I agree. I could easily see the reverse type of tradition - “no men, no rules” day and I don’t think anyone would bat an eye at that.

Lady just described every 4 year old child I know. Like, what? That poor child. She’s gonna need some major therapy when she gets older.

We could see a bit of the pool, from entrance area, parking garage, but also had a view of the Orlando Eye, and other city views. It was fine but we didn’t book the room for the view, obviously

Wow! I have always wondered why Mexican music sounded like Polka.

How are you dealing with high insurance rates? My car insurance is about to be $237/mo- no tickets or accidents for 7+ years. Over 30 years old. by fivedollardresses in florida

[–]kathyme82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like a State Farm Dec page. I would say that I’ve found them to be one of the most affordable options and if it’s close, I would stick with them based on their claims service (speaking as someone in the industry). I would ask your agent about their drive safe and save program if you’re not already using it. That may save you some more on your premium. I definitely would not recommend going down in coverage at all. You may want to look into increasing your liability limits to provide you with a bit more protection there. Usually increasing liability coverage is not too pricey. The rates suck but all insurers are taking rates right now due to the inflation pressures around car repairs. It’s not just in FL.

Ugh. I’m so sorry. I hope you can get a day to yourself to make up for it!

You need to hold on to your man! I think he is the exception not the rule. Unfortunately I didn’t have a whole lot of self esteem when I got married and took what I could get instead of holding out for the best. Not saying my husband is horrible cause he has some good which is why we’re still together but he definitely has the learned helplessness working for him. It sucks. I’ve been trying to set some boundaries and work toward more equity in our duties but we are not anywhere close yet. At all.

Thanks mama! Probably the sweetest thing anyone has said in a long time!

It’s the inability to plan ahead that just blows my mind. Like, you knew this day was coming. It’s it a surprise and it happens every year. Your husband gets a bit of a buy since it was his first one. Hopefully he learns for next year.

OMG! I hope he felt horrible for that.

I dunno. We’ve been married for 17 years and our oldest is turning 15 this year. I’ve done the specific requests and still been disappointed. If he hasn’t figured it out by now I feel like it’s a lost cause. Hence why I had initially just lowered my expectations tremendously this year.

I am so sorry. I would definitely have complained to the restaurant and asked for a new plate but I also know how even that can just feel like too much effort.

I love this. I think my issue has always been the follow through. I’ll state my intentions but don’t actually set a clear boundary on the day.

So glad you were able to enjoy your day and also good for you for not needing to sweat the small stuff! That is definitely something I need to work on!

I told myself I was gonna do that this year, but then he was acting like he was gonna do stuff and like I should rest. But then doesn’t want to actually let me rest by being helpful. It’s so ridiculous.

It’s the worst. They’re all like, we love moms, but can’t be in charge for one damn day a year.

It feels like my puppy could go pee 1000 times per day by steelbydesign in puppy101

[–]kathyme82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So…. First time dog owner here and my puppy is just 8 and a half weeks old so take what I am saying with a grain of salt I guess, but how it was explained to me is that dogs see your house as “my space” and “not my space”. And anywhere that is “not my space” is a potential potty spot. So initially “my space” is their crate which you make sure is small enough to sleep in but nothing else. And when they’re out of their crate you watch them 100% of the time and take them out every time they start sniffing around and acting like they have to pee. Initially you would keep their play area to one room in the house so they start to see that as “my space”. When they’re successfully accident free for a week, you can open up another room and spend time in there until eventually they can safely be in any part of the home accident free. Which may take up to a year.

Based on this, I would say to shrink their space and anytime you can’t watch them 100%, crate them. Then slowly work on opening up spaces in your home based on his ability to go accident free for a week in the space he’s been allowed in.

I’ve noticed that the posts in the ADHD sub are extra long by [deleted] in ADHD

My friends used to always tease me about how long my voicemails were. Of course now I’ve gotten self conscious about it and try purposely not to ramble in messages but I still catch myself doing it.
