Gifts

Do you give gifts to someone who comes to your house the first time or gifts when you go to someone's house for the first time? Or both?

Views on a situation please!

So me and my partner have been together 6 years, engaged for 3, baby girl who is now 19 months old.

Living situation me and my daughter live with my parents but my partner lives on his RAF Base / his parents on a weekend when he comes home ( Friday to Sunday ).

We put an application form in for RAF Base Housing months ago. Nothing thinking we would be offered one due to not being married yet.

Yesterday ( Monday ) we got an email to say we have been offered a 3 Bed house. The only issue is we are currently in gloucester, but the house on the base we have been offered is 2 hours away from home / work / nurseries for me.

I’ve been wanting to leave my current job for a while now as it’s slowly just getting worse and enjoyable anymore.

I’ve told my parents and they’ve said there happy for me to move out the only concern they have is the distance off the house we have been offered which I completely agree with.

I don’t know how I feel about being that far away from my family…

What would you do in my situation?

I miss my husband

My husband and I have been together for 11 years and married for 5. He is my middle school sweetheart and the only boy I’ve ever dated. We had our son back in April. Since we’ve been married we’ve always had a good sex life, but since I got pregnant, it has changed a lot. I had a horrendous pregnancy so that was why we couldn’t do it much then. Now we’re just so busy taking care of the baby we don’t have time to spend together anymore. We haven’t had sex in almost 3 weeks. We can hardly even have a meal together at dinner because of the baby screaming. I can’t say enough good things about my husband as a husband and father. He is definitely not an issue here. He is absolutely amazing. I just miss us. I miss him even though we’re in the same house every day. Can someone please tell me it’s not always going to be this way and it gets better?

Looking for a friend 🩷

Hi! I’m 23 from north ga with a 5 year old girl.
Sahm/light part time work. I love coffee, fall, fuzzy blankets, crafts & my cat. Mostly a homebody but would love someone to talk to especially with my girl starting school soon.
Just looking for casual convo with common interests & maybe send TikToks lol

Am I being dramatic?

I had a fight with my baby daddy in which he took my 2 kids to his mom's house while I was at work & he said he "was not bringing them back" & that I can "visit". The following is a conversation I had with his mom. Am I in the wrong for wanting to keep my distance from her? For context, his mom is a heavy smoker (when we lived with her she never respected the fact that we had babies & would sometimes smoke weed inside.) She has a weird boyfriend that stalked her, hacked her phone, broke her windshield, slashed her tires & put a tracker in her car (he followed me to my mom's house with his best friend thinking I was her.) she lives at HIS house & she has always made her kids jealous of my babies (her daughter had a dream of killing my babies & just laughed it off when I asked if she would). Sorry this was long but I can also go into more details. My babies are 2 years and a 9 month old, exclusively breastfed & have NEVER slept away from me..

Hey!

I started working out today and looking for motivation to keep myself going! Or a workout partner which ever works 😊

Feeling Down

I am about to graduate with my associate’s this fall semester and transfer for my bachelor’s degree in the spring

but I’m feeling discouraged because I have been going to interviews looking for the right starting position and I’m just ready to get out of the house especially since my kids are all going to school? I am really gunning for this position at $22/hr that I would love and the director loved me, the manager, even the corporate manager!

they said they would get back to me regarding next steps today Monday 08/17 but they haven’t called or sent an email.. my husband said I should call them tomorrow? the job doesn’t start until september 1st and they even moved me to the 2nd round and asked if I was still interested

I do get discouraged because my husband makes like $45-$50/hr so i’m trying to build myself a career too? to be able to contribute
but either way I’ll finish my degree and if i do get the job it’s great but if i don’t it’s okay i guess?

😞 What should I do?
