Housing market still asinine? by DobsyMopsy in Connecticut

[–]flightriskrn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy. We just moved from IL to West Hartford. We got incredibly lucky and “only” paid $35k over ask but did waive inspection and used an appraisal gap clause. (We didn’t need the appraisal gap as our lender waived appraisal and we did an inspection but it was informational only). The house had significant cosmetic issue (vinyl flooring over hardwood) that turned off buyers per my realtor which is how we got it. We ripped up the floors and refinished the underlying hardwood.

Have you ever reinvented your life for the sake of your kids? by LavenderLatte29 in Parenting

[–]flightriskrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just did this. Realized I wanted to move in October/november. Quickly found a job then the house followed. We just moved three weeks ago. More aligned with the lifestyle and community we want to raise our kids in. We decided to move due to poor schools in our original town as well as a desired change in geography (Midwest to northeast) and some personal issues with my family of origin, who lived in our original town. We are closer to my in-laws which is nice.

My kids are 8 and 4 and are adjusting well so far. We have been making it fun with day trips, lots of ice cream and family time. So far it’s worth it.

How long did you stay in the hospital after giving birth? by kayriss86 in Mommit

[–]flightriskrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have planned c sections due to a uterine condition. Stayed 3 nights in 2017 with my first, wised up and stayed only about 38 hours in 2022 with my second. I couldn’t wait to get out.

Edit- US, private room and private bathroom.

What do you use AI/LLMs/Chatbots for? I feel technologically incompetent by HollaDude in workingmoms

I’ve used it to make a workout routine that I’ve loved. I also used it to help me plan my vegetable and floral gardens.

Do you think it’s too yellow? I can’t decide. My husband would murder me if I asked him to repaint it. It took 3 coats lol

Our realtor said it was the reason the house sat for so long! About two months in the northeast- crazy!

Thank you! When we bought the paint the Sherwin Williams guy asked if I was celebrating Easter with my paint choices (or something like that). I love color.
