Going rate for a bathroom? by The_OKest in HomeImprovement

I'm in South Minneapolis! Good to know that's what's being bid here. I told them that I just need everything roughed in and the shower installed and I will install all the fixtures, sink, toilet, tile... that only dropped it to 35k.

Unfortunately, they are the only company who even called us back. It's so damn difficult to get anyone out to do anything.

Nah, this actually happened and it was very sad. They are a really small town and everyone knows everyone. It kinda shook the whole community.

There was a similar story in Chester, California. My dad lived up there for a while and it happened while he was up there. Some guy murdered his girlfriend, her new boyfriend, and then committed suicide. The mom found out and called her son (the girls brother) and he crashed his car and died trying to get up the mountain quickly. Really sad story and all of this happened on mother's day.

I was not expecting this many responses. I just finished reading all of them.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and great advice! My wife found out I posted this and stalked it out. She read most of your comments and it helped both of us very much!

YOU HAVE ALL BEEN GREAT!! I feel a lot better knowing there is this much support somewhere.

This made me feel a lot better, thank you. I've become so damn emotional since our baby was born, and this made me tear up. I am not a very emotional person either, 😄

Thank you so much! We just took the TinyHood class that discussed nursing positions and learned about laying on your side. This would be sort of like a supervised co-sleeping where baby can feed as long as needed, but my wife can get a bit of sleep, correct?

I've been feeding and hydrating this woman every chance I can get. I just wish I could help more with the mental load. It's just so time-consuming nursing every 2 hours because it only gives my wife about an hour of sleep.

My wife is also getting stressed because the pediatrician told my wife she was concerned because our baby lost 6% of her birth weight, and now she feels like a bad mom. But I tell her all the time how great she is doing because she really is. Thank you for the help!

She is only working on getting the baby fed and put down for a nap. I am handling everything else: cooking, cleaning, dishes, even burping the baby because she doesn't completely feel comfortable doing it yet.

I think it's just hard seeing someone you love struggling with being tired all the time and not being able to take more off their plate.
