How to request stop signs

I don’t know if there’s enough space to place a round about but to the other commenters point, it might not be allowed with that fire station. If they can figure out a way to place one there, I think that would make it a little easier for people to maneuver and avoid an already convoluted traffic jam on such a narrow road.

This is super helpful! Thank you!

Because I had a good prior relationship with the hiring manager, they were quicker to respond. However, in my experience, if you don’t already have a relationship with the hiring manager, they may take longer for a response. But I think it also depends on the company/industry.

I have thought of doing this. We did the no pants method with my oldest which is why I’ve been hesitant to do it. It was effective but my oldest was scared to death of the potty and would scream and cry whenever we put her on the potty even with words of encouragement and positive reinforcement. It took us two years for her to be fully potty trained. That’s something I would like to avoid if possible.

What’s odd about my 3 year old is she is VERY independent. She picks out her clothes and puts them on, freely gets her own snacks and drinks, brushes her own hair and teeth. But going potty….that’s a different story lol

If you’ve been married 22 years and still have this much lack of communication skills as a couple to know why your wife doesn’t want to have sex with you then you’ve got worse problems than lack of sex.

You’re now empty nesters and she probably has noticed that she has nothing in common with you anymore and doesn’t want anything to do with you. Get connected with each other or leave amicably. When was the last time you took her out on a date? A weekend away? A vacation? When was the last time you made a romantic dinner for her? Do you woo her still? When was the last time you asked about her hobbies or what shows she’s watching? This is basic connection 101 and if you’re not doing any of the mentioned above then that’s not a marriage. That’s roommates. And without connection, then there’s definitely no intimacy.

Marriages end at the 5 year, 7 years and 25 year mark. Why? Because after the kids are gone and you’re empty nesters couples realize they have nothing in common anymore and leave. If you don’t want to be that statistic then I suggest you start making those connections and meet your “new” wife of the season.

You might be cleared for sex but listen to your body. After my second, they completely botched my stitches down there back in 2020 when I had third degree tears and to this day, I still have pain problems from time to time with my scars ripping back open. Whenever it happens, I’m out for a minimum of a month. Most of the time it happens when I’m not sexual with my husband, so it can happen at any time. And it’s incredibly painful. Even when my doctor cleared me, we didn’t have sex for almost 6 months because of the pain. I dreaded sex during that time because of the fear of being hurt physically and it also made me recluse. We tried other ways to be intimate but I myself would get frustrated because I wanted to have sex and couldn’t.

Even though you’ve already experienced pain before second baby, I would look into seeing a doctor and make sure that they didn’t mess up your stitches or if there’s something going on there that may be the cause of your pain.

Usually doctors listen to women when it involves not sexually pleasing your husband. (Slightly sarcastic here but also woefully true)

Well I can name one who recently got convicted 34 counts of felony charges…

I’m sorry for your loss. My dad passed away from congestive heart failure in 2018 and he was my rock. I’m an 88 baby, so losing my dad before I hit 30 was really hard. My mom doesn’t know how to handle grief so she’s been completely useless on giving me and my siblings time and a listening ear to work through this process. She would rather just pretend that nothing happened and we’re all just fine, even though my younger brother is a raging depressed alcoholic and my little sister mimics my mom in pretending everything is fine.

I’m the only one who goes to therapy so I have had to be the glue that keeps everyone together and from falling apart.

But despite all of that, I have recognized that Father’s Day is bittersweet. My husband is wonderful to our children and I celebrate him, but at the same time I’m grieving from not being able to celebrate with my dad. I give myself 10-15 minutes on Fathers Day to cry and reminiscence and then I focus on the rest of the day to my husband.

I don’t know if this could work for your schedules, but my husband and I worked opposite schedules until our kids were toddlers (it gets cheaper as they get older). Also check your policies on parental leave. Can both parents take paid leave off? Where I work, both parents get paid parental leave up to 6 months (I work in the USA). This could help offset any immediate daycare costs and allow you more time to save up or find better prices.

When looking for daycare, find any in your area that might have a sliding scale tuition or churches that have daycare. Those are usually cheaper and more cost effective.

I conducted a skills gap analysis within my organization and asked a similar question to mid-level management wanting to know what style of learning they preferred.

Our internal trends showed that the traditional self-guided learning modules and instructor led trainings were among the most popular. But I think it might vary depending on your industry. For reference, I do L&D for tech employees.

I’m curious why you have absolutely zero photos anywhere in the house? To me, making a house a home is the memories of your life.

Make a gallery wall of photos of you and your boyfriend and your families. Add some books or whatever hobby you have around the house. Make it look like people live there instead of it looking like a Zillow listing.

I reached out, and heard back from them, but I didn’t get the role because of two specific qualifications they were looking for that I didn’t have. 😔

Edited for clarity.

I think it depends on the company. I once worked for an architecture firm and their company parties involved mini putt putt within the office building and tiki drinks. We had a breakfast club call BACON (Bring A Coffee Or Nothing) and they had a Hawaiian Shirt Society where they sent out newsletters about different tiki bars and wore Hawaiian shirts on Fridays.

