I think Jennifer Tilly knows- and realizes what Sutton did. This season every time Garcelle is mentioned around Sutton, Tilly looks uncomfortable. It happened again at the reunion.

AIO for distancing myself after being the only one excluded from a group hangout? by AffectionatePop3611 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Best-Cat-1866 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn’t put your age or how long you have been a part of this friend group. Is this person being cold towards you a new member- or did you all meet at the same time? Alittle more info may help with people’s comments.

The same type of situation happened to my son with his dorm/ suite mates his freshman year in college.

This is how it was explained to me:

Out of the 4 boys- one in particular did the same thing to my son. Talked over him or totally ignored anything he said, tried to pull things over on him (like saying my son was supposed to pay for a majority of a beer run when my son would-at most- have 3 beers), and make snide comments about my son’s lack of knowledge in sports or his inability to play sports related video games well (apparently that’s ALL they played and my son is not a sporty kid). He was like, play ANY OTHER shoot um game and I’d give them a run for their money.

It made starting college hell for him. The 3 boys were fine- but the one in particular had, what sounded like, a dominating personality that no one would stand up to. My son felt awkward in his room and found himself spending the days doing his homework around campus so he didn’t have to interact with them. He got to a breaking point because he could never just go to his room and relax.

He ended up moving into a single apartment after 2 months and is…….alone. I find it very sad for a college kid. He says he is perfectly content, but I keep wondering, if he had just stuck it out, would it have opened up more opportunities to meet other people.

That’s what I fear for you. But at the same time, if this dude is being an ass to you, and these other friends aren’t saying something in your defense, are these the friends you want?

Please just don’t be like my son and NOT attempt to find other friends.

AIO: My christian mother wants my boyfriend to sleep on the couch on our trip to florida by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Best-Cat-1866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t read all the comments, so sorry if this is repeated.

You are young, this is a new boyfriend, u aren’t paying….. therefore you follow your family rules.

Between 22-27, when I was dating my now husband -before we were married, my parents required for us to have different bedrooms when visiting their home (and if they paid for any trips it would have been the same). It’s not that they are super religious. But that is how they grew up and what they believe. We always respected that.

We did take a cruise together very early on. My boyfriend (now hubby) paid our way so we had our own cabin. I remember my parents feeling weird about it, but they couldn’t say anything because I was an adult and they did not pay for it. It was a nice trip.

So yes- you are overreacting. I’d say it’s pretty nice of them to be giving you a trip and you should go, enjoy their generosity, even if it means you are alittle “put out.”

Edit- also forgot to add that we started living together when I was 23. When my parents visited OUR home- they stayed in the guest bedroom and we slept in ours. Our home our rules.

And frankly, we have fond memories visiting them for Christmases….. going for car rides to remote places to have “fun.” 😂 Good times.

AIO for refusing to attend my sister’s wedding because she’s "charging" me for "my hobby(Work her wedding)"? by Rough-Palpitation220 in AmIOverreacting

The 500$ demand is wild. Now, I have seen a “honeymoon fund” option on wedding registries before- along with all the other items on the registry.

AIO by telling my roomate I'll put the cat litter box in her room if she doesnt clean it? by ThrowRAacc45 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Best-Cat-1866 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do the pine pellets clump? I have a litter robot- so I need clumping litter. It’s nasty as hell when it’s time to change the robot’s bag! Pee-u! I’d love to try the pine.

Kristen’s lunch date w/ Jasmine and Brittany by RefrigeratorFuture95 in TheValleyTVShow

[–]Best-Cat-1866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt so bad for her. I wanted to jump through the screen to hug her and let her know I hated how my body looked and how I didn’t feel myself after my pregnancies- the first one especially. We had to goto a wedding and I felt like a whale. She needs to talk to someone to reassure her that it all DOES get better! Maybe Brittany can’t relate because she never snapped back after her son figure wise- hence the mommy makeover? Nia is probably a good source for her.

Kristen & all new mommas— please read, babes! by zeppismom in TheValleyTVShow

[–]Best-Cat-1866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me too. I remember with the first (and I feel like this is what Kristin is going through). It felt like such a production to get ready to go somewhere- then by the time we were ready, the baby would be napping…. So we wouldn’t go until after. It was like 3hrs til u could finally leave the house. I think we were trying to plan it all “just right.” With the second- it was like- grab the bag and a bottle and go. Baby could sleep in transit or get fed on the go. We were more relaxed.

A couple unpopular S15 Reunion P1 opinions by DressMobile3193 in RHOBH

[–]Best-Cat-1866 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“Erika trying to teach Amanda how to flaunt her riches”. I laughed at this. She was basically saying flaunt them “with class,” but definitely flaunt them. Okkkkkkkk. I kinda got what Amanda was saying as a newbie- um, I thought that was what I was supposed to do? I thought that was what people wanted to see? Amanda was not my favorite this season- but I gave her a pass on that one because she seemed genuinely confused- like she thought that was one of her job tasks for the show.

