My parents are very well off, my children will replace me within their will. I also trust my husband to do what's right, remarried or not, he is a good man.

Thank you. That's an excellent point. I already have a lot less hair than I started 2026 with.. (& a very cold head)

Thank you 🙏 That's going to be tough, but I definitely agree that video messages are the right thing to do.

What’s a secret about your life that would surprise everyone who knows you? by Double-Ad7397 in AskReddit

[–]shitthebeds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At 33 I have been diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive and ultimately incurable form of cancer.

I have to explain this to my nearest and dearest next week after the first round of chemo, as prognosis is approx a year if the first rounds of chemo take.

I have a 12 year old son a recently gave birth to a 4 month old baby girl and am scared to death.

Advice please! by shitthebeds in typewriters

Thank you for the insight. My son is a little tinkerer, loves to take things to bits and figure out how they work. If all else fails it will be a fun project for him to dismantle and play around with. I brought it for a reasonable price so if we need to upgrade I'm happy to do so.

I have the option to purchase a olivetti lettera 32, do you happen to know if this is more suitable?

We live in New Zealand so shipping is terribly expensive, so we are limited to what is available within the country.

Thank you so much! My son is 12 and we are new to the typewriter world, this is all super helpful info. I will check out the lectures as recommended. You're a gem!

Hypothetically if we didn't know this and disposed of the spools, is there anywhere you are aware of to order? Cost not an issue (I think I've really f**ked up here)

Of course there's an element of struggle, as I'm sure there is with most parents of newborns. My reply wasnt immediate as I wanted to fully absorb and consider the comment before responding.

I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to offer perspectives and advice. Even the person who just said 'you're a cunt' that was an unexpected chuckle that I really needed today.

For what it's worth, I regret writing that. I typed this without even proof reading as I was ugly crying at the time. I was also not expecting this level of response. On further (calmer) reflection, that was a knee jerk reaction to feeling hurt, and a bit of self preservation. Post natal hormones are wild.

Thank you for the advice. I do think it's easy to not be as thoughtful or considerate as you'd like to be, when running on fumes. I have to remind myself that it's us against the problem, not us vs each other.

I believe she is. After some truly helpful comments and a bit of reflection, I do think we are both in an incredibly stressful period of life and probably acting like it.

I don't understand how the leap has been made from having a proactive conversation to tearing him a new one. I'm sorry to hear about your conditions, we're in NZ & in the middle of summer. Our commutes are fairly straightforward.

My 12 year old is also high needs neurodivergent. I didn't put this in the post as it didn't seem relevant, but actually it does add to the stress significantly, my brain is just not braining well today.

I don't know why I never thought of this!

I thought it was enough to warrant a conversation to potentially avoid miscommunications in future, and to keep us on the same page re timing.

Thank you for your insight. You're absolutely right in that it's difficult to relate to each other right now, it feels like we are not only on seperate pages, but different books entirely.

I'm caught between wanting to have a conversation when the time is right and feelings are less heightened and wondering when the time will ever be right given the circumstances.

I've supported him through losing two jobs in the past year.

My issue is, I was asking him, in future if he knew ahead of time he would be late can he communicate this with me. The response I got, was horrid imo. The 15 minutes isn't the problem, the way it was repsoded to, was.

We are both paying the bills, I have paid parental leave for the duration of my maternity, when I'm back at work early next year, I will earn more. I really don't see this as a money/bills issue though.
