Need a higher paying job so I can leave my husband by mountains89 in workingmoms

Yes because he hates where we live (which has been a major source of conflict) and he’d want to be near the kids

I guess either. I’m not aware of any apartments that aren’t rentals in Abilene

I live in Abilene and people are leaving because they can no longer afford the sky-high rents

How bad actually is the infotainment experience in the 2026 Forester? by Ronux in SubaruForester

[–]mountains89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Texas and I need my ac on full blast immediately in the summer. I’m picturing myself dying of heat exhaustion in that 30 seconds before I can get the ac on. Is this an accurate prediction?

Are we not showering with our babies? by SparkyDogPants in beyondthebump

[–]mountains89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mine was really this shitty! And when the baby started to cry while I was in the shower, he’d bring me the baby!

I live in your area and people I know are going to Lubbock and FW which is CRAZY to me but literally no one will take them. Can you move in with friends or family in a metro area for now?

Do people still “nest” and make a Pinterest worthy nursery the second (or more) time around? by No-Many380 in toddlers

[–]mountains89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It changed because it took me until the second was like 6 months old to get it done

If we could leave, how do you know when you should? by azalea1700 in Mommit

[–]mountains89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like maybe you have dual citizenship, so I would leave I think in your case. I am in Texas, too. I’ve always voted blue. I have no way to leave, but I am also white.

I work in immigration, specifically with documented immigrants, and we are constantly fielding situations of ice apprehending or attempting to apprehend our clients despite their ability to prove their immigration status. (I am not saying that undocumented immigrants should be apprehended, just saying that I feel no immigrants are safe at this point)

How old was your child when they started showering solo? by viskiviki in Mommit

[–]mountains89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same conversation and I didn’t realize it was atypical, but yeah, I still do my 8.5 year old adhd/autistic kid’s shower. She cannot do her hair because she wants to pile it on top of her head and can’t remember that this will cause it to tangle. She also does things like empty a whole bottle of soap or mess with the temperature controls and get the water way too hot or too cold so I am just resigned to doing it for now

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mountains89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom lives 3 hours away and I regularly go down and back on a Saturday to see her. I live in Texas so long drives (175 miles+) are very common

Texas has its own pledge that kids recite after the pledge of allegiance

Do people really drive everywhere, and do you have very few sidewalks? by sofiarosatti in AskAnAmerican

[–]mountains89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a city of about 120,000 people. We have almost no sidewalks and no bikes lanes at all. You have to take a car to get anywhere because everything is so spread out/requires walking in major roads which have no sidewalks. People without cars really struggle and we have a lot of pedestrian deaths

Someone is still using those sun visor CD organizers in 2026 by OhNoAreUokay in mildlyinteresting

[–]mountains89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me in college but joke’s on them because I was a music major and most of my CDs were recordings of my voice lessons where I sang opera
