My H and I went from a 900sq ft house to a 3000+, needless to say we had NO furniture. An interior designer friend finished up a job and sent all the clients old furniture to our house. My confession; my home is furnished almost completely with used furniture.

They have the best breakfast sandwiches. The coffee is drinkable, so sometimes I will overlook it for an Impossible sausage egg and cheese and croissant.

Two today. First one: The dark circles under my eyes have gotten so bad that I did my concealer this morning even though I'm still WFH. I can't stand to see them. Second is weird and random and popped into my head last night. I don't have any pictures of my high school or college graduations, and I find myself resenting my family a little for that. I think they were taken at my high school graduation but the film didn't develop correctly, so I guess that one I can't be mad. I don't think anyone took them at my college graduation, though. It's a dumb thing about which to be annoyed, but still. I don’t have any either and wish I did too. I either couldn’t go or no one took pictures. We also lost most of our family photos because my mom couldn’t afford the storage unit we were using so it was auctioned off. I take lots of pics of my kids as a result.

I only read the first page but my favorite thing to do is give away furniture and toys we don't want anymore. Last week, I gave away a solid oak dresser/mirror set that I had refurbished and a massive bookshelf that was only a few years old. I teach in a school that has a 95% poverty rate and live fairly close to the school, so most of our students never have anything "nice" in their homes. Please don't purposely break furniture even if you think it's junk. It can always be used for something or fixed. 🙂 Particle board is really low quality, in the sense it breaks down super easy and then becomes unusable. No one here is sledge hammering solid oak furniture to buy a new set. I assume not at least.

I don't understand the concept of waiting for my H to do something. If I feel strongly about wanting to change something earlier, then we talk about it. My H is unlikely to dig in on something like this though. Same. I'm not burning it down over the breaking, I just don't understand it. If you want to get new stuff sooner and can afford it then just... Do so? I just buy things and then pretend that I don’t remember when I bought it 🥴🥴 Like oh that new thing? Oh damn when did I buy it. Then he laughs. Shakes his head and tease me about it for a few days

My H (not a plumber) installed a bidet a month or so ago that I HATED. When he installed it he flooded the bathroom and part of our bedroom and I told him maybe he should get a professional and he got all pissy and offended.
I purposely would use the hall bathroom because it sucked so bad. It had a seat warmer (do not like), the bidet never sprayed right, it was always blocking and I couldn’t plunge it because it had this weird lever thing that blocked the exit pipe. H also was frustrated that it kept breaking but was too proud to admit it remove it because he put it in.
We had our bffs (in our bubble) over and I made MANY JOKES about the garbage bidet.
I have a new toilet now. H says it can flush a whole bucket of golf balls.

That parking spot has a lot of power, apparently. Is someone else in charge when the boss gets a ride to work and the spot is empty? It is so obnoxious. I've wanted to do it for a while just to fuck with him, but I finally pulled the trigger today. My spot is literally two spots over. Why it even matters I have no idea. Work parking spots are BFDs, I've found especially to older white people. It's a phenomenon, & if any of y'all ever see me on here bitching about somebody taking my spot, please check me on it

I'm laughing at the "so this is what we've decided to glom on to." So this is what we've decided to be contrary and breezy about. The board cycle is complete. Also, acting like we're the weird ones has only led to further discussion as we try to explain how the words were tangled. So. Yeah pretty sure the reaction was to breaking something instead of saying "we're replacing this now," but the breezy will breeze.

I know getting over it would have been the appropriate thing to do, but sometimes you need a hobby. I look forward to the pandemic ending for many reason, including the return of our fight for honor.

DS2 is currently using my great grandmother’s dresser that came over from France. It’s beautiful, but the most impractical piece of storage furniture I’ve ever seen. You can fit maybe 3 toddler shirts in all but 2 drawers. But I can’t part with it. So it shall remain forever.

No shame in that game. My husband works for a municipality and has to work at the dump once a month. He’s brought home like new snow blowers, weed whackers, etc that just needed a simple and cheap repair. It’s also a running joke that anytime there’s a metal shepherds hook thrown out he adds that to my collection and I now spend a small fortune on hanging baskets each spring. 😂😂😂 my nicest stuff is from the dump (or stuff I was asked to take to the dump while working for people). Including a Miele vacuum that didn’t even need to be repaired. Is that unethical? If you’re asked to throw out something and you take it home instead? I’m a solid no. Listen... I can’t make it to the dump today... and I have this vacuum......

boycebear does your H think it just snapped on it’s own? I want to know your level of sneakiness. He did for about 24 hours, I fesed up when the new stuff was on its way. He's not mad, he had like 10 seconds being a little pissed, but he knows it would've took ages too, he knows himself.

I have gone through periods of believing that something was not quite right, specifically that my father was not my father. I spoke of it often until my sisters informed me that essentially I was calling my mother a whore. Their words. Now I just keep my thoughts silent.

Oh I just realized i lied. We still have the new TV in the box because MH won’t set it up until I tell him the price 😒. And I don’t want to set it up myself. And i fee he needs to mind his business 🤷🏾♀️ When stubborn hits lazy.
*he’s also not truly mad otherwise TV would’ve been returned.

Share with the class please! Signed, someone who had to ask her little cousins what GOAT meant. Per dictonary.com We want all the smoke is a hip-hop phrase used by a member of a group to signal they are ready to battle. It originally referred to gun battles but is now used of friendlier challenges. I had never seen this phrase until now and assumed it was about weed. Thank you for clarifying.

I don't understand why you would break it. If you were already planning to get something new just do that. What is the point in breaking it? To push the deadline forward. Left upto dh we would've been waiting another year, that was not the plan. I would address what you can't assert yourself and just order or buy the shit you want. VS breaking something to push up buying new ones. It just sounds silly. Unless you're happy with that established dynamic.

I purposely broke our old wardrobes last week so I could buy new ones. They were 10 years old and ikeas cheapest so they were shitty and starting to break down anyway, but yeah. So when I read this, I was thinking wardrobe like a set of clothes and could not figure out how the hell you could break clothes. Then it clicked. Yeah, I think you call them closets? I do try to be aware of the difference, but sometimes it slips... And sometimes I just can't be bothered lol.

Rusty Red on the same page, I have so few pics of me pregnant (maybe two each time, and the mirror belly pics) and I'm mad about it. And now that the kids are here, it's the same. My H just won't take pictures. I've asked him so many times to please snap photos of me with my kids. Esp when we're doing things together. And it never happens. It's a point of resentment I bring up often. I am constantly taking pics of them all together, that he will cherish when our children are older and out of the house. I will have a few awkward selfies that I had to take myself. This reminds me to talk to him about it again.
