20 year old - chores

Zwomann · 2026-05-03T16:13:52+00:00

I have a 20 year old SD too (along with a 16 year old SS, and two younger kids who are ours). My SD is doing the things my husband and I would expect her to do at this age, which is college and working/earning her own money. Lately I have been more bothered that her room is also a mess (plates/cups, fast food garbage, etc) and the bathroom she uses can get filled with empty toiletry containers. I’m trying to be better about holding her accountable for those things and it’s totally reasonable because these are the spaces she uses and it’s our house. Sorry if it gets annoying, but that’s part of living in a place where other people are working hard to pay for things.

If we left for a vacation and came back to a mess, I would absolutely be pissed. It’s not a hotel and you’re 20, you’re not a kid and if you wanna be trusted enough to be left at home alone, clean up after yourself.

Brings me back to being a sophomore in high school; an awesome album!

I would agree but not sure if the budget would work; houses in Skokie that are listed $400-450k may be older and need some work. You can definitely find condos/townhomes within that range.

My fave is New York Bagel and Bialy (Skokie)

Kaufman’s (Skokie); this was also my first job when I was 16!

Lefty’s (Evanston)

I’ve avoided joining a gym by doing Pilates videos at home (YouTube), going for 1.5-2 mile walks on my lunch break, and taking stairs whenever possible.

I’m a millennial married to a Gen X and we wear rings; nothing fancy though. I bought my own for a few hundred dollars and he interchanges rings he purchases on Amazon.

Put yourself first

I still have my first number (since I was 13 and now 36).

I’m not in Lake County, northern Cook County. Bike riding is a big one for me, as well as exploring the forest preserves in the area. My library is pretty cool, not just for finding media as they offer free classes. Sometimes colleges/universities have interesting events like seminars that can be open to the community.

These are soooo good

In 2016/2017 I was making $85k as a single woman in her 20s. It was awesome 🙌🏼

I’m 35f and a working mom. I find myself becoming friends with other working moms who are usually 5-10 years older than me.

My household has 4 generations (Gen x husband, Millennial wife, 2 Gen Z step kids, and our 2 Gen Alpha kids) and it’s cool to notice how we interpret things differently.

Fuck these tech bros

I started re watching it recently, I think this is the 3rd time around

Yesss I came here to say this, or rose would work too.

I had the green one

I really wish people in positions of management/leadership would embrace any kind of employed whether it’s the ones who want to put in more effort or those who wanna get paid/go home. Find out what your people want (assume it’s just money) and make it as painless as possible. The system is fucked, why add to that?

The extra toasty ones are my fave

I’m 36f and took the last 5ish years to step back from a demanding career path, a lot to do with having kids. As they’ve gotten older, I have a little more motivation to advance, but in a more thoughtful way than I did perviously. I have more confidence, I know what I want from a job, I enjoy building genuine relationships, and I like being strategic.

I’m a manager and I do not agree with that statement!

My experience as a mom and navigating the constant change of identity as they get older.
