It sounds like it's the weekend for home problems and repairs. We just realized a couple days ago that our dishwasher was broken and leaking through the floor, and then last night H realized our sump pump wasn't working correctly. When he tried to fix it, he either found some other problems and/or broke it even further (not really sure...) but now we need to get a new sump pump too. Luckily those are only $100ish and H can put the new one in himself, but it feels like one thing after another is going wrong with our house!
Yeah we couldn't not at least get thst fixed but with H having an all day class today and doing respite with two kids we decided on waiting on pulling out the dishwasher and trying to fix it. And having to then go get parts, etc. Hand washing is easier until tomorrow night or Monday night
I didn't realize you were doing respite again. Is it the same two?

When it rains it pours with houses.
Last spring we just wanted our living room flooring replaced with laminate. Thousands later we ended up with new flooring in the living room and in the bathroom and some other needed repairs. 😩 Pretty sure my bank account is still crying

Sorry for all the homeowner issues! I'm dreading thinking about what we may need to do before selling this place next year.
I had a lovely massage earlier and went shopping. H and I are supposed to stay in for a date night but I am exhausted and might see if we can move it to tomorrow. bex15, I had a me-night in last night and it was splendid, enjoy yours!

alwayscheese I was talking about how I was overwhelmed and unsure how I was going to handle another child and the other person agreed. It just felt like confirmation that I shouldn't be having another.
@led I have SPD (sensory processing disorder), anxiety and I'm a perfectionist. So basically I can't handle chaos/noise/huge messes/the anxiety that comes with having kids. I just shut down. And shut down mode is not good parenting. And if I can't shut down I get too upset to deal with situations calmly. It's not good.
All your home owner problems are reminding me why I rent. Sorry so many of you are having problems.
I honestly can not wait to sell our house and go back to renting. There are pros and cons to both I've found but I hate all the random shit that breaks.

robotpcr it's ok, I do okay when I have the house on a good schedule and all. But when life throws a wrench in my schedule I don't do so well. I know I need to make sure I have coping mechanisms in place for when those disruptions ultimately come. I'm working on that. I had thought (prior to having children) that I no longer had the battles with SPD to contend with, I hadn't realized that I was shutting out whatever was bothering me. Now I know that but I haven't quite found a new was to cope since.
I think I'm making tacos for dinner. Either that or fish sandwiches. Can't decide what sounds better. Well, tacos sound better, but fish sandwiches are easier and less dishes.

I feel ya, I have a severe MI and it's its own can of worms. I'm sorry you have to deal with all that.

So I fixed the toilet ... for now. We still need someone to come look at it but at least don't have to pay more for someone to come out on the weekend!
I really love our house, the property, and the location. But I hate the age. I am seriously thinking about researching buying land and building. I'd love to have a house that is 1) NEW and 2) has exactly what we want. We want to fix up this house but I have a feeling when we start ripping things apart we will find more issues and it will cost more to fix things than anticipated. It is frustrating.
