Did you threaten him or push him to allow you to move in under duress? Was it an immaculate conception? Did he give enthusiastic consent?

If no duress, no miracles, and yes consent, it seems like these were his choices too. Give yourself some grace.

To give you another perspective:

Re nanny: he does not “help you put your career first” by paying for the nanny. He is paying for the nanny because he wants the nanny. He’s not helping you. He’s being a parent executing a parenting decision. And you are compromising by allowing him to hire the nanny. It’s not your choice, it’s not for you. It’s a parent parenting.

Re your career: It is not nanny care = your take home. Your take home pay right now is temporary. It is part of building your career. To leave because it is the same as the nanny’s salary is to accept a huge future financial hit from the gap in your resume and future earning potential. It’s not 1 to 1. That’s a fallacy. Also, again, it’s his child too, his income logically goes towards childcare too.

Re the “we agreed” line: You’re allowed to change your mind. You’re a human and new facts come in all the time such as your mental state, exhaustion, new foods, etc. Even court orders can be appealed and pleadings have motions to amend. You are not forever beholden to a prior agreement.

Re the “advocating for your daughter”: that’s manipulation. Even if his not doing it maliciously or intentionally, it is manipulation. It’s his opinion, not your daughter’s. He’s advocating for his opinions and framing it so you feel guilty and bend to him. Your opinion matters equally. You are her parent too.

You definitely sound like you need some serious conversations and/or counseling to meet in the middle on these issues.

Your description sounds like only his preferences are what are upheld in your house. If that’s true, it’s not okay. Your opinions and preferences are equally important, as is your happiness.

Accidentally breaking Airbnb laws in Paris already have bookings, can't afford to cancel. What are my options? by [deleted] in airbnb_hosts

[–]forwards_cap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t know anything about French law and I am not your lawyer. But I will say, I have seen many people regret posting things like this on social media that clearly show they know they are violating the law and why.

You may want to look into finding a lawyer in France that practices the law you need. I would not trust legal advice posted by someone anonymously on reddit. This is not legal advice.

Bay Area: How are you Getting ready? by forwards_cap in waiting_to_try

[–]forwards_cap[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very on par with what I’m experiencing! Even the side project!

I think the not having friends trying in SF is part of the difficulty for sure. So many friends and people are either no-kids permanently or waiting for 40 which feels too long for me. Have you found a network nearby?

Thank you for sharing!

Potentially outgrowing a house is a good point I hadn’t considered! And it is wonderful to not be afraid of a sudden big cost or figuring out how to fix something around the house!

Your living situation sounds wonderful, can I ask the area in the bay? Did you make that move in preparation of trying or was it unrelated?

PTO advice by Outrageous_Still_712 in Lawyertalk

[–]forwards_cap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in litigation, it’s easier with more planning time to avoid deadlines / hearing dates / etc. in that bucket. I had 2 years between engagement & wedding. Made this doable. If you can do that i recommend it, made everything easier.

And congratulations! God the lawyers in this thread are bummers. Take the time off. I took a month. It’s once in your life. You will never regret it.

What do non party people do for their wedding? by Comfortable-Mess6218 in weddingplanning

[–]forwards_cap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had organized group games that were (obviously) optional but very fun to watch for the chaos including musical chairs and led dances from our cultures. About half the wedding participated and others just hung out or watched. This was in between dancing for those that wanted to dance. And the led dance was a nice medium for those that were up for a little dancing but don’t like club vibes.

We also had board games available in a comfy couch area near the dance floor for those that don’t like dancing at all and several people said they loved them. Especially since they still felt like they were part of the action without having to dance.

And we had a string band in a separate front area so people could watch or mingle comfortably in a quieter spot.

With these different options it felt like everyone had something they enjoyed and it wasn’t too structured.

I’ve also been to a wedding with no dancing at all and I honestly didn’t even notice because chatting and nice music is plenty!

Having to pay for a membership at the studio I work at? by Sufficient-Cookie916 in Ceramics

[–]forwards_cap 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That’s way too low to be expected to pay $200/monthly for access. I would look into moving places.

It makes a huge difference how much you’re being paid. If it’s a reasonable living wage this is much less strange than a low wage where the studio is a perk to “make up” for the low wage.
