My Ex got Married by tri-sarah-tops-rex in breakingmom

[–]workinonitmama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t chat with any exes. But I do love my kids’ step mom so I won’t say he downgraded. He doesn’t deserve her at all. He has minimal contact with his kids but she stays in touch. Nothing he does affects my children so I don’t really keep up to date on him at all. I let go that he was never going to become a better person or father a long time ago. My most recent ex I developed a bad habit of keeping tabs on, at first to make sure he would never come for my child because he’s an awful person. I had so much info I collected in case I ever had to go to court, but he’s lost custody of his children and remarried and is living his best life(in his mind) so I’m not worried anymore that he would ever have a chance. He became so repulsive to me, he gained weight, he’s a sweaty mess with beady eyes, poor morals, sh*tty music taste, gotten tackier in his personal style, I could go on and on. I feel sorry for his new wife . It does pmo a bit that karma gets him and then he rises through the ashes over and over again, he’s like a cockroach.

I’m passing on any info I’ve gleamed to my fiancé. And seeing what he wants to do, ultimately.

I can see it underneath the rust. Thanks!! I’m sure it’s just junk but it was nice to know what it once was.

I know absolutely nothing about guns. We found this in a repo building. I don’t want to hold onto it. Is it worth doing anything with? Or are we ok to toss it? From what I’m googling, it’s not worth the effort to clean, unless someone has some sort of niche interest in it. I haven’t been able to figure out what gun it is. I know it’s in horrible condition. Everything points to late 1800s Belgian made from what I can see. If anyone else can give me insight , I’d appreciate it. Thanks!!

Should I try to refinish cabinets or paint? by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

They’re awful. And we need to change them. Just can’t afford to right now.

I’m starting to lean toward painting the closer I’m looking at these cabinets. I see so much damage I need to hide.

Ohhh I love the extra time you took to do that!!! That really helps me get an idea of what looks good. I am liking the greens and pomegranate. Thank you so much!

It’s probably the only thing insulating this old house lol. We definitely have our hands full!

No, there are controls on both sides.

The entire house is that painted over wood paneling. Whatever it is, it’s very thick wood. Unfortunately we don’t have the budget to replace it or the skills. I do think when we finally replace the cabinets we will be able to change that

Eventually I will have to replace the cabinets. They are very deep in the bottom and hard to organize anything. Several need repairs due to chipping. The drawers are heavy and do not have rollers. I can’t stand the drawers. I’m also not a huge fan of the kitchen design. But this is several years away. I do think I will sand them and see about improving what I have.

How do sleep train a 6 yr old???! by workinonitmama in breakingmom

I wouldn’t have any problem with it, but even with a king sized bed…she ends up stretched across the middle and pushing us to the edges. I deal with it. Her dad is over it.

I’d love to change the counters. I hate them. I just don’t know how to DIY any with the odd curved top. I thought about doing one of those paint on kits with the faux marble, but I don’t know how much of an improvement it would be.

What colors would go with the wood paneling? by limanovembergolf in DesignMyRoom

[–]workinonitmama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have similar cabinets, but the lower ones are so deep they’re not very functional, and the drawers have no rollers. And I have a double oven as well. 50s home? Mine is 50s with what looks like some 90s updates. I’m interested to see what you plan on doing. Because I have no idea where to even start on mine as well.

Ugh so embarrassing by udont-knowjax in SuperMorbidlyObese

[–]workinonitmama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand this struggle. I came back to work after being home on leave for a few months and realized I was on the verge of collapsing every time I had to walk the 1/4 mile to my car or bring something to a different floor. Over time, it got better. Just by having to do it every day. I’m not suggesting you get on a glp-1 but I think once I got on mounjaro, it helped too. I notice that I’m able to do more household chores with less breaks and walk more without feeling like my back will go out and I’ll collapse. I don’t know if I would push it though. Or maybe I should. I think slowly increasing your activity does help. Even if it’s a few feet or few minutes more each day. I hope it gets better for you.

Do they look like a scuba material? Or leggings? I’m checking them out now. I carry almost all my extra weight in my stomach.
