Oooh oooh , choose me!

Got married very early, still married many years later so I can say with confidence:

Better to marry late.

Got married at 23. With 10 years of hindsight, it was a pretty crazy move, but I’m happy we did. We’ve built a great life for ourselves together and really feel like life partners. End of day, I think the right time is when you’ve met the right person.

Listening to my single friends talk about dating sounds miserable at this point - lots of career goals / success disparity and resulting questions about motivation + the always ticking biological clock factor.

Been with my Fiancé now, for going on 9 years (dated 8). We were waiting since we started dating since we were very young and we didn’t have the funds to save for a wedding. I would rather have a nice one. Long story short waiting made us see every piece of each other, the peak’s, the lows, and how we reacted with each situation, and at the end of the day we realized we wanted each other as a forever partner. Marriage is much more than just love, make sure you see each side of them and want that as a partner!

Choose what’s best for both of you based on your circumstances (i.e., career, savings, goals). My wife and I married at 30, and it was, I think, a happy medium. Not too early but not too late.

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off. We plan on having kids within the next year or two, and it’s highly u likely that she’ll be able to keep her current gig. We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?

Our 5 month old started daycare about 5 weeks ago. We’ve already had to keep her home for 2.5 of those 5 weeks due to catching various illnesses (croup, rsv, brinchiolitis, etc). Both my wife and I have been sick most of that time as well (gotten it from the baby). Wife is thinking we get a full time nanny for the next 4 months to help the baby build antibodies. Cost aside, is this feasible / worthwhile to go thru the effort / finding the right fit, only for 4 months?

First time Dad and my 15 month old keeps running up the stairs at my in-laws place and they keep encouraging it. Stairs are almost 10 inches high with nothing underneath and I’m worried that he might slip and fall in between the stairs. My FIL is a bit of a know-it-all and keeps insisting it’s safe and I don’t agree. What do I do? Don’t want to fight the entire house full of people about this and kid enjoys it too much and cries a lot if I/we prevent him from climbing
