Hi - I (32F) live rurally in the mountains and recently met one of our neighbors (we don’t have many.) I’ve lived here since August and haven’t really talked to anyone but her (55-65F) wheelchair died outside my fence and I ended up pushing her about 500 feet to her place which is down a long, uneven dirt road and then guide her down her driveway which slopes down it’s kind of dangerous. Her wheelchair is falling apart and in really bad condition and it doesn’t hold a charge.

She got stuck again yesterday and thankfully I saw her and so I pushed her home again. I saw her today and she was using her walker literally only using one leg because her other leg is bent completely sideways.

It all comes down to I feel so bad for her and want to help her. I figure she qualifies for Medicaid and I could possibly get a new one but I don’t want to be rude or nosy.

What would you want from someone? She rents a room in a really shitty house down the street. I’d offer her help during the day but I have two small children I stay home with and one is still a baby.

I just recently met a neighbor who has a really power wheel chair that dies even after charging. She rents a room at a pretty shitty house in my neighborhood. How can I help her? What would you want?

The reason I ask is because her wheel chair died outside my house and I pushed her home, that’s how I met her. She had a long extension cord outside her place to plug in but she said it had already been charged and died anyway. I want to help her and honestly we don’t have a ton of money but I can still help.

THAT YOU STILL GOT IT lmao

My husband struggled with addiction since he was 15 and he’s 38 now. He had been sober for 3 years when we met and continued to be until after we had kids. He now drinks (his former drug of choice was both meth and heroin), he got clean from drugs through the Salvation Army but now alcohol is causing problems.

Last night he came home drunk and as soon as I called him out he became nasty with me and told our 4yo “mommy wants daddy to leave.” It was such a gut punch because:

1. She should not have any idea of any of our issues at this age and

2. He brought me right back to my childhood and being in the middle of my parents issues. I don’t even have a relationship with my parents because of how toxic they are both alone and together. Neither of their daughters speak to them because of this.

I feel like a hypocrite exposing my children to this. I made him leave but I am a stay at home mom and we depend on his income.

During fights (especially if he’s drunk) he will say things like “your life is so easy” “you don’t have to go to work everyday” “I should stay home and you go find a job” but when he’s sober and clear minded he remembers that I am with our children 24/7, I am also currently breastfeeding our 10 month old. He also knows in his heart how hard it is to be with kids constantly as he gets overstimulated by ours within hours of being home.

I don’t know what to do. It feels like he continues to disrespect me without changing. He risks getting a DUI or killing someone every time he drives drunk which seems to be often.

Husband came home drunk for the third time in a week. He almost got a DUI a couple of months ago and somehow got out of it, got a ride home from the sheriff.

I called him out about being drunk when he got home and immediately started screaming and being a psycho. I’m sure he would’ve been happy as a clam if I pretended I didn’t know. He started screaming that I don’t care about him, he should be the stay at home parent and I can “figure it out.”

We have two small kids 10 months old and almost 5. He told our oldest “mommy wants daddy to leave” insane to say that to our child. He kept going on and on so I told him to be gone when I get home and I took them to watch a baseball game at the school nearby.

I get home and his cousin had called me and let me know he was driving the 6 hours to his house to sober up. Now husband is texting me “let the girls know I love them in case I crash”

I’m so tired. I care so much and I do everything for him. It’s never enough. I feel like I shouldn’t have made him leave but he was being such an asshole in front of our kids and I just wanted him gone. We live rurally and the girls and I have nowhere to go or else we would’ve left.

Basically the title

I don’t tell her anything but if she senses that I’m extra exhausted, upset or unhappy, I swear it makes her beam. As soon as I have good news or am noticeably in a better place, she gets so irritated and almost wants to humble me?

I’ve noticed this with other miserable people too but I just thought you’d WANT the mother of your grandkids to be happy? So bizarre. We rarely see them because of a multitude of reasons.

My first two are exactly 4 years apart and I’d like to try for a smaller gap this time. My first two are almost 5yo and 1yo.

How is life with 3 kids?
