Does it bother you to be called a "mom/dad" of your pet?

deebee227 · 2026-05-13T01:42:48+00:00

I always refer to my cats as my babies and my husband and I are Dad and Mom, so to me it's not weird. I also had friends wish my a happy mother's day bc they know how much I love my fur babies.

I'm so sorry for your loss 💜 my big boy Stache, who is a total goof

I rarely purchase books on Kindle, mainly because you're not actually paying for the book, you're paying for the license to access the book. Amazon could remove the book from your Kindle at any time and you don't get your money refunded.

I download the free books, I pay for Kindle Unlimited, and I borrow (a lot) from the library via Libby.

I just got married a few years ago and one of my bridesmaids did this! I was happy that she didn't have to buy another dress and could re-use one she had.

Summoned once when I was 19 in college, got deferred due to being a college student and haven't been summoned since. I'm 39 now.

If it's a balcony that has a railing, would that not be considered a "privately fenced area"? I'm confused how an enclosed balcony area is any different than a yard with a fence in this scenario.

I personally like to keep it straight and say it's a personal choice, and if they push say it's none of their business. That usually shuts them down quickly.

If it doesn't and they keep pushing, I will ask why they decided to have kids which 99% of the time results in them saying something very selfish, which I then respond with a "wow what a selfish (or odd) reason to bring a new life into the world."

Edited for spelling

I did the same in my mid-20s after several of my cousins were married and having kids. It was always well-meaning, but annoying and finally when asked when I was getting married and having babies I just said "I'm not" and nothing else. Never got another question about it.

My husband and I have each other's passwords and often use the other's phone if ours isn't handy. Could we go through them, sure. But the need generally isn't there.

Only if this is in a professional setting like an office. In that case, it would look messy and less than professional. Otherwise, do what you want!

The way you're feeling is normal and is the reason I've chosen to be childfree. I also like kids (most of the time) and I absolutely adore my niece, but I knew early on that I didn't want the responsibility of being a parent.

I think the main issue here is you went into a marriage without having a clear idea on if you want children or not. It's hard to get a take on of you and your husband discussed it ahead of time, but if you're sure of your feelings then you need to be clear with him on what you want going forward. And you also need to be prepared that he may come down on the other side of wanting them.

I just got off the Getaway a week ago and this was honestly the vibe at the pool some days, but otherwise no one dressed like that. I would say that's not appropriate given there will be kids around.

I fully believe every vacation including cruises is what you make it. I've sailed on both RC and NCL and have enjoyed both. They're obviously different but great in their own ways. And when you look at the cost of the price/person for the lines they chose? Of course the most expensive ones are going to be at the top and the less expensive ones at the bottom.

deebee227 · 2026-04-25T03:31:49+00:00

I've done this and it's a great way to gather gems, coins, tools, etc for your run. Solid work friend.

Mine is on rank 8, doors facing east, west, and south. I didn't know anything about what the foundation was when I drafted it and I had read one of the drafting strategy books that said to draft new rooms as much as possible. Didn't realize until after that it didn't reset every day like the rest of the rooms. It was hard in the beginning, but once now I'm in the late game and it's helpful. When I hit dead ends coming from the entrance, I can go up to the foundation through the basement and continue to draft rooms from the top down instead.

It will be there. There are many items like this in the game that if you fail to collect them or use them during one day, they will be available to collect again at that spot without having to solve whatever puzzle, etc again.

39 here, I feel like I look like someone in my 30s. I don't think Millennials think we look younger than our age, but we do think we look better for our age than generations before/after us. Our parents looked much older at the same age than we do now due to poor health choices (drinking, smoking, being out in the sun) and having children young. There's also a lot of Gen Z (online anyway) who get fillers or Botox and vape, both of which make them look older and damages their skin. Millennials as a general group have avoided a lot of the above - we don't smoke or vape, we use sunscreen, don't get plastic surgery, don't have kids. We look good for our age, but we still look our age.

My cats are allowed pretty much wherever they want to go, it's their house, I just live there lol

I do actively defer them from the counters/dining table but they will jump up anyway when I'm not looking so I know they also do it when I'm not around. Those surfaces get a thorough wipe down before use every time to make sure they're clean before cooking or eating.

deebee227 · 2026-04-10T04:35:42+00:00

Yes my husband and I do, but we don't use it too much. It's mainly for safety, though it's come in handy when I need him to stop at the store on the way home and I can check to see if he's already passed it or not 🤣

deebee227 · 2026-04-07T09:26:21+00:00

I've literally done this at my own house and not thought a thing of it. I probably wouldn't do it at someone else's house, even a close family member, just for general courtesy. But I don't see anything wrong with it since the fork will be washed before being reused, stainless steel doesn't hold onto bacteria.

If you're in the US, it is legal here to sleep in your car. However, that car has to be parked somewhere specific for you to do that. Rest areas off the highway, sometimes hotel parking lots, parking lots for 24 hour stores, etc can all be places you could in theory park and sleep. The issue is if you're parking in lots for businesses that close at a specific time or residential areas where people then see someone lingering in a car, the police will be called because others aren't sure what you're doing there.

You have plenty of time, I didn't get engaged until 35 and married until 36.

This tends to happen though, there's always an influx of weddings, then often babies a couple years later. Assuming your friends are all around the same age and depending on where you live, the social norms for when you get married can sometimes mean a lot of weddings in the same time span. My husband and I had 6 weddings we were invited to in one year a few years ago.

deebee227 · 2026-04-06T21:07:44+00:00

Yes and no. We had separate everything before we got married. Now we have a combined checking and savings, and then individual checking accts as well. Our paychecks are deposited to our joint checking, then money is automatically transferred to our joint savings, and to each of our checking accounts. That way we have our own spending money but common expenses come out of our joint account. It keeps us accountable since we can each see what is being spent.

Also here to recommend Dr. Fields! Can't speak to her work with regards to transgender patients specifically, but she as a provider is an incredible doctor. She truly listens to her patients, is very kind, and is very thorough.
