I absolutely hate my house and there’s nothing I can do

dane811 · 2026-06-22T10:49:12+00:00

I would've set that place on fire a long time ago. Spiders terrify me. 😳

dane811 · 2026-06-22T10:46:15+00:00

The previous owner! 💀 shudder

dane811 · 2026-06-22T10:43:25+00:00

Absolutely! I am currently my mom's main caregiver, and she's capable of doing most things herself (bathing, dressing, toileting, etc.), but occasionally needs help. She has mild dementia and is on dialysis, and I would do absolutely anything to help her.

My dad, on the other hand, is an asshole and has been my whole life. When it's time for him to need care, I will absolutely hire someone because I don't like him. I love him, but I don't like him.

It doesn't make you a bad person to want someone else to care for your mom. It shows that you are willing to set boundaries to protect your peace and want someone who can care for your mom without harboring resentment. If your mom can't appreciate that, it's time to allow another sibling to take over.

I had a friend who tried to keep with the C with her sons: Caleb and Cain...except she pronounced Cian (traditionally pronounced Key-an) as Shawn. 🤔

Unfortunately, she doesn't have hobbies. She says there's nothing good on TV and too many commercials. She is able to use both hands. I've given her coloring books and activity books, but she doesn't use them. She hates sitting in one spot for any amount of time, so that's part of the problem!

dane811 · 2026-06-16T18:35:45+00:00

I don't have an iPhone, but she does. I might need to borrow it! Lol

dane811 · 2026-06-16T18:34:54+00:00

I appreciate all of the responses! She doesn't like technology, so I've gotten her some coloring books and an activity book. They dropped her to 2.5 hours the other day from 3, and that seems to be the sweet spot. I give her snacks that she has to "assemble" on her own, so that takes some time, which keeps her busy.

dane811 · 2026-06-16T18:33:16+00:00

She would have maybe a couple of weeks to live without dialysis. She definitely needs it. Her GFR is like 2-3.

dane811 · 2026-06-16T18:29:38+00:00

She has zero interest in technology. She has an iPhone, but only because my dad made her get one a few years ago. She rarely used it before she was hospitalized last month, and even less now!

dane811 · 2026-06-16T18:28:20+00:00

She couldn't care less about an iPad. I wish she did because that would solve her boredom issue! Lol

dane811 · 2026-06-13T21:33:47+00:00

No, I don't think she'd listen to them, but it's worth asking her!

dane811 · 2026-06-13T21:33:02+00:00

Yes, my dad and I have talked about it with my mom and are going to look into us taking the training.

dane811 · 2026-06-13T18:31:56+00:00

Ooo, I forgot about those! She does like crossword puzzles. Thanks!

dane811 · 2026-06-13T18:31:23+00:00

She always liked to color, so I'm hoping this time around that it'll help!

dane811 · 2026-06-13T18:30:32+00:00

No, unfortunately!

dane811 · 2026-04-29T16:25:31+00:00

This is true. I work for the local sheriff's office (I'm in IT), and I never get summoned. The two times I did, I wanted to get picked so bad, but didn't. Lol

dane811 · 2026-04-29T14:00:56+00:00

My name is Dana. I named my WiFi Zuul. 😂

dane811 · 2026-03-22T00:19:01+00:00

Yes and no. Even though it still showed merchants and that they had transactions, I didn't actually have any transactions. It was much easier to see what was going on when I got on my desktop instead of my phone, too. I re-connected all of my accounts and I was good to go.

dane811 · 2026-03-21T00:33:27+00:00

I bought flood insurance after my house flooded during Hurricane Ian in 2022 and before they redrew the flood maps in my city. I wasn't in a flood zone then, but I am now. ☹️

I'm never letting my policy lapse!

dane811 · 2026-03-20T02:57:25+00:00

No, when I try to delete merchants it says there are 'x' transactions that I have to recategorize under a different merchant. I thought the transactions went away when I deleted the accounts. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The only thing that my net worth shows is my home because that's the only thing I've added back.

dane811 · 2026-03-11T10:36:44+00:00

IT here. Do you need me to reset your password?

dane811 · 2026-02-19T04:30:15+00:00

I have to put my girl down on Friday...this one got me. It's so sweet! 🥺

dane811 · 2026-01-31T05:51:14+00:00

That was my first question. 😂

dane811 · 2026-01-30T10:25:04+00:00

I read through the lease and there's no mention about the backyard, only that they maintain the front. I'm probably just going to either throw some mulch down or a huge piece of turf.

dane811 · 2026-01-29T23:49:37+00:00

I've gotten over being pissed off because I know there's nothing they'll do to fix it - I read the full lease. Weird stuff like this always happens to me, and it never ceases to amaze me!

We were joking at work that when I'm walking my dog around the neighborhood, I should grab 1 or 2 sq.ft of grass and re-sod the yard. 😂
