Yet another year pissed off that my ss15.5 has not bothered to buy a token present for my dh. I don’t expect anything for me or his baby half brother and sister here but i do expect for him to buy my oh something. He he worked for my oh last summer and earned enough for Ann iPhone plus gets pocket money. When we collected him yesterday he just talked about all the presents bm had got him. I mentioned last year he should start buying something small for his dad like a cup would prob cost a whole5 dollars.

Need advice to give good advice...

This one is for my friend. She’s with her fiancé 7 years and have two kids. Many don’t really like her fiancé due to things he has done to her in the past but she forgave him and went on to have two kids. He proposed when she got pregnant with ds1 3 years ago. She thinks deep down fiancé would have broken up with her if she hadn’t gotten pregnant. She really wanted to get married when she got pregnant with number 2. He keeps putting off the wedding saying he wants a big wedding because he had a hard childhood which he did. But they can’t afford it.

HOUSE A or HOUSE B?

Looking for some opinions that are not from people in real life...

Myself and dh are finally able to buy a house after years and years of saving a down payment while I went to
School. This has been a bad year for us so I’m really hoping 2018 will be our year!

We are stuck between two very different houses. Type A is only 12 years old. Has everything we have ever wanted in a house. But it is far away from work. Because it’s in the suburbs and many commute were prob talking at an hour each way. But it would need very little work done to it.

Feeling unloved

It's so simple.. I feel so never puts the effort in. Having two BMs is frustrating. We have ss12 every Saturday and Sunday, leaves very little time for couple time. On the off chance we had ss on Friday night instead. We hosted a dinner with ss and fil tonight. By the time so came home after dropping both ss and fil back it was 930. He came back in bad form and lasted one hour watching our favourite tv programme together and has left me at 1020 to go to bed. I'm so disappointed our first Saturday night together in as long as I can remember . Maybe years. It's frustrating and disappointing.
