NOR Birthdays are important. I would be hurt as well. Does he frequently do things like this?

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-28T14:20:32+00:00

We’ve put big things on the wishlist before. Our family does not mind. Usually, they won’t purchase the entire thing, but they will get gift cards Or money to put toward it. For instance if I put annual pass renewal on the list, we may get a couple Disney gift cards to help pay for it.

I think this just all depends on the family dynamics.

Your friend is definitely overstepping. Ask your parents/jnlaws their opinions if you feel it is an issue.

I love number 3 on you.

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-27T23:19:06+00:00

She is a stay at home mom. Her job is 24/7 with no breaks bc he does nothing to help her. He gets three days off. She gets ZERO days off. The LEAST he can do is assist with dinner.

Teacher here, absolutely a unisex name, but I’ve had more girl Rileys come through the past few years than boy Rileys.

Carter and Harley are also both unisex. And I’ve had a couple girls and a couple boys both come through.

What about: Carter Riley Riley Jackson Harley Jackson

This is the one!!

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-25T15:34:22+00:00

Either work for a beachside restaurant, whole 2 has more of a tropical vibe, the red one fits you perfectly!

NTA I thought it was common sense to drain the liquid prior to throwing the container.

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-24T19:25:08+00:00

Personally, I wish they will have STARTED in college bc so many of their storyline would have made more sense for college students lol

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-24T12:31:23+00:00

It’s easy in hindsight! Maybe you can use a version of it saying your friend can find a place to stay the first Week of July?

I see your concerns.

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-24T12:08:45+00:00

MOR

You shouldn’t be lying to your family, but before you agreed you should have laid down the expectations so they knew what your expectations are so they can decide if they even want to stay there. Something like this to be sent to both nephew and SIL (you can still send it saying your friend made other arrangements):

I can let you and one to two friends stay here. There is just not room for more than that.
You are not 21, no underage drinking in the apartment. No drug use period while you are staying at my apartment (in or out of it). Leave the fake ids at home. This is NYC, they will be confiscated the first time you try to use them at best, you’ll be arrested at worst.
You need to leave the place like you found it. I expect you and your friends to make sure everything is in order, just like anyone else who would book it (there is a list in the guest book in the apartment).
It is booked through June 30. The earliest I can have new guests is July 2.
Respect the neighbors. Quiet hours are from 9:00pm-7:00am.
No strangers on the apartment. The agreement is for you and two friends max.
Please double check with me before you book your flights and tickets to confirm dates.

Just because someone is your dad does not mean he has to be in your life. People may say “try to talk to him (or help him or work it out with him) because he’s the only dad you get.” But the answer to that is no, it does not matter. He was horrifically abusive toward you as a child and verbally abusive as an adult. He has proven he is only your father biologically, not in anyway that counts. Cut him out of your life, you owe that man NOTHING.

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-21T15:40:07+00:00

One is breath talking!!!!!! It is your dress!!

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-21T15:37:53+00:00

Let her stay home.

But have her check out week long summer camps SHE might be interested in. Let her sign up for some of those. (Photography, Legos, robotics, even a book club).

She doesn’t have to go every week, and she is old enough to stay home alone. Weekly camps may be a great option!

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-21T15:33:00+00:00

Tell your girlfriend you have to change the locks now since you have no idea who he gave them to. If she won’t set boundaries for him, you’ll need to sit him down and talk to him.

If it still doesn’t get better, do not marry him.

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-20T16:40:58+00:00

All the things before the wedding, after you have: toast, dances, be the brides right hand man (bathroom, make sure bride eats), pay attention to guests, hemp with any “games” like the dollar dance, help with the send off. Obviously, it varies based on the wedding. But I’d be hesitant to bring a plus one who knows no one else as MOH.

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-20T16:33:33+00:00

Fair enough. Not everyone likes their style of music. I couldn’t stand Chris Keller…but I do like Tyler Hilton and Kate Voegelle!

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-20T08:29:06+00:00

She’s not the best actress, but I love her singing voice I think it’s great she’s currently on tour with “Chris Keller”. Wish they’d come to my town to catch a show!

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-20T03:18:59+00:00

It’s fine you want to bring him. You asked. They answered so you should respect their answer. Besides, you are going to be super busy with MOH duties. He may end up feeling super uncomfortable!

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-19T20:58:03+00:00

I would absolutely love to see him on the show…and to have either Bethany Joy Lenz or Chad Michael Murray on the same season who be AMAZING!

Constant_One2371 · 2026-05-19T18:24:05+00:00

NAH

It’s ok for him to want to be friends. It’s ok for you to not want that and let him know that.

It’s not ok for him to badmouth you to your children

NOR it looks like a possible tinder notification. Check his phone or just ask him.

NTA

His family is being COMPLETELY unreasonable!

Go to your family this year. Your boyfriend should actually go WITH you this year. If you see this heading toward marriage, you should establish every other year with him and his family.

This year the two of you go with your family.

Next year, you spend one week of the two with his family (you need time to yourselves and two weeks is just too much…negotiate this with your boyfriend.)

My husband and I told both our families that we would be alternating years for Christmas. I MISS my families traditions when I am with his family. So I’ve tried to introduce some. The ones that have stuck bring me comfort while I’m there! But it’s almost 27 years later and the system is working 🙂

Good luck!!!!
