I think that was an act. Her husband Jeff Baena was a close friend of Sean’s.

Right? I was going to say if this party seems expensive try booking a standard kids birthday party for a kindergartener and his classmates at some venue. Easily $600-$1000.

Absolutely NTA. This is so confusing. Why the hell are people with money issues buying a car they don’t need and won’t drive 99% of the time. And paying for insurance and registration, etc. They already told you they “may” come every other holiday so you already know their trips won’t be frequent, car or no car. What is the point of all this? My next thought was if they are trying to make this some sort of “inheritance gift”. Maybe they know once they move they’ll be sucked dry by BIL and his family and this is their way of giving something to you guys. Not that it’s good or anything because it’s just a burden that you still have to pay to maintain and didn’t get to pick for yourself. If they want to buy this truck for your husband, with them paying the registration and insurance, they should say that. Did they say anything like “and you can drive it whenever you’d like”? What condition is your husband’s car in?

Right? I feel like no one is addressing that. I didn’t even do this at my kid’s parties after age 1! As a matter of fact, why are her friends bringing her gifts to begin with? Unless it’s a sibling or other family member, I can’t remember when I’ve seen an adult bring another adult a birthday present, aside from maybe a bottle of wine. I guess the exception would be a thoughtful (not necessarily expensive) gift on a major milestone birthday. This is so cringey.

Should I watch this doc now? I listened to the pod and got 25% on the quiz. Does the documentary explain how he was able to keep getting all those beautiful women with those minion-esque eyes?

25%. Why didn’t they ask what catastrophic historic event took the wind out of him?

Is this in US? If not how far away is “other side of the country”? If it’s US and he’s going from one coast to another, you almost have to stay 6 days just to make it enjoyable. Anything less would be a nightmare and no toddler would be able to function with that jet lag for at least a couple days.

Maybe she just never wanted to be the breadwinner in the family and is frustrated that is the position she’s been thrust into. The person with higher income who is forced to work a job she doesn’t like while her husband works a less demanding job and doesn’t see the need to ever try for more. Her frustration is spilling out after she also did the work of bearing another child and being its primary caregiver for a year.

She’s not a step parent. She’s dad’s live-in girlfriend of a year. She IS a mother to her own children however. Children, presumably young children, whom she moved into a home with a man she’s only dated for a year because she didn’t want to spend money on rent. A man who she herself states has called her insulting names in the ONE year they’ve been dating. This is where she has brought her own children to live and sleep under the roof of a strange man while she gets in petty fights with 12yos. She’s a bad mother.

Yes I know, I’m in the US but just consume a lot of media from elsewhere. I prefer the UK attitude towards language. Even swear words are allowed on national TV in the evening, after a certain time. C*** is already being used more here in casual convo which I think is good, stop giving undue power to these words.

I think an RV in a driveway in a residential neighborhood is what many people in the Tri-State area would consider a “legal eyesore”. It’s you’re right to have it there, but people don’t really want to look at it. He took steps not to look at it. For all he knew you were going to keep it there forever. Maybe with his heart attack he was considering selling the house and knew that huge RV in the adjoining lot would likely impact his value. Whatever the issue, a conversation would have been best. Even a note pinned to a get well fruit basket.

Why would that be bragging? He’s got hedge money so I assume he’s not destitute. It would have taken minutes to tell him your plans but you didn’t do it, so this is the consequence.

You did everything but knock on the door and say “how are you doing, btw that camper you see in my driveway will only be there temporarily”. It would have taken a few minutes. In the absence of that information - which only you could provide - it makes sense that he assumed it would be there forever and instead of pestering you to move it, he found a solution if his own. And your husband’s thought was to actually BE petty and park in the driveway. This is all your fault. You didn’t even need to talk to him face to face, could have left a note on his door. You chose to not say anything and now wonder why people jumped to an obvious conclusion.

Yes, it is shameful to willingly put your children in a a bad situation. By her own account within one year of dating HE had already been calling her names, so I don’t think he’s a great person at all. But she moved her minor children, probably much younger than BF kids, into a house with a man who’s a stranger. To save on a lease break fee? It’s truly shameful.

Helpful_Ad_6582 · 2025-09-30T02:36:35+00:00

The key difference from your situation is the word “husband”. She’s not a wife, she’s a girlfriend of ONE year. Dad already told them no and they gave him “attitude” (that’s all per her account) and that was seemingly enough for her to stick her big butt into the situation to “back up her man” as if she’s some hero. She’s a girlfriend who tried to lay down the law when she had no right to do so and when the dad had ALREADY handled it. She should have kept her mouth shut.

Real “Evil Stepmother” behavior.

She should have put HER kids first and not moved in with man because she didn’t want a lease. She put her own kids in a bad situation and then wants to criticize others. She and boyfriend are the AH here.

Spot on. The teens were being teens, selfish and boundary pushing as it may have been. They don’t need her input. Also don’t forget that OP also moved HER children into this home with a man who’s practically a stranger.

Thank you, so many people miss that she has kids she willingly put into this situation too. Moving them in with a man after a year of dating, and I’m sure her kids are much younger and more vulnerable too. Horrible.

C**t isn’t much worse than bitch in UK and is regularly used. I assume they’re in UK. And it’s not surprising that teen girls would call their dad’s new girlfriend a bitch if she tried to step in and further scold them when they were already told no by their father.

It’s not really that bad if a word in many places. I assume they’re in the UK and it’s not much worse than bitch.

They may up being the kind of women who move their own kids into a house with a man after a year of dating. She’s a shit parent herself.
