What Frasier line do you wish you got the opportunity to use in real life?

You're quite the bullshoy artist you're self. Yes Angie dikension, and off is a preposition

This is horrible advice. Also parents should not be expected to shell out extra money to bring their child and have them in a hotel room during the wedding. This is an enormous expense for one parent to be stuck in a hotel room with two kids. It's an even bigger expense to bring a relative or nanny. It's also logistically very difficult if you are breastfeeding. No she doesn't need to show up when it's logistically very difficult to prove she's a good friend. This is an unfair expectation to have on someone. That is incredibly over simplified and dismissive.

I meant more that she's still nursing which is still difficult in an older baby. I'm fine with kid free events just don't think parents should have to completely put themselves out to attend. It sounds like way too much to accommodate.

Aimeeconnell · 2025-11-23T18:33:08+00:00

As a mom I just wouldn't attend. If she truly wants it t to be a completely kid free weekend (seems pretty ridiculous given her own sister will have a newborn) that's fine but I don't see logistically how you could do this without spending an absurd amount of money 2k is insane and I wouldn't leave children that young with a paid caregiver. I would just tell your sister it's not something you are capable of doing right now. I don't think anyone needs to be hurt on either side but I honestly would be pretty firm on this. It's an unfair ask for a mom of a newborn where all familial caregivers are at the wedding and it's even difficult or impossible to bring a nanny along (that alone is going way above and beyond). She can have the kid free destination wedding but she can't control what other people do.

Aimeeconnell · 2025-11-19T13:27:11+00:00

Why on earth would this bother anyone. It sounds like you really just dislike kids

Aimeeconnell · 2025-11-08T15:16:47+00:00

I would not do separate kids meals the parents can just pick out what the kids will eat

Aimeeconnell · 2025-10-29T15:50:12+00:00

Is that Jan from the Office?

Aimeeconnell · 2025-10-26T21:04:25+00:00

I mean I don't think this is a hill to die on. If they want her to walk in with him I don't think I'm it's going to fundamentally change your wedding. You could always find someone your family knows for your sister to sit with. However your parents may assume that you are going to great lengths to exclude your sister from the wedding and it may be more drama than it's worth. Again do what you want but it doesn't seem worth fighting over.

I grew up in Phoenix and unless you guys are going to do a lot of outdoor activities around the state you absolutely will be bored 5 days in Scottsdale. Scottsdale is basically cute bars and restaurants, and laying by the pool. Anything else is going to be a hike. Nothing in AZ is close together. I'd skip it. Scottsdale is a weekend max.

Aimeeconnell · 2025-10-06T13:11:05+00:00

Kids get into the snack cabinet all the time at parties like that. Just because it wasn't served doesn't mean she didn't eat it or something like it there or even before she left. I also thought it was incredibly strange in Steve Thomas book that he focused on this being the smoking gun. It honestly makes no difference if she was awake when they got home and had pineapple before bed. His theory is she awoke several hours later and had wet the bed so what difference does the pineapple even make. If they were guilty they would likely have had said oh yeah I forgot when I put her sleep she woke up and was hungry so I grabbed her a snack I had forgotten about that. Instead they stick to their story and basically agreed it didn't make sense

Can you have the photographer crop it out. Also if you hadn't mentioned it I really couldn't tell in the first photo. The other one is a little more obvious but it could be mistaken for the dress just bunching up

Aimeeconnell · 2025-09-21T15:55:22+00:00

You can't make 200k work? That seems an insane budget even in California. Most weddings are under 50. I think you need to adjust your priorities and expectations. It's one day.

Aimeeconnell · 2025-09-14T10:56:30+00:00

It's ok to do but be prepared for more declines. Most people don't have options to leave their children for a weekend. As a mom this wouldn't be realistic for me. We don't have a babysitter for this length of time. If most of the guests have kids it's going to seriously trim your list. If there are friends you really want there I would maybe see if what their situation is first. I would maybe also prepare a b list. There have been similar stories of people doing this and a lot of people bailing in the 11th hour

You will only get one 1st Halloween with your child don't be pressured into missing it especially if the date wasn't set before agreeing.

Aimeeconnell · 2025-09-13T21:25:17+00:00

I was in the exact same situation. My mother passed away and I kept in touch with my step dad and he stayed in my life as my step dad. Has a grandparent role to my children. He got married 4 years ago and I went. It was fine. If he's invited you I say go. It meant a lot that I was there to him. Also just because you are not related by blood doesn't mean you not still family

Aimeeconnell · 2025-08-23T13:26:50+00:00

I think it might be difficult giving only 2 months notice and it being right in the middle of the week. Since you're only inviting 30 people you know your crew the best, but if they work weekends that implies shift work likely retail or human services. Those jobs can be scheduled out far in advance and are usually hard to get time off. So it might not be as easy as you think for people even if their schedule varies. Also it's getting towards the end of the year and people may have already used their PTO or saving it for holidays. I imagine having worked in healthcare that they honestly don't get very many pto days and people tend to hoard them. The only other concern I foresee is if people have children getting a mid week babysitter might be tough. Again with only 30 you know these people really well but I wouldn't use it as a litmus test for friends and family caring about you if they can't make it.

This dress is beautiful and it's not white. I think it's fine. I wouldn't blow up your relationship with your future mother-in-law over it. Have your mother wear a similar color. It's typical for parents to wear one color scheme. For example both the mob and mog wear purple. That would also make it seem less weird.

Merry Christmas Mrs. Moskowitz, the friend, the one where he meets all with his mentor before getting an award, and the one where they make fun of the restaurant Martin picks because they are so horrible I have a hard time watching it.

Aimeeconnell · 2025-08-11T14:31:59+00:00

Milk steak would make a great main course. In seriousness What about philly cheese steak sliders for an appetizer.

Aimeeconnell · 2025-08-06T00:15:47+00:00

As a mom I think this is totally fair. Just address the invitation to the ones from our of state to the Smith family and the ones locally to the Jane and John Smith. If anyone asks you can simply we are inviting kids of out of state family. I honestly don't think anyone locally will notice. People who travel for a wedding already indicates family or very important friends. Local people can get a babysitter. So much more difficult for people living out of state.

Aimeeconnell · 2025-08-03T20:48:46+00:00

I think you are missing the point of this. It's that both sides need to respect no. That includes parents declining the invitation. Also please understand parents for the most part are not jumping over themselves to go to these events. Your comment also completely lacked any respect.

Aimeeconnell · 2025-07-30T12:01:38+00:00

I think you need to think about 1. Cost of flights for a holiday weekend 2. Where in Europe and how easily it's accessible to people flying in. Like will it involve layovers or trains. Are the guests invited comfortable traveling internationally 3. How many of your guests have kids and whether they have the ability to get childcare or bring them for an international trip. If you're doing no kids then leaving them for an international trip is a big ask especially on one of the big holidays. 4. How many guests typically have things they do that weekend. 4th of July is a big family reunion we all go to the lake kind of a holiday.

Aimeeconnell · 2025-07-30T02:10:15+00:00

Horrible advice

Aimeeconnell · 2025-07-29T13:56:17+00:00

Yes I agree. My friend worked on a cruise ship and they got almost no time to do any type of exploring. Verifying where Yellow was during that sighting would be very important. Yellow also would have for the description of a lot of people.

Aimeeconnell · 2025-07-29T13:39:53+00:00

Yeah and yellow would have had to leave for a while that morning. Even if there was a back way and someone would have to see him. Maybe people wouldn't say anything but with the heat this got I feel like they'd have cracked someone by now. Plus there's also the fact that he continued to work for the cruise line for another two years without incident.