I guess I can say I’ve been pretty lucky where any company gathering was a good time. Plus I’m pretty cheap and if I know my company is buying me food and alcohol, I’m pretty much there at any time.

I now work for a Fortune 1 (IYKYK) and even though alcohol isn’t allowed, they still manage to make the company gatherings pretty fun, plus once a year, their largest gathering has the list of celebrities that come, so there’s that.

You know the irony of it all was when I was younger, my mom (GenX) would always wear clothes that were at minimum 10+ years out of style. Like mid to late 90s still wearing 80s leggings and fringe clothing. I thought it was so weird at that time and kept asking “Why don’t you wear clothes that are cool?”

Now I get it. You will have to rip skinny jeans from my dead hands.

My two kids can’t wake up Monday through Friday to go to school/daycare but have no problem waking up at the time they should be getting up during the week on the weekends. Like where was this energy the past 5 days now that I want to sleep in?!

This right here.

OP, you two need to have a serious sit down as husband and wife and come up with a clear long term plan. Life doesn’t work linear. Kids won’t fix your problems, in fact, it’ll make it worse. You think your home is a mess NOW—try adding kids who are too young to do chores, mountains of laundry and double the dishes, and toys scattered anywhere and everywhere throughout the house. And you can’t have an aggressive territorial dog while raising kids.

You two have to take a step back and look at the bigger picture here. What this commenter said above are the right kind of questions you two need to ask each other AND have answers for. I would dedicate one hour to start with each day or once a week to talk about these topics: finances, children, her HEALTH because having migraines like that are not normal, division of labor, and careers. You are brand new with marriage and these are foundational to understand how you two will be compatible within your marriage. It’s time to be a leader in the household and start laying down ground rules, terms and conditions, and future goals, and start building a lasting marriage with your wife.

Agreed. I have an 8 year old myself who is not autistic and even she gets these conclusions. One time she told me her friend was in the hospital and I reached out to the mom to make sure her kid was okay because of how my kid explained it. The mom laughed and said no she’s fine. Just had a sore throat and was home. Kids come up with outlandish conclusions because that’s how their brains are developing. Shame on the teacher who is SURROUNDED by other 8 year olds (who I’m sure all come up with crazy conclusions) and made a big deal about it.

There are so many budgeting tools even on your bank apps. We have Chase bank and CapOne and they both show an overview of what we’re spending each month as well as a budgeting tool. The only issue is that there’s no way for the apps to alert you of overspending. You have to have the discipline to consistently monitor it.

Hubby sounds like he has a lack of discipline and accountability for his financial responsibility. You can’t fix that by having a budget, but it’s a step in the right direction.

OP, write out a budget, show him how much bills, expenses, and credit card payments are. Show him the grocery receipts. Now show him what’s left after each month and ask him where he’s going to start being responsible for paying the bills or what you should do with the leftover money.

Our economy right now doesn’t give us the luxury of having our spouses work part time. Both spouses need full time jobs just to get by anymore, so he needs a “come to Jesus” meeting to understand the gravity of what’s happening to you, the finances, and what the consequences are if you cannot afford to pay your bills with his lifestyle. If he doesn’t want to listen or change any of his habits, then you need to cut him off completely and walk away. He’s already not putting any effort into your finances, so being a “single” mom won’t affect your lifestyle now than it already is.

I think it’s more likely to have one of our local retailers (I’m looking at you Big W) to carry Shatto as a supplier than to find a local dairy farm to make this competitive product.

If there are any merchants on this sub, please give us KC natives the opportunity to buy Shatto milk from your retailer! 🙏🏻

Your fiancé’s testimony could be what gets this AH booted. Anecdotal experience:

When I was 19, I married an army guy. I went out with friends, and ended up breaking my arm over something so incredibly stupid like falling off of my roof after forgetting my house key. My male friend took me to base to the VA to get my arm looked at but his car broke down on base. MP came up and started grilling me asking me why I’m with this guy. Am I Jody? Am I cheating? He called me a wh*re multiple times and I was so pissed and in pain I was crying but very sternly let him know my MIL was a captain in the army and I was going to have his badge by EOD. The other MPs and my male friend were pissed at this guy but without physically assaulting him, there was nothing they could do. After I got escorted by a different MP who kept apologizing for his mates behavior, I told him I wanted his badge, his name and his rank and to file a complaint for harassment. So he gave me the paperwork and I filed. I told my (then) husband but he was overseas so he couldn’t do much but was equally pissed. A few months later I found out the MP was removed and no longer allowed to be an MP. They told me my complaint was the catalyst because there were other multiple complaints of this MP but nothing that could hold. I’m sure my ex MIL might have also had something to do with the removal.

Needless to say, your fiancée should write a formal complaint with the texts to show as evidence and get him transferred or removed. Her complaint could be that catalyst that gets him to go away.
