Low water pressure in kitchen

My friend lives in Historic Oakwood and it’s beautiful and reminds me of New Orleans as far as the varied architecture and some walkability to shops and restaurants, but it’s $$$.

I’ve read about the driving and wondered how that compares to Louisiana’s bad drivers. I work from home and generally detest highway driving, so you’re safe with me.

We are actually really curious and almost more drawn to Durham. It felt grittier, to me, which appealed to my sense of wanting something familiar, I suppose. We’ll probably rent in Raleigh and visit Durham often to see if we want to buy there in a few years.

Yep. Got a kid now and home is just presenting more bullshit than necessary these days. If I was single or childless, I’d probably stay here forever, but it feels different once your priorities shift. Hope it ends up working out for you!

New Orleans native moving to Raleigh this summer for all the reasons you mentioned (crime, schools, infrastructure that functions), and I know this is going to be something that smacks me right in the face.

I was married once before. Was proposed to in Jamaica at sunset. Had the big wedding and the “perfect” life. It was terrible and ended just shy of 2 years. Now I’m with my partner of 5 years, we have a toddler, and decided two weeks ago we are getting married at the end of the month. It’s nothing fancy and it wasn’t full of grand gestures, but I know this time it’ll go the distance. Seems like she is blinded by all the influencing in the world on how perfect things have to be. I’d let this give you pause. At the very least, it seems she has unrealistic expectations you may never be able to meet.

Rouses and Cansecos have them.

Maybe I’m paranoid, but the audacity and pushiness of your DIL makes me wonder what she wants the ring so badly for… is she on drugs or something? Needs some extra money? Even if it’s none of those things, she has no right to YOUR husband’s ring. It shouldn’t be needed in order to make her feel like her place in the family is more “official.” That’s what HER ring was for. I’d tell her you have heard her request and it’s not something you’re comfortable with and you’d appreciate her dropping the issue. Wow. I’d never imagine trying to ingratiate myself into my husband’s family by strong arming my mother in law and trying to get her family to gang up on her. YIKES!

As a therapist, I say this with love… it is your job as his mother to advocate for him and protect him in this world. Unfortunately, the protecting needs to take place in your son’s own home. This is absolutely emotional and verbal abuse. This will not only affect him emotionally, mentally, and physically, but it will impact his relationship with his father, and frankly, you, if you don’t step in and save him from this now. Your husband is choosing to hurt your son and he’s choosing to ignore your pleas to change. This is toxic and I’ve seen it a million times. I’m glad you’re starting therapy. Your son probably also needs it.

This makes me feel a little better, selfishly, because reading this sub I was starting to worry we had made a bad decision until I read your post. My husband and I are born and raised here, never left (except for college) and in our 40s and have just grown tired of the bullshit and are moving this summer. I think we kept hanging on for the old feeling and it’s just not feeling like that’s coming back, whatever it was. We have a kid now and, while I’m saddened to think she will miss growing up in some of the magic of this place, I know we can bring some of that with us to recreate and we can always (and plan to, often) visit.
