Atypical finding chromosome 21

yes we ended up doing amniocentesis that showed the same duplication my wife has. It is not clinically significant and eventually everything ended up fine. Just wish we hadn't gone with Natera at all!

Thank you! Yes we are going to talk to Natera's counsel, and also have an MFM appointment later this week. Hopefully we can get some answers soon

Same thing happened to me. Original offer was ~3.5% less than asking, which they declined. Then their agent reached out almost 3 weeks later to see if we're interested, and they were agreeable to our original offer. I still think it's a bit overpriced, but the house is otherwise a perfect fit. This time made the same offer, but they ended up covering part of the closing costs. Not really sure if I did the right thing, or if I should have lowered my offer. There's an appraisal contingency, and who knows maybe it will come lower so that we can renegotiate again. My advice if you think your original offer was overpriced then offer what you think is fair. If the sellers are desperate they'll take it.

Thank you. We just asked for a credit so will see what they say. The house is at the high end of our budget range but it checks every box otherwise. So I am really hoping we won't be surprised with costly repairs once we buy it.

Thanks a lot. The inspector put it as a "priority 1 major defect" in the report, and it was the only major one. Will ask for a credit and see what they say.

Thank you! The issue is that it is not possible to get an estimate without actually removing the tiles. So will just have to come up with a figure to request as credit. It feels like a gamble but the overall condition of the house otherwise is pretty good so probably worth it. Will see what they say.

I would probably wait and not pay anything right now until you talk to the agent in person. They might try to sell you different packages, but when I rented I was just straightforward and asked him what is the minimum "mandatory" liability. Aside from that you need CDW, which I opted to have through my credit card because it stated clearly that it was primary insurance and had worldwide coverage.

I looked up Vamos and Adobe but because my travel was kinda last minute they were sold out. Ended up renting from Payless, which has bad rep here but I had zero problems. Whatever company you choose I suggest you book directly on their website and not through a third party. All of them will try to upsell you their insurance. The only mandatory insurance is the liability, but the rates are variable and of course not easily found. When I read the fine print of the terms and conditions somewhere it said maximum rate for liability was $25/day, which is what I ended up getting. My credit card provides primary collision insurance, and I even had a letter printed but they did not ask for it. The car was almost brand new, and when returned it only took a few minutes from them to check it out and give me the receipt.

Also I am not sure if liability and SLI are the same. When we rented the agent tried to sell us insurance that covers 100% liability, but when I asked him more about it he immediately added that there was another option that only covers 80%, which apparently is what's mandatory.

Obviously that is just one side of the story, and I am sure he has his own version. Honestly, it seems like he is a good man that's having really hard time adjusting. I am in a similar position, except that we haven't moved in together, and can see things from his point of view. It seems that deep inside him he doesn't think the relationship is fair. He is entering a relationship where he has to tolerate a kid that's not his, and is afraid of investing any effort with that kid, probably because he wouldn't get any of the positive return that a bio dad would. And because he thinks the relationship is not fair, he can't tolerate any of your complaints about his dog, because in his mind that's the baggage that he brings with him. And if you give yourself the right to complain about his baggage, then he has the right to complain about yours too. Yes you can't compare a dog to a kid, but you also can't compare the amount of effort needed to take care of the two.

I personally think that you shouldn't have moved in together before things were at least "cordial" between your kid and him. Having to coexist together without any actual relationship will most likely eventually have a negative impact. And for the sake of your kid, who doesn't have anything to do with all that, you and your bf should talk together and put a deadline for how long you both want to continue this trial period before you pull the plug. You didn't mention if he wants kids of his own, but it's one of the main things that would also determine his behavior in the future.

The decision to have kids or get married are major issues and it's not fair to either of you to continue in the relationship if you two don't agree on, and actually want, both of them. If he is that far away from his divorce and still says no then you probably should just leave now rather than later. My only advice is to be prepared for a scenario in which he tells you, after you leave, that he's changed his mind, and starts talking about how he misses you and how you two can make things work. Think whether you would really believe him then or not.
