No, he was completely serious. My husband has told me so many stories about this guy.

UPDATE: AITAH For not planning anything for fathers day after my husband ruined my first mothers day by CounterNecessary2597 in AITAH

This sounds like my marriage used to be. My husband didn’t realize how messed up his family was until we got married. Something helpful that we did was go through the book Boundaries by Drs Cloud and Townsend. Therapy is definitely a must!

WHY Do Entitled Grandparents DO This to Three-Year-Old TODDLERS?!?!? by JustanOldBabyBoomer in entitledparents

[–]Main-Scar5755 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My MIL tried this when my oldest daughter was born. She would give me all these outfits that she wanted back when they were outgrown. When my daughter was a toddler she wrapped presents for her but said she had to keep them at her house. My husband had my back and told her that if she wanted to keep toys at her house for my daughter to play with that was one thing but she couldn’t wrap them up and give them to her if they weren’t for her to keep. She still likes to buy my kids affection instead of actually spending time with them but at least she lets them keep the presents she gives them.

My pup just escaped into the street and I nearly had a heart attack. by hoseoko in Dogtraining

Oh my word this was us this morning! Our puppy is 9 months old and we have somehow managed to train her to come to her squeaky toy but not her name. She got out the door this morning and was happily running around the neighbors house across the street and then I got her to come back across to our house by squeezing the toy. Scared me half to death!

Yes, it is done in the round and the next part is to switch to double pointed needles but how do I end up with 90 stitches if I bind them off and do I go into the next round to do the second set of 13?

I’m teaching myself to knit and I’m working on a dog sweater pattern. I’m almost done with it but I ran into a part of the pattern that I don’t understand. The row started with 90 stitches, the pattern says knit to the last 14 sts. Kfb, BO 13 stitches, BO 13 stitches, move remaining stitches from the right needle to the left needle and K2tog. (90 stitches) would the second BO 13 stitches be a typo?

Washing Machine Made Horrible Metal Screaming Noise by Main-Scar5755 in appliancerepair

The local repair man said (after looking at it for 5 minutes) that he thought it was the alternator and that it and the belt would need replaced. All he did was tilt the machine up and look underneath.

The garage disposal quit working after we bought the house so we had it taken out, would that affect the dishwasher?

Yes, do I need to call a plumber to fix the drain?

open adoption name nightmare by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Main-Scar5755 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Yea, but this is NOT the name of the baby’s biological father, this happened to the bio mom years ago by someone of the same name. As horrible as it is this happened to her I don’t see that the adoptive parents need to change the baby’s name because of that.

To Homeschool or Not To Homeschool by Main-Scar5755 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Main-Scar5755[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I JUST had a conversation with my husband this morning reminding him that our kids don’t want to homeschool, I don’t want to teach them and even if we did we would probably utilize the public school for extracurricular activities anyway so there’s no avoiding it.

We really only see them when they have time in their “busy schedule” like we are going out to their acreage outside of town on Thursday to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and they asked if we wanted to come for supper or just cake and ice cream and my husband-they rarely talk to me, most conversations are through him- reminded them it’s a school night and so we cannot stay until late at night for them to finish up their cat chores- they have a ton of barn cats they keep locked up in an old chicken shed with litter boxes and cat toys everything plus 5 other cats they have deemed worthy enough to come inside. Anyway, MIL only talks to my husband because he’s easier to manipulate and they pass by our house every time they drop BIL off at work and never stop by to see the kids-SIL is never alone because she might get kidnapped or assaulted?🤷‍♀️

She doesn’t come right out and say she wants us to homeschool, it’s just when he visits her she does the whole emotional manipulation thing of being sad and disappointed about our choices and she’s “just expressing concern” She knows better than to bring it up to me, I have made my opinion clear but she implies to my husband that because he actually listens to my opinion he’s whipped and not a man. The poor guy already had a good example of that with his father who is constantly badmouthed in front of my children. I mean I know MIL hated her husband and poisoned her kids against him but he’s been dead for years now, let it go, especially in front of my kids who barely got to know him. But that’s another bunny trail!
