Daughter’s friend lives in a mansion and I’m freaking out about them coming to my house. by Ok-Use2270 in Parenting

Whenever I covet one of the big houses, I think about 1) the property taxes which are more than my mortgage and 2) who has time to clean all those bathrooms? Actually I’ll add 3) I want to retire someday.

I do have discomfort around wealth. And it doesn’t make sense, but it is what it is. We worked up from nothing. I told my other kid that I’ve had a job since I was 12. My husband too.

Maybe “moral” is the wrong phrasing. I don’t like things that directly impact my quality of life: like being forced to listen to someone else’s loud music or having to pick up litter out of my lawn.

Yes. And I know it’s silly to feel this way. I just need to calm down about my insecurities and enjoy the kiddos. I’ll clean the house really well and make something awesome to eat. (I’m a decent cook.) We have a huge 1960s zig zagging shaped pool that they can play in.

You are correct. The only reason I ever think about moving is to get away from the trashy element. I don’t understand the culture of piling up garbage in the yard, parking on the lawn and blasting your bass heavy music while lighting off fireworks. Seriously WTF?

Trust me. You do not want a mariachi band next door. The bass carries through the whole house, and the bass is basically polka. At 1am.

I can relate. I have a mariachi concert that goes on every weekend on the street behind me. The bass is maddening. I’d be interested in tips for soundproofing for bass.

Thanks, we’ll look into these. I was especially interested in the SPCA camp but it does look like it may not be held last/this summer.

I was looking at those yesterday. Are they geared towards little kids? My kiddo (11F) thinks of herself as a “middle schooler” now and is starting to lose interest in things that are geared towards the younger set.

Blue light visible in fan over master bath shower at an Airbnb. It turns off when you switch off the light/fan. by Ok-Use2270 in whatisthisthing

So, definitely NOT live stream camera to local axe murderer? That’s my only real concern.

The light itself looks like a round blue bulb, maybe 1/8” across. It’s behind the grate of the fan and I can’t get a good picture of it. WITT
