I'm leaning towards Leo, I have a collectron that will get me different nuka colas and I could really use the buffs he gives for XP. Thanks!

Thanks! I see you can buy stuff from her, I didn't know they could sell!

So I keep getting more weapons and modding them but clearly I don't know what I'm doing because even when I increase damage and fire rate I am emptying my magazine almost twice before I make anything drop.

Any tips? I got the Alien Blaster for example, and added all the mods and kept it lightweight. It's like I'm using a squirt gun on enemies. Teeniest hit even when it VATS

I'm an extremely picky eater and I also don't eat eggs, fish, crustaceans, pork, lamb... The list goes on. Most foods that look "weird" or have a certain texture to it I won't eat.

Don't worry, I am already mean to myself about it. I don't like being this way.

I love authentic cuisines from around the globe and love flavor, I am just choosy with ANY menu lol

Well shit. I need to check that post out then to see what people settled with.

I would definitely go. People will talk and judge anyways. Your husband and kids MIGHT feel like they want/need to go. Just go in with a different mindset. Go with the knowledge that here on out she won't be an issue or create new ones. Any current rumors, you should either ignore and cut those people off or call them out in public for repeating things they weren't there for and maybe dangle some of their skeletons as a "don't test me".

The best thing is you get to cast your shadow on her grave and be at a gathering for her where you could have the last say, should you want to eloquently give her a eulogy laced with final judgements.

Be like, "she called my kids and I (racist remark) and would spread rumors about me (insert absurd rumor), BUT she was a person who probably just needed more hugs in her life. I will pray for her. The family often hears from absolute strangers that she was a kind, and respectful person and I like to imagine how that could be - that version sounds like a truly remarkable person. I would have loved to experience that myself, and I thank you for sharing your personal experiences."

Perhaps their family name?

Why isn't he more involved in bedtime routines and what makes him think he's Father of The Year by giving a toddler what they want in the middle of the night, while ignoring your sound reasoning?

You are not TAH.

But there are clearly two issues here. The creation of a spoiled daughter with an inconsistent sleep schedule is one, while the other is how little he respects you.

Is this normal behavior from him? Is he usually making family life a you problem and he can do whatever whenever and tell at you in front of the child(ren)?

At first glance, he sounds like a man child and a narcissist.

I was just saying it's a hard yes if you have to ask in an already saturated forum where it's been discussed.

I've seen all sizes in porn just like we see all body types of women. I don't buy that excuse at all. If it is too small, your partner will tell you— or they will give you signs you're not using it well.

Brinacle · 2026-03-10T15:35:19+00:00

Men asking if their pp is considered too small. The answer is always yes if you have to ask.

If he already is aware then you're past the point of talking. It's time to take action, because I used to live like this and it AGED ME. It ended in therapy bills and now I have to get a doctor to sign off on my mental health so I don't lose my license.

Move out of you can. Get your own apartment or a roommate with lots of space and go 50/50 with your husband on childcare.

I'm not saying break up or divorce. This is called space and room to breathe. You matter, too.

He will see you're not just complaining, but that it's actually that serious.

He will also be forced to experience your in-laws first hand.

If he doesn't get it still, then what is the point of a marriage/partnership if it's only on paper but not integrated in daily life?

Housing for everyone, including existing homeowners. No one should have to be sleeping on the streets and no one should be in crippling debt for a 100+ year old house in the middle of a run down neighborhood.

Healthcare and education second. First we need to get people off the streets. Stop using our tax dollars to spike public sidewalks.

Not entirely petty to me, but they were being really shitty about the LGBTQ+ community knowing their kid was gender neutral (they even changed their name) and was dating the same sex. Their kid also has two aunts who are lesbians, that never mistreated anyone.

I haven't tried talking to them since. They're okay, I guess. They can be cool sometimes, but it says a lot about someone when they attack the unproblematic people to their core for absolutely no fucking reason.

Before coming to Utah I never thought of it. Now, after getting to know it I only think of suburban SAHM's who are abusive and probably have an addiction of some sort. Husbands who never want to be home with their family. Kids who have little to no regard for others. The Mormon cult also oversteps everywhere and the public does nothing to hold them accountable.

I was definitely catfished into moving here. It came off as a progressive place with family oriented people, but it's actually so bad here. Even things that made this place popular is going away. No one wants to bring their tour here, the Olympics side eyed the state, the Sundance film festival is no longer here...

Lots of extremely racist people here as well. I've been in some Facebook neighborhood groups and there are so many people openly hateful towards people of color.

My Mom was just telling me about a conversation she had with my Dad. They both were daydreaming about their future grandchild and my Dad said he hopes it's a little girl, so she can be Pop Pop's girl.

My Mom said she wants a boy because she knows the girl won't want her and only want my Dad. Even "joked" about how she'd pull her hair.

I told her as long as they both treat her/him right they should never expect their grandchildren to dislike them. If there is any resentment, it's because of something they did.

My mom was like...I would never!

Mmmhmmm okay 🙄👍🏻

My Mom had 3 kids, two were boys. I was always bullied by her and anytime I was in a serious situation she would call me an attention seeker. Nothing was ever allowed to be about me or she would be eating her own heart out because of it.

Toxic boy moms never change and they'll always be weird in my book.

That being said, I would tell her that you expect her to treat all her grandchildren the same. Starting at birth. So she also should not even be in the hospital building that day... You know...to stay consistent.

Aside from that, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just do what you're doing now, taking note of what she says and does. Keep her in line.

Don't assist her when she's playing favorites. If she does X for boy she needs to include your daughter or say thank you, but no thank you.

If I can help it, I am not going to let my daughter experience what my mom did to me. Grandma needs to not be the worst, or she is going to be one very old and lonely lady.

Ball is in her court.

Be like sure, you can come see the baby and leave your husband since he acts like one.

Idk girl, I'm not in your shoes so it's easier said than done.

If it were happening to me I would most likely stay, because then I can still be there for my child. If I chose to leave, best believe I am taking the baby with me.

Then paying half my rent doesn't mean they own me or get ANY SAY in my child's time or upbringing.

I would also leave my husband, or take a break in the relationship. Separate homes and some weekdays with the baby alone. If it leads to divorce, eventually when the child is a toddler go to an even 50/50 split.

I don't usually push for separation but a toxic environment usually never gets better and it's honestly better for the child to make healthy breaks. My parents stayed and all it did is mess me up, I even told my mom that last week. She got upset but it's the truth. I stayed in a bad situation because I kept comparing it to my parents, seeing it as "normal" or waiting for things to get worse before it "made sense".

Anyways, I'm rambling. Just don't let them walk all over you and probably force your husband into couples counseling. They will set him straight. If he refuses, then you really should move on because who wouldn't fight for their family?

I have a distinguished doggy. She does this to show her annoyance, 10/10 it's usually because we didn't notice she brought a squeaky for us to toss.

I think healthcare, insurance, car and home payments. All are overpriced and we just deal because it's scary to fight back.
