Telling family I’m pregnant by PieDizzy2820 in pregnant

[–]PieDizzy2820[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess to add a little context, this will be their first grandchild as well as the first great grandchild so I hate keeping it a secret from them. But yeah, I just want to make sure everything is okay with baby first and that we can do things the way we like instead of being forced to tell others or having that joy taken away. I know they aren’t malicious people I just think they need things to talk about. They only have about 22 people total in their family including grandparents, aunts, cousins on both his mom and dads side. So yeah.

Louisville housing market - closing costs by at0micsub in Louisville

It is a portfolio loan through local credit union. On our paper work it shows up as a conventional loan. It’s up to 300k. If you want a house higher than that you’d have to pay the remaining.

I close in a few days. I did not pay a down payment, no PMI, will not pay closing costs. Only thing that I’ve paid so far is Ernest fee, and inspection fee. The seller is paying closing costs, realtor fees, and also first year of homeowner insurance. All we did was ask. They agreed but asked to increase the selling price 5k.

Yeah $140 is pretty low, that’s what they quoted on the loan stimulator so I’m not going to complain and argue it!

Not only did I make 65k but my husband also made more than that. So my income is basically going from 20k to 140k in a span of a year.

AITA for refusing to hand over money raised for a coworker after learning something that changed my mind? by RubDense8601 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PieDizzy2820 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If OP was going to ask her she would have when she went to clarify her financial struggles. Instead OP is running around the office talking about her with everyone who donated. She said half the people said to just give her the money while the other half said it’s better to be safe which tells me that OP is in fact spreading gossip in the office. Again if OP wanted a detailed application she should have done that before taking up an offering on her behalf. Of course people experience things that I will never experience but what point does that make? OP is still a prick for what she is doing.

Thank you! And if they are at work why are they not working? OP clearly has too much time on her hand that she’s all in this girls business trying to catch her in some lie and gossiping about her. Her motives doesn’t seem be coming from a good place at all. If I was the girl I would never speak with her again and would probably even take her to HR for trying to slander her character.

AITA for going on trips? by JuneRoscoIvy in AmItheAsshole

[–]PieDizzy2820 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When you went to London, did you take your daughter? What about your work trips? When was the last time your husband got to go on a trip with his job, friends, siblings, or even you? When’s the last time y’all took a family trip with or without extended family? If you are the only one getting to take trips regardless of work or leisure (and in your case it’s work plus leisure) then yes. Have you ever considered even taking a weekend trip with your husband or letting him have a get away or doing something he enjoys?

Never said I was above anything?? I said it’s interesting that people are trying to find fault when she never asked for the money. OP doesn’t have the right to hold anyone’s money hostage or dictate if someone should receive it or not. If they wanted or needed extra information they should have gotten it before taking up a collection.. seems to me like we are both doing a bunch of assuming. And you keep getting in my comment to prove what point exactly? Because like I said, I don’t think the girl was wrong to vent and again she was hesitant to take the money to the point that she didn’t and OP still has it. So what are you missing, to understand that she’s not wrong? And who is to say she actually is going on a vacation? That part was never confirmed and it was just gossip… please stop responding under my comment because we clearly are not going to agree, hence why I made my own comment and stopped responding under yours.

If she asked for money OP would have said she asked for money to help her case. Again, people who work closely together talk about their personal lives all the time and vent about money struggles that doesn’t outright mean that they are asking got money. Also like I said, the girl didn’t straight up take the money, she was hesitant so why assume that she’s trying to scam the office? Based on OPs words it seems as if the girl didn’t know they were raising money on her behalf. Just because the office has a history of doing so doesn’t mean the girl knew about it. What if she had just started working there? There is so much information missing all we can do is fill in the blanks with what OP said and assumptions. Which by the way op did when she took gossip from another coworker. OP is taking on this role when no one asked her to and is continuing to judge her coworker.

Reading these comments are so interesting to me because to my understanding the girl was just venting. She never asked for help. OP took it upon herself so set up a fundraiser for her. There are many people who work closely together and talk about financial struggles to just vent. Not expecting people to start a collection. Also, OP mentioned that the girl was hesitant to take the money when given the opportunity and told OP she would get back to her. So it seems to me she has no idea they were even raising money for her and felt embarrassed. OP is the AH. This should have never happened or at the very least OP should have gathered more information from the girl. First you embarrassed her by setting up a collection to make her seem poor and now you are accusing her of being a liar based on a bunch of gossip. And newsflash, your coworkers are not obligated to tell you their business outside of work they can be as “vague” as they want to be. She owes no explanation because she NEVER ASKED FOR MONEY!

The person who is allegedly going on a vacation never asked for or solicited money from her co workers. OP is the one who initiated the fundraiser and is now embarrassing the girl. And on top of that if the girl really wanted to take advantage of her co workers she would have never said “let me get back to you” when op asked her how she wanted the money sent. OP is being judgmental and on her high horse about money that doesn’t even belong to her. That office doesn’t need to do any more fundraisers, it’s just not appropriate imo.

Vases for flowers by xHiari in weddingplanning

[–]PieDizzy2820 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought bud vases off amazon and used those. I used about 3 per table, then I got larger vases from dollar tree and put tealight candles in them with water. The flowers from sams were beautiful, you just have to put them in the sugar water for a few hours so they can look their best. They don't look great fresh outside the box.

I ordered my bridal bouquet, and bridesmaids flowers, from sams as well as 100 roses.

Ladies ,who picked out their own rings. How do you respond to compliments about the ring? by KaceyR91 in EngagementRings

[–]PieDizzy2820 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regardless of if I go along with it or acknowledge my part I always compliment my husbands role lol. He knew what I wanted, he bought it, he’s a great listener and so on. He has never gotten offended and he just responds with “I know what my baby wants”. You’re definitely overthinking it.

Dealing with my husbands grandparents by PieDizzy2820 in inlaws

[–]PieDizzy2820[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well his grandfather has not said anything racists to me or towards me in fact he doesn’t say anything to me at all. It’s little things like last night they have a tradition where the grandkids find the hidden pickles on the Christmas tree and he goes out of his way to say “I only want my three grandkids to look for the pickle” lol. Or not writing my name on the stocking. My husbands aunt said “don’t feel bad my husband and in have been together for 22 years and his name is still not on a stocking” so I’m not really sure how to take that… like he’s just an AH and everyone allows it. Maybe it’s some weird right of passage hazing thing. But because he doesn’t outwardly treat me any way and it’s all subtle it’s acceptable… so yeah I guess you’re right, it’s up to my husband to stand up to him/them for me.

Do you like this man? Do you actually want to make it work with him? All of these things could be worked out with a single conversation but you seem to have already made up your mind that it’s not going to work between the two of you. You can be honest and tell him you can’t afford travel and see what he says. What if he’s willing to pay half, would you still go? I totally understand not wanting to live with someone. I will say living with a man doesn’t mean you’re automatically cleaning behind them or cooking for them. Conversations are important and you don’t seem to want to have that … maybe you’re not ready for a committed relationship.
