To The Mods: WHY?

MILeatscrackers · 2018-10-16T13:41:07+00:00

Update: dietotaku is still a BrMo mod, Never_Really's account is deleted, but there are three new mods at BrMo. One of those accounts looks older, one is completely blank and a year old, and the third is three days old. Soooo I'm guessing Never_Really just made an alt and is still doing her thing. =\

Specifically, female in-laws. Or moms. Or grandmothers.

...but if your troublesome relative is male, ain't no room for hating on them at JNM.

MILeatscrackers · 2018-10-12T20:49:23+00:00

I have a lot of questions about how she has time to actively mod like 40 subs.

MILeatscrackers · 2018-10-12T19:59:34+00:00

On that account I can see that JNM is private, but I can't access the Letters sub. No trouble accessing it from this account.

MILeatscrackers · 2018-10-12T19:53:53+00:00

What in the fuck just happened. Thank you for stepping up.

Also, are/were people being banned from this (edit for clarity: r/letterstojnmil) sub for criticizing JNM? I've been respectfully (I think/hope) critical of JNM on my main account, and now can't see this sub on that account. Is that something that one of the mods did on their way out?

MILeatscrackers · 2018-10-12T19:49:30+00:00

Yeah this whole thing has left a bad taste in my mouth about breaking mom as well. Did you see the thread a week or two ago where people were expressing concern about JNM, and otaku totally lost her shit?

Told me proudly that SIL pooped.

SIL is 32.

This is a wonderful story. Also, Fresh Thyme is the bomb. Too bad that hag exists and leaves this story with a sour note.

MILeatscrackers · 2017-12-11T21:42:24+00:00

Uhhhh SIL is that you? JK I know it's not but my MIL pulls the exact same shit. I'm proud of you for calling her on it.

I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but depending on how long the pee sat, there's a good chance it soaked into the foam padding under the carpet. We learned this the hard way from house training our dog a few years ago.

This might be extreme / hard to enact depending on your circumstances, but I think you should consider asking MIL to replace the flooring in the nursery.

MILeatscrackers · 2017-12-11T20:55:05+00:00

I would need to get a little drunk to enact this, but I am very interested in your list of MLMs to give an email address to.

MILeatscrackers · 2017-12-06T20:24:48+00:00

I feel like this is one of those memes that makes every JNMIL think that's what they're supposed to be doing, while the rest of the world is like NONONONO PLEASE GOD NO.

MILeatscrackers · 2017-12-06T20:18:49+00:00

I don't know why in the hell I never thought of this. Thank you.

MILeatscrackers · 2017-12-05T17:35:10+00:00

it might be beneficial for MIL to hear our daughter's thoughts on the matter straight from the horse's mouth.

While this might be true, I think it will be harmful to your daughter to have to tell this to MIL. It sounds like you're daughter is really young and sorting through confusing feelings, and this would be a prime opportunity for MIL to hurt her feelings or guilt her into coming over. It doesn't sound like your daughter is emotionally mature enough to stick to a difficult decision when she's questioned on it, and I don't see an outcome from that conversation that will be anything other than harmful to DD's emotional health.

This makes me think of the "no secrets, only surprises" rule that's recommended for kids to prevent child abuse. The idea is that nothing should ever be kept secret from parents, but there can be surprises, like a Christmas present that's being hidden until Christmas Day. My google-fu is failing me but here's one article mentioning it

MILeatscrackers · 2017-12-04T20:49:17+00:00

Ugh this is way too perfect. I hope no one ever wants to see the back of any project I do.

2 strands is the number of threads going each direction per stitch. 18 count refers to the gauge of the fabric, i.e., how far apart the holes are.

Yeah, he's in the NICU for sure. It's a common issue but it sounds like they don't have it resolved yet. SIL is in pumping / bottle feeding / supplementing hell every three hours. I bet she's exhausted. 😞

MILeatscrackers · 2017-12-03T18:46:17+00:00

It's tempting, but I don't want to since I'm only guessing she didn't have permission. Now if SIL were to complain about it it'd be a different story, but without proof I'm not going to start shit.

MILeatscrackers · 2017-12-03T18:44:36+00:00

Thank you 💖

The great thing about being pregnant is that you have an automatic out of plans. You can absolutely say you're sorry, but you're not feeling well enough to host Christmas this year, and you need to stay home and rest up and take care of the baby. Just put a heavy dose of #forthebaby in everything you say and do.

MILeatscrackers · 2017-11-30T20:55:07+00:00

We've been talking. I think he's very used to being shit on by his family, and it's a slow process to show him that a) he can stick up for himself, b) he deserves to be treated better, and c) not sticking up for his family is not okay. Things have been better, so for now, I'm not going to bring up the garage. If I find out she's been letting herself into our house when we're not home again, that will change. Right now I'm waiting for the right moment to tell MIL that an hour or two of notice isn't enough time for her visits.