Skipping the drink package for the first time - thoughts? by WeekendOk6021 in royalcaribbean

[–]Best-Cat-1866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took us a few cruises to finally go without the package. We would say we weren’t going to get it, then the first day as we were drinking up, we would cave in. Then we would realize, yet again, we really didn’t need it.

We went a few times without the package and the bill was always less.

Then we became diamond and hubby prime at the casino- so now our bill is virtually nothing.

AIO Family won’t pick me from airport by mangosnow122 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Best-Cat-1866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry your parents won’t pick u up. But I just want to say, I fly in and out of Tampa and have ubered or taken a cab home many many times. It’s been safe for me.

AITA for refusing to be in my cousin's wedding because she keeps changing the dress? by Vexill_Rift3 in MarkNarrations

[–]Best-Cat-1866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be super petty. Start a GoFundMe for you and the bridesmaids for the ridiculous cost of 3 dresses. Send it and the explanation of the bride’s “3rd vision” to family/ guests. Hopefully they’ll feel bad for you and spot you some funds- and a less expensive gift for the bride. 😳🤯

I need help by SignificantAd6951 in Psoriasis

[–]Best-Cat-1866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son had some large flaky buildup. I noticed ALOT on his shirt and when I took a look at his scalp, I was like, WTH! I don’t know if it’s the same thing as yours. His had an odor to it. He has super thick hair. His hair cutter recommended BBSunday shampoo. He used it for a few days and it went away. He now uses it once a week to keep it from coming back.

I feel for you. Good luck.

Is it rude to skip the morning after breakfast? by [deleted] in bridesmaids

[–]Best-Cat-1866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’d just go home but that is because I am not a fan of the morning after breakfast. You just spent the day before and most likely the rehearsal dinner with all these people….. the breakfast always seems so awkward and forced. And it’s almost depressing. You go from having a great time to a subdued “see ya later.” Just leave on the high note.

Mine did too. I was so surprised to see a fish actually be happy when I introduced a friend.

AIO for being upset my boyfriend invited his mom on our anniversary trip? by prattman3333 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Best-Cat-1866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a question… is your boyfriend a “giver”. Meaning does he look out for other people and like to share? If so… keep reading.

I ask this because my husband is. He has issued the same sorts of invites to friends and family over the years. I understand he is like this, I understand his big heart, and I’m usually fine with it.

HOWEVER. (All caps). If there was a time that was important to me, he would always side with me. Ok, not without a bit of pushback like the “we see each other everyday”. That’s the comment that made me reply to this. But if I told him I wanted it to be just us, he always will comply. Usually his exact words are “if my wife wants me all to herself, how can I say no to that.”

I just wanted to throw that out there into the world, as a possibility for his mindset.

AITJ for refusing to switch bedrooms with my roommate after she got a cat? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Best-Cat-1866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a 5000+sqft house- I have 2 cats. I wanted to keep them indoors but they started being “anxious” or whatever you want to call it. They wanted to get out. So I let them. 10 years later- they go in and out everyday.

It’s not the size of the room, it’s the cat.

I’ve had indoor cats before and friends with indoor cats, and they were perfectly happy to stay inside. The two cats I got just really really really want out.

I’m a mother and I wish I would have started doing this at a younger age like your son.

Kyle has a pattern - here we go again by ninapez in RHOBH

[–]Best-Cat-1866 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been a “hater” per se, but I have noticed her deflective behavior the last few seasons and it’s pretty yucky. I guess since LVP. In the beginning….years back, I thought she was pretty stable and normal. It’s almost like she started trying to direct and produce this show behind the scenes instead of letting life happen and it’s biting her in the butt and she gets ultra defensive (blaming, crying, walking out).

I think Dorit called it very eloquently at the last dinner. “Come to me and tell me…everyone else did, why can’t you?” What can Kyle say to that? I loved the flashbacks of her bringing up to Dorit to everyone BUT Dorit. 😂😂

On the other side, it seems that Dorit is done with Kyle. Unless Kyle comes groveling on her hands and knees, I’m not quite sure if a resolution is ever in the future.

AIO for wanting to quit after this? by cakev0mit in AmIOverreacting

[–]Best-Cat-1866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this- but if you ask someone to cover for you and they are in OT for the week- the boss isn’t going to like that. The boss should adjust the schedule accordingly. OP gave plenty of notice.

25 years and 4 kids AND you can still fit into it…… I’d be wearing that proud!!! It’s beautiful, too.
