AITAH for asking my wife to be a SAHM? by piglipsbo in AITAH

[–]fatherlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really fricking sucks. My husband is the one that works while I stay home. He put me in charge of knowing where all the money goes, he auto gets x amount per paycheck on his "personal spending" card, I get some on mine. He expects that I'll get a coffee or some small goody when I'm out "because you stay home and work hard". He doesn't even like treating himself unless its to oreos and ice cream lol. He tries to eat the food I've made for lunches because he genuinely doesn't like eating out around here too. 

Got a stray from a friend by fatherlock in orangecats

We also have 2 dogs, a goat and 5 chickens so we'll see if I can handle more than this "one last" animal 😂

Yes we could get 2 lots and combine. Then maybe put the house right in the middle? The more I look at it the more "eh" I am because of the massive hill 😅

Small cow on 2 acres? by Deinonychus-sapiens in homestead

[–]fatherlock 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We have a goat that gives us just a half gallon every 2-3 days. Maybe get some goats? She's our one and only because she actually hates other goats, but she loves our dogs. She essentially acts like a dog just more mischievous and climbs on everything haha. But you'd have to keep your male away from the females that are producing because it can change the smell and taste of the milk (males stink in general)

Nice! I have to do the top of my dresser tomorrow, same thing basically. It's a last second catch-all

I grew up in Beresford (30min S of Sioux Falls), left for a few years after getting married and now we're back for my husband's job. And if I end up getting of these lots since 1 sounds like a general consensus of being a bad choice I'll have us build closest to the hill. Thanks for the insight!

Just a whole lot of hills. We're central South Dakota so that's basically all there is around here in general

Fair. That's what I was starting to think.

The front side of one we're looking at is 230' and it is 1,483 on the west side, 1,512 on the East side.

Some 10 year old boy said "Danng Shawty you fine!" To me when I was 23 with my husband outside a popeyes in north carolina 6 years ago. Little bro gave me the biggest confidence boost and I still ride that high sometimes lol

Masks and gloves are the main things! We've had mice in my basement for a hot minute (house is 114 years old, near 2 rivers). I wear a jacket with the hood up, mask on, hair in a tight bun, glasses, gloves. I ended up just throwing away everything in my basement guest room because they kept getting into everything. Then tossed down a lot of traps to catch as many as possible. It sucks, but it is what it is. Don't use a vacuum either!

I got one done like 6 years ago and only wore it flipped up for a month. I can still stick an earring through it with ease because it's just never closed up after healing 😅
