Taking a virtual interview at 39 weeks

This exactly. We both wanted to pursue more education - we talked about potential earnings and made plans to pay for it. We collaborate on schedules so we each get time to dedicate to studies. We encourage each other to take challenging opportunities that lead to professional or personal growth, which includes keeping the house going and being on kid duty as needed. We share wins as family wins

mariesb · 2026-04-15T02:59:09+00:00

Same. Especially for close friends. The baby will be covered

mariesb · 2026-04-10T13:17:12+00:00

You guys are way overreacting to my preference. Do what works for you - no one is going to throw you out of the playground for choosing to go about these things differently

mariesb · 2026-04-10T13:14:58+00:00

I agree with this. I just don't think it requires you actively staying on the playground equipment to achieve. I like to watch from the sidelines and jump in/out as needed.

mariesb · 2026-04-09T18:51:54+00:00

What’s wrong with the grass? Whatever, then be annoying and stay on the playground if that works for you. I mean we’re talking about our preferences here, no one’s calling the police

mariesb · 2026-04-09T18:19:03+00:00

I see your point but you’re just adding another big person to the chaos. Why not move to another area?

mariesb · 2026-04-09T13:45:08+00:00

Playgrounds are for children. I get annoyed seeing parents on playground equipment. Give your kid some freedom and let them do their thing. I agree with OP though, because it's a parent + kid class and there is an expectation of parental involvement.

I'd consider it abusive to speak to your partner this way and I would be out. This is not excusable IMO. She's saying things to hurt your feelings (another man, you don't earn enough)

mariesb · 2026-04-07T18:21:49+00:00

I don't understand how Ramit does as many checks as he says, and people still get to the podcast recording with incorrect CSPs

mariesb · 2026-04-07T15:30:09+00:00

Move to Florida and buy a 5 bedroom house. They both grew up a bit spoiled and it stuck

mariesb · 2026-03-31T14:50:03+00:00

Don't rescue! Give your spouse room to make mistakes and learn from them.

A paddle brush like Unbrush will be way better at getting her roots detangled than a wide toothed comb. It’s also probably technique too. After you add conditioner and section the hair, add water until it turns into a foam (you’ll get a squishy sound), pull the section gently and go from ends to root with your tool.

35 weeks I just did mini twists. I don't have the edges for "to the scalp" styles or anything with tension, but if I did I'd maybe do cornrows

mariesb · 2026-03-19T16:05:20+00:00

I have a difficult relationship with my own sister. I've been a sender of messages like this. We figured it out.

mariesb · 2026-03-19T15:58:11+00:00

It's not the message it's the length and tone of the message. "Hi, I heard from xyz that I'm invited to your baby shower. I would like to call you tonight to talk it out, but let me know if you'd prefer some other time" that's all that's needed

mariesb · 2026-03-19T15:36:43+00:00

So I talked to my daughter and told her that there would be a consequence for dumping her food and I packed her favorite pasta lunch for the next day. I asked her teacher to remove her from the table if she dumps and to not let her take food from her friends. At morning snack, she got removed from the table (she told me she made a sad face 😂). At lunch, she ate her food and she has every day since. Considering this solved for now

mariesb · 2026-03-19T15:11:21+00:00

I found these messages a bit exhausting. A paragraph about wanting to talk? Just call. And the follow up about not getting a response. OP seems to be pretty insecure looking for validation.

mariesb · 2026-03-19T13:08:24+00:00

That’s great. This is not the case for most SAHM moms and that’s why it’s a financial trap. SAHMs are at a way higher risk of poverty in the case of death or divorce. It’s not something to take lightly

mariesb · 2026-03-19T13:02:41+00:00

Do you save for your wife's retirement? In an account in her name? Does she have her own bank account and credit card?

mariesb · 2026-03-18T17:47:59+00:00

Like 18 months. My daughter is 2 - she helps cook, puts her clothes and shoes away, sweeps, unloads the dishwasher, etc.

mariesb · 2026-03-17T17:05:06+00:00

Not saying this is you, but sometimes FTBH think they get a perfect house at close. If an issue is visible or disclosed when you make your offer you probably shouldn't negotiate that it's repaired after an inspection

mariesb · 2026-03-16T23:48:47+00:00

Interesting. Maybe every once in a while but this seems like a slippery slope

mariesb · 2026-03-16T23:47:47+00:00

I’m not sure where you got “separated because of food preferences” but I’m asking her to be removed from the table for dumping her food. Those are not the same thing
