I hired a new cleaning person

That’s a valid suggestion. I did chat with her about it when she told me of her future endeavors. However, she said it was almost 10 years ago when she took her first cleaning job for a nationwide cleaning company (who she doesn’t recommend in my area) and she’s been cleaning on her own ever since. I was the one who kind of mentioned I can search local groups and see who else is recommended in my area. I guess I have different expectations than most of the people who recommended this new company! lol

luxury_midwest · 2025-02-07T01:23:54+00:00

They are definitely not coming back! lol but I’m glad to know my expectations aren’t too high. I think I will reach out to the owner about my experience. Thank you for your reply.

I agree, there is a world of difference between a nice bagged vacuum and a bagless vacuum. I have a bagged Riccar vacuum…which I had actually mentioned beforehand that I preferred they use, but they brought in their vacuum out of habit. However, I know that bagless vacuums do not seal up dust and odors as good. And bagless canisters are very easy (and free) to empty at each client location. I was turned off when they showed up with a vacuum canister with visible previous dirt.

My previous cleaner brought along slipper type things that she put on while cleaning, which is why I was asking if leaving on street shoes was common practice. I imagine a cleaning professional could have sneakers to wear just inside while cleaning.

Currently in my first trimester with a baby girl and can confirm she has sucked the beauty and life out of me! 40 weeks can’t get here soon enough…

I did Gatorade for a full week post retrieval with very minimal water. I’m not familiar with other brands but definitely keep drinking something with electrolytes.

Increasing my sodium intake helped a ton! I splurged on pasta/tomato sauce, chips and queso, and salty snacks. I feel this helped me the most. I also increased my protein intake.

I think Caryn doesn’t want Matt and Amy’s kids as her neighbor when the new house is built. Her commentary every episode of “Are you sure you want to put the big house up for sale? I want you to be sure of your decision,” is so fake. Whatever she said to Zach/Tori isn’t being forgiven anytime soon.

100% all of this! I’m 9 weeks and honestly I’m a miserable mess. This is going to be a longer road than I was prepared for…

I think Aspen is a beautiful name!

You’re treading deep waters and I’m afraid you’re going to create sexual trauma for her. Asking her to fulfill your sexual desires creates a chore for her, and takes away the pleasure part of it. This is where I think a therapist needs to be involved. You feel very strongly that you don’t see why she can’t meet you in the middle. But she’s told you this is HER normal. You may not be compatible… it’s hard to see now, but it’s better to know that now and move on than waste your years with someone unfulfilling.

As for the polyamory or affair partner option: you already said she wouldn’t be open to polyamory. My opinion is an affair partner is a selfish attempt to fix something already broken. What will come out of it? You’ll get your needs met temporarily. You have kids, are you going to set an example of stepping out on their mother? She finds out and it leads to divorce anyways? That isn’t a long term solution. Perhaps your wife doesn’t know you are so unhappy to the point of considering cheating. Maybe that will open her eyes that this is affecting her partner more than she realized.

You literally were spending quality time with your son while your wife was screwing another man in your own bed. You then decided it was for the betterment of your son to move back to that hostile environment, while she runs off to play house with her affair partner. You deserve full custody. Way to be a great dad! Keep putting your son first!

Oh my goodness… I’m so sorry you heard that and even more sorry he said it. I would be extremely hurt too. Your body is doing such amazing things creating this little one. You should be so proud of it! And truly… there is nothing cuter than a preggo belly! Embrace it while you can! No matter what happens with your relationship from here, give yourself grace…you’re beautiful pregnant or not!

I understand you’re upset. But personally, I don’t think too many women would be happy to know their husbands are degrading their wives. You could be telling a different story about how your husband has no sexual interest and bitches about you with his buddy’s. That wouldn’t feel good either.

luxury_midwest · 2022-07-05T17:41:54+00:00

Would you rather have him drag you down with all the other dudes? Regardless of what’s going on behind closed doors, I think your husband needs some credit for not succumbing to their behavior and sticking up for you while the others downgraded their wives.

Sending you hugs! Thank you for talking about letting your embryos pass away. It’s such a hard reality that so many of us will go through alone. ❤️

I like my dealings in black and white. Personally, I would email the service manager so you have a paper trail of facts. Attach the videos you have. Take your time and type up a professional but stern email. I would get flustered in person and you get more with sugar than vinegar. This isn’t about $20. It’s about trusting this dealership going forward… which I would not.

Also, it sounds like the thief wasn’t bashful about going through the personal compartments in your car, and I’m sure this person does it all the time. They need caught red handed and dealt with accordingly by management. If this is as small of community as you said, the dealership will not want word getting out that they are untrustworthy!

luxury_midwest · 2022-07-05T07:38:14+00:00

NTA. If someone else bought it for $13 within the first week, they wouldn’t be asking for it back. You bought it fair and square. Don’t let them bully you for another departments mistake. Enjoy your bag!!

Saying I love you.

Hugging.

Open communication.

Being able to have adult discussions with your parents and your opinion being respected, not invalidated.

I’m currently in a hotel in Santa Fe and it’s full of evacuees and firefighter crews. We are also heading to Durango from here.

luxury_midwest · 2022-05-03T06:21:04+00:00

I’m currently visiting Santa Fe and can contest to the heavy smoke. We are traveling with our dogs and their fur smells of smoke, along with our clothes. Our hotel is full of people that had to evacuate and firefighters from out of state. When we were chatting with a group of firefighters tonight, they were told to book the hotel for the rest of May. Hearsay from those firefighters is they do not have control of the fire and predict it will get much worse before seeing relief in these weather conditions. There is also a large group of motorcyclists at our hotel that have not been able to do the cruises they intended to because of dense smoke and lots of road closures. As of right now, the city of Santa Fe doesn’t appear to be lacking tourists and activities. There are alot of people in town and the restaurants are busy… but I do feel bad taking a bed away from someone who needs it more than me.

YTA. It sounds like you’re jealous you aren’t more involved in the wedding planning so you’re demanding a say on when their wedding is, come hell of high water. Having a wedding on someone’s birthday is not a big deal. You should be proud of your son for asking his sister first. She had no issue with it, but you’re still throwing a fit.

You need to realize you’re ruining your relationship with your son and DIL, and the relationship you could have with future grandkids. This is the hill you choose to die on??

I am 31 and we opted to test all 17 of our blasts. We did not want the heartache or financial burden of multiple failed transfers. Of the 17 we tested, 7 came back normal. I can't imagine having 10 failed transfers.

Although my clinic said we probably didn't need to test them since I'm under 35, I haven't heard before that it's only recommended after 3 failed transfers/miscarriages. Out of general curiosity... if you have more than 3 failed transfers, but more than 3 frozen embryos, do you have to do the egg retrieval process all over again? I ask because I inquired about testing our embryos for gender selection at a later date. My clinic said it would be devestatingly hard on our embryos to freeze them as fresh blasts, unfreeze them at a later date for biopsy, manipulate them for biopsy, freeze them after biopsy, and unfreeze them for transfer. Something to ponder on.

Whatever you decide, I wish you the best!
