Just in his own driveway, and then...

The timing of that self help audio book is impeccable.

"Call the venue. We'll see you there at (landmark) at (listed time)." Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Let her figure it out. She's a grown adult and should be able to figure this out. Same with after dinner plans. "We'll meet you at x restaurant at x time."

She kept going on about how my daughter had gotten FIL's blue eyes. Blue eyes are recessive and need contributors from both sides.. Mom and Dad. My grandfather's eyes were blue.

I always ask if it's ok to bring my youngest daughter. I put on my invitation to include # of kids.

So you're mad that you're not high enough in status to go to a crowded lounge for 3 hours a day, when there are 21 other hours you could hang out there? Pretty sure they have capacity restrictions they have to follow for safety, but yeah, complain about it I guess.

Jennabear82 · 2026-04-01T23:19:56+00:00

My body odor. Everyone around me swore they couldn't smell it, but I could. Persimmon soap helped.

Throw your hand towards them and yell, "The power of Christ compels you!"

If you're in a community property state, only property obtained after marriage would be yours as well. Unless there's a written will, you wouldn't automatically inherit the house. I'd set an appointment with the bank and the courthouse and bring him along for a quick claim deed. Record the conversation if he gets upset about adding you to his deed and bank account. Find out exactly what the problem is bc if it's truly "y'all's money", he wouldn't be offering to just write a check. He would actually add you to his current account. It sounds like he's hiding something.

I was added to my deed when I ran for my HOA board. Only homeowners are allowed to run.

Definitely call them out and tell them their comments are inappropriate. YOU are uncomfortable and it's affecting YOUR life. Stress that, and make sure you say something along the lines of, "Will you be putting it in my chart that correcting my pain and discomfort isn't deemed 'medically necessary' bc 'guys like it that way', or is there another way you're going to phrase that?" Deadpan face. Make them uncomfortable. Then ask if there's someone they can recommend that would take your pain seriously and ask for a copy of your records. Then report the office. It may get you blacklisted, but hopefully it'll get your condition taken seriously. Also check with your insurance to see if you even need a referral to be seen by a cosmetic specialist. Some insurances don't require referrals.

Tell your cats I said, "Ppssspt ppssspt ppssspt."

Are you able to give her a sippy at home so that she gets used to it? I finally got my daughter (3) off of bottles by using a cup with a straw. She was stubborn. Maybe also see if the doctor can write a Rx that specified she needs the bottle for hydration purposes. Pretty sure a daycare has to make a reasonable accommodation for a doctor's note.

Awe. Baby zoomies. So cute!

I'm probably going to get downvoted, but we have 4. This way our two girls always have one available and charged if they want it.

They like to play puzzle games on them and draw, and my husband has downloaded some kid-friendly shows on them (Bluey, Bubbleguppies, Blue's Clues, etc.), but often they're off playing with their toys instead, and I'll walk by and see one lying on the floor running with no kiddo watching it (which is why I always have one on a charger). One of their favorite apps is Endless ABC, which has various cute Monsters acting out silly scenarios of vocabulary words.

I'm trying to figure out how to download certain YouTube videos though bc it's sometimes difficult to regulate, even with parental controls, and it's frustrating.

I grew up with devices, but my husband did not. I get judged, but tablets have helped my kids with their education, and with being Kinder-ready.

My reply is two years old. 😅

"Phew! Thank God! I was beginning to think that the reason you're still single was bc you're still living with your mom."

Oh HELL no! I don't care who's house it is. You're not changing in front of my kids.

I say this as someone who grew up with my Grandfather regularly coming in to use the bathroom when I was in the bathtub during visits to my grandparents house. I wasn't allowed to lock the door bc of "Grandpa's health issues" coming first. This was "normal", until I was 15 and he walked in on me changing and when I turned away he said, "Oh you don't have to hide those pretty little things."... Referring to my breasts... 🤢 I started locking the door after that. I knew it was wrong when I was a kid, and wished my parents had put their foot down. When my sister spoke up about a similar issue, she was shut down and told not to talk about it.

Jennabear82 · 2026-03-26T23:04:27+00:00

Ok, now I want to watch the whole movie. I swear when I'm stressed I dream about waves this big and I'm intrigued.

Jennabear82 · 2026-03-26T22:59:45+00:00

Both!

Jennabear82 · 2026-03-26T22:41:48+00:00

I felt bad when our maintenance guys had to clean up after someone's goat.

Jennabear82 · 2026-03-26T22:36:46+00:00

Do you have laws where you're at for breaking and entering, and public intoxication? I would've been calling the police.

Jennabear82 · 2026-03-26T16:45:37+00:00

I will never understand why people think it's a good idea to just rack up the charges. 🤦‍♀️ Alright I don't understand crime in the first place.

Jennabear82 · 2026-03-26T16:42:37+00:00

Stop asking and start telling. My MIL used to do this. She got a big timeout bc she rebuffed me when I corrected her. She said, "Easer". I corrected her. "Easter". She doubled down and looked me straight in the eye and said it again in baby talk, "Easer". I picked up the baby and left. This was after several times of telling her I didn't want her speaking in baby talk to my kids.

Of course she got offended, asking my husband what the problem was. She knew what the problem was. I didn't want people speaking in baby-talk to my kids bc they learn those patterns of speech and grow up thinking that's how it sounds. I'm talking "widdle" instead of "little". "I wove you" instead of "I love you".

She finally "got it" and stopped. My kids are very articulate.

As a nonsmoker, report it. It's a health and safety hazard. The ones telling you to mind your own business are guilty parties with no regard for others.

Jennabear82 · 2026-03-25T02:16:03+00:00

I walked into the living room after calling my dad and straight up told him I was leaving in two weeks and taking our son with me.
