Gallet asked:


I have a brand new home which I furnished with lovely pale furniture and flooring. This is fine for me, but my friends want to bring their young kids (around 2yo) to visit. I want their company but want my house kept clean and tidy and am scared the kids will drop something on my lovely furniture (eg their mum gives them a chocolate and they smoosh it on the sofa or drool onto it). Plus kids are inquisitive with trinkets etc. What do I do? I want to say hey you can bring your kid over but you seriously gotta keep an eye on them!! They seem to think drooling and dropping food is cute but I don’t want to have to dry clean my lounge cos of them!! Am I just being an unreasonable jerk??

oldknowitall asked:


Have any of you been through this and what are some fair ways to divide her furniture, etc. All her other children have expressed what they would like to have. It seems they all want pretty much the same things. Share with me if you have any ideas.

W asked:


Been married 19 years. Adopted son from Mom’s previous marriage at age 7. Son has never respected his Mom or me. He lies/ drinks/ been to jail for various offenses. Has no driver’s license for it was suspended 3 times, consecutively. Violated probation and was incarcerated for 3 months until Mom arranged treatment for him to get out. Went through 3 halfway houses finally finished treatment. Relapsed, got his girl pregnant and she doesn’t want anything to do with him anymore. I’ve been labeled he BAD Dad because I won’t put up with his ways. Mom takes her anger out on me when I try and put my foot down with him. She gave him her old car. He totatled it in 3 weeks. She has now signed for a 13 month lease so he can live closer to work. Has helped him furnish the new apt. Even given an old mattress out of our home so he will have something to sleep on. We now have to replace the mattress before next weekend for we have visitors coming. I am at my wits end. I have been told by him that his Mom is a beautiful woman and that I didn’t deserve such. Been told by him that I am a good for nothing and yet I helped raise him/ send him to college/ many different things. I am only told that I did this for my wife and not for him. Like I said he has been / is disrespectful to me and to her. Not sure what I need to do from here. Mom has gone to a therapist and with the first meeting decided to sign to the lease/ give furnishings etc. What do I do? I work hard to provide and so does she, but I see it all going to him one day and that is not acceptable.

Ok so I’m turning 21 in a month I had planned on going to vegas with my live in boyfriend of almost 3 yrs but sh!t happens and we couldn’t save up enough money to really go and have a GREAT time so my mom was like what if I pay for it and well all go and have a blast well that’s cool with me cuz my mom is like my best friend and I can do whatever I want in front of her basically so here’s the problem now his parents who live in CA want to come cuz they haven’t seen him in over a year mind u they’ve put no effort into seeing him or flying out here this whole year my mom bought us a house and his parents said they couldn’t afford to help out with any furnishings at all then turned around n took the other son to hawaii in may and his whole family to went and then they took them to mexico in august but told my bf they couldn’t afford to come see him here in Ga or help with the house. So they wanna meet in vegas and if it were just dinner that’s fine but they’re gunna stay both days were there and I just don’t wanna kick it with the in laws (who don’t like me to begin with) for my 21rst. Oh but wait there’s more my grandparents who look down their nose at me cuz I have my own ideas and opinions that thjey don’t agree with, but they worship other crackhead jailbirds in the family, want to go and that just baffles me so now I would rather sit home than deal with the drama and bs but it is my 21rst and I only get one of those so what do I do?

xxx_death_kiss_xxx asked:


Dearest Sexy,

I have a proposition for you. I have been thinking about this for many many days now, so I am 100% sure this is something I’d personally like to do.

Remember when we had that misunderstanding about where you would stay after you move to Winston-Salem? I originally stated that only a short-term stay was workable. Well, I thought about it for awhile after that, and decided that it might actually be a good idea to share a household. Let me give you a run-down of the idea I had in mind.

