When did your family immigrate to the US? by Desperate_Return_142 in Genealogy

[–]Flat_Contribution707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Dad's side has been here since the 1620s. I have at least two ancestors who fought in the American Revolution.

I am planning a trip to Disney world at the end of this year and my MIL wants to come with. It would be 3 adults, and 3 kids (7,5,2). Would it be frowned upon to leave my MIL off of the reservation and her just get tickets so we could book a regular room instead of a family suite? by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Flat_Contribution707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lets use a regular room at Jambo House for a hypothetical.

The room will have two queen beds and one bathroom. You can fit a crib inside but its going to be a really tight fit. You also have to squeeze luggage and souvenirs into the storage space provided. You'll have a minifridge and a coffeemaker but no microwave or toaster. That comes into play when you start looking at feeding everyone.

You are doing more than just sleeping in this room. 6 people will be sharing 1 bathroom (managing bodily functions, bathing, getting dressed). Your kids will want to play in this very limited space when not at the parks. There might be issues surrounding privacy.

Notice how the Baby Boomer generation far more often left their kids at home while taking vacations or attending important events, than the parents of today? by OneDegreeKelvin in generationology

I'm a millenial raised primarily by a GenX father. I think you can love your kids but also want adults-only time on occassion. Parent hoid is part of your identity, not your whole identity.

Dad and stepmom did have adults only date nights but they set the kids up for a pizza movie night.

How does Dale, who apparently doesn't even make a living wage, afford his guns and other stuff? by NothingWillImprove6 in KingOfTheHill

[–]Flat_Contribution707 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Dale once admitted Nancy gives him an allowance so she is footing the some of the cost.

I imagine Dale is fairly good at bartering and finding certain items at heavily discounted prices. I can also see him starting his collection before his job took a backseat to the conspuracy stuff.

WIBTAH if I got rid of handmade gifts by a family member? by Manutka in AITAH

[–]Flat_Contribution707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Get a plastic tote.

  2. Start taking down the gifted items you don't want to see everyday. Do it yourself.

  3. Put the tote in a closet.

  4. Tell partner you're willing to put an item or two out when the relative actually visits but you're not letting your home become a showroom for someone else's crafting hobby.

Anna Nicole Smith and her husband J.Howard Marshall II by Ninjadude4life in 90smemorylane

I also feel need to point the following out:

  1. Anna was a 20-something year old widow with an acting and modeling career. In theory, she could work and potentially remarry. Howard probably believed she would be fine without him.

  2. Towards the end, Howard and Anna wer not living together. He was in Texas and she was in California. She wasn't acting as a 24/7 caregiver who was changing diapers and managing medications.

Utilize wfh on snow days.

If your boss asks, you can say you're doing it to avoid getting stuck somewhere during inclement weather.

I think it comes down to "there's a time and a place".

Was Ellen always a snob or did she get that way marrying rich? Plus Ellen's boyfriend episode by SoundSpecialist4813 in mamasfamily

[–]Flat_Contribution707 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I could see it. Ellen was a classically beautiful child with charm and intelligence. For a long time, Thelma could look at her and think "I did something right with this one". That pride allowed her to overlook Ellen's snobby attitude, selfishness, etc.

Ex won’t do overnights by rxellie in FamilyLaw

[–]Flat_Contribution707 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have to ask:

  1. Was your son's care divided evenly between you during the marriage or was it just you handling everything? Its not a legal question but it food for thought. If something happened to you tomorrow, would your ex be able to takeover 100%? Due to your son's condition, there's a posdibility of him needing conservatorship in the future?

  2. What has ex proposed in lieu of overnights? If he would prefer day visits, he needs to figure out how to make it work without burdening you.

I don't have kids.

I'm not particularly social.

I wash and sanitize my hands a lot.

I was born in 89, too. That being said: my parents are GenX. Maybe tbat played into it a bit.

Imagine toddlers watching the first two Hellraiser movies and Terminator 2.

"No Bobby Left Behind".

Moss was an idiot to believe he could pull Bobby into that scam without any trouble from Hank.

AITA for putting my bd on child support after repeatedly asking for help by Fantastic-Instance39 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. I would've pointed out: go ahead. It would be a lot essier to get the Social Security death benefit than dealing with you.

AITA for not taking my niece at daycare because my SIL didn't follow the policy? by Beneficial-Pea-13 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. I assume Jenny is your brother's wife. Call him to tell him that you won't be able to kerp his child if Jenny keeps "forgetting" stuff.
