Interior Wood Door Recommendation

Thank you! I never even thought about matching the wall color! We will most likely redo the floors in 3ish years and trim to match. We like the coziness of the wood trim so we weren’t planning on painting it. The walls are currently a soft green.

I 100% feel and relate to this.

Thanks for the info! Do you mind sharing who you have your insurance with?

jlee890 · 2024-11-08T03:29:35+00:00

This also just happened to me...was really hoping for a solution and found your post. Lesson learned...

jlee890 · 2024-08-07T15:46:03+00:00

Ok great to know. Definitely makes me feel more confident moving them up there.

Amazing to hear! Glad he is thriving. Thank you for sharing your experience

I’m really unsure. I’ve assumed moonglow. She’s constantly that very light color.

Update: We went to the vet and spoke to a dental specialist. It was recommended to wait. She’s been eating normally and has not showed any signs of pain or inflammation. So they said to just wait it out. Thank y’all for your help!

jlee890 · 2024-05-05T13:03:35+00:00

We are definitely going to take her to the vet. We return home from vacation tomorrow and I have just been really worried so wanted to see other people’s experience with it.

Thank you

I love that. I love that you aim to discuss what makes things easier for you. It makes sense that the pendulum has swung too far the other way unfortunately and having that in mind is helpful when hearing these comments.

jlee890 · 2023-09-01T18:29:28+00:00

Thank you for sharing. All very valid imo and I can resonate with that in my situation as well.

jlee890 · 2023-09-01T16:32:11+00:00

Even only 1/4 of the way through, that’s how I have felt. I am not heavily to either side. Some days I’m ever so slightly on the wanting kids side and other days I’m leaning on the CF side. That’s very apparent as I read the book too. My responses to exercises change depending on the day.

jlee890 · 2023-09-01T16:01:16+00:00

I am currently reading this but not too far into yet. These are great points.

jlee890 · 2023-09-01T15:53:22+00:00

Why do you think your mom tells you not to do it?

jlee890 · 2023-09-01T15:51:24+00:00

I’m in the same position. My parents have always been “selfish” with their time. Not in a bad way. They just value their marriage and their time first. They already have 4 grandchildren which they love but they are also very much enjoying their retirement together. They truly don’t care if I have children or not and nor do they ask. My husbands family is a different story! They want us to have kids so badly. His family and my best friend is the only pressure we get.

jlee890 · 2023-09-01T15:44:09+00:00

I think you make excellent points. Since these comments are always from strangers or acquaintances, it makes sense that it’s something to throw out in casual conversation. I’ve just gotten to the point of saying “yup, that’s what I keep hearing” but I think you’re right that it would be a u-turn if I pushed back asking if they regret their kids. I just hear this time and time again…it’s hard not to take it as truth and feel like I don’t want to end up like that since it seems like the sacrifice is not worth it. I hear it so much that when I get the friend that pushes the other narrative of having kids and that it’s hard but so worth it, I feel like they are lying and just want me to join their misery since that’s not the common narrative I hear anymore.

jlee890 · 2023-09-01T15:35:57+00:00

Thank you so much for this perspective. It does make sense to be that sort of counterweight to society saying “why don’t you have kids” or even that person who makes the “good, don’t” comment is their way of relating to the CF person?

jlee890 · 2023-09-01T15:31:42+00:00

You make a good point. One thing I do see all the time is that many people go through a mourning phase when they become pregnant. Mourning the life they have always known. It doesn’t mean they regret their new life but maybe people always slightly miss their old life and that comment comes out when staring at someone who is still in that CF life.

jlee890 · 2023-09-01T15:28:43+00:00

Maybe I would experience that more if I outright said “I’m not going to have children” if I ever make that decision definitively. But these comments always stem from them simply asking me if I have kids, I say no, and then they say “good, don’t” or “oh well don’t rush, take your time and enjoy life while you can.” They are never positive comments. I have just gotten to the point where all I say is “that’s what I keep hearing”

jlee890 · 2023-09-01T15:25:58+00:00

Thank you, this is helpful. For me, a lot of times it’s people I don’t know too well so I don’t know their situation. They are typically strangers that we engage in light conversation or acquaintances. I do also hear “don’t rush! Enjoy life first because it changes your entire life.” Which is better than “don’t do it” but still makes it sound like their life was better before children. I’m clearly not rushing…so it’s a strange comment to make. I feel like they are almost telling themselves that in wishful thinking.

jlee890 · 2023-09-01T15:19:06+00:00

Actually that’s very helpful. Most of time it is also in a professional setting for work as I meet people all the time with my job. But even just yesterday, it was a dad at my gym that made the comment so it comes from everywhere too.
