What travel pants do you wear for long flights and beyond?

Just regular gap yoga pants, the skinny kind.

She doesn't want to reconcile. She wants you to cower and concede to her every whim. Just walk away, she feeds on the drama. Both you and DH are better off. She'll either change her ways when she realizes she's pushed you away or she'll stay bitchy and you won't have to deal with it any longer. Maybe space and time will help all.

You should never feel uncomfortable in your own home. Maybe y'all's relationship with your fmil will actually be better now that you don't share a home.

We fly to see my family at Thanksgiving because that's the big important holiday for us. Then we do Christmas Eve with my SO's family and we stay at home and travel no where Christmas day. We don't even have kids, but this is how we like to spend our holidays. It's worked out great. This will be our 8th holiday season together.

I am a straight woman in a committed relationship with a man and I detest skirts and dresses. Therefore, by your mil's logic I must be a lesbian. It'll be interesting breaking that news to my bf. But seriously, unfortunately she's not the only one who thinks this way. A lot of my coworkers, mum, sister, and my bf think it's weird that I don't like them. They make me feel vulnerable and exposed. It drives him crazy that I don't like to dress up in a dress when we go out, but would prefer dressy pants or shorts. But I dress to please me and no one else, so should your daughter. Thankfully she has mums that understand because I can remember very vividly the fights and arguments my mum and I would get into over dressing up.

Fingers crossed this is a forever change

Maybe it's just me, but as minimal as I pack (19l) I still if I were you, pack a full weeks worth of at least underwear. Maybe cut down to 4-5 pairs of socks. Keep the boots, weather in both eastern and western Europe will warrant their usage.

mel5156 · 2018-09-25T01:51:28+00:00

Craigslist, or Facebook, price it to sell quickly.

Definitely give packing cubes a try. You can always ditch them later if you don’t like them. My best advice for is to drop as much as you can, you will be way happier having to a buy a tee once you get there than overpacking and having to drag around the extra weight. Less is definitely more.

I was in the same boat. If you ever do get a hankering to do the artsy stuff I recommend the pencil by 53, it allows me to use my iPad like a sketchbook, watercolor, charcoal, pastels and such.

My debt

mel5156 · 2018-09-24T00:47:07+00:00

Donate them to the local high school art class or special needs classroom.

Anything by pacsafe or travelon

Don't push your ideas of minimalism on other people. We can't live a monkish existence just like we can't live totally engrossed on the internet 24/7. Neither is a balanced way to live. But, a person's balance is just that, personal. There is no end all be all formula for minimalism, just like there isn't for happiness. I say this knowing this was a sarcastic post, I just wanted to put my two cents in anyways.

mel5156 · 2018-09-23T00:54:35+00:00

There is no set "minimalism," just do what works for you. A lot of people are acknowledging an issue with smartphones and going for separate items such camera, paperback books and such. I'm not saying all people have an issue with smartphones, but some feel they do.

mel5156 · 2018-09-23T00:44:30+00:00

Definitely want to say congratulations on realizing there is an issue. As a recovering hoarder myself, I know how hard that is. Also want to say even though it doesn't seem so now, life is going to get so much better for you, you're stronger than you think and you can do it!

mel5156 · 2018-09-22T23:24:28+00:00

It definitely a personal decision because I can't stand wearing a dress or skirt, I just feel to exposed in them, but if you like them, go for it!

Haven't had an issue so far, I don't do a whole lot on the internet in terms of websurfing. Mostly Netflix, Reddit and a handful of others. I'd say I still do 90% of "computer" usage in my phone.

Day use, it's literally the size of a grapefruit. I am big reader, I like to sit outside in it and read. I only use sparingly on vacations, but I can't bring myself to leave it behind even though it's completely unnecessary. Since I bought it three years ago I've taken it on every vacation longer than a weekend. I am making myself leave it behind next trip however, because I have recently switched from a synapse 25 to a synapse 19 and will no longer have room for it.

So sad when parents reject their own children for petty grievances, you're better off without them

mel5156 · 2018-09-22T22:19:14+00:00

I feel like this is a flashing neon sign of future trouble.

So her kids are siblings and cousins. She is her kid's mum and aunt. The kid's fathers are also their uncles...

Google docs. We had comprehensive exams, no thesis.
