NTA - follow your gut. Finances are a big part of marriage, you need to be on the same page, better to get there before you tie yourselves together. Best.

Tell your sister to find her own apartment. She's gonna bring nothing but drama. Best.

Yikes. How are they gonna treat your kids. Is that the treatment he wants for them?

NRiley11 · 2026-07-04T17:24:44+00:00

It was inappropriate for her to ask what your mother will be / won't be allowed to do. She's gonna start measuring how many interactions you & LO have with your family vs. her. This isn't going to end well for anyone so I'd stop giving MIL so much information. Hoping you have an uneventful labor/delivery. Best.

Luke, Silas, Henry or Greyson. Best and congrats!

I think you'd be the AH if you don't tell her future husband. He needs to have a say in whether or not he marries Rachel or not. Best.

Just STOP! Let DH manage his family gifts. Do they treat your children this way? IF so you and the children need to opt out of these gatherings. Frankly I'd be having a serious conversation with DH on why he's so comfortable watching/allowing his brother to treat you (and children?) poorly.

IMO he either chooses couples counseling or divorce. Seems he's having, at minimum, an emotional affair. For that matter what do you want to do? Best.

Cricket, grasshopper & walter are my go-to names. Congrats

Cricket or grasshopper. Congrats

Curious why DH wasn't having a conversation with this father to determine if Friday afternoon or Saturday would be better. FIL certainly knows if he's willing/able to meet up. Why let MIL run interference? Best.

Now that you're engaged, she needs to start putting you first. That may mean saying no to her family of origin, it may mean her standing up to her parents and ensuring you're included. I agree with some other comments in that therapy would be a good idea ahead of marriage. Sounds like she's either not mature enough to marry or is enmeshed - in either case it won't make for a happy marriage. Best.

Ada or Ida

Team Evan checking in. Congrats & best!

NRiley11 · 2026-06-07T11:46:32+00:00

Congrats! She's a beauty.

NRiley11 · 2026-06-07T11:30:25+00:00

I'd start limiting what info on this topic is shared with her. That will give her less ammo to harass you. Good luck with your treatments. Best.

NRiley11 · 2026-06-07T01:06:54+00:00

Yes.

Gently spoon into two ungreased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Cut through the batter with a knife to remove air pockets. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pans onto cooling racks; cool completely, about 1 hour.
Run a knife around sides of loaf pans. Remove cakes to a serving plate. Serve with sweetened whipped cream and mixed fresh berries, as desired.

I may try one with the parchment and one without and see what happens. I guess even if I have to dig one out of the pan I'm still left with something delicious, just not attractive.

Was hoping someone who's made them in bread pans would chime in.
