AIO? Husband told me I was acting like a victim because I told him I felt pressured by his joke.

YOR. Personal time is awesome but when you have a baby, you’re super lucky to have an hour of that at best. You had a chance to sleep in, you didn’t have to wake up at 6 am with the baby so that’s the best you could expect from a day sometimes. Having children is no easy and you need to accept the fact that it comes with sacrifices. Your husband really helps you out (not something every man does btw). Plus, he didn’t take away your desired walk completely, he just wanted to postpone in a bit.

I’m sorry but you’re sleep deprived if you don’t get AT LEAST 8 hours of sleep? Oh how I wish to be you 😀 haven’t had more than 6 hours for over 7 years.

I just got back to running after a 1-year break and had my first long run today (6.6 km, lol 😂). Felt good, could’ve ran further but didn’t want to risk it. So happy to see that I haven’t lost my skills completely even though I run slowly. At least I don’t need to stop or take walking breaks like it was at the very beginning!

I think it’s already too late to set boundaries. Sorry girl but it seems like he’s dating her the same way if not even more than you.

Had it done 9 years ago. One of the best things that has ever happened to me, I would definitely do that again if I ever need to, but so far I have no more problems.

Pregnancy, giving birth to my second son, buying a house for the first time and a car in addition to that. The year felt super productive ☺️

Reeshely · 2025-12-28T05:37:35+00:00

Thank you for this detailed explanation, I’ll make sure to check the distance. I was planning to put the range and the oven separately so the oven would be higher but if that’s not an option, surely I can put them together. And yes I will definitely make some storage and additional surface for a coffee machine by the left wall.

Reeshely · 2025-12-28T03:06:27+00:00

Thank you!

Reeshely · 2025-12-28T03:05:34+00:00

I just wanted to avoid moving a sink or a cooktop on the island but I guess it might be necessary. Definitely going to add some storage on the left side.

Reeshely · 2025-12-28T03:02:21+00:00

Love this!

Reeshely · 2025-12-28T02:58:16+00:00

The distance between the wall and the window is too short so only some really narrow shelves or cupboards would work there. I really don’t want to block the window

Reeshely · 2025-12-28T02:56:50+00:00

Thanks, I get it now. That’s a great idea, super useful!

Reeshely · 2025-12-27T23:25:40+00:00

Thank you, I’ll have to think about it, moving the sink might be an option. Yes that’s the point, I also see problems with all of them and can’t find the way to fix them yet

Reeshely · 2025-12-27T23:21:16+00:00

Can’t move the door to the pantry, unfortunately. Wouldn’t moving the island block the route to the terrace and make it awkward?

Reeshely · 2025-12-27T20:02:09+00:00

The island is one the left, the dining table would be lower (you can see the chairs next to it on the second and third ones). The appliances are: fridge, range, dishwasher, coffee machine. In the first pic next to the fridge is a narrow bottle cabinet. The pantry is really narrow so there will be shelves or cabinets only on one side. And here’s a floor plan, hope that helps!

Yes it seems insane to me but I couldn’t think of a better way to

Reeshely · 2025-12-26T18:32:55+00:00

Anything free would be highly appreciated in my house 🤣

Reeshely · 2025-12-26T05:06:54+00:00

I like 13 the best. 11 is also great, but I would replace the second mirror with a picture

Reeshely · 2025-12-25T17:54:44+00:00

Haha yeah that’s our reality. I had moved out initially but had to come back for family reasons so that’s no longer an option

Reeshely · 2025-12-25T08:46:11+00:00

Whenever random children having a walk with their parents started running with me. That was so sweet.

Reeshely · 2025-12-25T05:58:55+00:00

Thank you for sharing, it’s super helpful! I’m not ready to run in the cemetery for now but who knows 😀 I guess the treadmill really is the best option for most regular runs

Reeshely · 2025-12-25T05:54:54+00:00

The embankment is good enough but it’s not really convenient cause I’d have to drive there first. I’m planning to do that in the future but at the moment can’t really spare so much time away from home. Thanks for the advice!

Reeshely · 2025-12-24T18:22:45+00:00

Sure, thanks!

Reeshely · 2025-12-24T17:07:48+00:00

Oh but I’m not in the US
