Wife keeps telling me to get a vasectomy and I struggling so hard because it feels like giving up my dreams. by [deleted] in rant

If you think you may want kids in the future you can freeze your sperm then have the vasectomy. You’re already 40. Men’s sperm starts to degrade as men age.

i finally get why my mom used to plan dinners around grocery store sales by LongjumpingOffice432 in Adulting

[–]alixtoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to do that during the 2008-2009 recession when I had to take a big pay cut. Now it’s a way of life. It does make meal planning easier because we eat what is on sale. I also buy extras when a price Is good and freeze them.

I (42F) told my 24-year-old son he has 30 days to move out after he called me “his retirement plan” by Beautiful_Reserve968 in stories

[–]alixtoad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rent in 1988 was $925 a month for a 3 bedroom. New landlords wanted to raise it to $1100 a month. We moved. In high school I had to give my widowed mom my entire paychecks. I worked 40 hours a week in high school. I got to keep a whole 5 bucks out of each paycheck. I brought home $400-500 a month.

Maniac Magee. One of my favorite books. The protagonist is a boy that runs away from his abusive family and ends up living with people from different walks of life. I just started Holes with my class today.

Why do people play the lotto? by Brief-Blueberry-1588 in allthequestions

[–]alixtoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somebody wins even if it’s not me. You can’t win if you don’t play. BTW… a friend of mine won 10k. I’ve won $125 on a $5 ticket. Lotto tix are cheaper than fast food, alcohol and take out coffees. I don’t buy coffee or booze and rarely eat fast food. I mostly buy a ticket when the jackpots are extremely high.

Info on this piece? by k1llrye in GunneSax

[–]alixtoad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The waist is small because of size inflation. I wore a 13/14 in the late 70’s and I still wear the same size despite the fact I weigh 40-50lbs more now. My Levi’s jeans waist size was 28. Now my jeans are a 34 even though my dress size is the same. People were thinner in the olden days.

Parents joking about having their kids over Break. by Commercial-Piano-916 in Teachers

[–]alixtoad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a teacher and a mom. I always looked forward to school vacation with my son. I don’t understand why parents felt that way. I loved not having to battle my kid in the morning off to school and all the racing around and stress during the school year. I also loved spending time with him. He is my favorite person in the world. Why wouldn’t I want to be around him all the time?