I think you would be a good roommate, when you move to Winston. If you take this offer, you would be in for 1/3 of the expenses (since there would be 3 people here.) This comes out to about $350 a month which includes all current utilities. I would simply ask for that as a flat rate each month. You would have your own room, and Nessa and I would share a room (the bigger of the two, currently my office).

Even though we are involved with each other in an intimate way, I still think looking at this like a practical roommate arrangement is best.

Here are some reasons why I think this will be beneficial. From a compatibility standpoint we are both quiet people, have similar sleep patterns, value clean and tidy housekeeping, are frugal, don’t watch TV much, and have mutual respect. This arrangement stands to help us both financially; I could pay off debt and afford online college. I’m sure you could do something special with the extra cash, whether it be saving up, investing, helping your mom, going back to school, or anything your heart desires.

Domestic tasks would also be simpler if we break it into roles we both enjoy. I could make dinner most nights, and you could take care of most of the yard work. Food expenses could be casually shared & we could benefit from buying in bulk. Cleaning house is something we already do in our current homes; I feel assured you are the type to clean up after yourself even with a woman in the house.

It’s important to note that due to work, travel, and school, we would still not have a lot of time to see each other even if we lived together. I would be busy once I got home, and we might be seeing each other only at dinner.

You would have time to yourself probably every week since you get mostly weekdays off. I would still visit my family every other weekend. But, we could go on dates/”sleepovers” just as usual when Nessa is away (Wednesdays and every other weekend). Except, there would be no 2 1/2 hour drive to worry about.

The things that might pose problems are as follows. We could not probably have 3 cats here. Also, there may not be enough room for all your furnishings. These are two things we will have to work on if you take this offer.

You will also have to decide if you are prepared to live in a home with a 7-year old. Some days are fun, but some days are annoying. You would not be expected to take on a parental role. However, because Nessa admires you she will probably seek your attention sometimes. She is talkative and asks lots of questions, and wants to be included in things. Every so often she might pitch a fit over something that seems irrational and it is a very unpleasurable thing to witness. You are a good role model, and this is also a benefit to me & Nessa. But, you have to consider whether this is a benefit to you. Think about whether being a male role model is a rewarding experience to your heart, or if it doesn’t really do anything for you. Remember it is normal to get disgusted by children, especially when they are not your own. Just recognize whether you are willing/able to cope with such feelings from time to time.

Anyways, I plan to get rid of some more junk if you decide to make this move. That way we won’t be so crowded. I do think there is plenty of room for the three of us, as long as we stay reasonably organized and avoid excess. Neatness will be important.

If you’d like to do this, let me know. You do not have to give an immediate answer; just think about it. Please read at least twice before making a decision.

I hope you have a deliciously wonderful day!

Yours always,

Pumpkin

SledgeHammer asked:


My MIL’s 76 and involved herself in decisions the Mrs + I should make.Our home. Some furnishings. Our holidays. We’ve let her have her way WITHIN reason out of respect and consideration of her age.
My wife was born to a 1st time mom age 47 in 1978.Not many fond memories of childhood + school etc..in the 80’s she suffered bullying due to the age diff. MIL was to other moms. She grew up boarding schools + never bonded with MIL. My wife feels guilty for feeling embarrased of her older mom back then also things said as an angry+confused teenager.
I’m sure MIL’s aware + milks it. Poor old lonely me etc..says if we have kids she will barely get to know them..etc There’s nothing wrong with MIL..bless - but she’s just crafty + has made dodgy + selfish decisions which’ve became apparent when she grew old - I hate to say.
Problem is we can’t wait to start a family , but are ransomed by exceptional emotional skills of MIL
Something’s got to give ,its tearing us apart. Can offer any advice

angelcakes asked:


For your average family (ie 2.4 children), how much would you need to be bringing in each year to be able to have a comfortable life (ie a nice home with nice furnishings, nice clothes, a nice car, a stay at home mum etc) in North London (and the surrounding subberbs). What size salary is needed? What type of career is most likely to give you this?
