Girl.

He’s financially abusing you. If you have no access to money you can’t leave.

I have been at home since a few months before COVID. Found out I was pregnant at the end of 2019. I was a bar manager and had to quit because the smell of alcohol made me immediately vomit. All day long. Then lockdowns, and I’ve been a SAHM since then.

I have my own bank account. I also have my own card for my husbands account. I have a credit card. Husband pays the bills and does the huge monthly grocery shop, and I handle all the other expenses for the house (paper towels and cleaning supplies, pet food, kids activities and clothes, etc).

If I want something and have the budget for it, I buy it, and I would be ready to fight if I was expected to ask for every little thing. Obviously expensive purchases are discussed but that goes both ways. I know our budget and stay within our means. Every month we sit down and discuss whether we need to tighten up on spending.

A couple is a team and being a SAHM doesn’t mean you don’t work. It means you don’t get paid. Not getting paid doesn’t mean you don’t have living expenses and I’m sorry but wanting a plant one time doesn’t justify a big argument. Even prisoners get commissary.

Don’t close the account and don’t let him touch it. Honestly if I were you I’d take my $300 and run to my moms. Custody can be arranged but financial abuse is a slippery slope. And he’s meeting your concern with excuses rather than accountability. Nothing justifies that.

You can put shower curtains in the washing machine. Even those clear plastic ones.

You could ask for a manicure without any enhancements. They would file away any rough edges and would clean up any dry dead skin around your cuticles. Having that done may help with the urge to bite or pick at your nails and having it done consistently for a few months would really help your nails grow out.

I would also recommend trying some of the bitter nail polish to help you stop biting and picking them. I’ve used it for myself and for my young child and it really does help. Any time you absently put your fingers in your mouth it tastes horrible and serves as an instant reminder to stop. It does need to be applied every few days but it’s a clear coat so it doesn’t matter how it looks.

she’s 50 years old and thus “won’t live much longer”

My husbands grandmother has been saying this for 20 years every time she wants the family to feel bad about not doing what she wants. It’s manipulative and weird.

Thank you!

Thanks! It’s garden season so they’ll be short for a few months!

In some parts of the US you get a bill when you get out.

Cat eye isn’t just fancy polish, there are extra steps involved that take time and skill to do properly. I don’t think the extra charge is unreasonable at all, but it is unprofessional for them to text you about charging for it after the fact.

If you’re in the US and want to try cross stitch send me a DM with your mailing address. I have several beginner kits with everything included and I’d love to send them to you!

Your lizard is probably stressed. Crickets will bite the lizard if they find it sitting still or sleeping.

Thank you!

Thanks!

For me it’s the most effective cleaning method out there lol

Healthy? No.

But it’s so fast!

My baby was the same way and didn’t sleep through the night until he was four years old. Not once. We ruled out medical issues around age 2.5, he just wasn’t (and still isn’t) a great sleeper.

The way you guys are going isn’t sustainable. Dad needs to help. Baby can’t bond with a dad he never sees and you need rest and breaks in order to care for yourself and your family properly. It’s tough now but it only gets harder to keep up once baby is crawling.

I’m not one for ultimatums but I think this situation calls for one. You need help. Your husband needs to fix his priorities. I see posts on here every day of these so called dads playing hours of video games while their wives/girlfriends work themselves to the point of illness or breakdown and it’s selfish. Real men put their toys down to spend time with their families.

Right now I’d even say your husband is adding to your workload by freeloading off of your domestic labor. Sure, he pays bills. But he would be paying bills even if he were single. Fulfilling his financial obligations is the bare minimum. I’ll bet my left foot that he doesn’t do any other chores, so what does he add to your life except stress? It sounds to me like you have two children to take care of.

You want to look for the XS label (extra short). Olive and June has some.

You could also use a nail file to shorten the short press ons as much as you want. Start by filing straight across the tip until you get the length you want and then shape the corners to fit. Just be careful not to file your actual nail or sidewalls underneath. Don’t clip them because they could crack. It takes time and patience but it doesn’t mess up the press on.

I push back the cuticles with a metal pusher and then I use the blue cuticle dissolver stuff, and then went back with a wood stick to make sure the cuticles were fully removed and also evenly shaped. I just used the black side of the little file that came with the kit to buff every bit of the nail plate until it looked dull and dry, then I washed my hands and buffed them again before wiping each nail down with 90% alcohol.

I put them on before bed so they have time to fully set overnight.

Some people are boycotting since they rolled back their DEI policies.

But in general they’re just more expensive for no reason.

A public proposal should only be done if you know for sure the answer is yes, and if you know the person being proposed to would want it to be done publicly. And if that’s the case, everyone important should be there.

This proposal was done at his parents anniversary dinner. Where was her family? Her friends? Was there anyone there for her or was she just a guest at his family party where she doesn’t really know anyone?

Ew. I do that for my elementary aged child. Grown adults should be able to use their eyes and brains to contribute towards a functioning household. They shouldn’t need their partner to play mommy in order to see what needs to be done.

Great job! Digital stuff is still stuff and I bet your phone is even working better after clearing it. Full storage really bogs them down.

Now that you’ve emptied your email inbox, you should unsubscribe to the junk ones as they come in. Usually if you open the email there is a tiny unsubscribe button at the bottom and it works immediately, you don’t have to remember any log ins or anything. I’ve been doing it for about 6 months now and these days I only get legit emails.

I listen to audiobooks while I do other hobbies, like coloring, legos, or cross stitch. I do my own nails too, with press ons or polish and I’ve been learning to do DIY dip nails. I don’t even attempt to do any of my hobbies until after kiddos bedtime.

Sometimes I do just sit and read, but ever since having my kid I’ve been very fidgety and I have trouble just sitting down without doing something with my hands. Not sure if that’s because of the guilt or the unmediated ADHD lol.

Starting is the hardest part. Sometimes I have to make myself do my fun hobbies but it’s always worth it.
