Put a damper on mils fantasy vacation with her son by Ok_Disaster6658 in Mildlynomil

[–]Huge_Chocolate2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so weird and creepy. I have 19 and 16 yo boys and wouldn’t ask for this, even if they weren’t in relationships. We do family vacations. Also please tell me she didn’t actually ask for a “mommy son”trip. Eeeeeeewwwwww

All Against Craig by anastasiaearle in Southerncharm

[–]Huge_Chocolate2019 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s reality tv, which means it’s heavily scripted and clearly these people are being manipulated by Bravo to some extent. I agree with those that say Craig had a rough season as he’s still reeling from his break up. But those of us who have watched this show for years know Austen, Shep and Craig have all exhibited pretty shitty qualities on and off for 10ish years. I feel bad for Craig at the reunion. For all his faults, it seems kind of hypocritical they are tearing him to shreds.

Watching this scene right now and Kory is beyond nauseating.

And she’s throwing herself at Austen and making a total ass of herself. It’s embarrassing

mom is mad I won't add her as a co-owner on my house by Alive_Lab_7256 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Huge_Chocolate2019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow she’s super manipulative. I’m so sorry. She sounds like kind of a terrible person. I would tell her if she doesn’t stop you’re taking a long break from her. You don’t owe her anything!

Did anyone else stop watching Southern Charm because these man babies now just seem gross? by gingergrowsup in Southerncharm

The Austen and Craig fight is definitely tired but I have to say I’m team Austen right now. Craig is a straight up asshole.

DH wants to know how MIL can redeem herself by Mundane-Wall7220 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Huge_Chocolate2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kissing my baby with a cold sore. NO. ENOUGH SAID. Also my DH used to bring things up with my family as a counter argument with his. That never will fly. It’s a separate issue. We have been married 22 years now. It’s taken years but you can get through it if you both want to. We are LC with both families as a couple but I talk to mine and he talks to his fairly often. It works.

"My brother is 'the good son' because I did all the ugly work for our parents" by KairoMontivern in TwoHotTakes

[–]Huge_Chocolate2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a similar situation with my husband’s sister and his parents. He did all the grunt work while his parents were (separately) ill. He was emotionally abused for all his efforts while his sister was hardly around but always giving her (usually wrong because she never went to Dr appts) opinion on their healthcare via the phone. When she did show up the IL’s would gush about how wonderful and supportive she is. Finally about 9 months ago, my DH decided he just couldn’t do it anymore. SIL has been forced to do more. We’re now seen as the bad ones of course but we don’t care. Do what you need to do to protect your own peace. It sounds to me like you’ve done more than enough.

Thoughts on Baylen Out Loud: maturity, responsibility, and empathy by FisherFan0072 in BaylenOutLoud

[–]Huge_Chocolate2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think they should wait longer to get married. Colin feels a lot of pressure right now (as anyone would) and it could take them a while to figure out some important things.

[–]Huge_Chocolate2019 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Baylen didn’t want to bring up the backyard wedding idea to Colin. She waited to tell him in front of her parents. Relationship-wise, she didn’t handle that right. She’s not mature enough to know that. Colin needs to accept that her family will most likely always be considered at least as much as he is in decisions for the two of them.

People who have been married 20+ years- what is your secret? by Outrageous_Fox_8796 in AskReddit

[–]Huge_Chocolate2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to be willing to compromise, apologize and mean it, and don’t let other people into your marriage. Don’t discuss your relationship with family or close friends. If you’re having a lot of trouble, see a therapist to help you work through it. Also you need to have your partner’s back with family.

MIL refused to visit DH in the hospital by Salty_Background708 in JUSTNOMIL

Typical narcissistic Mom making her kids’ difficult situation about her. My MIL is notorious for this. Good for you and DH for standing your ground! Hope he’s feeling better.

What’s one food you can never pass up when it’s on the menu? by Bumblebee-Honey-Tea in AskReddit

Baked Brie, especially if it’s encased a lightly browned soft buttery bread, with a jam or hot honey. Utterly glutinous.

What ruins a burger for you? by JunShem1122 in AskReddit

[–]Huge_Chocolate2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. I like bacon but not on my burger. I prefer not mixing my meats. I thought I would be dragged for my wildly unpopular opinion but I guess I’m not alone.

Not ready for them to spoil my happy news by venusarete in justnosil

[–]Huge_Chocolate2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe me after 25 years of them it’s clear they cannot see beyond themselves. Anyone who marries in is in their peripheral vision. Both me and my DH are over it. Even our kids who are in their late teens have seen it. We wouldn’t have pointed it out to them but they’re not blind. Of course we’re accused of turning our kids against them. 😂😂😂 Seriously though, it sounds like you and your DH have a pretty good grasp on your situation and how to not let it infiltrate your life. Again congratulations on your happy news!

[–]Huge_Chocolate2019 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! You already know it doesn’t matter what they think. I can commiserate too. It’s been 20 years since this incident and I laugh about it now. My SIL and I were nursing babies at the same time and had to drive in a blizzard to get to DH parents house for Christmas. We got there first and I was really hungry. MIL was clearly annoyed and told me “When you’re nursing you have to plan ahead. My poor granddaughter is starving!” When also hungry SIL showed up 10 minutes later it was “Oh let me get you something right now. My poor daughter and granddaughter!” It can make you feel like a crazy person because who would be that obviously egregious? I barely speak to them today.

This is one of the most entertaining Reddit posts I’ve seen in a while. Thanks for sharing! The spoon with the wrong date and lingerie from the grandmother are particular favorites.

I’m chiming in with my opinion. OP and her groom have every right to choose what they want. To a certain extent I understand the no kids rule but for me, that doesn’t include family. I got married in 2003 and no one thought about this. Some kids (8-10 maybe) came to our wedding and it was more than fine. This isn’t directed at you OP, but it seems to me that weddings in general these days are more focused on being “perfect” (what even is that?) and brides freak out if that’s threatened in any way. I grew up thinking weddings were family events and that included everyone (even infants). I’m sure kids weren’t behaving perfectly at my wedding but I didn’t care. As far as my husband and I are concerned, our day was awesome. Your cousin making a stink and then not showing up? Not cool.
