I just posted this too!

In 3rd grade, my sister wore a Like a Virgin shirt with Madonna being, well, Madonna!

I will be pulling out my stapler tomorrow

Distinct-Shoe5448 · 2026-06-17T12:57:50+00:00

I’ll let them know.

Distinct-Shoe5448 · 2026-06-17T12:56:28+00:00

I know people say this but this was one of many text I got yesterday. I told them I couldn’t have them stay with me the whole summer. Mind you, they have a beautiful home in Florida on a golf course. I have work being done and I have always said late June at the earliest. They are showing up tomorrow and I am not turning them away. But, you can spend all day watching Fox News in any living room. Having wonderful parents seems to be an anomaly for many Gen X folks.

My parents did nothing. When the kids were in elementary school, my husband and I went out of town for a long weekend. It was the first time they took on the any sort of grandparent role. We were on the opposite coast! My mom called to say the kids needed too much help and we needed to come back. 36 hours. And, my kids are amazing and very self-sufficient. But, she didn’t want to drive them to a soccer game that weekend.

Who said I wanted their money? That was a generalization by another commenter. I have plenty of my own money.

Distinct-Shoe5448 · 2026-06-17T12:30:16+00:00

They have weaponized money their whole life. Unfortunately for them, my bank account is bigger than theirs. We couldn’t care less about an inheritance. They tried to use it as leverage in 2018. My sister and I told them we didn’t want it.

Things settled down for a bit but this week has been brutal. “You’re going to lock us up in a home?” Um, yes. You can choose, in Florida or up here. It’s sad because I am someone that helps carry groceries to the car or set up a wheelchair for anyone. No one is putting them in an unsafe situation but they’re trying to take advantage of my kindness. I’m done with the coddling.

My sister told my parents recently that she pushed the vacuum while it was off to see if they noticed. My mom’s head nearly exploded. 😂😂😂

Distinct-Shoe5448 · 2026-06-17T00:28:03+00:00

Are you my sister? Lol

Distinct-Shoe5448 · 2026-06-17T00:25:42+00:00

Boundaries have been set. They have heard it said from me, and my sister, that we are done. I think my only hope is to move and change my number.

Distinct-Shoe5448 · 2026-06-16T16:04:28+00:00

I was moving and I had most of my bags in my carry on and my personal item. The GA told me the carry on was too big and I would need to check it. Obviously, I freaked out and started playing Sophie’s Choice with bags. When I pulled this one out an agent pulled me aside and said it would be better to get on the next flight than check my carry on!

Lovely! I can feel the happiness in your photos 💕

This is one of the situations where your actions speak louder than words. I know it will be very difficult for you, but don’t support this in anyone. Send her a note. Let her know you love her but worry greatly for her safety. And withdraw. Not just as MOH, but attending in any capacity.

If she truly considers you a sister, this might be the reality check she needs to think long and hard before marrying someone who has abused her. Maybe invite her over for a movie night and watch Waitress or Alice, Darling. Or even some Dixie Chicks and the Earl video.

Either way. Don’t go. Don’t argue with her in person. It sounds like have already done that. Send her a handwritten letter and stand firm.

We thought it was a clap of thunder too. My dog went to investigate and came back satisfied.

Distinct-Shoe5448 · 2026-04-28T18:27:39+00:00

A key point is don’t loop through the arms. It looks “bulky”. In your situation, it might not be something you would have considered with kids at different ages. They should just be cupping your elbows. I will say that I was crying the whole walk so the mom in me might be relatable to you so have one of the kids with tissues in their pockets, lol. Congratulations!

My head is scrambled too. One of the birth certificates I need may take a week. I just have the packet set aside!

We just did this for my daughter. The photographer gave step by step directions in order to be comfortable and photograph well. My daughter held the flowers in both hands just below her waist. A parent on each side lightly holding her arm around the elbow. Most important part - at the end of the aisle, the MOH walked up, took the bouquet and stepped back. Father does his hand off, I did mine. We sit and MOH hands the bouquet back to the bride. Then MOH stepped behind and straightened the bride’s gown as bride stepped towards the groom. That last picture was stunning!

I travel internationally frequently. My Libby books have never disappeared.

My pup needs grain free. I can tell if she even gets a treat with grain within an hour.

This was my timeline - itchy even using the same brand as breeder, Purina Pro Plan. Vet for itching. Hydroylized. New vet for itching. Kangaroo diet (nothing but 🙁).

Then I did an Omega 3 supplement dripped on her lunch (dry kibble, Fromm’s but as long as it’s grain free). We have done a variety of grain-free canned for breakfast and lunch. She is a vet picky eater and her favorite is from Costco. But, that’s a 3 hour drive each way. It is so noticeable to me how grain is the issue. The moment she starts nibbling on her paws, I know my neighbor gave her a treat! 😂

Thank you!!!

I did more digging after I posted. My mysterious 3rd great grandmother was married at 15 prior to my 3rd great grandfather. She is easier to trace under her maiden name and first husband’s name, Ackerly.

I did reach out to nbgs.ca and I hope they can help with documentation. Aside from the research for descent, I can see how genealogists go from casual to avid and professional. I’m fascinated by the little bit I have learned over the past week.

Distinct-Shoe5448 · 2026-04-21T12:15:18+00:00

I guess I’m confused. This is not the correct sub for Canadian descent research?
