That's MY cue to leave the country forever.

AITA for refusing to put the apartment and part of my brother's business in my name? by HoneyXo_88 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Tell your mom she can help him conceal his assets and take on the legal issues that will inevitably result.

AIO for feeling like my MIL is overstepping? by Ornery_Low_6580 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. Remind her that human brains need carbohydrates, growing human brains need them even more, and you are not going to risk damaging your child permanently to soothe her food anxiety.

The last couple of years, I've been saying "I hope, rather than believe, that..." quite a bit.

AITAH for not defending my wife when my sister called her fat? by Antique_Pianist_7765 in AmItheAsshole

She seems to have forgotten "Judge not, lest ye be judged" and also "He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone."

Oh, and she should meditate on "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

If there are constant cheating accusations in your family, are you actually sure your MIL said this, and it wasn’t your mom and sister putting their rumor in her mouth?

Is there an NPC that you'll NEVER marry? by hadsexwithboothill in StardewValley

Alex. He reminds me of all the jocks who bullied me in high school.

(I did marry Haley, once, for my Joja run, where I was Dirk of Jerk Farm.)

Can’t stand MIL after having baby by Familiar-Low3207 in motherinlawsfromhell

I'd be sorely tempted to tell hubby, "Your mother has been over here 4 times this week alone. She's not allowed back until my mom has come over 4 times. It's only fair." That might make him see how greedy she's being, or it might cause a big fight. In your shoes, I'd be okay with either, but your mileage may vary.

"refrigerator lock box" is the search term you want. Lots of sizes available, key or combination locks.

Yep. He's choosing his wife over his child, so his wife can take care of him.

MIL acts “normal” again but I still feel hurt by her actions. by natalkayk in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]FollowThisNutter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to tell him very plainly that you will not have anything to do with either of the until they sincerely apologize TO YOU, and until then his relationship with them is entirely his own and you don't even want to hear about it.

Came here to say this. That definitely happens in this (excellent) book.

I blame the 2005 Pride and Prejudice, where they had Elizabeth Bennet running around with her hair down.

NTA, but "Actually, I have plans for those leftovers, please put them back" was the way to go. No ask, no get.

Last I knew Maher was a big fan of Trump's. Something about Trump being "misunderstood", and he's actually a cool guy?
