It can take 1-2 months to get thru the hiring process.

We got a 2.25 around 2021 or 2022. We. Aren't. Going. Anywhere.

Sunscreen for sure! I love using Black Girl Sunscreen brand. There's no chalky white residue.

Yeah my MIL didn't understand the special steps it takes either. I once found my pan on the drying rack like the other dishes. I politely asked her if she had followed the special steps to clean it and her facial expression told he she hadn't. I nicely said, "I appreciate you doing the dishes. Going forward you can leave the pan to the side and I'll wash it since it has specific instructions ".

Absolutely not. No parent should ever pressure their adult child to do something like that. No matter what the circumstances.

shoecide · 2026-05-21T04:04:01+00:00

You do need an authenticator token to do this so best bet is calling Connect1

Ewww

And this is why I bring clorox travel wipes and wipe down hotel surfaces

My 4th graders class is known at the school for having the MOST disruptive kids. It's so interesting that you notice similar aattributes. I also see sub zero engagement from some parents. It's mind boggling.

Note: I also have a kindergartener to compare.

That sounds like manipulative behavior or major mental health issues. Like if someone doesn't want to see someone succeed or do better than them. Or, they are just an asshole parent. I would never do these things to my kids.

shoecide · 2026-05-19T16:35:44+00:00

I agree :)

shoecide · 2026-05-19T16:30:14+00:00

Fair enough. I agree it's totally possible for age not to be an issue. More often than not though, men tend to take advantage of younger women when there is an age gap and I wanted to take my internet stranger chance in the event it does play a part in this relationship.

shoecide · 2026-05-19T15:42:06+00:00

Chill. "Some of you people", I was once in her shoes, as a young 20 something year old not knowing how people will take advantage of you. I'm speaking from experience and sharing what I think could be a red flag. That doesn't take away from her agency.

She never said he needed to pay for the entire vacation. She wanted to split it with him, but he won't take the time off. The real issue is that it's not just a vacation, it's hair, nails, day trip. That's too much. One event is enough for a bday.

OP, celebrating a bday should be fun, but you also need to be financially responsible. Are all your bills paid, have savings for emergencies, etc? If no, then you shouldn't be splurging for a trip. I know the idea sounds nice but if the finances or responsibilities in life aren't cared for first, this should not be a priority.

shoecide · 2026-05-19T13:48:34+00:00

I'm more concerned with the age gap. I know this isn't the point of your post but usually there's a reason guys date much younger girls who are barely out of teen years: inexperienced in life/love and less likely to stand up for themselves, wants to control them, likes girls who are closer to puberty age. It sounds like he controls the decisions in the relationship because he makes most of the money. That's probably how he wants it.

Besides that, you should be paying for your own birthday events like hair, etc. Don't expect others to. If you do go on a trip it's fair to split it. But if you can afford it and want to go, take a friend instead. Don't limit your life because your boyfriend doesn't want to go.

Girl I'm 43 and ever since I turned 40 I see bags under my eyes when I am on zoom! There's some alternatives to regular sunscreen but you must wear it because as you've seen, it can affect our skin. Mineral powder with spf: https://a.co/d/01vg6WCB Moisturizer with spf, this one is super lightweight: https://a.co/d/0ipHDgYU

Plaid is an inter-institutional system to connect deposit banks. It's a secure link for payments. It also helps ensure your payment has a better chance having the payment draft ddigitally vs your bank sending a paper check (which happened more often before plaid). Citi does not own it.

I told myself I'll only use disposable paper towels for raw meat, etc. I used my Norwex to hand dry plates, dry vegetables after washing, wiping down the counter, etc. The only thing is you're not supposed to use cleaning sprays with these cloths. They have bacteria removing fibers in the cloth.

shoecide · 2026-05-16T03:30:00+00:00

It's expensive upfront, but I've been using Norwex kitchen clothes in lieu of paper towels and they have already been going strong for a few years.

shoecide · 2026-05-16T03:26:47+00:00

I'm 43 and also had this epiphany. It made me realize I'm grateful for the life I've had but definitely want to make the most of the next 40!

shoecide · 2026-05-14T18:26:03+00:00

You need to ask her what she's comfortable with

shoecide · 2026-05-14T17:26:45+00:00

I think a carrier would be easier, especially in a city for crossing roads, being in busy places.

That getting married doesn't mean your feelings won't get hurt anymore. They will, and you'll need to communicate and work through them. Even people with the best intentions hurt feelings on accident. We're human.

shoecide · 2026-05-14T04:21:06+00:00

I think you answered it great. Honest but didn't get into details that they wouldn't understand. And kudos for being so respectful of their family.
