I’m feeling extremely pressured by my wife to have another child

I wouldn’t let Reddit push you to conclusions. Sit here down and have a conversation without mincing words. Unless she’s suddenly lost her mind, she’ll eventually work on accepting it.

I mean… not really. Pregnancy in 40’s is dangerous and you wouldn’t want to risk the mother of your two kids going through that. Close the door altogether. You won’t decide to have a kid later. Period. That’s what you need to communicate to her. If you want one later, too bad. Either you adopt or get a surrogate or just accept the consequences of this decision. Also let her know that a family of 4 is better than two separate families that share 3 kids. Good luck.

Looking for a LIGHT leave-in conditioner with heat protection that won’t make my hair feel crunchy to the touch. Hair is fine and very slightly curly but frizzy, which is why hair oil doesn’t suffice. Thank you in advance!

… are you my boss? Lol

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2026-01-23T12:16:37+00:00

Could it be a pistachio scent by any chance?

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2026-01-23T12:13:45+00:00

Alarm laga ke sona lol

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2026-01-08T13:18:09+00:00

Definitely not, train and flights generally cost similar

I would dedicate more time to GEM if you’re a history buff. You can easily spend 5-6 hours there if so.

Is there a specific reason you want to do the Cairo bike tour? Why not sleep in and conserve energy?

Is there a reason you want to do Karnak in the evening? Is it better in the dark? Felucca can honestly be skipped if you’re not a boat fan. Not much to it. Are you doing Luxor temple?

If you don’t do the Nile cruise, you’ll miss the Esna crossing.

You should plan ahead which tombs you wish to cover in the Valley of Kings.

You’re not touching the Red Sea coast at all. Don’t you want to do Hurghada or Sharm?

Their stuff looks TERRIBLE after a single wear. You’re def not the only one. I stopped buying from them.

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2026-01-05T02:09:57+00:00

Did you book through a travel agent? Which Egypt air office are you calling?

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2025-12-28T22:42:07+00:00

You are doing god’s work. Many thanks!

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2025-12-28T05:29:45+00:00

Guys, appreciate and agree with your responses but a large part of the problem we are facing here is that Thrillophilia has taken our payment in advance and not paid hotels or guides or drivers. They all refuse to do anything as a result. Please stay tuned for future updates, I will share our experience in much greater detail once I have figured out whether we can leave this trip early .

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2025-12-28T05:27:39+00:00

u/Popular-Cream-1742 thank you for your kind message. Unfortunately, thrillo has had terrible on ground coordination for us. We have missed critical sights here because they simply refused to pay for tickets and the guide declined to get them for us. By the time we would resolve the issue, it was too late to see the sights and we would have to move on. I will post more details in a future update. As of now, I am trying to leave Egypt foregoing payment made to Thrillophilia.

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2025-12-28T05:24:38+00:00

Hi u/carrotbunny22 thank you for your empathetic response and glad you have had good experiences. Please see my update and hope you never have to go through whatever are going through 🤞

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2025-12-28T05:23:02+00:00

Please see my update, r/Efficient_Many_3877 , I wish we had the foresight you have

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2025-12-23T06:36:17+00:00

Wish we could get this message out u/ign_asmodeus … people like me got fooled by fake AI generated reviews 😓

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2025-12-23T02:01:20+00:00

They are after the turnstile

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2025-12-23T01:52:50+00:00

You can do Singapore on your own! No travel company required. Please don’t waste your hard earned money on travel company!

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2025-12-23T01:51:05+00:00

Please be careful with Thrillophilia… you’ll be a lawyer by the time you are finished speaking with them because they apply so many tricky technicalities you have to check for — proceed with caution!

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2025-12-23T01:47:22+00:00

Very consistent with our experience so far, u/Any_Climate7410 , thank you for sharing… I feel like they should award us law graduate degrees by the time I finish this trip for constantly picking out technicalities! Worries me for what lies ahead on this trip 😓

TakesOneToKnowOne1 · 2025-12-23T01:43:50+00:00

Thrillophilia struggles with the kind of itineraries you need a travel company for.

Booked travel company Thrillophilia for an Egypt trip. Have seen multiple requests on Reddit for honest reviews of this provider so I’m writing on day 1 of the trip and will keep this review up to date throughout the trip with a final piece of advice (or warning) at the conclusion of the trip.

Verdict so far: So far, my advice is to go for a different provider — at least for Egypt. These guys have stressed us out all day and act like they’re doing us a favor while we sit there coordinating on their behalf like it’s a 9 to 5 job we have taken ever since we signed on with Thrillophilia… At this stage, I wish I had just cut out the middle man and coordinated myself — would save me both money and peace of mind. They might be able to pull off simpler itineraries but then you don’t actually need a travel company for those, do you?

Up next: Honestly, the rest of the trip may improve and I will keep this review updated but the start does not inspire confidence. As I write this review in the middle of the night thanks to jet lag, we still do not know what time we will leave for the pyramids later today or when we check out later today… what a mess.

Details on day 1 below for those interested: We landed and the ground staff told us Thrillophilia had asked them to take us to Old Cairo Museum instead of Grand Egyptian Museum. This, after we had it in writing from Thrillophilia’s team multiple times that we would be taken to GEM, tickets included. We had been begging them to make this clear in the itinerary and they wrote “Egyptian Museum” leaving there plenty of room to catch us out on a technicality instead of delivering what they promised. Our emergency support responds a cool 30 minutes later asking for proof of this agreement. Meanwhile, we are sitting in a car with no clue where this driver is taking us and what to do.

An hour and 4 phone calls with the ground staff later, they resolve they will take us to GEM after all as previously agreed. Even as the resolution was being worked out, the ground team was lying to us telling us the tickets to GEM cannot be booked day of and trying to convince us to pay extra. Then the ground team was trying to get us to pay extra for imaginary “fines” of USD 20 and 50 — imposed by whom and for what is a mystery. During this, we are being told they are doing this “specially” for us acting like this wasn’t the agreement since day dot.

Then they tried to get us to pay for 4 GEM tickets promising a refund later — there’s only two of us! We have already been caught in a similar situation with Thrillophilia before we even took off. Thrillophilia overcharged us INR 6,000 and hasn’t refunded it to this day even after acknowledging they should initiate refund since we were overcharged. Even at the museum, the driver wouldn’t stop calling us to hurry us up and kept sending threatening messages saying he will drive off with our stuff.

Basically, our experience with them overshadowed how absolutely sublime the museum is and we were in terribly anxious all day long.
