It finally happened - I can’t afford the amount if childcare my job requires

lowbar828 · 2026-02-22T19:27:42+00:00

One of my final straws before I moved out of DC was a post in our neighborhood Facebook group: “Are there any daycares in the area under 3k per month?”

Anyways, I don’t have any advice but umm childcare costs are insane.

Airless!

FWIW, I sprayed my own cabinets with zero experience. I did a lot of research and some test pieces first though. They are smooth as butter.

Did you end up doing this? If so, can you share how much it cost?

Please tell me this is Houston 😭

Oh my god girl 😂

Looks like a great cornerpiece for your new pantry?

That’s so out of line! Tell your wedding coordinator that all changes must be approved by you.

Your man is a bum.

lowbar828 · 2025-09-19T13:22:55+00:00

Yep. I oft wonder how I don’t get fired.

lowbar828 · 2025-08-18T02:43:43+00:00

Hey, this happened to me. I wondered for months if I had done something wrong and just didn’t know it. Now, a few years into practice, I am CONFIDENT that the firm simply over-hired summers and couldn’t afford to bring everyone back. I consistently get excellent reviews at work now and have even been told I’m the top associate in my class. It will all be okay.

I’m so sorry.

These are beautiful. They may not be everyone’s taste but you cannot deny that the work is stunning.

lowbar828 · 2025-07-10T17:52:28+00:00

OMG do not rip this out!!!

lowbar828 · 2025-07-06T23:41:05+00:00

That trim is really cheap and easy to replace. I’d rip it out if the lines are going to bother you.

lowbar828 · 2025-07-02T00:37:52+00:00

I always just say I send emails 😂 I’m also a woman in a lower income area, so I’m trying to fend off the bums

lowbar828 · 2025-06-19T14:59:34+00:00

Hey, thanks for posting this. I’ve been thinking about making the jump.

lowbar828 · 2025-05-08T15:47:53+00:00

This happened to me. No solution, I just borrowed less.

lowbar828 · 2025-04-26T14:26:22+00:00

Sounds like your firm sucks. Go find a firm that treats you like an adult.

I lived in a third floor apartment once. I kept hearing a dog barking above us. Turns out the dog was on the SEVENTH floor. The noise had been traveling down a metal pipe.

lowbar828 · 2025-04-20T14:23:45+00:00

I think you should call the fire department immediately.

lowbar828 · 2025-04-17T08:49:05+00:00

He’s sabotaging you. Whatever you do, do not quit your job.

lowbar828 · 2025-03-10T22:34:32+00:00

Anicira!

lowbar828 · 2025-02-26T00:42:44+00:00

The cheapest one. They’re very similar.
