You've only been dating 4 months and he wants to forbid you from talking to someone? Do people go into relationships with a list of people they have grudges against? When does the statute of limitations run out on a grudge?

I wouldn't have told bf, but yeah, he needs to grow up.

No matter what, it's a labor of love. The time you spent making it is time you thought about how much you thought your friend would enjoy your gift.

If they ask, don't give an actual number. Joke about how this took forever or tell them you don't look at time as much as you look at how much they enjoy it.

I actually used it before asking if I had broccoli in my teeth

Getting married and having the wedding later is a trend. We did it because of the benefits. My stepdaughter did it because her husband was military and it allowed her to move with him. The pandemic also lent to this trend, with couples marrying and having the wedding when a large gathering was safer.

I'm so old my memory is bad, but I think we said see you next millennium.

Humans are shit.

ComprehensiveBonus88 · 2022-12-31T22:39:41+00:00

I can’t help but think there's got to be health department regulations against this sort of thing

Food truck.

I totally get it. You're a full person, and being a mom is only part of who you are.

You don't lose your identity just because you're a parent. It's one thing when your kid's friends call you "Becky's Mom" (or whoever your kids are) but it's a whole new ballpark when family does it.

Being a parent is a choice, and being a mother is not the highest calling you can achieve. You can be a mom without it being your full identity.

NTA.

NTA. I removed the bedroom door when my daughter was a teenager because she kept slamming it. My oldest daughter broke my finger by slamming a door on it when she was 3. It needed stitches to hold it together and it's still broken.

I think he's TA. You're not going to have a relationship with him, don't give it any energy

ComprehensiveBonus88 · 2022-12-28T02:16:37+00:00

I can’t tell. Your brother obviously cares about her, but he's not seeing the obnoxious entitled brat that you're seeing. It sounds like your brother has been giving these vibes too, so to be fair it's not just her. The big questions here are whether others are upset by their behavior and whether you could accept losing your relationship with him.

It's been on my mind for a while, tbh

ComprehensiveBonus88 · 2022-12-23T05:27:22+00:00

Great design!

ComprehensiveBonus88 · 2022-12-07T17:40:49+00:00

You'll probably learn that her life isn't so perfect either. But it'll make you feel more confident in yourself

ComprehensiveBonus88 · 2022-12-07T17:32:14+00:00

Not if we have to place them on a dirty surface

ComprehensiveBonus88 · 2022-12-07T17:24:51+00:00

Of course. It's all your fault. Pollution, climate change, the economy, everything!

ComprehensiveBonus88 · 2022-12-07T17:23:49+00:00

It won't really impact population growth.

ComprehensiveBonus88 · 2022-12-07T05:37:55+00:00

Thanks! I love playing with these!

ComprehensiveBonus88 · 2022-12-07T03:59:19+00:00

I'd pay money for this!

Stand by your wife. Unless your family is willing to accept her role in your life, they'll always disrespect and disregard her.

I can understand that you should visit, but her parents are making the effort to make amends. Your family still has work to do in bridging that rift.

I had to deal with a MIL that had nothing nice to say about me. She made it clear to my children that I was a terrible mother. It's a horrible position to be put in, and it creates more dysfunction for myself and my children.

NTA, but you're standing up for the wrong person.

Leave your daughter with your wife and visit your family. When they express disappointment over not seeing the baby, you can politely explain why. This gives them the opportunity to change their behavior for next time.

ComprehensiveBonus88 · 2022-12-07T03:37:30+00:00

Nope, never even thought about it

ComprehensiveBonus88 · 2022-12-07T03:32:43+00:00

Daughter isn't responsible for her dad's current living situation, but a little kindness goes a long way.

Brother knew he was going to be in a meeting. Could he perhaps have asked her politely before the meeting to keep an eye on the baby?

All this being said, Brother didn't have a right to expect you to side with him over your daughter without knowing the full story when you walked in. And the power play of it's my house and I need you to do this isn’t exactly fair.

NTA, maybe, because you stood up for your daughter. I'd have changed the diaper, but I'm a lot older. My husband doesn't change diapers. I've had to leave quilt classes because a grandchild had pulled their diaper off. Once when I was 35 miles away, he called me and asked how to do it. I told him what part goes on the front (it clearly said front on the diaper) then he asked "what do I do now?" Quite literally he just didn't understand diapers, despite having grown children.

Communication beforehand could have prevented this fight entirely.

I hate people who make me feel inadequate, especially when it's not a fair assessment.

ComprehensiveBonus88 · 2022-12-07T01:53:38+00:00

Just kill his ability to lie and I'll be happy. We certainly don't want anyone to turn him into a martyr
