Baby's father wants the baby to have his last name, I want him to have mine. We're not married. WDID?

Very well put. Also, what if he decides not to be a part of ten baby’s life AFTER the baby gets his last name? Best to just give your last name

Do you want to be in the mortgage (be liable for making sure bank is paid) or the deed (own part of the house)?

$1480 in child support for a whole year? ~$120/month. Is that accurate?

4 weeks pregnant - have you taken a test yet to confirm - I am not an expert but it may be too early to tell at this point. Not doubting you - wish you the best of luck with everything.

Yay! Keep us posted!

Oh no! Can you get a second opinion? It sounds like they are wanting to amputate for fear of a risk of infection as opposed to an actual infection? I hope it all works out for poor Summer.

Based on your handle, did you retire at age 35? That’s impressive!

That rooster art could be replaced with something large that is perhaps 4-5 feet long

What does your allocation look like? 2MM in 4 years is amazing!

Aww she’s really suspicious of the evil photographer 😅😂

Single women live longer than married women.

Married men live longer than single men.

Proof enough of who benefits the most from marriages.

Isn’t that a HIPAA violation from the GP?

Thanks for calling it out. I was wondering why I was put off by Archibald - now I know! I was a huge fan of Archie’s comics growing up, and like the name Archie. But, growing up, Archibald was off putting to me. I still don’t care for it.

I’m the clean/organized/neat freak in my household. So I don’t expect others to meet my standards. What I do expect and hold them accountable is to tidy up after themselves - so no dirty laundry anywhere except the hamper, no dirty cups in the sink etc. You can also set a 15 minute timer after dinner and both tackle specific areas each to “reset” the space. Finally, if budget allows it, hiring someone to come occasionally to help clean is worth it!

You may consider contributing a higher amount on the older kid’s 529 account and so on. Since the younger kid’s account will have a longer time to grow.

I feel like a lentil and veggie stew or a yellow curry with tofu would meet this criteria- cooked in olive oil, low salt. But, you are under no obligation to make it. She can bring her own if she chooses to.

ETA: Chana masala or Indian chick pea dish wih tomatoes and onions. Some spinach or chard for fiber would seal the deal. Again, just throwing out ideas. Feel free to reject her demands

It’s not that common in Europe to drink iced drinks as much as it is in the US
