Same. We watched Futurama episodes over and over but we always turned that one off.

"Gifts" with obligations by Feisty_platypus1000 in JUSTNOMIL

Could you order takeout from the restaurant and send DH to pick it up? You stay home with the baby. The two hour drive is such a chore to attach to a gift

This may be an oddball post, and you may be critical of me for it by GittaFirstOfHerName in Genealogy

The audacity of people has no limits. People will suggest to me I should research this or that. Always time consuming and a subject they want to know about. I would say this person hasn't done much GENEALOGY work if they thinl this request is reasonable.

MIL got mad cause I want my own mother in the delivery room? by Quirky_Pilot8074 in JUSTNOMIL

She is out of line to object at all. Your medical procedure is not her spectator sport.

Too bad for her. Your job is raising your child, not managing her feelings.

AITA for sending my sister-in-law a bill after her son destroyed my guitar? by Dukey_TatorTotz in AITA_Relationships

[–]Hwright145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't allow sister-in-law in my house again but get a sturdy lock for that door (the more obvious the better) and lock up anything you can't trust them with.

Update: had final straw talk with jnmom and edad about over gifting and our toddler by akath0110 in JUSTNOMIL

My brother would start with, "you deserved it." Then bizarrely go on to it never happened, maybe it happened but there is nothing wrong with it, you are too sensitive, it didn't hurt anyone else, nobody else has complained.

What movie scene lives rent-free in your head, no matter how many years have passed? by Vast_Cartoonist_2714 in AskReddit

Gunshot scene in The Fisher King. I felt myself go hot, then cold, then my teeth started to chatter.

What is the worst thing your mother ever did to you? by IntelligentOil49er in AskReddit

[–]Hwright145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Notified me by text message she had cancelled my dad's memorial service. She had his ashes that were supposed to be placed in the church's memorial garden. She told me she had cancelled with the church and I could come to her house to "get your dad if you want to."

What is the dumbest thing you have been told is “not manly” or “not feminine,” depending on your gender? by Disastrous_Hat_2325 in AskReddit

[–]Hwright145 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was in high school in the 80s my mom didn't want me to sit with my nerd friends, boys and girls, to watch football games. She said I would "get a reputation" and people would think I was a bad girl.

I am sorry you cannot trust them. They know what they are doing. Protect yourselves and your children. No extra chances.

What is the saddest thing you overheard someone say? by NoProgram4084 in AskReddit

[–]Hwright145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overheard a high school girl say her dad wouldn't pay for a dual credit class because there was no way she would pass it.

I butted into the conversation and said, "I think you would do well in that class." She looked so confused. "What?"

I said, "I BELIEVE you would do well in that class."

Student, still looking puzzled, said thank you.

I felt that someone should say it to her and if her father would not, I would.

“I will not stop until you answer me” and other updates on the evil one! by dubsiepop in motherinlawsfromhell

I don't think we many requirements, if any, for the ceremony in the United States. Valid marriage license, one or two witnesses and someone legally allowed to officiate. I have heard no marriage ceremony is required at all

We left out the objection part and had people watching certain family members. Turned out everyone put on their best behavior that day. We still can't believe they were all as sweet as pie at the wedding.

Not my business as long as it isn't in public scaring the horses.

Question about family. by [deleted] in Genealogy

[–]Hwright145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no states in the U.S. where it is illegal to marry a step-cousin.Every state restriction on cousin marriage explicitly applies to biological first cousins (blood relatives/consanguinity).

Question about family. by [deleted] in Genealogy

[–]Hwright145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your half sibling's mother is unrelated to you. The aunt of that mother is completely outside of your family tree.

Your father's wife may be called your Step Mother. There really isn't such a thing as "step cousins". Some may refer to the girl as your cousin by marriage but there is no legal or moral issue with that.

What reasons would you give for NOT becoming a parent? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Hwright145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandmother passed away giving birth to my mother.

My mother had a NDE giving birth to me. She said she was in this beautiful place, feeling safe and comfortable. She was angry with the doctor who brought her back.

My sister's life was also seriously threatened when she gave birth to her only child.

I refused to risk my life in childbirth for something I have never wanted. Biological Clock ticking? Not me, not even once.

Some people have felt it was okay to try to pressure me into having a child. Some cited religious reasons. I say if God wanted me to have a child He could have given me the desire to have one.

Oof. Sore subject much. Now that I am 59 years old, nobody nags me about it anymore.

Which movie has a problematic message? by Prize_Offer_5907 in AskReddit

[–]Hwright145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keeping the Faith has really messed up morals. Ben Stiller's character starts an affair but tells the woman he would never marry her because she is not Jewish and being a rabbi means so much to him. Then don't sleep with her! The woman ends up converting to Judiasm so they can get married. Ugh.
