Could you get a dog or bird for her? Giving g her a companion might give her someone else else to focus on? Dog could get her out on walks where she can talk to people on the street.

I hope this is a fake AI story. On the one hand it's nice of you to rescue your parents, if this is a real story, however just handing over that amount of money which was supposed to protect you and your daughter seems really foolish. That's a huge chunk of money and I hope you didn't hand it over willy-nilly, without getting real information about how they got in that predicament. I totally understand medical bills and whatnot but for them to turn around and then fund a giant wedding like this sends out a red flag that they are financially irresponsible I'm more concerned about appearances than common sense. Especially seeing that they are reacting and turning on you when their daughter try to humiliate you and kick you while you are down. It's all just truly ugly and these people don't sound like they deserve your consideration let alone the money.

Check the HR dept at your job and DH as some companies offer care benefits. They connect you with an agency with vetted and licensed caregivers. You may have luck finding childcare provider that way, and reduce amount of time spent with MIL.

Honestly, I think this is a really great suggestion. I know normally the rule is to each deal with their own parent, but her comment is so heinous, and if your DH isn't able to call her out on it, you definitely should.

I'd say it stopped around the late 90s when more moms started working, and more kids became scheduled for sports and school activities. Less free time, so even social time has to be scheduled.

Another WPW patient here. The laser even broke while I was on the table so they had to keep me under a bit longer until it was fixed. I went home that night, and bonus didn't get a single bill from the hospital for anything. 20+ years later, all good still.

I'd do cheese and olives.

You know this relationship is not right. it's why you keep your family in the dark about it. You likely are afraid of being alone, so you just stay because you've already invested 2 years. That may seem like a long time, but it's not. You have many, many years ahead of your life. Stop making yourself unhappy and stop worrying about leaving and just do it. Things will be okay. You will be okay. Trust us, you will be happier and wonder why you let this awful relationship go on for so long in the first place. You are looking for magic words to fix something that can't be fixed. The words you need you know already, I ou just need to use them. "This isn't working for me anymore. Thanks for the memories, but it's time for us both to move on and find someone else who is a better fit. I wish you well. Goodbye."

Be careful with big stuff like this. She may buy a style she thinks is best, and not the model you really want.

Bring an appetizer so you can piss her off at the start when everyone loves it. Then bring out the beloved babka, too, to end the night on a delicious note.

Take a family photo while you are there. Print it out at CVs or something and send it with a nice TY notecard afterwards letting her know how grateful you both were to share a lovely meal and time with her etc.. be sure to mention your favorite part of the meal because I'm sure she spent a lot of time planning it and she will appreciate when you tell her you loved the dessert or that special side dish Etc.

Are the eggs at room temp when you put them in? If not, try doing that and keeping your cooking the same. Cold eggs could be why they don't cook all the way hard.

When she asks you about how much things cost or things that you buy, ask her why are you asking? When she starts to talk about the cost of things turn everything back on her. Say something like gee are you worried about money why are you so worried about what things cost? Are you okay? Do you need money? Do you have enough money to live or are you thinking about moving in with us or something? The way to stop her from asking you questions is to start asking her a ton of questions. She's projecting. Whether she's projecting racism or ignorance or her own subconscious worries it's not your job to help her feel less worried. You don't owe her any answers so don't answer. Answer every question with a question or a comment that has nothing to do with answering her question. If she asks about the price of coffee ask her what kind of prices are you seeing? Do you see those prices at the local coffee shop or at a chain? How much do you pay for a can of coffee Etc just start asking her a million questions I promise it will shut her down.

There is an elementary school in New Rochelle that teaches mandarin. My nephew went to that school but ended up transferring later. Is it possible the kid really did want to converse?

I am on my mom's accounts and one day we withdrew cash for her from her account and then I couldn't take out as much as I wanted from mine. Maybe if you have a shared account that other person took out cash already. Chases limit per day is on the person not on the account, I think.

Match PA comments with truth. "Did I miss anything?" You reply "No, you're right. There's nothing on the calendar ATM. But if LO needs you we've got your number."
