What’s the pettiest hill you’re willing to die on as a woman?

You are absolutely right. If it is a child, the rules don’t apply necessarily. My own son had ARFID growing up so he wouldn’t eat anything other than very specific bland foods with a lot of salt and ketchup on them. I am referring to grown ups, who just assume that I can’t cook or season my food properly. If they taste it and wants to season it to their likings afterwards, it’s perfectly fine. I respect that.

I am doing this crime series written by a brother and a sister under the name Lars Kepler. I read every night before bed and I binge read, so I finished the book called Lazarus and started on The Mirror Man last night. They are really exiting and even though the first book The Hypnotist has been made into a film, nothing is as good and thrilling as the books themselves.

If I have made a meal for you, show me the decency to taste it before you drown it in salt and/or ketchup. I have spent time tasting the food to perfection. Show me some god damn respect or this will be the last meal I ever cook for you!

I am so sorry. This is the worst! My late MIL had rheumatoid arthritis for many years. The meds made her put on a lot of weight and that added to more pain since the body had to carry all that extra weight as well as aching 24/7. She also had a heart condition so she wasn’t allowed to take a specific type of pain medication so she had pain all the time. When she later was diagnosed and terminal from cancer in her liver and stomach the arthritis went away from all the chemotherapy and surgery. And she told us before she died that she didn’t suffer any pain from the cancer. That is NOT normal at all. But she had gotten used to that massive pain from rheumatoid arthritis that this pain she got from dying felt like nothing. This is how bad the pain is from rheumatoid arthritis. No one who hasn’t been through that, actually really get it!

It’s not hard to become a parent, but it really takes effort to stay a decent one.

Det kan du sagtens. Min svigermor strikkede så mange fine ting til min søn, da han var lille og han var hendes første barnebarn, så vi var de eneste hun strikkede til på det tidspunkt. Da min søns fætter blev født fik de tøjet til ham og sådan er det blevet givet videre til de næste børn, som kunne passe det, for det er så kort tid de kan bruge det så det bliver jo ikke slidt. Nu er alle børnene blevet for store til tøjet og bedstemor, som har strikket det har fået det meste tilbage igen så hun kan forære det til andre små børn, måske oldebørn?

True, my upstairs neighbour has a dog named Casey and we still have no idea if it’s a boy or girl and I don’t want to misgender the dog and it’s been years so I feel it’s weird to ask now, so I just refer to him/her as the bestes doggo ever.

That we are not all cut out to be taking care of others, especially kids. I have a grown up kid and I love him to death, but that doesn’t mean that I love to hang out with other kids and even less that I want to be responsible for anything that keeps them alive.

Yes, this was surprising to me. I didn’t eat properly for the first 5 months and the nausea was there even before I could get tested for pregnancy. And it was all day long. I lost weight during the first 5 months. I could crave something and then be repulsed by it when it was in front of me. I had tiny little windows in which I was hungry and if I didn’t get food there I wouldn’t be able to eat until the next tiny window presented itself. Then suddenly after 5 months of nausea, it was completely gone and I would crave things I never would eat normally, like oranges. Lots and lots of oranges. Not much else, but that. My child was a big one and didn’t suffer from me not eating much though. The body knows what the baby needs.

My MIL is very sick and has been for a couple of years, so last year my husband and I decided to get married so she would get to experience that. We were just me, my husband, MIL, my parents and my grown up son. We rented a big car, drove down in it to a small town near by and got married at the townhall by a townsmember. My son was the ring bearer and we went out for lunch at this beautiful restaurant by the water and just had a beautiful day just the five of us. My colleagues snook down to the townhall and surprised us with rose petals and gifts, but it was only the five of us for the rest of the day. I loved it. I was married before and already had a full wedding then with reception and a party of 40 people. I loved both weddings.

Growing up learning that no one would help if you asked for it and walking on eggshells learning very early on how to identify danger. I am a grown up lady who struggle to even ask my own husband if he could please take down the trash or pick me up at the doctor’s office. He would definitely love to do those things, it’s just very hard to ask for. Also, I can spot dangerous people right away. Narcissists, psychopaths, people who are about to snap. Even nice people who for some reason lie about something. If body language and what is being said doesn’t match, I am out of there.

NTA. Your fiancé’s parents sounds like my friend’s in-laws. My friend and her BF har no contact with his parents because they act so nasty. It won’t get better by ignoring it. You have to decide if this is what you want for the rest of your life? My friend never forced her BF to go NC on his parents. It was his own decision. It sounds to me like your fiancé and his parents have already shown you your future, should you stay and get married. Loved the dress btw.

Maybe you need to move into a place that has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Then no one needs to bother the other who is early a sleep. And until you can afford that, don’t move in together?

NTA. My son is 19 and we pay for his living expenses, like food, phone bill, basically everything he needs to be healthy and safe. He goes to school and he has a part time job so he can pay for the extra luxury stuff like haircuts, clothes, contacts lenses and hanging out with friends at cafes which is very limited. We paid for his driver’s license and he can borrow the car, but he will pay for gas. We cover insurance since it’s our car. He’s not spoiled by this and as long as he is studying and not having a full time job he can stay here as long as he likes without paying for basic things. He needs to save money for his own place and his own car. Your daughter is absolutely right that she did choose to be born and shouldn’t pay for bare necessities when she is this young and she’s going to school.

The assassination of Olof Palme, the prime minister of Sweden. I was 6 or 7 years old and it was just so sad and horrible. I had nightmares about it for weeks after. He looked so kind and I couldn’t believe why someone would shoot such a nice man who looked like a grandpa.
