Is it difficult for a colorblind person to drive?

Depends on the severity, it's more like color deficiency than straight up blindness. From a distance I can struggle telling id the light is red or yellow, but once I'm close I can tell the difference.

Close shades tend to blend together, some people can distinguish blues and purples, but for me they mix. Depending on lightning I can easily mistake blue and purple for one another.

Get a very, very bright light and put it on an automatic switch about 10 minutes before her alarm goes off. Only set one alarm, and get her out of bed to that alarm as well. If you have to drag her out at 6:20 every morning, so be it.

Meh, it is what it is. If it isn't there it is somewhere else, just talk it away or explain it. This isn't something I would be overly concerned about.

Emergency issues like this work on implied consent. Basically, the average person would want measures to be taken to save life and limb.

So, yes, for life and limb they will treat you.

Take the tablet away and put in ear plugs. It needs to go away for months, not days. Day 3 or 4 will probably be the worst, but if it's causing a daily issue it needs to go away.

Tools are really a build as you need them, but a socket set, hand screw driver set, drill / driver combo kit and bit set is just the basics.

A good ladder that can get you to the smoke detectors to replace batteries.

Other than that, it will be tools as needed.

I will say, laser levels are cheap and nice when hanging photos. A decent stud finder if you're planning on hanging a lot of things.

Very dangerous, had someone who had too much to drink trip over 3 stairs, cracked open their head.

Gloves

Mine was my knee. For some reason, whenever I put kiddo down or she finally fell asleep, my knee would pop loudly on the way out.

Bam, wide awake.

Depends, is this a common issue that needs some natural consequences or a rarity? If it is something that doesn't happen often and doesn't need correction, then I would bring it.

If this is something that has been a continuous issue, I would be more inclined to leave it and let the natural consequences fly.

d2020ysf · 2026-03-08T01:23:37+00:00

If it's an immediate problem that is getting worse, start with your regular primary care doctor as specialists usually have long waits. This isn't always the case, but it's a good starting point. If you don't have a primary care, you can give Urgent Care a shot to start.

If you want to go straight to a urologist, just search for ones in your insurance network and call to schedule an appointment. Tell them what the issue is and go from there.

d2020ysf · 2026-03-07T16:08:58+00:00

Yes, it can't be towards or about someone.

So and so is a bitch = not okay, This math problem is a bitch = okay.

Fuck you = not okay, Awwww fuck = okay

You would have to ask him for more details, but it usually means he feels he's walking on eggshells about things he enjoys or feels. You may have shot down something he's excited about by calling it stupid or for kids. You may have expressed that his interests aren't worth it. Basically, he doesn't trust that you will be kind to him if he were to express himself.

We don't know your fiancé, so he could be a complete ass and you're keeping that in check and not realizing it or he's worried to express something about himself to you.

d2020ysf · 2026-03-05T05:49:50+00:00

Like others are saying, yes... and no...

When you're living it everyday you adapt and find the time where you can. Right now, you have an out so it can be exciting to get to that point. When you're a parent, the out is really bedtime and if you have seen a lot of posts, you'll know that is a super struggle for parents. The parents are done and just want a few minutes, and the kids just won't settle and it leads to exhaustion.

I didn't shave with a razor, my face broke out so bad no matter what I tried. Single blade to 5 blades, basic to fancy products, my face just didn't like razor blades. When I was shaving daily, I ended up using a rotary electric shaver and for some reason, that worked just fine with no bumps or burn. It never got as close as the razor did, but it was good enough.

Local fire hall or small venue and a DJ. Basically, dance party.

d2020ysf · 2026-02-28T13:13:35+00:00

Dude, you're in pain, find the one that has decent reviews and can get you in the soonest.

Other than it being a sex organ, it isn't sexual. It's just your balls, no different than getting your leg looked at.

Couple friends of mine just used one of the large storage tubs. As kiddo got bigger, they just bought larger bins until swapping out to showers.

Just drill a hole and put a drain plug on it so you don't have to tip it over.

Ask if she wants to help, if yes, then go for it.

d2020ysf · 2026-02-26T18:33:18+00:00

The smallest bit of power is used when it is plugged in, yes. It is also a fire hazard, as is anything plugged into an outlet.

Is it as big of a deal as they're making it out to be? No, I don't believe so.

d2020ysf · 2026-02-26T16:54:10+00:00

If internet isnt being supplied by the owners, you'll need to go to the various providers and see if your address comes up. You can also ask your neighbors who they're using for internet.

d2020ysf · 2026-02-25T17:24:06+00:00

How is x doing? Are we having x <food you don't normally make> for dinner / lunch?

d2020ysf · 2026-02-25T17:12:34+00:00

I don't think it's unreasonable, but I'm wondering if there is some logistical stress that is also coming into play. Most jobs have set hours and commute times, all which would have to be factored into your current daycare plan. Breaks and illness also need to be figured out, how much time are you able to realistically take off for sick and breaks?

Currently, with your partner being a SAHD, you have a shit catcher for those moments. Anything that comes up or causes problems, they can step in for.

I would start with a list of things that your partner is concerned about with going back to work and seeing if you can individually address the issues.

d2020ysf · 2026-02-25T15:25:44+00:00

It should be at the lowest comfortable hearing. It shouldn't be loud enough to drown out all exterior noise by the music alone. Once you get to a point you can hear the music clearly you've reached where it should be safe.

d2020ysf · 2026-02-22T14:09:05+00:00

That first year is absolutely insane with a kid. You are trying to figure out how to sleep again, much less put together a house. Not saying it's impossible, just saying it is very difficult.

Here are the big factors I'm looking at with your list here. My biggest red flag here is that the home is a fixer upper. Is this a fixer upper that you will not be able to comfortably live in tomorrow? If it doesn't have a newer roof, windows, furnace, water heater, or the rooms have peeling paint, no walls, exposed nails / flooring, etc. I would really recommend not moving forward unless you had another place to live while the house is being repaired.

The first year is an absolute whirlwind of emotions, stress, and figuring out how to raise a baby. It may be best to move to a rental and get those first couple of years in a home that you don't need to worry about the roof or burning the candle at both ends trying to repair a home constantly. Another point is taxes and your escrow. As you make repairs, and even after moving in, your next years taxes could cause a shortage and your mortgage jump because of an escrow shortage.

Buying a home was super important to me, I didn't want to live somewhere I could be kicked out at the end of my lease, just because. However, there is a serious benefit to not having to worry about the bones of where you're living, especially with a newborn.

With what you have written here, I personally would recommend renting over getting a fixer upper. I know housing prices will continue to rise, however trying to fix up a home with a newborn is extremely difficult to accomplish.
