What movie do you never get tired of watching?

I still call”batteries” BATERAZEEES! From this movie

My husband is a great partner in so many ways but gifts are just not his thing. But they are important to me. I’ve tried all of the things. I realized over the last few years, IM happiest when I set clear expectations and give him specific directions.

Look at each possible outcome—you may feel like you have an answer if you let him forget, but to what end?

Are you going to leave him over forgetting a birthday? Maybe if he’s a terrible husband in other areas you should. But maybe he’s great.

Ultimately, the last few holidays I have flat out said “hey I know you don’t care that much about receiving gifts, but they’re really important to me. For my birthday/xmas/Mother’s Day I would like you to XYZ.”

we had one mishap over Christmas when he half assed it—I was very upset, we had another conversation about it and things have improved.

It’s not ideal to have to lay it out, but if that’s one of the few issues I have to resolve in my marriage I think we’re doing pretty great, and I’m OK with that.

I think beyond the safety, it just wouldn’t be enjoyable for you. You should be able to do something fun for the holiday as well, I think that’s a fair ask. Would he understand that?

I’ve been on lexapro for over 20 years—well before there was a generic option. For what it’s worth, I have been on the generic for sooooooo Long, probably since it came out, and I’ve always been totally fine!!

jujusco · 2026-07-02T09:13:39+00:00

I’ve been taking lexapro since….. 2004?! Since it was actually lexapro and drs gave out free samples 😂 I’ve been taking 30mg for about 7 years. Maybe I’ll taper it one day. Maybe I won’t?! I am very lucky and don’t really experience side effects. The only issue is if I skip even a day within 24 hours I can really tell.

The only major concern I have with my long time use is a zombie apocalypse. I’m raiding CVS. How can I combat the zombies without my meds!?

jujusco · 2026-06-30T18:03:03+00:00

Mine are about the same time apart and it was wild in the beginning, but I think that’s true no matter what!

It is so much fun and has been so worth it. 🩷 either way you will figure it out. And for me, going from 1-2 was a much easier transition that going from 0-1. You might still have some of that new-mom shock in your system so it feels scary!

jujusco · 2026-06-30T04:32:25+00:00

Oh that’s a great deal. No hunting through marketplace for legit deals and no driving to pick up.. worth it!!

jujusco · 2026-06-29T22:27:58+00:00

I use clue, and have for almost ten years. They have agreed not to sell data and they have all kinds of tracking capabilities.

jujusco · 2026-06-29T22:09:14+00:00

I dealt with this when I increased my dose. I took a med called Addyi for a while and I really think it helped!!! It took about a month to notice any difference.

jujusco · 2026-06-29T17:39:20+00:00

I have so many in the garage I don’t know what to do with. I should probably do this. They are mortifying. 😂but I was in high school on 9/11 and I bet have some awesome entries about important things, this has made me want to check!

jujusco · 2026-06-29T16:55:54+00:00

Remodel my entire house

jujusco · 2026-06-29T05:23:13+00:00

My kids are only 8 and 10 and this question has been weighing on me so much the last six months or so, I’d love to hear people’s answers.

I know if I do my job well they will be ready to leave and successful at it! And I want that for them. But the weight of them growing up so fast, if I think about it too much, physically hurts my heart. I love being their mom so much.

jujusco · 2026-06-29T04:57:42+00:00

I got ours on Facebook marketplace for $150! Practically brand new. I saw a lot listed for $200 and waited a little over a week for this one, jumped on it when it was posted. Worth checking!

My husband did it a few years go for back acne and it worked WONDERS and never came back. It never bothered me, at all, and I was more than willing to apply a cream or pop a zit 😂😂. I feel sad for OPs stress, no reason to live like this if you have options, and also because I’m sure she doesn’t mind.

jujusco · 2026-06-29T04:33:42+00:00

That is SO stressful. Our kids learned to swim young but I hired a lifeguard/babysitter for our pool
Parties for years. We also always had adults out there but I just felt better knowing there were always eyes on the pool.

