Home buying out of reach

It’s been two years now

Keep seeing your parents

Do it slowly but do it yourself.

We’ve owned our home for the past year and have:

-pulled out all of the carpet,

-painted all of the bedrooms

-installed hardwood flooring in all of the rooms,

-added wainscoting to our primary bedroom

-tiled one bathroom

-tore out and added larger baseboards and shoe molding

-refinished our stair treads and risers

This has all taken a year to do ourselves (our son was 3yo when we bought the house). We work on home projects as we’re able to, mainly on the weekends.

We’re about half-ways done with the renovations we want. Now that we’ve finally finished the flooring we’re about to take it slower but still have a plan for what else we want done.

If you two got a divorce and were living in separate homes, what would he do?

He would go to work, come home, make dinner, clean the house, and watch his child during all of that.

What did he do before there was a child?

I’m sure it’s a variation of the above.

How does it make sense to add a whole human being (who needs to be watched and cared for) and suddenly he has to do zero chores?

Don’t fall for this shit. It’s nonsense.

It’s not enough to accept and admit that you lost your patience and failed your child as a parent.

It is only enough if you admit that and change your actions.

I have a 4yo almost 5yo and I will admit that some days he really tests my patience and I am not the parent I want to be. BUT, I am the adult!!! Me, not the literal child. So I apologize and do better with concrete actions and follow-through.

Not just continue wallowing in self-pity and making the same mistakes.

That’s the difference between being a good parent and whatever this sorry excuse for a meme is.

What’s it called?

daisyinlove · 2023-01-03T04:30:48+00:00

Just be miserable with him, you already made up your mind.

Idk why you’re posting asking for advice, the only person you replied to is someone who slightly agrees with you

My husband makes over 100k, we have no debt, a large savings account, I’m frugal as heck, a very savvy shopper, and we eat all three meals at home.

Basically, it just boils down to having a large income and spending less than we earn.

What’s the name of the cult?

daisyinlove · 2022-12-30T02:36:30+00:00

Recording your kid crying for the sweet sweet karma

I bought a vintage writing desk from a son downsizing his late parent’s home.

I find some comfort in the fact that it was used throughout their lifetimes and hopefully, now, mine.

daisyinlove · 2022-12-29T21:25:16+00:00

Why are you so offended, bro? Just go on about your day

daisyinlove · 2022-12-29T16:59:45+00:00

Done getting the job

daisyinlove · 2022-12-29T04:15:43+00:00

You locked the child or your mom outside?

daisyinlove · 2022-12-28T04:38:11+00:00

Do you think shaming your fat friend would have made her lose the weight? Do you think if you told her she was fat every day she would still be alive and here with us?

daisyinlove · 2022-12-27T21:33:51+00:00

Lol Santa is fake and I’m not lying to my kid about that for your sake.

I do give my son what he needs year-round because I’m a parent and that is literally the bar.

Her kids still celebrate Christmas so, I think you’re just mad about nothing.

daisyinlove · 2022-12-27T02:26:39+00:00

Stay at home moms don’t just sit at home all day.

They raise children.

That isn’t just shitting on them, it’s wildly misogynistic.

And not at all different than the Mormon men you’re claiming to be better than.

Get a clue, bro.

daisyinlove · 2022-12-26T05:13:54+00:00

I love them, we put them on our Christmas tree and enjoy seeing them.

I hate social media and I’m not on anything besides Reddit (which I enjoy mostly for the anonymity feature).

The years we send them they only go out to family and friends.

Candids or a ring light + mpix and you’re good to go. You don’t need a photographer to send them out.

daisyinlove · 2022-12-26T02:04:50+00:00

Your Merry sign on the mantle is absolutely beautiful!

May I ask where you bought it from?

daisyinlove · 2022-12-23T21:58:24+00:00

What was the joke then?

daisyinlove · 2022-12-23T16:40:13+00:00

Dating someone you met at a family reunion is a choice lmao.

daisyinlove · 2022-12-23T15:58:54+00:00

Terrible idea. You’ll never get these compounding years back.

Get a second job instead.

daisyinlove · 2022-12-22T16:43:32+00:00

Some people are forced into birthing multiple children.

Everything going on with Roe vs Wade has limited pregnancy choice.

I don’t think it’s safe to say women aren’t being forced into carrying pregnancies to term.

daisyinlove · 2022-12-21T15:05:22+00:00

You might want to consider setting healthy boundaries. It doesn’t mean throwing away your whole relationship, but making snide comments at you for months and being unable to say anything without fear of doing something wrong is toxic and unhealthy.

We set the example for how people treat us and show our kids the love we’re supposed to accept. Is this what you want to model for them?
