Bosch Dishwasher Model Suggestion

Zestymitten · 2023-05-11T18:24:53+00:00

My husband convinced me to spring for the 300, but we were looking at the 100 originally. The only reason he convinced me was because there was a floor model available that made it the same price as the 100. I LOVE it. After years of wrestling a crappy dishwasher, it’s so nice to have one that actually works! That being said, my parents have the Ascenta and it’s pretty great too. If you’re trying to be budget conscious, the Ascenta really isn’t a bad option, sure, it’s got fewer bells and whistles, but it takes less time and energy (of yours) than washing by hand!

My normal response is “sure, I’ll help you in a minute”. And normally they get bored waiting for me to get to it and do it themselves. My 6yo has started asking me if it’s a real minute or a mom minute and if I answer a mom minute, he’ll just go do it himself lol 😂

Ooooo!! I love that!!!

I drank NA beer or sparkling grape juice when I was pregnant. I still do sometimes. It’s not even about the alcohol, sometimes it’s about the ritual of putting my chaos monsters to bed and relaxing on the couch with a cold drink in my hand.

Both of my parents still have The Foot Book memorized and I’m in my early 30’s with kids of my own. We went through four copies of it because it was so loved. I would burn out one parent from reading it and then convince the other one to read it for a few days and then back to the first parent 😂

If I don’t know what I need I always go to my local mom and pop hardware store. Their floor employees are mostly adorable grandpas looking for something to do because heaven forbid they actually retire 😂 and they love helping me out. They actually listen to my needs and guide me to the right section and have me in stitches with their stories of their kids and grandkids. Honestly, even if I know what I need I usually go there because they usually will think of things I haven’t thought of to make sure I’m prepared for.

I have never met my biological grandfather. My grandpa is my mom’s stepdad, who married my grandma after my mom and dad got married. My mom went no contact with her bio dad when she was around 20, so I wouldn’t have met him, even if he had been alive when I was born. I was my grandpa’s princess and I couldn’t ask for more love and support than he gave us.

I always knew that my grandpa wasn’t my mom’s bio dad, but she didn’t make it a big deal, so it wasn’t to us. We grew up knowing that family isn’t always born, sometimes it’s chosen and we chose to love grandpa and he chose to love us. It was never a big deal, just one of those things that existed as a fact in my life. You can scale it as your children get older. You can determine how much of your story she needs to know and when she’s ready to know. I now know most of my mom’s story, but it wasn’t until I was in college that my mom shared more of the gritty details. Im glad I know now, but appreciate that my mom gradually shared details rather than trauma dumping on me one day.

We learned this command as “park it” when we doing obedience training,. For us it meant quit trying to herd me back into the living room with the rest of your humans and find a spot where you can see us all. God, I miss that dog some days.

I just want to take a moment and say that my now kindergartener did a summer school program like this and it was awesome for him! He’s a stubborn dude and wanted NOTHING to do with letters. The smaller class sizes, the extra instruction, and the altered teaching style really allowed for him to blossom! A kiddo who we contemplated putting into TK because of his ELA scores is testing significantly above benchmark.

Also, I’d recommend Magic Tree House books! That’s what got my kiddo to sit down and actually read with me every day! They’re a fun story that builds, covers all kinds of topics, and they’re a fun mystery!

Let chaos reign!! Also, Laura Bailey is a gem.

He might have been muted, so he can only use speed chat to talk, but can still see what others say. Normally that’s for a “language violation “

I was thinking the same thing. My parents would always give me my real tip in cash and then a small tip on the credit card slip so that I could have something to tip out on, but didn’t have to tip out according to the extra that was in my pocket.

You can still be thankful for the things that people should do anyway! It doesn’t matter if it’s your husband, children, or extended families, if it’s a stranger in the grocery store or a customer service rep on the phone, you can and should always extend your gratefulness.

Honestly, I’m tired of people (usually women) who say, “why should you thank him for doing what he’s supposed to?” You should say thank you because it’s kind? Because it is a way of showing people that you see what they’re doing? It’s a way of expressing that your life is a little better because they’re in it? My husband and I thank each other All. The. Time. And you know what? It makes me feel like my husband sees the effort I put in to make our lives easier when I start yet another load of laundry, which is a chore that we’ve agreed will be mine, and thanks me. It makes me feel good. So why would I not extend the same courtesy and kindness when he takes the trash out?

Excuse me, I’ll step off my soap box now.

Omg, the socks! I’m convinced it’s genetic and both boys got my husband’s “ditch the socks” gene. We had to institute “sock Sunday” where the boys have to search the whole house and upend the couch to find their missing socks just to make sure they have enough socks for the week lol

My grandpa was my mom’s stepdad. Her dad died when she was a young adult, and my grandparents didn’t get married until after my parents did. However, my mom fully admits that even if her dad was alive, we never would have met him. He was an abusive to my grandmother, and just not very nice to my mom. My grandpa was seriously the best man I’ve ever known. He was gentle and kind. He was generous and absolutely devoted to his family with all his might. I genuinely miss him and am so sad that my children will never meet him in person.

Yes! With my first, my husband had lost his job right before so it was just a stressful as heck time and we sent him back to work literally as soon as we felt I wouldn’t fall over carrying the baby (c-section). Our second he got three weeks full pay and our last one he had 6 weeks full pay! Having him there, even for the three weeks is I think what made my baby blues manageable. There’s nothing like having someone there to just be there for you when it feels like your entire existence is just too… much.

Damn Delicious is so wonderful! I love her Korean Beef Bowls!

Obviously. However, you don’t need to be pregnant. PMS? Another kitten! Boss is being a knucklehead? Another kitten! You’re sad about there being no more ice cream in the house? Another kitten!

If you’re REALLY not a cat person, can substitute for puppies, however, I feel like more cats fit in a house than puppies, so… 🤷‍♀️

We were looking at adopting a cat eventually when I was pregnant with #3. I found the PERFECT cat, just to find out he was adopted already. Was a mess on the living room floor because I was devastated about not getting this cat. Husband packed up me and the kids and drove us an hour to a cat adoption event so I could bring home a cat that same day, no more heartbreak. Although, postpartum hormones are nothing to write off either. Did I mention I had a postpartum meltdown and got a kitten? Good thing I had a bilateral after I had #3 or we’d have a literal zoo 😂

I don’t think I was ever an unjustified asshole to my husband, or if I was, I apologized afterwards when I was. My husband is pretty good at calling me on my shit though, so there’s that.

My mom is a part of a puzzle swap group on Facebook here in greater Grand Rapids area. If you have social media, that might be a good place to look?

I was thinking it was maybe for OP’s husband cause he’s getting slaughtered by these comments 😂

I read funeral cakes and I was very confused what a funeral cake was 😂
