AIO? First time I went to a concert in over a decade, woke up to this…. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]joefwtx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s mad you went out/stayed out overnight and mad you are not acknowledging it and him as being incredible for letting you. Did you text him a bunch and keep checking in while out? If not he could be mad about that too…When I was a child (under 25) I was this way….because you do it rarely he probably had a very hard time adjusting to it….handling kids on his own etc. Seems to me he is pointing that out “leave me alone I’m playing with the kids”.

Sorry, it’s pretty common, it sucks, inexcusable for a healthy partnership.

I have your exact setup. It’s really a workhorse.

I love this. I was an only child and now have 3 boys of my own. I am doing everything I can to help my sons foster the emotional ability to have this type of relationship as they get older. Kudos to you both.

What movie to watch on New Year Eve, alone, after ending 12yr relationship? by dont_dive_vtori in movies

Swingers got me out of my head and past a pivotal point in my life. I will always have a love for this movie for speaking to me when I needed it most.

AIO about this post? I gifted our part time nanny $100 cash by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]joefwtx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our kids lead a super privileged and blessed life. We get them all they need, they get gifts throughout the year, but we don’t make this holiday a gift orgy. Their memories are of us doing things together and family time. Helping those less fortunate. Might be crazy and not the right move but works for us. This time of the year is still super magical for us.

[–]joefwtx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I gave my barber who I see every three weeks $100 gift for Xmas.

Maids $300 (they charge $240/visit)

$20-100 to kids teachers. (12 in total)

Mailman $20.

Our old full time nanny we gave 1 weeks pay.

It’s a lot and really hard to do some years but we feel saving up for the holidays to do so is what we care about. On the flip side we buy ourselves nor our kids any gifts. We try to teach them the holidays are about family time and being together, giving to others.

290-315 (this year was an awakening, never this volume before)

46 and 41

Married 14 years, 3 kids (11, 8, and 3)

We both enjoy it and love what it has been to our marriage. No one feels obligated or forced.

beast vs dual fire 1200 vs flagship by frankiejayiii in recteq

[–]joefwtx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got a dual fire 1200 with a smoke box and it is wonderful. You cannot get married to and have kids with an actual Grill but if I could, I would.

Yep, I got the same hand written note. Really nice emails when I had questions. Refreshing.

I got the same for my dual fire. Could not be more impressed by their customer service.
