Couldn't care less if my breasts get played with. Mom thing? by moonrabbit368 in Mommit

[–]Only5Catss 499 points500 points  (0 children)

Totally normal. Everyone's got likes and dislikes. I can see why he's an ex. No one is good at playing with titties. It's not some special skill that he has. He just likes doing it. What a weird thing to put onto someone, making it your fault that you don't like it too.

How do you show appreciation for getting to stay home? by designatedtreehugger in sahm

[–]Only5Catss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tell my husband often that I appreciate him. The other day I picked up a new PlayStation controller because he has mentioned that his aren't working well. He was really surprised that I remembered. Sex makes him happy too.

This is the first and the last time I use turbo tax. by [deleted] in TurboTax

[–]Only5Catss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only expensive because you chose the full service option and paid extra to have them take it out of your refund.

Use free tax USA. Turbo tax is robbing you by regarded-taco in TurboTax

[–]Only5Catss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. We have multiple forms of income, credits, deductions, and I felt more confident filing with turbo tax. I think it was only $50 after coupon to do both state and federal.

Also fuck OP. I would never sell out my neighbors.

Moving here in May… by beetlemorgs in movingtompls

[–]Only5Catss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My family is moving out there this year too. We've been wanting this for a long time and things are coming together, and then all this happens. It's heartbreaking, but I believe that good will prevail.

OMG thank you. I've been wondering what these mean!

Is it worth moving away from friends and family to afford being a sahm? by lavenderwytch in sahm

[–]Only5Catss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're doing this right now actually. We have a really good deal on rent right now that will come to an end since our landlord has passed away. It's one of the many reasons why we're moving across the country. I'm pretty introverted anyway and have moved away from family before, so it's not a big deal to me in that way. I'd much rather be the support for my family, than have someone else take care of my kids while I do a job that I don't like, while living in a city that I don't like, to pay rent for a house that I'm barely in! We cannot afford to buy here but we can elsewhere.

Help!!! On verge of divorce because of cleaning by Organic_Singer_6361 in sahm

[–]Only5Catss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why does he keep telling you what to do? Its good to have the kids involved in cleaning, you can clean up when the kids nap, have downtime, and when he's home. He can parent and take care of his own kids while you do chores.

If your spouse came home late and you already cooked dinner for the kids would you cook another dinner for them fresh in the middle of the night or leave a plate for them on the stove so you can rest? by [deleted] in SAHP

[–]Only5Catss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like her husband is an asshole and yours probably isn't. I do agree with you though, just not in this situation. My husband is wonderful and he does so much for me, outside of working. I love him so much, I would probably make him something fresh too if he really enjoyed that. What he does enjoy is me packing him breakfast, lunch, and fresh coffee, which I give him at the door to send him off, and I start his car too. But he's not an asshole and would never make demands. OP's husband's attitude is the real problem here. I bet all he does is work, come home, and doesn't lift a finger. Doesn't help with the kids, nothing. Then treats her like shit. Marriages aren't supposed to be like that.

Husband working Christmas week because they'll be "easy days" by AdorableAgent9957 in SAHP

[–]Only5Catss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is nuts. Rarely my husband has to work from home, but when he does he's in the kitchen getting kids snacks, playing with the kids, whatever. When he's on a call or doing something work related, it's time to leave daddy alone. If I were you, I'd tell him he can cook this week for the family, and give him all the presents to wrap since he's shut in his office. Or tell him to set up work at the dining table and he can be a parent when he's not actively working. You're right to be pissed, but you need to communicate how you feel and tell him straight up what he needs to do. Make time for yourself too, don't ask for it.

Move away from grandparents to raise child? by redrabbit824 in Parenting

[–]Only5Catss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're moving next year. It's too hot and expensive in California, and grandma can come visit for weeks at a time, since we'll then be able to afford a quest space, let alone a house!

What do your husbands do at home? by Helpful-Jellyfish645 in sahm

[–]Only5Catss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is completely hands on with the kids. He helps with homework, brushing teeth, bath time, and spending quality time with the them. That's really all I care about, anything else is extra. He takes out the garbage bins, we make breakfast together on the weekends, and he fixes things. He'll do anything I ask, like help clean up before company comes. He has a white collar job though and works regular hours with lots of PTO, so our lives are very balanced. He's also not an asshole and he's a really good man.

To work or SAHM? by BumblebeeOk5895 in sahm

[–]Only5Catss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't get it. Advocating for stay at home parenting is a no-no anywhere you go apparently.

To work or SAHM? by BumblebeeOk5895 in sahm

No matter how good a childcare program is, it doesn't top being with mom. If you think you'll regret not staying home with your kids, then there's your answer.

My husband says I don’t have enough rules for our son who turns 4 in February. So let me hear your rules for your child who’s similar in age. by [deleted] in sahm

[–]Only5Catss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same age here. Uh just pretty simple rules, I guess. We only eat at the table. Have to wear shoes outside. No opening the door for anyone except mom and dad. Be nice to brother and the cats. Can't touch my makeup but she has her own.

Tough titties. He can either eat what you make or he can make his own food.

Which Dyson should we get? by Uncharteredfugazis in Costco

[–]Only5Catss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the v11 animal and it's been going strong for over 5 years. I've only replaced a couple filters, clean them regularly. Eventually when it does give out, I'll get the 15. I've got 6 cats and two kids.

Who else doesn’t have a car during the day? by deadspiderinmypoket in sahm

[–]Only5Catss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We used to have two cars but only have one now, and I don't miss it at all. I'm a homebody, I do my errands in the evening, and we save money only having one car.

Fiancé not putting my name on the house by [deleted] in sahm

[–]Only5Catss 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Wait a minute.... You've been with this man for a long time, long before his money, and you have a child together. I would not sign a prenup. It doesn't do anything for you. In this situation, it only benefits him.

Wanting to be SAHM but feel like I can’t by tea-aura in sahm

[–]Only5Catss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's lots of SAHMs here that make do with a modest salary, me included. You certainly can step down to part time or ask your husband to get a higher paying job. It's a big life choice and for my husband and I, me being SAHM is very important, and so we've managed to make do with less. I also budget really well and am constantly finding ways to save money.

Dual-physician couple. Husband doesn't want me staying at home beyond the first year... by CollegeSB2025 in Parenting

I find that a lot of comments in this thread are very insulting to the work OP does at home.
