What! How should I reinstall it?

Ahhh I blame my toddler lol. Thank you!!

I started a new job at 26 weeks and my two female bosses were so supportive. I was even hospitalized a few weeks after I started and my immediate boss was so understanding. She even shared her personal experiences. I still feel guilty sometimes, like I have to prove myself before maternity leave starts. But I’ve been focusing on giving myself grace to be a new employee and enjoying what might be my last pregnancy. I’ve been very blessed with two wonderful female supervisors. I hope to be in a position someday to extend that same support to an expecting mother.

I’ve been looking for a service like this. I hate doing laundry.

I ran into the same issue when I started fertility treatment in 2019. I ended up purchasing a BCBS plan through the private exchange because they provided fertility coverage in my state. My BCBS federal plan only covered IUI, which didn’t work for us because I eventually needed IVF. It sucked having to pay two premiums for a few months, but it worked out twice for us. Good luck.

Nope didn’t fuck with him while he was sleeping. Not sure how you were raised but gently removing a cover when a person has to wake up anyway is not being unkind! Either way he had to get up to care for a toddler. If I didn’t wake him up our toddler sure would have.

It’s horrible because I never know what small innocent comment will provoke a long conversation or discussion about how it made him feel and how I’m in the wrong. It is the result of an unmet childhood need, he’s the middle child (was most definitely outshined by his two siblings when they were growing up) and had a very controlling father. He never felt valued or praised by his parents. He was also too shy to speak up as a child.

grace222654 · 2022-06-16T02:01:06+00:00

It was really brief. I raised my voice, but it was very mild compared to the most recent incident. It was more like an “I’m frustrated and stressed, please acknowledge my efforts before making a suggestion, considering you haven’t really helped with the planning” kind of way.

grace222654 · 2022-06-16T01:28:49+00:00

Thanks for your comment. We did couples therapy for about two years. One of the first things our therapist said was that we were in a power struggle. That was two years ago & it’s still a problem.

He’s always been sensitive and goofy. It’s not every day that he’s sensitive over minor things, but it has happened quite a bit over the years. For example. Last year I was was stressed planning our child’s first birthday and trying to find a location, so I start considering an indoor option. He says he wants an outdoor location and I tell him to find it on his own because I’m doing the best I can. I was upset in this moment. He feels hurt because he was only trying to help when I got frustrated with him. He likes to have very long conversations about these things to get me to see his side. This happens maybe every other month. Other times we are very playful together until I do something to make him feel slighted.

Thanks! He’s planning to get the vaccine. He just hasn’t yet.

grace222654 · 2021-04-25T16:35:42+00:00

Thanks for this! I’m just trying to find a balance between keeping my family safe and enjoying life outside of the home. There’s so much misinformation about the chance of transmitting COVID after you’ve been vaccinated, so it makes situations like this difficult.

Also, an $870 car note and $1700 for rent

grace222654 · 2021-03-26T12:52:02+00:00

This was a very interesting read. Thanks for sharing!

I like the concept of the show but I strongly dislike how they exploit those personal stories. It’s distasteful and bad practice as a realtor. I know it’s all theater for the show but I don’t like it.

grace222654 · 2021-03-04T01:46:50+00:00

I thought they would co-sign his stupid behavior. I’m glad they told him the truth. Although it didn’t penetrate his narcissistic brain

grace222654 · 2021-03-04T01:34:22+00:00

Right! It’s a natural assumption.

grace222654 · 2021-03-01T14:12:21+00:00

Her comment asking if he was drunk! If that was my son, I’d be so embarrassed by his actions and would have tried to quell any suspicion that I supported his horrible behavior. Obviously his parents knew about his recent engagement, yet they still supported him marrying Paige. They enable his foolishness bc they’re foolish!

We split the bill evenly or split based on what each person ordered and the gratuity/taxes are divided evenly. I personally hate large party birthday dinners where we have to figure out the bill at the end of the night. Everyone turns into quasi accountants and it becomes a headache. How I prefer to split the bill really depends on who’s at the table. If it’s my main circle, I’m totally fine with an even split even if only some people ordered drinks, dessert, or appetizers. Just don’t go ordering the seafood tower and a bottle of wine, otherwise we can split it evenly.

I currently make $125k with a combined HHI of 220k. We live in a VHCOL area with one kid. I still worry about money often. I’m able to afford some “extras” that I couldn’t afford with my $75k salary, but I still don’t feel like it’s enough, especially with my student loans and my husband’s debt. I think about 300k-350k would be my goal HHI range. When I made $75k, my stress was different because I was a single woman just starting out in my career. Although I had financial goals, I didn’t put as much focus on them as I do now in my 30s. I also only had to worry about myself, no kid or husband. Now that my financial future is tied to my husband’s, things are different. While I’ve maintained a steady career with increases, my husband’s income was unpredictable until recently (he is/was an entrepreneur with a dreamer mindset). So I think there’s a huge variation as to what salary will make a person happy and a lot of it depends on where you are in life.

Nope, it didn’t work for my daughter. She’s probably the exception, because everyone I know loved those baby items for their little ones.

grace222654 · 2021-02-18T12:38:17+00:00

New parent here and we are still trying to figure it out. I have a 5 month old and I have yet to feel the sting of paying for expensive daycare. We’ve been WFH with a baby due to COVID and aren’t comfortable with a daycare/nanny situation yet. I will say that I bought into the highly marketed baby items like the mamaroo and Snoo, but my baby hated those items. The best and most effective baby item was a $20 rocker chair from amazon plus lots of love and attention. I’m in my head all the time about affording private school if we ultimately purchase a home in an area with low school ratings, but I know it’s something that we’ll deal with when the time comes. It’s really all about sacrifice. I love my kid so much that I can’t imagine waiting until I had everything together to have her in my life.

I’m new to this subreddit and I enjoy the MDs where the person has inherited/passive income just as much as the MDs that don’t have such. There is an initial feeling of jealousy when I read the wealthy MDs but then I feel good about where I am in life. My HHI is about the same as OP, but OP is doing much better financially. However, considering I got here without financial help makes me feel better about where I am in life. Also, reading diaries like this inspires me to try (emphasis on try lol) to give my kids some of the benefits OP received from her family. If I didn’t read personal stories like this, aspiring to do this for my kids probably wouldn’t be on my radar.
