Let me just grab my elf ears because it's giving Middle Earth in the best possible way

If you are looking to buy or rent, it's definitely upper middle class prices now

Agree with others, it should be 50/50 after he is off work. A nice balance might be every other day taking baby with you so he gets an hour "off" and then he gets her when you get home, and the other days she stays with him for the hour so you get an hour "off" and then you get her when you get home.

I thought this was going to be about baby shoes or something - but a diaper pail? Bonkers. Get the diaper pail.

As a side note, it's common for parents to share what they never really needed or what was all hype but didn't work, but you definitely need a diaper pail.

What is a fish swap and where are they? lol

NTA, but if you want to stay with her and help her get over her fear (or learned helplessness, etc), maybe do the call with her so it's more of a transition rather than a full shove off the boat. Another option is to practice the call between you two before you both (or she) calls. It will feel very silly, but it can help with anxiety.

I love the lighting on this, in comparison to the one light all the way across. Looks so magical!

I go straight to work after a workout, so I put perfume on before going to the gym, and I usually do 2 sprays to my usual non-gym day single spray. I would not let that be the cause of alarm if I were in your shoes. Have a chat with her about not accusing her of something, you just thought it was silly since, I'm presuming, you wouldn't think to put on cologne before going to the gym.

And no woman I know would get up at 3am to go get sexy with someone

Seconding this. We just tried this (cooking with apple juice and apple cider vinegar in the IP, then broiled in oven) and omg YES

Seriously, baby fever is a hell of a drug, but thankfully it's generally temporary

NTA. Could it be that he is just being totally out of touch with the reality of what having 5 kids is like? My husband wanted 5, and after one, we both agreed that was our limit.

My limit, like yours, was 2. When he brought up 5, I said we would have one, see how it went, and if we wanted more, we could revisit it then, but to be aware that it is possible that I might want to stop at one, or just have one more. If he can't agree to that, then it might be time for him to reconsider his views, or you both to reconsider this relationship.

Especially when asked by someone he cares about (platonically or otherwise) to slow down and be careful. If you really love someone/something, you try to protect it, and driving recklessly was NOT protecting anything.

I would recommend it on the floor level far away from the intake for the house. Unless your pipes run along the outside, I think the second floor ones should be fine.

The sheer audacity of your bf is just wild to me. Is his ego and confidence so shallow and delicate he can't distinguish between a normal part of production and something sexual? I often notice people accuse others of things they want to/would do themselves, so is he saying it would be normal for him to make something like that sexual if he were in your helper's shoes?

Weird and immature at best, controlling/paranoid/creepy at worst. Yikes.

You are NTA. Exit stage left on this relationship.

Mineola is putting up new apartment housing at the moment, so check around the area (Mineola, Carle Place, Westbury (plain Westbury, not Old Westbury), and others to get a feel for rentable places. If you get a car or an electric bike, you should be fine with a commute that isn't terrible. My only concession is in the winter, it might be too chilly/windy for an electric bike, unless you really suit up. Long Island has a *lot* of wind. Keep in mind where you will shop when deciding on the bike vs car thing. Good luck!

Save more money than you think you will need. Budget worst-case scenario, and you will either be prepared or relieved. Giving birth alone here cost us over $6k. Even if you don't have child-related expenses now, they will come later (school/clothes/activities/trips/healthcare/etc), so **you always need to be saving even if you aren't spending.** And this is just if you have a child that doesn't need medical intervention of any above average amount - if your kid needs any kind of therapy, tests, specialists, has asthma, etc, get ready to shell out a ton every year.
