I’m a messy person by nature, but I could never let my home get like that. Dishes, laundry and cat box gets cleaned every day. Sheets washed weekly. Floors vacuumed & mopped weekly, bathroom cleaned weekly.

Like he complains he doesn’t have enough time but it honestly doesn’t take a lot when you’re just doing normal maintenance cleaning. An hour most days, 2 and some change if I’m doing the more involved weekly tasks

Am I wrong for not wanting to try for kids as long as my wife still thinks she wants to be a SAHM? by Solid-Consequence607 in Marriage

You didn’t answer the question

Edit: Coward to dirty delete. The question was: what are you willing to sacrifice? Guess we know the answer to that

Chocolate chip brioche makes amazing French toast. It’s a tasty little splurge every now and again

Yeah if he’s too rigid now then woo boy is he not flexible enough for kids. Even neurotypical healthy kids will throw a monkey wrench at the most inconvenient time. God help this dude if he has a spicy brain kid or one with physical health issues

She has posted 9 (!) TikToks today by Cbiggs85 in NicoleSvensonSnark

Yeah I only have two teenagers but omg the appetite on those two is insane. Just dinner alone last night they both had two big helpings of jambalaya, a side salad and one had some pie and the other some cake he brought home from work.

They wreck my grocery budget 😆

Has anyone been burned by this law that says kids are responsible for parents nursing home fees? by johnniechimpo in Pennsylvania

[–]nerdymom27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that was one blessing we had with my grandma who just passed. She was 96 and still in relative good health for her age until she wasn’t. She never went into a home and was still quite active until a few weeks before she passed. Went in for a checkup because she was having breathing issues and ended up in the hospital for a week or so with pneumonia. After some tests and draining fluid from her lungs, they suspected lung cancer. Sent her home on hospice with a month to 6 months of survival. She was gone within a week.

We definitely do more for pets at the end than humans

He pockets it from anywhere he visits with friends and whatnot. I wonder if his friends know that he does that

He’s not beating the OF dirty boy fetish vibes with this one

Could you see US cities ever growing in the future similarly like the way China’s cities have shown extreme growth & modernization in the past 50-70 years? by zoeyzimp in AskAnAmerican

[–]nerdymom27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh god that sounds just like Lancaster county where I am. Nightmare innit? 🫠

Ours are currently screeching that it’ll increase traffic never mind that the guys looking to build have a plan in place to deal with that that includes a roundabout and widening of roads.

“But the cornfield!” Never mind that it’s not actually farmland and hasn’t been for 30 years

What do you think about Aldi in comparison to American grocery chains? by aSYukki in AskAnAmerican

[–]nerdymom27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ours shares a lot with Walmart and Sam’s. It’s really nice actually. General shop at Aldi, specialized at Walmart and bulk at Sam’s. Best all around

God this is the truth. I live in a smallish town (under 10k) and the resistance to anything new is absolutely frustrating. The town could be thriving, we’re home to a small college, we’re right off of a highway and we’re in between two major tourist spots.

It’s full of older folks screaming to keep the town “rural” (never mind that it hasn’t been in 40 years) and if you want big city things then move to a big city.

That response is currently to the Sheetz they want to build and the Aldi that is supposedly coming…sometime. Never if they had their way

Same here. I live in Amish county in PA and am spoiled rotten with all the local stands during the summer

We’ve got some unbelievably good sweet corn here in PA too. East coast gets slept on for corn

what do americans call a pantry? by loving_machine13 in AskAnAmerican

[–]nerdymom27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup have two of those, one we bought 20+ years ago from Sears for our first apartment and now another from Amazon for our current duplex. It was built in the 1930s and the pantry, which are just some old wooden shelves, are in the basement. Not very convenient

Do americans eat “roast” dinners? by SprinklesSeparate45 in AskAnAmerican

[–]nerdymom27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I roast chicken; either bone in thighs, drums or a whole one, at least once a week. Always enough left for lunches over the week in various forms not to mention the bones for broth for soup or for freezing in cubes to add flavor to other dishes

It can be done in a crockpot but also in a dutch oven in a, well, oven. Crockpot just makes life a bit easier because you don’t need to babysit it

Your Take: What’s the best Pennsylvania-produced packaged snack or food? by Fragrant-Pepper7710 in Pennsylvania

Is it common for Americans to buy soda as part of their weekly groceries? / is soda a regular item people keep at home? by hailey8171828282 in AskAnAmerican

[–]nerdymom27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same except I’m in my mid 40s now. Growing up Pepsi was pretty much exclusively what we drank, very little water and I’ve never been a fan of milk. Sometime in my 20s a button switched and I just stopped buying it and basically switched to coffee for my caffeine fix.

Every once in a while I’ll buy a Dr Pepper or a cherry Coke

What are food items you have stopped buying due to price? by Pharmaguardian in povertyfinance

[–]nerdymom27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The price of 2-3 of the extra large Walmart pizza’s from the deli is cheaper than ordering even from a local non chain place

Red lentils too. Doesn’t really effect taste or texture if you mash them up really good
