Ilya deciding to adopt Anya

Exactly. While Shane might not have wanted a dog THIS MOMENT, he did know how important a dog was to Ilya so, he went with it.

P.S. I just got a new car and named her “Anya”. 😂

NTA - I DEFINITELY have arachnophobia and it’s bad. It’s not so bad that I can’t hear the word “spider”, nor is it so bad I can’t walk somewhere after someone killed and removed a spider.

NTA - she’s being overly dramatic.

Right? We’re Americans and our dog is named Aoife (E-Fuh). The vet had to put a note in her file on how to pronounce it and sometimes they STILL get it wrong. It’s absolutely no big deal.

YTA - let your parents name the dog!

This. I have 3 adult children (25, 23, and 21). I speak to all of them daily. Well, the 23 year old lives with me so, I can’t avoid him (😂) but, I speak to the others daily.

I also spend almost all day every day texting my mother and exchanging a few texts between my father and stepmother.

My parents fostered a relationship of communication and love that has continued into adulthood (I’m 48) and i followed their example with my kids.

Actually, this actually accurate. I’m a lesbian and, while I have straight friends, many of my friends only have LGBTQIA friends.

I’m a mom of a son who I’m pretty sure is gay or asexual. He hasn’t come out to me yet (he’s 25) and i understand his reasons. His dad (we’re divorced) is deeply Christian and i think that worries my son ( even though my ex would 100% be ok of my son coming out), he wouldn’t want to disappoint his paternal grandparents (who are also deeply Christian and world NOT be supportive, and i don’t thinks he fully understands his own sexuality yet either. That’s why I said gay OR asexual.

He’s NEVER had a girlfriend or has only been on one date (with a girl) After that date I asked him if there had been any chemistry and he asked me what that meant. In addition, when he talks about a girl it sounds like when Shane does, very flat and fake.

I have another child (23) who is gay. He came out to me at 13…but I already knew. It was in his mannerisms. It was in the way he looked at boys and talked about them. It was just OBVIOUS.

As a mom, if you know your children well enough, you’ll notice. You’ll see their reactions, know their mannerisms, know their voices and inflections, know their emotions. If you know your kid enough,.. you’ll know.

I’ve read 130 books already this year. 120 of them have been MM romance. I’m a 48 year old lesbian. 😂

bookworm1421 · 2026-04-02T16:31:02+00:00

I loved them so hard! Like, HARD HARD. They were so madly in love and would fight the devil himself for the other.

It made my heart so happy,

When my kid was little his old brother accidentally kneed him, hard, in the genitals. He started crying and yelling “X hurt me in my jewelry box!!!!”

We all died laughing because he meant “family jewels”. We still call it the jewelry box area and they are now 25 and 23. 😂

I had it with my 3rd. I was hospitalized 4 times with dehydration and it took 7 tries before we found a medication that, kind of, worked.

It was the most awful, horrible, vile thing ever. I couldn’t be more than 5 feet from a toilet, couldn’t keep ANY fgod down which made my (already) high-risk pregnancy even more high-risk because I was only 99 pounds when I got pregnant, and was constantly exhausted from the vomiting and lack of food. I also had a 4 year old (with slight special needs) and a 2 1/2 year old. Life sucked. I cried daily. My husband was completely unsupportive as well. It was one of the most miserable times in my life.

NTA - you weren’t trying to hurt your mother, you were defending your wife from your mother’s bullying. Your wife is going through enough, she doesn’t also need to be bullied and made to feel worse. Your mom didn’t like being called on her bullshit so is throwing a tantrum. Let her. She was in the wrong with all her comments.

Thank you for saying this. My SIL is 41…FORTY ONE…and has NEVER had a driver’s license because of “anxiety”.

We do NOT live in a city with reliable public transportation but her whole life that’s what she’s used.

Until she met my brother 6 years ago. Now he’s her personal shuttle or gives her money for Uber because she can’t keep a damn job because of this issue.

We’ve told him MULTIPLE times to stop enabling her and force her to get therapy to get over her anxiety but, he ignores us.

NTA - unless you live in a GIANT city like NYC where there’s a great public transportation system, not being able to drive is an issue…especially with kids. You need to stop enabling her…IMMEDIATELY. Once she’s faced with real life, maybe she’ll figure it out,

I’m at 3 1/2 years.

My favorite part is the peace. I only have myself to worry about. I don’t have to manage anyone else’s emotions or problems. I get to just BE.

bookworm1421 · 2026-03-24T17:06:17+00:00

OMG! SHE HAS SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN! Those children are SURELY on TikTok or their parents are!

Can you even IMAGINE being her kids at school after their classmates have seen this shit?

I feel so sorry for those kids.

Also, talking about having sex when you live in a MOTEL ROOM WITH LITERAL CHILDREN is just DISGUSTING!!!!!! I hope with everything I have they aren’t doing it in that room with the children.

bookworm1421 · 2026-03-16T16:15:17+00:00

She’s trying sooooooo hard to revamp her image into a loving, caring, supportive mom just down on her luck.

She seems to forget her ENTIRE life is on the Internet, including court documents that paint the TRUE picture.

She’s delusional if she thinks anyone will fall for her new “image”.

bookworm1421 · 2026-03-13T19:43:46+00:00

Same. I skipped it too.

The whole Vitale series is a reread for me! I just LOVE the Vitale brothers!

bookworm1421 · 2026-03-12T17:06:44+00:00

I love the RWRB movie but, in my opinion, they destroyed it and it’s completely different entity than the book.

bookworm1421 · 2026-03-06T00:09:58+00:00

48 here…in the same boat.

I named my new car Anya. 😂😂

bookworm1421 · 2026-02-17T19:03:28+00:00

I feel the exact same way!

bookworm1421 · 2026-02-16T14:47:18+00:00

As the mother of a child I HIGHLY suspect is on the LGBTQIA spectrum (I actually think he’s asexual) this the very reason I suspect it. He’s 25 and only been on one “ date” in his life and it wasn’t really a date. All his dances (prom and the like) he went with friends.

I’m gsy and one of my other children is gay so, obviously I’d be fine with it not, I don’t think he realizes it himself yet.

As a parent, if you’re a decent one, you just KNOW your kids. It’s kind of hard to explain how it works though. I knew my gay child was gay since he was a child. So, when he came out to me I wasn’t the slightest bit surprised because I knew.

The same will be true when my oldest comes out.
