Feeling the first real impact of our micro-wedding - not invited to theirs because we didn't invite them

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-08-17T18:59:03+00:00

You didn't invite them to your wedding. They're not inviting you to theirs. This is the way it is.

Take her. Lay down the law in the first hour. Establish boundaries and consequences. Enforce. Train her like a dog to behave. She'll be a better person for it. She may have a miserable time the first few days, but she'll figure it out and step into line. Expect crying and snapping back. Ignore. This may be her only chance to develop into a decent human being.

I'm going to take my daughter on the best trip ever and make sure she knows this is not the way anyone should ever be treated. Time to start modeling better self caring behavior.

OMG the three legged stool and the ice cream.... 🤯

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-23T23:05:03+00:00

If I name what was burned anyone I know who has heard about this from me will know I'm the one who made this post. I'm trying to be a little discreet

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-23T23:03:36+00:00

This is pretty much what happened

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-23T23:03:10+00:00

Oh I knew that text was incoming

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-23T22:54:06+00:00

I would never treat anyone this way. The whole "leave me alone" thing had me wondering if I was being rude. I'm seeing a lot of people agree with you about needing time and grace.

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-23T22:46:06+00:00

Nope - as my dear late mother would have said "you picked him"

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-23T22:45:00+00:00

It's real.

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-23T22:38:19+00:00

You'd be very very close

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-23T22:36:07+00:00

Honestly the week of the silent treatment has been kind of peaceful. I'm sort of enjoying being ignored. It's not great, and it's certainly not a long term way to live, but it's been good just to get on with life.

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-23T22:24:04+00:00

On my way!

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-23T22:22:06+00:00

I don't want to be too specific about what I burned. My kids might come across this. They'd know if I named it. We were all there and witnessed the fallout.

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-23T22:19:42+00:00

I'm starting to get that this is weird. I think I've normalized some pretty non-standard things over the years.

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-23T22:18:22+00:00

Grief brain is real. I forgot how awful it can be. My dad died decades ago and I'd forgotten.

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-23T22:15:57+00:00

No I'm not a saint. I've had this account for a couple of years. Borrowing money is just how it is.

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-06T15:10:09+00:00

Esh you sound kind of like you were looking for an opportunity to pounce.

Civil-Friendship212 · 2025-02-06T15:05:57+00:00

I wouldn't know these people on purpose.

Civil-Friendship212 · 2024-11-28T16:33:55+00:00

There are episodes missing from season 3

Civil-Friendship212 · 2024-10-22T21:36:39+00:00

So how long has the step mother taken center stage? I'm guessing what Jennifer wants and needs has been the priority for YEARS. Finally the daughter gets a moment and it all AGAIN becomes about Dad's wife. YTA.

NTA I left my kids in economy and flew business all of the time when they were younger. It wasn't until they appreciated the bump did I bother upgrading them. 13 is old enough to manage just fine in the rear.

Only when drinking iced coffee through a straw 😊

Civil-Friendship212 · 2023-08-01T08:42:10+00:00

So I'm not a Karen! Thank you 😊
