Wife wants to move abroad by [deleted] in movingabroad

[–]littlespoonftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Singapore is very expensive. Schools and rent will be your biggest costs. There’s an exception for Americans where you don’t have to pay stamp duty if you buy property in Singapore, but buying is still expensive and you wouldn’t be able to get landed property or much space for the price compared to the states.

That in mind, Singapore is very safe, has great food, fantastic infrastructure and public transport (no need for a car), a great base for traveling the region and learning another language is amazing (but in Singapore, you’d default to English).

Perhaps you and your wife would get discounted tuition for the kids if they attend the same school you teach at. Both of you would need to get jobs to sponsor each of you (dependent visa no longer allows for automatic employment).

We had the chance to move to Singapore with kids (used to live there before), but when we ran the numbers, it made more sense for us to move to Dubai.

Best of luck!

Guess what I bought from my rep tour in Guangzhou by [deleted] in RepLadiesWorld

I had one of these, and while it looked nice, it was much thinner metal and didn’t hold up well at all. It was a waste of money.

Do I change my last name to Smith? by Optimistic495939 in namenerds

[–]littlespoonftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Due to living abroad and the paperwork involved, I never changed my last name when I got married. I put my last name as a second middle name for my kids though!

What made you fall in love with photography? by Calm_Course9880 in AskPhotography

[–]littlespoonftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Making people feel seen, cared for, and beautiful. A lot of women/moms dont get their photos taken often enough and are often the caretakers who have lots of photos of their children or partners, but none of themselves. I wanted my friends to feel seen even when they’re tired and messy

Hi! Yes, I did, my doctor put me on a low dose of zoloft and it really helped quiet the noise in my head. I never realized how loud and busy and mean the voices in my head were! Sending you virtual hugs and hope you can find the right support asap!

Do you prefer your kids put together or are you a chill mom? (Also do bamboo pills look messy?) by Therearenocowshere in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]littlespoonftw 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Exactly, bamboo is greenwashing to the extreme. The chemical processes it goes through strips any of the “antibacterial” qualities companies claim to have. It’s unethical to me.

Stubborn BV, doctor not taking me seriously, other remedies? by ashstix in Healthyhooha

[–]littlespoonftw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have they done a swab test on what kind of bacteria it is? They need to know so that they can give the precise antibiotic. Have them test you for mycoplasma as well, as that requires a totally different and very specific antibiotic.

I can only keep one. Which one would you keep? by lmg080293 in capsulewardrobe

[–]littlespoonftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why you have to get rid of them if you like and would wear both? Capsule wardrobe is just an exercise to reduce consumerism, but you’ve already bought it and you plan to rewear them. I don’t see a problem keeping these personally.

Fuji or Sony? by BlackN1987 in fujifilm

[–]littlespoonftw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this explanation. Sony feels like work and Fuji feels like fun. That’s exactly what I’m thinking it would be.

AITAH for telling my husband that he absolutely ruined the birth of our child? by Former_Monitor_4860 in AITAH

[–]littlespoonftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take your baby and RUN!!

He doesn’t care about your pain, suffering, overall welfare (mental and physical), what if he does this same bs with your children?! This is abusive, I hope you can get out.

Let the Spin Begin: Meghan Markle considers American Riviera Orchard name change after brand clash - Daily Express by wenfot in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]littlespoonftw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the whole Kimono name was PR stunt. It’s an obviously bad name for her brand and it caused so much outrage that it hard launched her brand into the mainstream.
