What is your definition of a low maintenance person?

[Bidin~Time]

Just wondering

 

[KingOrfeo]

A mummy.

 

[thør]

Light beer.

 

[yossi]

Someone who doesn't require a lot of stuff to be happy/content.

 

[Bidin~Time]

Part B: do you consider yourself low maintenance? why or why not?

Anyone who cleans space and/or fixes items that are broken that we share without DEMANDING that I share their personal value of urgency regarding said cleaning or fixing.

I'm perfectly fine if that lack of shared value means you don't want to live with me. Just save me the drama of escalating a difference in sanitation values into a moral crusade.

 

[LadyVer]

Not Trump.

 

[Bidin~Time]

A mummy.

prolly the ultimate but then most dead people are pretty low maintenance,aren't they?

 

[Bidin~Time]

Light beer.

???????

 

[thør]

???????

As opposed to, "I only drink blah, blah, blah"

Someone who can roll with the swells.

Someone who doesn't "expect".

Do youthin this comes naturally to some? or is a learned thing?

I think it's the sum of your upbringing. You are or you're not. Although, one can change.

If kids are encouraged to work for their extras, do they grow up to require more, or less, maintenance?

I have a nephew and niece that were high maintenance when they were young. They worked, but mommy spoiled their asses. The nephew is still high maintenance and won't eat many foods, like salmon, veggies, etc. Niece has grown up and has learned to try stuff. But, she's married and away from mama.

Working is good for kids. Just don't let them get away with shit.

My boys grew up and I never had to bail them out of jail, talk to some girl's angry dad, or make excuses for them. They are fine young men, making their way in the world.

I don't think it hurts kids a bit to earn the things they want.

I suppose the 'needy' gene either is or isn't.

Not if they have not been properly preserved.

Earning stuff is good for kids.

lol yes, that could be problematic

Did ya ever wonder if poor kids who have done well as adults are more or less needy than kids who started out on the well off end of the spectrum and were able to stay there?

 

[Bidin~Time]

btw, the impetus for this thread was the hubs asking if i would like to have a certain high-ish dollar item (to me anyway, prolly not to some of you high rollers out there). I told him it would be nice, but my life wouldn't come to a screeching halt if I never got it. His response was that that had been true of me about most anything for as long as he's known me.

I never thought we were poor when I was growing up. But we were definitely not well off. Dad worked 2 or 3 jobs. And, Mom worked once both us kids were in elementary school. We lived paycheck to paycheck. I worked hard and I figure that I am well off, now. And, I really don't need anything.

It was the mammoth, wasn't it.
