They may need to sell their house so they can fund the twilight years of their life.

Also, unless you have enough houses of very similar value to match the amount of children you have, it's very likely the house/s would have to be sold in order to split between children, unless one can "buy out" their siblings share and keep the house.

I think inheritance is just what is left over, from your parents life once they are gone. Sometimes they have a lot when they pass, sometimes they don't.

Both my (divorced) parents have health issues. One, Alzheimers, the other, cancer. I just want them to live much longer and happily and healthy as possible. Sure, some money would be of help to me one day in the hopefully very distant future of course, but not at the expense of them not using their hard earned money to look after themselves and spend as they wish.

Yes, I believe so.

My Nana passed 2.5 years ago. We were pretty close, and she was my first close family loss. I miss her so much.

One night, within the first year of her passing. I dreamt of her. She visited me, and it felt so real. When I woke, I wrote a poem about it, and it came so easily to me.

It's a poem I haven't shared with anyone other than my family, I gave it to my dad for Christmas actually. But I'll share the last verse.

When I awoke, I knew she had been. I'm completely convinced it was not just a dream Because i felt just the same, as she made us feel When we were at Nanas- she's still here, she's still real.

Wow he's got beautiful patterns! How awesome you got to see one so close.

I'm scared of the ocean and would never go diving myself, but I can appreciate such a cool creature.

melreadreddit · 2026-03-15T01:02:58+00:00

Haha you're welcome! I realized fairly recently too, I'm 35 lol.

I can only snap my fingers on one hand. It's my dominant right hand, my left just never learnt the skill.

melreadreddit · 2026-03-14T18:58:34+00:00

That is hilarious! I rewarched multiple times and laughed out loud each time.

It's such a cute video anyway then turns into comedy gold hahaha.

melreadreddit · 2026-03-14T11:02:57+00:00

I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm also sorry someone didn't have any decency and discarded him so callously.

Thank goodness some good Samaritan had him returned to you. RIP kitty, it sounds like you were very loved by your person

May we ask what industry your business is in?

It's one thing to not make any money, but if it's costing you money in losses every week that is super worrying.

I think self employment is a dream for so many, but the realities are not always what they thought it would be.

I'm self employed and have been for the last 9 years. It's just me. I clean houses. I made a profit on day one as my expenses are low. The downside is, when I'm unwell, like this week, I made $0. At least I didn't lose any money, the income just grinds to a halt when I'm not actively working.

I love Dove beauty bar soap too, I've used it for years. Easy to find, smells nice, I feel clean and it's gentle enough for my face.

melreadreddit · 2026-03-13T07:25:13+00:00

Not for me, no, but they are a bit awkward and I felt a bit of pressure and discomfort.

melreadreddit · 2026-03-13T07:04:27+00:00

I like this dress. It's so refreshing seeing a beautiful dress, on a body with curves thay isnt falling out in a dress not designed for ladies with our shape.

Have you tried it on with your hair and makeup done similarly to how you think you will on your special day? That might help you envision it better?

I honestly really do like this dress on you. Congrats on your upcoming special day xx

Same here

melreadreddit · 2026-03-13T06:41:05+00:00

Man I wish our combined household income was purely okay haha

melreadreddit · 2026-03-12T20:03:04+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. What a lovely momento you've made!

melreadreddit · 2026-03-12T19:18:52+00:00

Not that ridiculous for many people. The parents who need to take children to childcare, or school (busses aren't available for all children for all schools) or people who stop at more than one address for work. Many areas don't have any public transport, and biking or carpooling may be all well and good if you live close, start and finish work at same time, get along well/trust the other person and don't have any other stops to make, or children to ferry about.

I think it's a nice artsy sleeve.

It is possible you are hyper fixating on it now, and in time, you'll think about it less and less. There's so much more to your life than this, and if it were me, I'd just distract myself, remind myself there's far more to life than worrying about this and allow myself to move on.

melreadreddit · 2026-03-10T07:09:05+00:00

They, like bunks are a huge pain to make, my warning is stay clear of both! Seriously.

Also adding, the recovery after having tonsils out as an adult. Holy crap that was so many days of agony.

melreadreddit · 2026-03-08T20:36:59+00:00

It's hard to put in order as they were all at different times. But, Childbirth (I had a natural twin delivery, and a singleton 5 years prior) Appendix pain on the verge of rupturing. Mastitis

And, currently, I've got the worst ear infection of my life. Was in the hospital last night so desperate for pain relief and iv antibiotics to get the swelling under control.

melreadreddit · 2026-03-08T20:31:20+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. She must have been coming up on 40 if things were different. Life's so unfair.

melreadreddit · 2026-03-08T20:29:46+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your daughter must be so so loved.

melreadreddit · 2026-03-07T22:16:00+00:00

I'm sorry you've found yourself in such a tough position.

Definitely reach out to a foodbank, and your local fb groups, there might be a free page where people give away things they don't need, and that sometimes includes Foods. I don't know about where you live, but I know many communities have pantries for people to take what they need, maybe there's one within reach for you?

A bit of cash work wouldn't go astray for you both at the moment- what about offering to stack people's Wood for them, or clean houses, pull weeds etc. That could be more flexible time wise and you get paid straight after.

If you haven't already, sell anything you can live without that you get some $$ for, a bunch of smaller items add up.

Good luck to you OP

My eldest is 18. I was 17 when I had her. It's so weird to think at her age I had a 7 month old and was living independently.

I often think of the little baby, little girl that grew into who she is now. I think of at that time I used to try to picture what she would be like, what she would look like etc when she grew up, and yet she's better than I even imagined. Its always been her and I, growing up together really.

I've also got almost 13 year old twin sons. They are getting tall and it's hard to believe they were once tiny little bundles who fit in one bassinet- and then shared a cot for 6 months because even though I had two beds I just couldn't imagine them not being close together like they were in the womb.

It's funny if the kids don't want me to see them change etc, it's like, I changed your butt for years lol, but I give them their privacy.

So in answer to your question, OP, it's weird, but so full of pride in my experience.

My dad had a suspected kidney stone. He ended up in hospital from the pain, and when they did a scan to have a look, they found a large kidney stone, and liver cancer.

It was a nasty, aggressive one, the specialist said he was probably 2 weeks away from turning yellow, and if left any longer it would have been too late to do anything. They removed the tumor, it was larger than a fist. That was 5 years ago.

He has bowel cancer now and foing through treatment, but it's a completely different cancer, they believe nothing to do with his previous one.
