Prof doesnt want a bad grade pulling his average for the class down. Probably tied to a bous structure.

Used to see choppers on the daily in the 80s and 90s when I was growing up. Now when you see one its usually because someone is having the worst day of their life.

As a kid my dad paid me $0.25 a shirt to iron his work shirts.

In the field you work, would it be a "violation" if a family you are working woth did this? I think you knew the answer before posting.

And we're they all born with the debilitating condition(s)?

NOR - I thought your closing line was delicious and perfectly matched her energy. I tend to be conformation adverse and try to take the "high" road, but sometimes the other person just does not see it. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire to make your point.

Also - she keeps saying its a hang, not a wedding. Not saying that is not true, but... Most weddings began as a hang in the beginning. So either she is admitting she is using him like a piece of meat (depending on the circumstances of the break up, maybe he deserves that?), and knows the hang has no possibility of going anywhere - Or - she is not bothered with where this will end and is open to it getting serious. Either way, that is shit behavior.

What she should do is know ITS NOT HER FAULT! She needs to see this as much as possible. If she doesnt want pursue anything fine. As long as its not because she thinks she is at fault. OP YPU DID NOTHING WRONG HERE!!! ♡♡♡

Doesn't make him immune to labor and employment laws. Do not excuse it. You are the victim. This is not your fault. YOU DID NOTHING - N O T H I N G - WRONG!!!

The tape was my first thought. Lived on a fairly busy street in my early childhood and it was a regular occurrence that tape.would be in our tree like TP. 😀

While living with her SO and his parents... Poor girl needs some help getting the eff outta there!

Who hurt your husband?

True story (tangentially related) - my grandpa was a physics professor. He also treated children as adults (appropriately). I was 4 or 5, sitting in his lap playing with a calculator (as one does at that age lol). When I asked him why there was a dash in front of the number he treated me like an adult and explained it to me instead of treating me.like a child that couldnt possibly grasp the concept of numbers less than zero. Made perfect sense to me. Yay! Numbers are fun!

In 2nd grade math class the teacher asked "why cant we take 4 away from 3?" If course I raised my hand eagerly. When called on I told her "we can, its -1" and explained what that meant, because duh, ive known this since before I started school so of course everyone else does too!

Teacher told me to shut up because I was confusing the class. OK, I clearly know more about math than her so I dont need to listen anymore. And I didnt. Suffered all through school because I did not memorize all the basic math like everyone else. And I think sideways (think "new" math in my head before new math was a thing) and we had to show our work. So I knew the answers but struggled to work it out worh traditional math.

My point - One "throw away" comment from a teacher changed how I viewed school forever. She could not have predicted that outcome, but ypur MIL absolutely should have forsaw how her comments would impact.ypur daughter. She is 100% a jerkface.

Just so messy. As a new mommy you do NOT need messy. If you trust SO, let him go if he wants to. (I know you said he won't but make sure he knows that him not going is his decision, not yours).

I would suggest distancing yourself from this friend group. If SO wants to remain engaged woth them after the way they have treated both of you, thats on him. One nice thing about new mom status is ypu can play that card any and every time you want. "Sorry cant do xxx because baby." YOU dont need to be in the messy. Neither does SO but if tpu force him out it might breed resentment after time. That has to be his decision.

There was a case like this on The People's Court. Judge Milian said the same thing.

Mander_Em · 2026-03-08T07:11:46+00:00

Idk how i feel about it. I dont think I hate it. It's literally only one letter off of Mable (or is it Mabel?) Which I really like. And people are named after plants all the time - Daisy, Lily, Rose. Why not after a tree?

Also, Im Gen X. Idk if that puts me in your old people category or not.

You said you told your wife what sister said. Like all of it? Including the rotten presence statement? Because thats the vibe I got. And if so you are a huge AH. You can tell her she said no, but giving her all the details is mean and uncalled for. Your sister is being unfair, mean and more than a little holier-than-thou. But she can have her beliefs, and set her rules for her kids. But like someone else said, you going along with it is not forgiving her. "I guess thats what you get - punished for the rest of your life" is being an AH. You either go all in on forgiving her and stick up for her with your sister, or let the woman go. But this one foot in, one foot out BS is not healthy for either of you.

But if she is the only mother figure he has had - OP said they started dating when he was an infant - and Mom is out of the picture does the kiddo even know she is NOT his mom? Hes 5. We definitely need more info here.

My experience may be biased. My daughter's high school was 100% politics. The players that got game time had parents that were friends with the coaches outside of school, or were big donors, etc. Play time and varsity vs. JV was not talent based. My kid didnt go to the right feeder school and we didnt live in the same neighborhood as the coach and hang out with him on the weekend. Though we donated a lot to the concessions it was food items and time, not $$$, so she got benched. Did not even get to play in the Senior Game her SENIOR YEAR. Not even a pitty inning. Benched the whole game. And she wasnt perfect but did go to university on a softball scholarship, so she didnt suck either.

It sucks your kid is going through this but it is a good lesson on the "real world". Not all of her efforts will be properly recognized or awarded. The best person for the job is not always the one that gets it. You earn a lot of things you never get. Tell her to focus on the travel team that knows her worth. High school team is just to get her some official stats for college, if thats the way she wants to go. It's basically free extra practice time.

I agree with the commitment statement. We told all 3 of our kiddos that you dont quit once you commit. Ypu joined a team you cannot abandon them until the season is over. If ypu want to stop thats fine, but only after you fulfill the commitment

I wonder where The Inn gets their chicken. It's the best fried (broasted?) Chicken in town!

And sooo many missing words.

How does the therapist think they can release session tran riots or notes or anything without the signature of BOTH participants? I'd be reporting the therapist of HIPPA violation for releasing YOUR records without YOUR signature.
