Kinda rage bait. I’m a newish mom and verbalize when struggling. If he’s doesn’t know how to help, I direct him. I had to get comfortable with the fact that he would help in his own way and to not steamroll him as a parent just because I’m mom. But I ask if I need something; he’s not a mind reader or an asshole, he’s my partner.
I hope it gets better for anyone struggling like this. It’s tough.
It took me way longer to see it than I’m proud of…
Yet here I am putting myself on blast, hah.
If management keeps brushing you off…you could go more “Karen” on them or keep bugging them. You pay rent.
I’d keep it indirect especially if they seem like they don’t care; why bother talking directly with the neighbors which they could potentially see as confrontational. Personally I’d stop escalating with the music since it’s not working (they’re either unaware or are jerks). Make management deal with it.
Also keep complaining to management if they continue. Apartments I lived at had quiet hours in the contract; after so many complaints someone could get kicked out. Hopefully this is the case for you. Good luck. It’s a game of patience.
Looks like Richard Scarry.
It’s my kid’s first Christmas and I didn’t see the point but my spouse insisted…so the compromise was 2 discounted toys totaling $20 usd.
I grew up in a large family so we had shared gifts. I don’t know how to navigate this if I only have one without spoiling. It makes me slightly uncomfortable.
Could you imagine if this was filled with water 🤤
As kids, my brothers and I would wait for the public snowplow to clear the road and would dig tunnels in the piles they created…typical gross kids. We had to take our snow gear off at the entryway of the (military) housing unit we lived in so it didn’t matter. It was fun.
Anthony Bourdain would approve of this meme. RIP
Aggressively sings: “Don’t you wish your girlfriend was as hot like me? Don’t you wish your girlfriend was a FREAK like me?”
Or hungry infants or cats.
Yeah I was worried about spontaneous combustion in my sleep also. I wonder if those people were just smokers who dozed off with a cig in bed.
You articulated it perfectly. Partnership is collaborative. Our mindset is that we’re on the same team. We help each other to keep harmony so neither is overburdened. I’ll pass on that motherhood martyrdom bs, no thanks. This is a marathon, not a sprint. I value my partnership.
I appreciate your comment @Hacksaw@lemmy.ca
