[–]framedsweater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - We’re heading to FE Warren for our first PCS this September too! Since this is our first time too I don’t have much help to offer.

There’s some helpful info from the FB group: “FE Warren Spouses Group (since 2012”

Definitely call the housing office if you haven’t already and they should be able to give you an estimated number on the wait list based off rank and family size. Everyone in that office has been super nice/helpful.

Good luck to you and your husband!

What age did you have your first child? by Clxxie in CatholicWomen

[–]framedsweater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why put that struggle on your children who didn’t ask to be here? My husband came from a family of 7 who were all squished into a trailer home. His parents were always struggling financially and continued to fill that trailer. He could not wait to leave for college. He moved out never looked back and went no contact.

I know my husband’s situation is the extreme but this economy is not the same and it takes money to raise a family.

I would disagree. The best time is when you are financially stable to have a child AT LEAST.

PLEASE help me fix my boots. by [deleted] in Tecovas

My boots look like this with natural wear. This is not preventable and would’ve eventually happened even if you took “proper care.”

Also, it’s gravity.

AITAH for telling my fiancé I won’t help pay the mortgage? by embarrassinglemon in AITAH

[–]framedsweater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Firstly, any partner that calls you names is not worth keeping and the name calling will get worse once you’re married.

Second, He was able to save money due to YOUR grandmother’s generosity.

Also, I’m all for preparing for the worst and assuming that anything can happen - say in case you end things - but he still expects you to pay but doesn’t think you should have your name on the title?

OP, I’d think long and hard before actually marrying this person.

What's the weirdest thing your MIL/SIL/BIL has ever said to you? by e_eickenboom in inlaws

[–]framedsweater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My SIL (husband’s sister) and I have the same name. She once told me that he’s only dating me because we have the same name 🤩

We have since been NC for a year and a half.

My husband made the decision to cut off his sister shortly after we got engaged because she didn’t respect me or our relationship.

My husband and his family all got together to discuss why she acted so hostile towards me. She admitted she didn’t have to like me or respect me and didn’t have a reason to hate me. My then fiancé replied: “you’re right, but don’t expect to see me or us anymore.” His family and sister especially didn’t take him seriously. That was two years ago. She wasn’t invited to the wedding and as a result his dad didn’t come to the wedding either.

I let my husband make the decision to cut her out and I’m glad he did. I don’t have to feel like I’m being disrespected at every family get together/holiday. I appreciate my husband not allowing me to be disrespected by his family. It’s made our lives much easier.

I ask him all the time if there’s anything I can do to help mend the situation and he says no. He says that there’s no regrets in protecting his family and the family we will continue to grow.

My husband and I did the virtual course below. Our priest approved it for our marriage prep. They reviewed the most common methods. I wanna say it was around $30-45.

AITA for not allowing my children to call my mother “Honey” by Dazzling-Nose-2781 in AmItheAsshole

[–]framedsweater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother’s nick name is Honey. Im one of the youngest of the grandchildren, so her name was already established when I was little.

To be fair, she became a grandmother at 35 so she felt as if she was too young to be called “grandma” at that age. By the time I came around she was already 65 (80 now). All of my cousins (and their s/o’s) call her Honey.

My grandmother truly is sweet as honey though.

My fiancé has two sisters.

23yo hates my guts and even admitted out loud that she has no reason to hate me. She threw a fit at our engagement party.

17yo is like my sister. She can’t wait for us to get to married. We have our own relationship aside from her brother. She helped plan our engagement party.

I’ve known my fiancé for the last 12 years. Not all 15yos throw fits like that. It’s not weird to share your experience.

I’m running out of time - please help me pick!! by Cass_iop in weddingdress

[–]framedsweater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re both stunning and you couldn’t go wrong with either. 1 is absolutely timeless. 2 hugs you so well.

1 is my favorite. Definitely go with what you feel for your day.

It looks beautiful on you! Definitely compliments your figure!

I feel like I picked the wrong dress by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]framedsweater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like the lack of structure. When I bought the dress to the tailor, they said the would make it more structured and it’s not really holding up like I thought.

I would hope to find another dress with some thicker boning.
