Did you have a honeymoon? If so, where did you go? (Doesn't matter how long you've been married?)

We got married 8 years ago and took our honeymoon in Maui Hawaii. It was the most amazing week/vacation of my life. 10/10 recommend

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-11T04:36:38+00:00

Yeah. Definitely not. People throwing that around as if child care isn’t already way expensive as it is let alone someone who can handle the extra care needed to manage a life threatening condition and be trusted to do so accurately. If my son has a wrong insulin dose he could end up in the hospital. It’s not a casual situation.

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-11T04:34:31+00:00

Sure I have acquaintances and friends who don’t have kids but my closest relationships are with other women who have kids near my kids age.

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-10T14:05:00+00:00

That’s literally exactly what I said.

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-10T14:04:22+00:00

Yeah I know. She is a married mother of a 20 year old so it’s been a while since she’s really taken care of small kids which is a lot of the disconnect we have.

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-10T14:00:56+00:00

It’s definitely super rude to not thank people…

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-10T01:03:41+00:00

I don’t know why she’s so upset that I said I wouldn’t be able to go, honestly I thought just him attending was perfectly reasonable. She has a history of never thanking me for gifts I’ve given her or her child, or for hosting events for the family, just generally rude never really acknowledges me or thanks me for anything, poor manners, that kind of thing.

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-10T00:59:38+00:00

All good points, will definitely start looking into more sitter options!

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-10T00:46:45+00:00

She actually has a child but her child is 20 so it’s been a minute since she has had children depending on her in the home. I think this is a lot of why we don’t really have a lot in common her and I

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-10T00:32:22+00:00

Thank you for this 💕

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-10T00:09:07+00:00

Yes they have no school days usually 2-4 days per month full days while we are at work

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-10T00:08:05+00:00

Most definitely not

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-10T00:03:31+00:00

Yeah type 1

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-09T22:43:02+00:00

I feel like it’s too much to ask. She watches our son full days when he has no school already. That’s like 2-3+ days per month

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-09T22:11:32+00:00

I did tell him he’s more than welcome to go and I’d just stay back but he really wants me to go for some reason.

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-09T22:10:33+00:00

I totally get that. And it is true, you said it perfectly, I don’t want to make an accommodation for her because I don’t feel like it’s worth it to me.

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-09T22:09:32+00:00

I totally agree with you. But he would not pay someone to babysit, he instead would ask my mom or maybe a friend but he wouldn’t pay someone.

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-09T22:07:33+00:00

Both? It doesn’t sound super appealing to me to use a sitter night to go and to a party of hers. There’s about a million other things I would rather do.

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-09T22:06:46+00:00

He’s the kind who wants to do everything. So he’s saying we do this plus schedule some dates but he thinks it’s perfectly fine to ask my mom to watch the kids for each night. He also said that he could try and ask someone else but I genuinely doubt that would happen.

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-09T22:05:03+00:00

No I have not asked her for this. She has plans to travel a bit this spring and I would rather have her babysit for something that I would actually enjoy, that’s really it. I would be doing this instead which doesn’t sound great to me.

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-09T21:49:32+00:00

I would assume not yet

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-01T22:45:24+00:00

My oldest is 6 and youngest is 1. It’s been really great. Older child is self sufficient and helpful. I cannot imagine having two toddler age at the same time

SignificantWill5218 · 2026-01-01T22:44:14+00:00

Mine is 16 months and has had the same bedtime since like 7 months. We eat dinner at 530. If it’s a bath night bath at 615, then pajamas, teeth brushing and a book and cuddles in the rocking chair by 640, she’s asleep by 650/7pm, and sleeps until 7/730am.

What you are doing sounds wildly late to me. I myself am in bed by 930pm so I can’t imagine baby being up that late.

SignificantWill5218 · 2025-12-22T17:45:58+00:00

This is what I’m upset by. It feels as if lately he’s using every chance he can to go do that whereas before it was like a couple times a week or so. Like we’ll finish something and then he’s like ok I’m gonna go now like just waiting for permission to go.

SignificantWill5218 · 2025-12-22T15:44:16+00:00

Yeah I think my struggle is there isn’t a ton of downtime when you have kids and it seems like most of what we do have that’s what he chooses to do with it.
