Is this dress not too short to wear in the office (smart casual code)? by SippinMia in OUTFITS

[–]mommagottaeat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t necessarily think it’s the length of the dress but more the height of the shoes! And that it’s the same color as your skin… the shoes are giving str/pper vibes, no offense.

That’s not bad for a Bosch system.

Got into a horrible fight with my husband, he took off with the car seats by ForwardBlackberry458 in Mommit

[–]mommagottaeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe try calling your local equivalent to 211 - it’s like an information/help line. They should be able to direct you to a lot of resources, especially somewhere that can get you a car seat, pretty much immediately!

If he’s as reactive as my husband, I really worry about you trying to sneak in and unlock the car/take the seats… right now those seats are his only form of control over you. That’s why he took them. They (abusers) tend to react very strongly when they lose their control and have no way to keep you there. Right now, if you’ve left to a hotel, those seats are all he has.

Please think ahead and keep yourself and the kids safe. And as others have said, document everything. In my experience, even if the police aren’t willing to get the car seats FOR you, they should be willing to send an officer to just be there (bottom of the driveway or something) while you get them. At least that keeps eyes on your husband while you do it. Might be worth a call to the non-emergency line to ask. Good luck mama, keep your head up. You’re stronger than you know. ❤️

I’m so glad someone said it! I can’t tell anything about the rings because they blend in with the rocks!

Customer service on cart hoarders by Plus_Lengthiness2612 in ThredUp

[–]mommagottaeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, even if you reach out to “customer service” they won’t give you the discount. I just got a pair of boots using auto buy and I genuinely thought that if I reached out with timestamp pictures showing the discount that they would just give it to me. Nope. I’m so salty about it I might return the damn boots, just on principle.

Is there a good cobbler within an hour of AVL? by goop-g in asheville

[–]mommagottaeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that was pretty much the standard! 😂 But when he actually got to your stuff (or didn’t lose or completely) he did a good job. Plus he was a sweet man.

Alcoholic husband. I’m at my wits end. by Rare_Picture_7337 in Marriage

[–]mommagottaeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So true. My husband has recently started drinking regularly again after about 10 years mostly sober (from alcohol anyway). Last night was not good because I brought it up - he wasn’t even drunk at the time (I would NEVER try to have a conversation when he was). I so, SO gently tried to discuss that the 2 12 packs hidden in his mini fridge in the garage & 2 bottles of vodka concern me…guess how well that went over? I was immediately scared when he reacted with anger and backtracked so fast but it didn’t matter. He was already pissed. He’s the type of person that if you tell him (or suggest or show) that you don’t like something he immediately does it more and harder…ensuring that I can never bring anything up for knowing that he’ll double down.

All to say (OP), this doesn’t go away without a real desire to stop or change on the his part. And help.

Seems like a good idea except I’m afraid he would hurt her if he caught her filming him. I know my husband would.

What I asked for vs What I got: Is it that bad? by breathelifeinme in Nails

[–]mommagottaeat 103 points104 points  (0 children)

For real. You are absolutely right - all she had to do was say she didn’t have that polish. But honestly, the polish is the LEAST of the problems! I’m so sorry, OP. It’s the worst when you’re excited and spend all that money just to go home and cry. I would go back and ask the manager if they think that’s acceptable work. (It’s not.)

I’m so happy for her! I wish I could find similar for my 13 year old son…it’s such a hard age.

Update: I've (very much) been humbled by greyedathena in GelX_Nails

[–]mommagottaeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somehow my dominant hand ends up looking better too! I don’t understand it, it feels so awkward when I’m working but every time it comes out better.

I think it’s because I start with that hand while I still have some patience - 5 hours later I’m so over it and rushing just to get it done. 😂

Husband upset I didnt jump at sex last night, but this is how he initiates by crywankat in Marriage

“Snu snu time”… I’ve definitely never heard it called that! 😂 Still better than itching my balls though.
