We are taking my parents and my in laws on vacation to an all inclusive for a week. They are each paying $1000 a person, my spouse and I are supplementing the rest - $1500 per person, so well over half. My in laws just asked for a $1000 total upgrade to ocean front room. We made the initial payment. They have not given us the $2000, credit card due in 3 weeks.

TIA!

How often do you and your SO text/talk during the days you’re not together? My bf has a pretty busy job so we don’t really communicate during the day, but when it gets to be like 8pm and I haven’t heard from him at all it bothers me. Is that wrong? And how would you communicate to them that you want a bit more check-in/form of communication without coming off as needy

My options are 1) wait it out where I am in hopes to switch to L&E or 2) in house oil and gas industry transactional work. What would you do and why? I figured this bowl being specific to Texas would understand importance of oil and gas industry.

Online dating apps are a mess 🤢

Me and my partner are not sure whether we want to have kids . Sometimes we want to and the next day we are completely against the idea . The reason we want to have kids is that we want to grow our inner circle , have more people in this world who we can call our family. And we don’t want to have kids is that it will put extra pressure on us , less freedom for next 10-15 years. Wanted to understand why people have kids or don’t have kids . Please share your thoughts :)

When I woke up on the floor, my coworker told me I was out for 3 mins. The manager was belittling the situation and threatening my position
