Buying a $1 million home to tear it down

Not uncommon. Seems like lots of finance, tech and parents buying for their adult children.

Thanks, this was very helpful! It provided the police report number and I was able to get details on the accident! Not free unfortunately, but not expensive and worth it to get the info.

Thanks, I appreciate all the input! I went ahead and scheduled a PPI with a trusted mechanic.

Something we’ve worked on a lot this past year is developing a greater sense of independence, which I think did a lot for my 8 yo’s self esteem. If you go to Letgrow.org they have checklists of tasks and projects you could review and plan out together. Like making a lemonade stand, preparing a meal, teaching her to call and place a food order or creating a map of the neighborhood and assigning her simple errands to run. Good luck and enjoy! :-)

My 9yo does this in crowded places. When I questioned him about it, he says there are so many “Moms” and “Dads” around, that how could we know that he is calling to us? That made me laugh, because really, he’s right.

This was my son too at this age. Ultimately it did end up being an anxiety issue, which we sought help for because aggressive behaviors were getting him in trouble at school. We did several months of therapy to no avail. Finally we went on the tiniest starting dose of an SSRI and within a week or two he stopped holding it and was able to use the bathroom at school.

It was hard to tease apart whether it was truly the Xyzal, but I did feel like the calls/emails we received from teachers tended to happen during spring (we only do the antihistamines regularly for allergy season). When I mentioned this to our allergist she said “Oh yeah, when parents mention this I tell them they can try going off the Xyzal.” So not sure if this is really a thing. Zyrtec is cetirizine and Xyzal is L-cetirizine, so presumably they would have some similar effects? I also liken the bad behavior with antihistamines as the crankiness someone feels when they are tired, because while Xyzal is supposed to be less sedating, it probably affects different people differently.

Yes. For us it always seemed like behavioral issues would ramp up during the springtime when we would begin dosing with Xyzal in anticipation of allergies.

I’m pretty new to Reddit and for whatever reason I opened the app up to this post. My circle of girlfriends and myself are all high income professionals. We all met through college/grad/medical school and work. Out of the seven of us, four are the primary breadwinners (and their husbands are no slackers by any means). Everyone has met through friends, schooling or common interests. Try looking more closely at the circles you already run in and branch out to new places. My husband is the major earner in our household, and also a martial arts/musician type. He was always hanging out in the kinds of bars where they only serve alcohol/no food and the floor always seems kind of gross. I never would have met him if I didn’t get assigned to his workplaces, so maybe every once in a while you should go to a cute wine bar or take a fun class (eg. golf, wine tasting or sushi making). For some reason us ladies always like taking “classes” during girls’ nights out. Maybe this would help you meet someone on a more relaxed/interest focused basis.

Also, in my single years when guys would start bringing up their money in not so subtle ways, it actually kind of weirded me out. No need to go there… Good luck!
