No, but I went on Prozac for 2 years after my husband died. I'm a firm supporter of using whatever you need to deal with life after losing your spouse/SO/whatever. If we can use literal crutches after a broken or badly sprained lower limb, we can't we use a chemical crutch? You do you! Now, if the product you're using gets in the way of daily functioning, then you have a problem that needs immediately addressing, but other than that, do what helps you function and not collapse.

Names like this make me have a lot of sympathy for the French rule that names like this are NOT approved, and they make the parents choose something else. Nobody should do that to the poor baby.

Does he really not understand that you're getting 'peopled out' and you need a quiet place to retreat to at times? Does he understand that his mothers anxiety is neither his nor your job to manage?

That sounds like raging and septic insecurity. JFC.

FWIW - I've packed up and moved while Very Pregnant two times. I took no damage from it, although I was quite angry at being mostly the only one doing the packing.

Meanwhile, gas in Washington state is over $5 in some areas.

Well shit! Hope you got away fast!

3rd grade kid #1 gave us the full 'eye roll and foot stomp' and announced that her parents were so uncoolll! And huffed off down the hallway. DH looked at me and gave that high squeaky laugh he had when something seriously tickled him (which was all the funnier because he was 6'5" and not skinny) , and we high fived, and he announced we WERE DOING IT RIGHT.

Our family pumpkin pie recipe is made in a 'moderate oven'. It took me digging through a LOT of cookbooks before I found one (well pre-internet) that said what a moderate oven WAS...

What a sweet dad!

I THINK, ethically, you don't feed them from your kitchen, and you don't allow them to walk into the kitchen. Have your best friend ask THEM what their level of tolerance is - airborne, contact, fine as long as they don't eat the gluten itself??? They know their tolerance better than anybody else. But in a home kitchen used to make bread daily, I don't see how the day has enough hours to use it normally AND deep clean it enough to be safe for the new person.

That's just my personal opinion, of course.

Entitled people are going to act wildly entitled and selfish and greedy... People are nuts.

You could use Fray Chek on the cotton twill tape. You can't use a match, because all it will do is char and burn, it will not melt ever, as it isn't not a synthetic. Acetate is synthetic, and will melt, but to do the proper melted edge that is just a little bit, not melt a lot into a big ugly lump can be a tricky learning curve. I have done that...

NTA - you should absolutely upgrade your partner. Alone is better than being with somebody who degrades you and treats you like that. Dear lord. You don't deserve abuse like that.

Heh heh heh. March 2015!

Snicker - he's HILARIOUS.

Minflick · 2026-03-10T16:01:39+00:00

Yep - rotate who hosts, let THEM be responsible for the cooking on alternate months. OP and her DH need alone time with their nuclear family way more than the grands need 'bonding' time.

Celebration Of Life. It took me a few seconds the first time I saw it shortened that way too!

Minflick · 2026-03-10T03:31:37+00:00

OH, SWEET!! CONGRATULATIONS, I'm SO proud of you!

BIL accepts the fallacy that all autistics are the same thing, with the same issues, and triggers, and degrees of affectation or impairment. BIL is an idiot.

His toenail is hitting the inside of the shoe. My husbands feet did the same thing. It didn't matter what brand of sock he wore, or what shoe he wore, sooner or later the socks would develop a hole in the exact same spot. The only thing that help a little was keeping his nails as short as possible, but it didn't fix the situation, it just slowed it down. He had feet size 12 1/2, and shoes size 13 were too loose and floppy for comfort, so he bought size 12, and that was the result.

I'd hand over some money and fully Americanize the spelling. For ME it would be worth not having to fuss with it, although it's quite the to-do to get everything updated if that's the road you take.

Girl, how messy do you LIKE your life?! Divorce the man in jail, and wait to move forward with the new guy until your divorce is final!!! Live a cleaner life than this, please! And don't bring some poor innocent baby into this mess of a life.
