@olaitan I drive a Toyota that's over 10 years old, that I bought used, and got a discount because it is a weird color.

@jamesmason10 Although it is *absolutely* true that most people can't spare a whole salary, it is also true that a lot of times, we find a way. Because we get divorced. And then we have to run a household on a single salary. Often, removing a dangerously incompetent person from the...

@rubbles Hire a housekeeper or house manager, and spend his salary on it. That way, you don't have him as an incompetent stay at home husband, and you have outsourced managing his behavior to his boss. Also, send him back to the store for the return of the formula. He can take a photo of the...

@pattimayo Talk to your doctor. They will probably tell you not to do that

@lakatide Ok, but you can understand my confusion. Since the title of your post is, "I want my 17 year old daughter out of my house". Throwing her out will not make her love herself. Throwing her out will make her dig down in a certain sense, but not in the way you want. Throwing her...

@lakatide I don't understand. She's not pregnant, and she hasn't harmed you or her sister. Why are you considering throwing her out. It's both illegal and immoral. If you think she is hanging around with the wrong people, how do you think that throwing her out like garbage (literally packing...

@chillcwill You're comparing it against the wrong thing. You are receiving financial benefits above and beyond your salary -- health insurance (some of which is probably covered by your employer), 401k matching, whatever other benefits there are. You don't say what your job is. There are...

@rms13 This is not normal. This is physical and emotional abuse. Where is your mom in all this? Your dad? Any other family nearby? If it feels safe to you, you can talk to your school counselor about exactly what is happening at home

@goldensleather It sounds like your husband has never lived as a single adult. He doesn't know how. He needs therapy or a career coach. There are lots of paths to different kinds of medical work other than going back to medical school. He could pursue nursing, physicians assistant, or even...

@activewear This. OP: working part time is *not* "stay at home mom". That's doing shift work to accommodate your spouse's career. Please be clear that you are committing to far more than full-time work in this plan. When the baby wakes in the middle of the night, who will care for it? When...

@sandgroper101 Suppose that OP talked with his ex, and his ex said, "no, absolutely not, do not give condoms to our daughter." Then what? I think OP probably threaded the needle better by setting himself up to ask forgiveness rather than asking permission. Edited to add: I know it is scary...

@deanerenata32 Your kid trusted you enough to ask for help with getting protection. You would have broken that trust if you had talked to your ex about it. Does your ex *really* think that you would have stopped the teenagers from having sex by denying them condoms? Because the evidence...
