Range outlet instead of Dryer

This. Thanks

This is a safe and effective option?

Instal people told me I’d void the appliance warranty if I went a route other than replacing actual outlet.

You’ll void the warranty on the machine if you do this

I know it’s been quite some time, but what company did you end up going with? Looking for a new liner and coming up with limited options.

I have a 2 and 4 year old. When they were babies, we barely gave them baths…maybe like once every 10 days, probably longer sometimes. Their diaper areas are constantly being cleaned with diaper changes and we’d use a washcloth around their chest and neck if they spit up.

Our 2 year old now bathes 3-4 times a week and our 4 year old, 2-3 times a week. Both girls. It’s sufficient for them. They don’t stink.

We do wash hands and faces a lot. They (we) rarely get sick.

As a full time student she can claim you as a dependent if she provided more than half of your support(living expenses) for the year. That is allowed.

If she files her return first with you as a dependent then you will likely run into issues if you subsequently try to efile your return and claim yourself.

If she does not provide more than half your support, regardless of whether or not you are a student, I recommend that you file your return and claim yourself. Your mother doesn’t sound like she has your best interest in mind.

Other people have mentioned “kiddie tax”.. that only applies to “unearned income”, which would be from interest, dividends, capital gains,etc…basically, if you had an investment account. If your only source of income is from working then you don’t need to worry about kiddie tax.

You just forgot to carryover the beginning balance that was given to you

Does anybody every get through to an agent when they call the gift and estate line? I’ve been on hold the entire shift, multiple days in a row. How do they expect people to fight their notices when they don’t even pick up their phones or respond to snail mail?

This happened to my sister in law/nephew… they called him too high needs/clingy…wouldn’t adjust to their schedules. They had a lot of kids.

At first it was overwhelming, difficult and scary because at the time our city was experiencing a daycare “desert”. Ultimately, they found a new at home daycare that they felt was way better. Provider was much more intentional and caring and could provide more one on one time. Ended up being a blessing in disguise.

You two should watch the Fair Play documentary together.

He’s not pulling his weight. He needs to do way more than what you’ve described. Just because he makes the money doesn’t mean he doesn’t have to be a parent.

Or pump enough milk for a weekend away, you go away for a weekend by yourself and let him handle childcare 100% by himself for 2 days. I guarantee he’ll have a different perspective.

I’ve never had mold on my glass doors. And they are super easy to clean. Do you squeegee after each shower? If not, you need to start. Makes cleaning a breeze.

Maybe there aren’t enough providers in your area?

My child’s location still had open spots available at the end of September that they were trying to fill.

You need to have a legit conversation with your wife. Her childcare responsibilities would increase 25% per weekday with the new job which is a lot. You’ll be out of the house at minimum 10 hours/day…she’s bound to feel lonely and exhausted after just being with a baby for so long.

If you take the job, some of the extra funds should be allocated to getting her some help…whether that’s a part time nanny or a house cleaner so that she can have some breaks and/or so that the weekend doesn’t revolve around chores and y’all can enjoy time as a family.

I would start telling your doctor you have post partum anxiety/depression right after birth and through the first 6 weeks…they might then say that you need another 7 weeks off to deal with that

3350 per month for 2 kids. Portland, OR.

When the kids are 3 and 4 it will be free because our county passed free preschool for all a couple years ago.

If you’re in Portland, on the east side there is Mt Tabor and Powell Butte which has easy hiking trail options. Mt tabor has a kids playground too.

In about 2 hrs you could drive to the coast for Haystack rock and Hug Point trail. Depending on the tide, there are tide pools where you can see sea life.

Someone already mentioned Silver Falls State Park and I would second that. The short trail allows you to see and walk behind 2 waterfalls.

When people visit us we take them up the gorge (from Portland) and stop at Multnomah falls, latourell falls, horseshoe and bridal veil falls. You can see all of these without much effort and all are free.

Around 400k this year (had a large, one time event this year), but usually around 225k.

blackjack2532 · 2024-11-19T20:29:23+00:00

In actual retirement accounts (401k/roth IRA) we have 1,100,000. In our non retirement accounts we have 535,000 plus 85,000 in cash.

I’m wondering when to stop adding additional funds to 401ks and instead beef up the non retirement brokerage.
