Just FYI Roaches here!!

If you're someone planning to move into this area from somewhere considerably far away... be advised Wood Roaches are an incredibly invasive thing in this area!! We had no idea about these until it was too late!! I'd make sure whatever house you're moving into is fully fumigated prior to move in, to ensure a clean slate, so to speak!! We've had our rental company send someone out, but they only spayed the perimeter of the outside of the house and along baseboards inside... I'm quite certain they live UNDER our kitchen floor and no amount of big spray etc seems to get rid of them! I'm not sure about anyone else, but roaches (of any variety) just really aren't an acceptable thing to me!! There was absolutely NO warning about these things either! If anyone has any suggestions on diminishing these things, please feel free to share!!

We're in the same boat! My mother in law told me before moving here that we needed to get a bug guy scheduled to come regularly but didn't say anything else about it. I didn't take her too seriously because she has opinions about EVERYTHING. When we moved into our house everything was fine for about 6 months. We didn't even have spiders. No bug guy needed. Then we had a bunch of trees removed. I woke up one night to my worst nightmare. Only thing that has worked for us was having the exterminator come out monthly for a few months and sprinkling diatomaceous earth in places we've seen them and we know the kids can't reach. Now we have the exterminator out quarterly and we rarely see any.

Fed up with husband

I’m laid here typing this and I’m not sure if I’m more fuming or upset. We have a new baby who is 3 months old and an older child. It’s Easter Sunday and in a few hours the kids will be waking up. My husband thought it would be a great idea to arrange a meal out with his family and get absolutely shit faced. We eventually got home around half past midnight. I then had to put the kids to bed and sort out the egg hunt, all the Easter hunny stuff and blow up the balloons etc, bunny feet trail etc all alone. He went to bed and threw up all over the bathroom. I’ve just spent 20 minutes stripping the bed after he’s thrown up again in bed and then out the pissing window! It all down the side of the house, all over the outdoor window sill and down the kitchen window, window sill and outdoor sofa! I’m literally SEETHING!!!!!!!!! We’ve got people coming round at 10am and a roast dinner to cook.
Not sure why I’m posting. I think I just needed to vent. He’s been so pissing selfish!!!!!!

Boyfriend wants to stop my progress?

Doesn't want me traveling at night to go to the gym and even broke up with cause he feel I don't listen to his advice. I said I wanted to cook dinner and he refused saying he's good. Then we talk otp for like 40 mins and he's like if you wanna come then come now. Clearly just for sex and I want it but he only said that after I said I wanted to go gym

Am I in the wrong or my husband?

I want to start by saying that last year my baby was only about 4 months old, and we didn’t even go to my parents’ house for Easter. We went to his family’s celebration and then went straight home.

This year, it’s turned into a big argument. He wants to go to his family’s church—which I’ve never been to, and he hasn’t even gone to in the four years we’ve been together. I want to go to church with my sister and her husband, grab lunch with them afterward, go home so our toddler can take her nap, and then go to his family’s Easter, followed by my family’s.

He’s completely against that plan. He wants to either skip our toddler’s nap so we can be “on time” for his family’s Easter, or make me choose between going to church with my sister or going out to eat after—I can’t do both.

His family’s Easter is from 11–1, which is exactly during our toddler’s nap time. They’ve even been understanding and offered to do another egg hunt after her nap or whenever we arrive. But he’s still not willing to compromise.

Instead, he wants to go to his family’s church, skip going out to eat, put our toddler down an hour later than usual—or skip her nap entirely—and then go to his family’s Easter.

I feel like I’m the one trying to compromise so we can spend time with both sides of the family this year, especially mine.

Am I wrong here, or is he being unreasonable?

Lollll

Bd and I are splitting because he is never home and the first thing he tells me is that he wants our two kids throughout the week and I can see them on Saturday and Sunday. How??? You’re never home but now that we split you’re magically going to be home to take care of them?? 🤣🤣😭
