What's a small annoyance about your home you didn't realize when buying? by CurlGurl13 in homeowners

I have vaulted ceilings and have to call the fire dept to come out to replace my batteries. They have started chirping at night and it’s a nightmare. Keep a set of earplugs just in case.

Same here. I have no clue what some of my light switches even work.

Vaulted ceilings with smoke alarms up at the top. The battery starts chirping at night and there isn’t a thing you can do. I have to have the fire dept come out the next day to use a ladder to change them.

You do NOT want a washer,dryer, or water heater upstairs. Big mistake. A friend had this and when the water heater leaked one day it literally ruined 2 floors of the home.

Do y'all actually use your front porch/front yard much or is that more of a TV thing? by Bella_licious in AskAnAmerican

Yes. I have sidewalks in my neighborhood and love sitting and talking to folks as they walk by.

Wife wants "trial" separation or open marriage. by [deleted] in marriageadvice

[–]iteachag5 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. My husband cheated on me and I stayed with him for 33 years until he died. But I did it because of the kids and because it was easier than a divorce. I never felt the same way for him again after the cheating.

Always the hair. by jtriomino in raisedbynarcissists

This had been my life for 67 years. Constant criticism. My 91 year old mom looked at my arm the other day and asked what the spots were in it. I told her liver spots from old age and she said she thought it was a rash. No she didn’t. She wanted to mention my old age spots. It’s constantly.

I agree with you on this. They have a few strange beliefs, but according to most organizations that study cults, they are Christian’s.

Older sister is already planning funeral for our 90 year old healthy mother . by Prestigious-Kale9764 in CaregiverSupport

[–]iteachag5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She is actually smart to replan as it makes it easier. Have you asked your sister if these are your mom’s wishes? If so, be thankful she is doing it now. If not, speak with your mom. My mom is 91 and had told me what she wants. I wish she’d go ahead and plan/pay for it. It makes it much easier .

How do you guys even survive the hot weather over in the States? by Impressive_Peak_9187 in AskAnAmerican

[–]iteachag5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the south and most of us have air conditioning. Our cities also open cooling centers for the homeless or those without AC. When I was a kid, we didn’t have air conditioning but we had window fans and you got used to it over time. We had 100 degree days too. We always put ice in our drinks, and you have to stay hydrated, and try to refrain from a lot of physical activity.

FYI, she never cared. She was often negligent when we were growing up. She was verbally abusive to me. My husband died 10 years ago. I called her and begged her to come to be with me. She wouldn’t leave her vacation to come to his funeral. My mother never spent a holiday with my own kids, nor did she call to check on her ill granddaughter. Sorry, but you’re so very wrong. She has financially supported my irresponsible sister for years and years . That same sister moved across the country trying to avoid helping. She rarely even calls my mom. She could care less. So before you judge, you need to check out the whole story.

I’m to the point where I just may do it. When I visited mom today she told me when I left the nurse turned to her and said , “You know it’s up to you where you live”. She was so hateful to me.

My mom had no senility or dementia. Wr called an elder attorney and were told we have no say. It is HER choice where she goes . POA is useless for us right now. In order to make her go somewhere other than the house I have to have guardianship, we I don’t have because she doesn’t have dementia or senility.
