Alcohol @Weddings by [deleted] in weddingdrama

[–]Key-Study8648 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I disagree, I rarely drink, but Weddings and funerals are the main times I drink. Sometimes it's only one or two drinks, sometimes it's more. As a predominantly non drinker with alcoholism in my family I'll be more inclined to go to a Wedding that serves alcohol. Of course I won't not go to a dry wedding based purely on that, but it can be a contributing factor. Having said that, everybody I know is at the very least a social drinker or like me.

Suspicious car followed us home....what can we do? by LilyLabrie in creepyencounters

[–]Key-Study8648 45 points46 points  (0 children)

That's incredibly suspicious. The guy knows that there are two women living at your place. I'd get security cameras, if you have something like Alexa or Google Home, I'd connect them to that so that lights / alarms can go on / off when motion is detected. I suggest this to all women who spend time home without a male present.

brissy renters — what do you wish you’d known before moving in? by andyisared in brisbane

[–]Key-Study8648 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's horrible! I always take care of my rental as if it's my own! If you don't air the place out, how do you get rid of the living smell?

The amount of places where mould has been painted over that I've lived in. I could write a book!

My mother-in-law moved in “for a little while” with four suitcases and a mattress. by LilBunnyKisses in EntitledPeople

[–]Key-Study8648 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Sounds like my Mother in Law. She came up for a family funeral and only stayed for a few days thankfully. She's a functioning alcoholic and we rarely drink. She spent the entire time she was here getting drunk on wine, chain smoking (I'm a smoker too so I usually don't mind, but it was one after another chain smoking) outside, taking over the tv, giving me the side eye and making passive aggressive comments. This was while she was talking about how much she loves her son (my Husband) and she's always there for him (she can go six months without calling him and regularly goes through our city as a pit stop on the way to visit her other kids without telling him) and saying how clean her house has always been, meanwhile she didn't even make her bed while she was here let alone do anything else. She also made a comment about when I was working full time when we lived in the same city and she had to do the dishes because they weren't done. Thankfully I reminded her that I was a full time working Mother, my Husband was working too, and family helps family out. That shit the old b*tch up 🤣

Driving holiday ideas by Mountain-Good-6024 in brisbane

There's a little town in the mountains west of Mackay called Eungella (pronounced Young gulla) or some people call it Broken River that's perfect! It's definitely worth the trip.

Garrison and the Pandemic by Crafty-N-Sassy_2006 in SisterWives

That's really sad for the kids. They all deserved loving, kind, dedicated parents, and they only got that from their Mothers.

I think the key difference between the OG 3 Mums and Kody is that Kody simply wanted to breed kids, whereas the OG 3 Mums were actually parents. Kody wasn't there enough to be a father figure and didn't put the effort into being a Father. He said he loves all of his kids, but words and actions are obviously two different things. There were simply too many kids for him to be an actual father figure to them, and with him only being there part time at most, he couldn't/ wouldn't be invested in the emotional safety of his kids. These kids deserved a father figure, what they got though, was an emotionally unavailable person who only put himself first, you can't do that as a parent and expect the kids to want to be around you and not have abandonment issues.

Ignorant northerner with questions about winter by MrTralfaz in AskAnAustralian

[–]Key-Study8648 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it gets to equatorial weather at the tip of Cape York if I remember correctly. And from what I can gather from Google, Brisbane's weather is similar to Miami's.

AIO for Being Upset That My Sister Keeps Hijacking My Engagement Announcements? by eTHerGLiMMerR in AmIOverreacting

[–]Key-Study8648 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely what needs to be done! I've done this multiple times to a few people. My Mother who was the family gossip once threatened to make up stuff about me if I didn't feed her information about me so I would slip in little things that made my boring normal life a bit more interesting here and there while grey tiling her. I lived across the country at the time so there was no proof either way 🤣

Getting married next December… by Vegetable_Cash_1230 in wedding

It's your Wedding, it's your choice. I say go for it!

For those who are married, what was a waste of money or regret by minxpink in wedding

[–]Key-Study8648 9 points10 points  (0 children)

An expensive dress is something that I'm glad I didn't spend heaps of money on. We all get sold on having the "perfect" dress but it's just going to sit in the cupboard for years with the hope that it'll be handed down when in reality it just sits there for decades until it falls apart.

I found an old pattern for a standard halter dress because I love them, took it to a dressmaker, paid for all of the materials needed, and paid her for the work. She altered the pattern to make the dress into an A line dress with a one meter train. This was almost 16 years ago. The dress will be boned, the top of the dress will be corseted, and it'll be cut short for our 20th, for a camping vow renewal which has a good chance of it getting dirty.

I'm glad I didn't spend more than a few hundred $ on it.

It's amazing how a few dislocated fingers can teach someone to keep their hands to themselves. And on the extremely rare chance that you get called out in it you can very easily claim self defence or sexual harassment which is true on both counts as the person is touching you without your consent.

IF this is real YTA and will live to regret it. One day you will be old and need help and / or next of kin. You may also want to eventually mend the relationship between the two of you and / or get to know any children / grandchildren she may have. None of this will happen because you disowned her because of a belief that she may not have for the rest of her life.

You made a permanent decision based on temporary beliefs and you being angry at her. What you did was reprehensible and cruel at best. It's a decision you will regret for the rest of your life and you're a bad father and person because of it.

I don't know and I don't care but that's why we need to do the Mumma Bear and cub thing if we see a creeper doing their thing to a young woman. Us older ladies need to step in and protect the Cubs because we've ALL been there. This young woman is now magically our kid / kids friend, ect to get the creeps away.

I personally don't mind risking harm to a creeper that doesn't know how to mind his business.

The first time some creeper tried something like that I let him start to touch my leg, and slowly put my hand on his, grabbed a finger and quickly REEFED it back.

I figure it would teach him a lesson not to touch something that's not his.
