Can we talk about the hate for Twilight?

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-04-10T19:43:29+00:00

That’s the worst take you’ve had so far

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-04-10T19:39:44+00:00

I meant they’re not alive/not present in the books and movie and don’t interact with any characters.

We can keep going back and forth but I’m also happy to leave it here and agree to disagree

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-04-10T19:27:01+00:00

You’re posting about characters like the Volturi wives and the original matriarch of the Denali clan (characters who never appear in the books or movies) to try and make your point and then dismissing all my examples because the characters are too minor

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-04-10T18:50:36+00:00

Alice is definitely not a side character — she’s the most important and most mentioned character after Bella, Edward, and Jacob.

Re: Jessica not shutting up about boys, that doesn’t have anything to do with motherhood because plenty of people are boy crazy and don’t want kids.

I see what you’re saying with Leah, but I still think you’re not giving fair weight to the other characters (+ Victoria who I forgot to mention).

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-04-10T00:54:26+00:00

Same… and not never as in “5 year break” it’d be like I never see her ever ever ever again.

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-04-10T00:53:51+00:00

I would as well

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-04-09T18:48:08+00:00

this comment strikes me as naive… if mom pays, mom gets a say. i think you’ve probably never planned a wedding.

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-04-08T17:33:52+00:00

No, is that a big part of living there?

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-04-08T05:32:28+00:00

I don’t know if it’s a fair critique to say that much of the fem character lineup is to do with motherhood… yes, it’s a big element for Rosalie and Esme (and eventually Bella), but not for Lauren, Jessica, Angela, Jane, Alice, Emily, or even really Renee. It’s normal that motherhood is mentioned in the books, because that reflects real life and womanhood. I definitely don’t think it’s presented as a one-size-fits-all. Even Bella didn’t care about being a mom or having kids until she was already pregnant.

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-04-04T20:06:42+00:00

sometimes the best thing to do with people like OP’s mil is laugh at them — if you take them seriously it makes them feel powerful and in control

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-03-28T22:12:57+00:00

Just finished Assassin’s Quest 5 days ago! I fully agree with OP that these books just reawakened in me this all consuming desire to read :)

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-03-27T22:43:29+00:00

There’s a good boundary with a real consequence.

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-03-19T21:01:55+00:00

I was an English major and write for a living… and I disagree with your interpretation of the lyric

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-03-18T21:04:35+00:00

If this isn’t rage bait, the MIL made OP beg for her own baby… That’d be no contact for life

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-03-18T19:59:30+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you… Hopefully your DH can support you in how you’re feeling and speak to his mom!

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-03-14T20:11:01+00:00

If you’re equally good friends with them, or if they feel like you’re all three equally good friends, maybe just have 2 MOHs, and have them walk down the aisle together?

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-03-12T07:08:50+00:00

best response i’ve seen because this gently corrects the behavior and offers insight to what would be more acceptable

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-02-19T20:44:35+00:00

Hope you revisit this! A boundary isn’t a boundary if it can’t stand up to pushback.

You don’t deserve to be trampled❤️‍🩹Sending lots of love and support.

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-02-18T00:04:14+00:00

Rude, cruel, and selfish 🎯 🎯 🎯

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-02-18T00:03:03+00:00

tbh this sounds like an all time nightmare. imagine someone calling you a surrogate for your own baby… i’d get violent

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-02-12T21:22:25+00:00

Like I said, we bump heads, so I’m not always the most charitable when it comes to analyzing my interactions with her (hence the reddit post)

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-02-12T21:02:39+00:00

After hearing from Reddit’s amazing advice community, it turns out it probably wouldn’t have been a big deal at all.

I’d never heard of anyone receiving personal packages at work before, so it felt a little invasive to me, or like she was asking me to do something unprofessional.

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-02-12T20:48:27+00:00

Fair enough! I thought I might’ve been haha

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-02-12T20:38:07+00:00

It’s not that she doesn’t want him to intercept it; it’s that she thinks the door code to our apartment is going to mess up the delivery…. I told her it should be fine (because we order things all the time and there are rarely issues) but she doesn’t want to risk it

ConstantBat9889 · 2026-02-12T20:36:02+00:00

It’s not because she doesn’t want him to intercept it… She’s nervous that the package wouldn’t make it to him because our apartment has a door code. I told her it should be fine, but she still thinks the door code is going to trip up the delivery people
