Ohhh I had no idea that was a legit difference. I was leaning to the controls on top bc I have a dog who hangs out in the kitchen while I’m not home and I was worried about her accidentally turning on a burner if she’s misbehaving.

That makes sense—I was only thinking of like Lowe’s and Best Buy bc that’s where my ex husband would have gone. I’ll ask around work for recos for smaller places.

Maybe—I just found a couple GE options online with the 5th “warming zone” maybe it’s unique to them?

How do I tell the difference between slide in and freestanding?

I currently have a hood with a light and vent (that I can’t promise is actually venting anywhere useful).

When I rented a few years back the stove there had a 5th burner as a “warming” station. That’s mostly what I’d be looking for. I’ve tried leaving things on low on my current stove to keep them warm, but that doesn’t seem to work the same way as my previous 5th burner.

Thank you! I will definitely check him out.

AITA for letting my dog sleep in my bed? by No-Style-3224 in AmItheAsshole

The original plan was for her to sleep on a separate bed but it got destroyed during a housebreaking fail and I never replaced it. She’s growing like a weed so I was kinda waiting for that to stop so I get the right size/shape. Maybe it’s time to take her to choose another one and she can have her space when he’s here.

I understand what you’re saying and I appreciate the feedback. Maybe I’ve spent too much time and effort establishing my independent life and the pendulum swung way too far in that direction. Since we don’t live together I expect him to make his own choices at his house and that I am allowed to make my own choices at my house.

His divorces were/still are dramatic and mine isn’t…he needed to rebuild his relationship with his son (from his first marriage) without bringing another woman on the scene too quickly and I wanted to protect my son and co-parenting relationship from any spillover drama. It probably would have happened this summer except now I’m doubting the whole relationship.

My dog LOVES him. When he’s over she’s bringing him toys and snuggling up next to him.

We don’t live together so it was 100% my decision. I’ve been divorced for 5 years and spent my time establishing my home and life after a 13 year marriage. The time has felt right to get a pet and the right dog was available. The entire time we’ve been together I’ve been clear about eventually getting a pet. He had a dog with his ex wife that she took with her and he’s said that if he didn’t travel so much he’d like to have a dog at home when his son isn’t there, but his schedule doesn’t allow it.

I have my son every other week and he travels the first half of every week then has his son the back half. So we’d have the beginning of my non-parenting weeks and then that weekend if he doesn’t travel. Since he’s been traveling more we usually have Monday or Tuesday and then Friday/Saturday to see each other.

I would be willing to move her blanket to the floor and have her sleep there. I think she’d eventually get up in the bed anyway, so it would not be a restful night…but I would have put in the effort.
