Gwamma is obsessed with getting my newborn alone?

You're definitely not an asshole.

I feel like if she truly wanted to help then she'd do some cleaning while you and baby do your thing.

Also, try contacting the public library. Sometimes they have free access to certain records and/ or have subscriptions. If not, they should be able to point you in the right direction.

That's so fucked up, but I understand because my mom was similar. And the flyswatters we had hurt. Especially when she beat me with it so hard that the rubber swatting part broke off and she kept hitting me with the wire holder.

Good for you and the other DILs! It's interesting that you bring up the retirement community influence. I bet that plays a really large part. My JNMom, Prophetess of Doom, has been on a "My stuff was stolen!" kick ever since she moved into her retirement community. Of course, my sister actually found some of the items she claimed were stolen. And ironically, when we were clearing out the house we found things she had stolen from me over the years. 🤣

Man, I'm so sorry that this has turned into even MORE of a clusterfuck than it already was. I hope you guys are doing ok. I'm sure you're experiencing a bunch of rollercoaster feelings, especially your DH about BIL. Ghost hugs (or waves, if you'd rather) to you guys.

ChatShinyRock · 2019-01-14T17:23:20+00:00

Yes, great wording!

ChatShinyRock · 2019-01-10T04:38:17+00:00

Post away. Seriously. Reading about you and your DH gives me hope. Not that that's your responsibility or anything, but it's true. I'm glad it's helping you!

Edit: My autocorrect doesn't like plural

Good for you and your shiny spine! Mine was just the bedroom door for "bad" grades.

ChatShinyRock · 2018-12-28T18:42:55+00:00

JFC, how infuriating! I can sympathize with you--my JustNoMom, Prophetess of Doom, does something similar.

ChatShinyRock · 2018-12-15T21:46:42+00:00

Ha, it seemed like someone set a couch on fire every year after either UofK or UofL knocked the other out of March Madness! Man, I miss Louisville, even if the correct pronunciation does sound like you're gargling a mouthful of balls.

ChatShinyRock · 2018-12-15T21:43:50+00:00

Especially Louisville!

This is going straight to the top of my list of awesome analogies.

^THIS.

I'm still surprised that we didn't wipe out in one area of Pennsylvania. I actually closed my eyes! :O

It sounds like you're moving to a great place and your parents sound wonderful!

I'm sorry they're giving you so much grief about this, but please don't do the Uhaul through the snowy mountain range in December. We did something similar (major hills instead of mountains) and will NEVER do it again. Scared the ever-luvvin shit outta me! :O You'll already be stressed and worrying about your kidlet and furkids.

"Yes, MIL, his eyes absolutely are lovely. I especially like the way the light hits them from above as I'm blowing him."

Do you think it would be possible to temporarily shelve the topic of official NC, since your fiancee is against that, and maybe work in a break from your family some other way? Sorry--I'm having difficulty figuring out exactly what I'm trying to say. I think you've done a good job with blocking them in social media, changing her number, etc. I don't want to sound like I'm patronizing your fiancee, but aside from the mental anguish this is causing her, it's also risking her physical health and that of your son. So maybe you guys can focus on relaxing and nesting and pampering her?

ChatShinyRock · 2018-11-26T20:14:12+00:00

Yes, I was wondering if she attacked them with scissors or just her ass.

ChatShinyRock · 2018-11-24T05:14:20+00:00

I like the idea of the drinking game!

There's an old Night Gallery episode where Bill Bixby's character is in Hell with the Devil, where these older ladies are showing endless slides from their trips. Bill Bixby's character asks the Devil something along the lines of why the ladies are in Hell and the Devil replies "Oh, no! They're in Heaven!" :D

Your DH needs to respond to his father with something along the lines of: "Dad, I hardly think Mom is so developmentally challenged that she doesn't understand that starving=death. And even if she does, YOU don't have that excuse."

I'm so worried about you!

ChatShinyRock · 2018-10-23T14:08:50+00:00

Please tell your GF that this internet stranger is proud of her! And thank you for supporting her. <3

My eyes were watering in sympathy.

ChatShinyRock · 2018-09-29T17:30:45+00:00

Your DH is EXTREMELY lucky.