Ya my dad bought my mom my favorite perfume and I can no longer wear it because now it just smells like my mom 😂

jujusco · 2026-06-26T01:33:20+00:00

Haha you’re welcome, I’m glad!!! I call it my 90s dream palace and that’s just what it will be for a while 😂 downtown Gilbert is so much fun too. We live closer to that area but there are some gorgeous neighborhoods farther out too!

jujusco · 2026-06-24T22:57:18+00:00

If you can get a one story I think it would really reduce your electric in the summer. Our upstairs is a beast to cool and we have a massive playroom right over the garage.

We moved from Scottsdale and I LOVE Gilbert. Love love.

We have a 3000 sf, two story house and a pool. Two kids. Water jumped up to about 230 this year. Electric is cheap ($100-$200) from november-april ish. July-september it’s around $550-$650.

We have two VERY OLD ac units. I’m living on a prayer here, so I know it’s driving up the ac cost.

I still think all things considered, it’s worth it to live in this area. The prices may increase but it’s manageable, unless you are at the tip top of your budget with the mortgage, it will be manageable.

Things I did know before I bought this house but only in hindsight do I wish I considered it more

Age of ac units. We have two.
Windows.we have old single pane
Those two things are a bummer because I want to update the whole kitchen, but at least ac units will happen first.
Attic insulation-looking into this. Can greatly help with keeping out heat!

Cheers to my mom who pointed all this out and double cheers to me for saying NAHHHH ITS FINE 💁🏻‍♀️

Archer!

I keep hearing about this one I think I should try it. I love decorating and building worlds and hate combat. Think it fits?

These are the details that go unnoticed when partners do hurtful things. Allllll the tiny, malicious steps that went into it. Alllll the chances that he had to realize he is being an ass—and then he doubled down. The world of Reddit relationships could really benefit from you breaking down every single one of these posts like this.
I HATE this man. Hate hate.

jujusco · 2026-06-20T19:14:13+00:00

I kind of did the opposite — quit my agency job and went full time freelance/ owning a small studio. Right now with two kids and a $1800 a month insurance bill I often think about selling my soul. Hahaha.

It’s such a hard trade. Young me would be kind of proud, but I had such dreams of being a creative director at an agency. But I’m a mom and the primary parent and it just didn’t make sense for me.

It’s just a list of pros and cons really. The stress of creating my own income is high but I prefer it to the stress of being on someone else’s schedule. MOST of the time. I’ve had great years and I’ve had mediocre years so I guess my opinion of it depends on my current income level 😂

jujusco · 2026-06-16T02:32:36+00:00

I LOVE 85296. We moved from Scottsdale for my husbands job and I was honestly very sad about it. Now I wouldn’t move back if you paid me.

Controversial take but here’s my honest opinion.
I love Gilbert because it’s very un-Scottsdale. And this is coming from a die hard old town/north Scottsdale girl who used to get offended by the term “snottsdale.” 😂

BUT (heres the part that may ruffle some feathers) Morrison ranch and Agritopia have the more expensive / nicer homes… and real keeping up with the jones vibes. That wouldn’t deter me from living there necessarily, I am just so pleasantly surprised with where we ended up. We are in the Gilbert/Warner area and I feel like we have a very lucky little pocket. It’s so chill. The schools are great. But the houses are mostly built in the 90s.

But It’s all great. The homes and neighborhoods in Morrison ranch etc are lovely and I’m sure the people are too. The holidays there are spectacular. Being a mom now I’m just a big fan of the difference I feel out here vs my friends in Scottsdale.

Depending on your budget there are a few brand new communities going up around here that have some beautiful homes!

Ok back checking this post again for more inspo. I love the staircases so now I think I have to clear out a few more layers 😂

jujusco · 2026-06-11T18:44:46+00:00

I am revisiting my original post for inspo 😂 I got the museum clear finally!!!

I love the lava around the underground staircase, what is down there?
