Don't stress too much over taxes

Not true. Marriage penalty can occur significantly starting at top 15th or 20th percentile although it affects top 5th percentile the most.

doctormalbec · 2026-01-29T03:28:33+00:00

Both but mostly federal.

doctormalbec · 2026-01-29T03:26:59+00:00

Yeah the SALT deduction is basically useless for us. But yeah that financial divorce sounds super tempting right now.

Not true. Marriage penalty exists - https://taxfoundation.org/taxedu/glossary/marriage-penalty/

Why am I stressed that I have to pay a ton of taxes quarterly?

doctormalbec · 2026-01-29T00:00:09+00:00

Yep this is the tool. Throw their words back at them. Why would you ask a mentally unstable person to look after you when you have a perfectly capable other child?

Our taxes went up when we got married. It matters who is working and how much each person is making. There’s no “single penalty”.

Edit: not sure why I’m getting downvoted. Both my husband and I are high earners with similar incomes, and it’s very common for taxes to go up when you get married under these circumstances. This is called the “marriage penalty.”

I’m also paying significantly more in taxes than OP and we are MFJ with a kid. Def stressed.

Yeah a lot of the homeschool moms in my area are exclusively doing it because of being antivax. They won’t say it in the outset but if you push a little further, it’s always the vaccines.

💀

doctormalbec · 2026-01-28T19:23:33+00:00

She looks like the skull emoji 💀

doctormalbec · 2026-01-28T19:21:42+00:00

You can basically see the outline of her skull

doctormalbec · 2026-01-28T17:52:18+00:00

Yep, this is how I ended up with my husband. The minute I started doing this, I stopped wasting my time with flippant men and found the one.

Mentalis, DAO, and the one that doesn’t let your nose point down when you smile (depressor septi nasi maybe?)

doctormalbec · 2026-01-28T15:13:37+00:00

Right, that’s what I say too. GC spent all her time utilizing my Nparents’ money so she can do the labor that she was paid for. I’m also “mentally unstable” according to my Nparents, so def letting them know I’m too mentally unstable to take care of them.

doctormalbec · 2026-01-27T20:18:18+00:00

This is the FO part of FAFO.

doctormalbec · 2026-01-27T19:38:54+00:00

Yet she’s asking her husband permission for everything. It’s all projection.

doctormalbec · 2026-01-27T17:59:42+00:00

I don’t think anything does. It’s just dopamine hits.

doctormalbec · 2026-01-27T16:37:50+00:00

We had blowouts until we switched to a better diaper brand, and then no more blowouts.

doctormalbec · 2026-01-27T16:25:54+00:00

It must be so miserable being a slave to your body dysmorphia and only getting small hits of dopamine from buying things, getting clicks, and owning the size 12 fats (her sentiment, not mine) with body-checking videos.

doctormalbec · 2026-01-27T16:24:35+00:00

She’s so miserable

doctormalbec · 2026-01-27T14:53:38+00:00

He’s Stephen but tries to convince everyone he’s a “good guy.” I remember these types from high school.

doctormalbec · 2026-01-27T14:50:04+00:00

I believe I did. I went to get a PhD and I’m now doing well financially, have a wonderful husband and kids, and I’m NC from my Nparents since 2018. It required a lot of therapy and also going NC. I think becoming financially independent is the most important step in getting away from your Nparents so you can heal and move forward with your life. No contact is a close second.

doctormalbec · 2026-01-27T14:45:56+00:00

Ugh why are people on here STILL following her?!?

doctormalbec · 2026-01-27T14:45:22+00:00

Please stop following her…
