Wife Keep Putting This Tray On Our White Stairs. Dangerous

Wife Keep Putting This Tray On Our White Stairs. Dangerous

Ive told her to stop. She was gonna clean the toilet and thats very good and nice (putting stuff from the toilet room on the tray). But putting a tray like that with a house that has 3 kids i dont think its very safe. Its hard plastic so if somene steps on it ur gonna go sliding. Coming from upstairs its actually very hard to see the tray. Melds in very nicely.

    Eventually, you’ll have to talk to your partner about any issues you’re having, whether it’s a major disagreement or something smaller, like their slightly messy tendencies.

    No matter who you and your partner are, you can’t avoid open, honest, respectful, and empathetic communication if you want a happy and healthy relationship.

    It’s non-negotiable, unless you happen to be a mind reader. And as far as we know, the absolute majority of humankind can’t read minds, so you’ll have to have those awkward and essential conversations with your partner to get on the same page. It’s definitely worth the effort.

    In short, there’s no alternative to open and kind communication. It is absolutely critical to the success of any relationship.

    Problems start to pop up if you don’t (or no longer) feel comfortable communicating with your partner. It can lead to resentment, and it might damage your relationship.

    The fact of the matter is that none of us is perfect. We all have behavioral quirks and small habits that might annoy the people around us. And we all make mistakes, no matter how hard we might try to avoid them.

    The healthy thing to do is to accept your personal imperfections as well as your significant other’s. You can try reframing those slightly annoying habits as something endearing and unique instead.

    Housework and childcare are pretty big sources of conflict in romantic relationships. As reported by the Institute for Family Studies, a whopping 49% of American couples with kindergarten-age kids argue about chores and responsibilities.

    Furthermore, couples who argued about housework the most were less likely to be happy with the quality of their relationships.

    According to Investopedia, disagreements over money are a leading cause of conflict in relationships. These include different spending and saving priorities.

    However, you can avoid arguments and strengthen your relationship by setting clear financial rules, having a budget, being honest in financial matters, and working together on financial plans.

    My Girlfriend Insists On Keeping These Things In The Sink. (I Prefer To Keep Them Outside The Sink). A Minor Thing, But I Just Don't Understand

    Been dating an awesome woman for 4 months now. Past the honeymoon stage but definitely in love with each other, I learned that she thinks it's better to keep the dish soap and scrubber IN the sink, but I feel they get in the way--I like access to the WHOLE sink, and like to have the sink empty when it's not in use. Maybe I'm just too picky here, but I find her preference truly annoying, but in a cute way.

    Meanwhile, one recent study that looked at what makes relationships successful found that you should focus more on the dynamic between you and your partner and less on both of your personalities.

    In other words, how satisfied you feel that your significant other is with your relationship, and how appreciative you are of them, matters more than who either of you is, or if you check all of each other’s boxes.

    “When it comes to a satisfying relationship, the partnership you build is more important than the partner you pick,” the study’s lead author, Samantha Joel, told CNN.

    “It seems to me that the relationship is more than the sum of its parts. It’s that relationship dynamic itself, rather than the individuals who make up the relationship, that seems to be most important for relationship quality.”

    Spouse Left The Bathtub Running Unattended For 45 Minutes Yesterday

    She left the bathtub running, closed the door to deal with the kids and completely forgot about it. Apparently the upstairs bathroom was full of water leaking into the hallway, and it poured into the basement bathroom. Drop ceiling completely soaked but largely drained on the floor and into the sink. I stripped everything out, put in a dehumidifier, wiped everything down, mopped, and put in an industrial fan. Damage seems limited but I suppose we'll find out in a few days.

    We're a family of 4. It's the fact that we have 4 bags open at once! Like, no one looked to see if there was already a bag open and each opened a new one. As I mentioned in another post, I merged them all into two full bags and froze one of them. We usually have one bag going and the rest in the freezer, but as I was not involved in this week's grocery run, they all went into the pantry and none in the freezer.
