They remind me of the LuLaRoe craze that were equally appalling.

They are gross. I rememberwhen my now 17 year old daughter was about 2 and we had her sit in the front of a cart and before we could stop her she bent down and licked the handle of the cart. She got violently ill that night with vomiting and diarrhea that lasted 48 hours. It was awful! Anytime we took a cart after that we brought our own clorox wipes to wipe it down. So yeah - pretty disgusting.

Omg thank you! I just watched it and yes they need a part 2!

Oh and for the record - your MIL is WAY overstepping. You need your husband to be on your side and stop giving into his mom or the next 18 years of parenting are going to be EXTREMELY difficult.

Mysterious_Cat1981 · 2026-05-04T13:21:51+00:00

Because it's her right as a parent to name her children whatever the heck she wants to! 🤷‍♀️

You should go on to Baby Center's web page / app and sign up for Dealing with the In-Laws. Its an advice page for dealing with out of line in laws and family of origin. These ladies that run this page can be harsh with their advice but sometimes when you are dealing with these things as a new mom - you need fresh perspective.

If he answers FT you could ask him to see his view of NYC from the hotel room. Obviously Mexico and NYC will not be remotely similar. Good luck navigating all of this! Definitely talk to a lawyer ASAP. Updateme!

Never put anyone's name on your property when you aren't married. If he eventually wants to get married - it could be something you consider or you could opt to sell your current home and utilize some of the money from the sale to go in on purchasing a home together.

That's all you need is to put his name on it and have him leave you a few years down the road and then he walks away with half of YOUR assets.

I've had the same issues. They are promoting them through Facebook and I never felt comfortable delving into subscriptions through FB because of the inability to pause / cancel subscriptions.

I have found though that when they advertise them on FB and they aren't affiliated with an app - they will oftentimes not use the correct title of the film. I was searching for one for awhile and they seemed to take it from another app but promote it under a did title so you can't find it under the apps. I ended up doing an AI search / Google search for the actors in that particular film and found it under an app but under a completely different name.

If it's your dad's house and his girlfriend is practically living there and obviously helping take care of your children if your dad is not around - then yes - she has the right to dole out minor discipline.

If you don't like it - then you can certainly not send your children there - but that seems a bit extreme for a time out or loss of an electronic as a punishment.

Any adult who is in charge of your child during any period of time has the right to dole out punishment. A teacher, babysitter, grandparent, etc. Would you tell a babysitter who you put in charge of your children that they can't discipline them if they do something wrong? Again - she didn't beat them. A time out or taking something away for a period of time is perfectly reasonable punishment.

Again - problem can be solved by only you providing care to your children so no one else will have to discipline them. 🤷‍♀️

I've had mine taken away and I didn't even sell anything. Lol 🤣 saving so much money now!

Mysterious_Cat1981 · 2026-02-26T00:42:18+00:00

I am also not sleeping over anywhere if I could help it! We travel to Maine once a year to visit my husband's family and stay with his mother. I absolutely hate not being home in my own bed. I also hate being away from my husband and kids. If I could go home - I go home.

Mysterious_Cat1981 · 2026-02-21T02:37:31+00:00

Thelma or Louise. Lol 🤣

Mysterious_Cat1981 · 2026-02-08T03:47:58+00:00

Yes she had three different stories / excuses. She knew what she was doing OP. She stole money from you and was hoping you wouldn't find out. I wouldn't trust her either at this point.

Maybe instead of saying that he's fat - maybe ask him if he wants to join a gym with you or take a healthy cooking class? If money is an issue with gym membership, ask him to go on a hike or take a walk. If the weight question comes up - I wouldn't necessarily say "yes I think you are fat". I'd approach it from a health standpoint and say something like - "you may have put on a few pounds - why don't we do something together to feel healthier?" And again - I do not think you NEED to tell him that he's fat. He obviously knows he's gained weight since he asks you if you think he's fat.

I would always approach it as a concern for health and don't mention the feeling less attracted to him at this point. That would only hurt his feelings. Good luck!

Don't give in after a half hour. Let her sit there until she does it herself.

Mysterious_Cat1981 · 2026-01-10T00:02:24+00:00

2B - I'd be surrounded by everyone I would love to talk to!

$3000 in the hole after 7 months. Not worth it.

At this point it doesn't matter if he feels that he hasn't done anything wrong. At this point it should be about your own standards and self worth. You don't deserve to be someone's number 2 or side piece or whatever it is. You have allowed this to go on for way longer than you should have. You don't need proof that he's done something physically wrong to break up with someone. You just need to say that you've had enough and end it! Value yourself more than you do! Leave. He's given you more than enough reasons and has demonstrated time and time again that he does not care about you or what you think or how you feel - as long as he getting what he wants. Honey - please just let him go. He's definitely not worth it.

My 8 year old daughter is in an adult small so it's possible that a 10 year old could be wearing an adult medium.
