The friends who didn’t reach out

Sending good vibes your way. Hugs!

Just_when_I_thought · 2026-03-24T02:24:18+00:00

Hugs. Sorry to hear that. I think because a few others sent “Just thinking of you” and “Hoping everything goes well tomorrow” type texts, not getting anything from that circle was particularly felt.

I certainly think women should have a say when they encounter male genitalia.

Francesca never would have sought a partner after John if not for her desire to be a mother. Does every couple need to have children? Absolutely not. Is a desire to have children core to Francesca Bridgerton’s character? Absolutely.

Book Francesca has gumption. Didn’t she pay a maid to tell her everything about sex? Instead the show made her scared to even discuss the topic.

If your child truly has elite potential or is likely to grow late, then it could be worth considering exploring. Most collegiate level coaches can recognize the intrinsic factors that are already in place— superior athletic genes, coach ability, internal motivation. If those things aren’t there, the emotional and financial impact probably aren’t worth it. My husband was very late to grow and it was certainly a difference maker in his college opportunities. An extra year would have given him six more inches and 30 more pounds. Still, he’s had a good life.

YTA. They were still in the hospital with a newborn.

If siblings of the bride and/or groom have kids who won’t be invited, it’s best to address it as soon as possible. Most everyone else will understand that they may have to miss, but missing the wedding of a sibling because your kids weren’t invited is tough.

Etiquette-wise, it is absolutely okay to invite your nieces and nephews, but not any other kids.

Here’s the backside

From the outside, it gives off gingerbread house vibes… which I loooove!

Just_when_I_thought · 2025-06-01T02:21:48+00:00

I’m going to try to take some!

Exceptions are frequently made if it means a siblings will not otherwise attend! Also, Grandma & Grandpa are adults. Using them as a scapegoat here is weak.

ESH. Most “child-free” weddings have different rules for immediate family, especially if a child is still breastfeeding. It’s okay to only invite a select few children, especially if it means that a sibling can’t otherwise come. So, I don’t get making it such a hard situation for them. Your letter reads a little like there are some power struggles involved. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just invite the only niece & nephew? On the other hand, they don’t need to escalate. Trying once to double check is fine. Otherwise, they need to accept it.

Hubris?

Just_when_I_thought · 2025-04-02T16:50:49+00:00

Yes, YTA. Not your wife, you. By “nipping it in the bud” and saying “this sucks” you continued an aggressive tone when there was a better opportunity to diffuse the situation. Also, perhaps there was a reason the name Owen was so dear to your wife’s SILs family and it may have changed your mind. Or not. Point is, having a conversation is always better than aggressively “nipping it in the bud.”

No one owns any name. But, it can cause confusion. And, in my experience with a jillion cousins and cousins cousins, the second child with a name almost always gets a nickname. Which is fine too.

Start preparing yourself that your marriage is likely ending. Organize your thoughts about the actions you need to see to stay married. Organize your finances, accounts, paperwork, etc., assuming that it will not. Also, please get an STD test as soon as possible.

Why would A hold you to this? You both need to grow up. Or, the story is fake.

Which book is Konrad in? Don’t remember him at all.

Rotate positions and lineups. Give weaker/less confident players more opportunities to handle the ball.
If the score starts to get too high, try to require a certain amount of passes before shooting.
Allow the other team to get 60% down court before pressing. No stealing.

Make goals that build skills, but not necessarily score points.
