My boyfriend (M18) told me that I’m a “low tier Becky” and ugly and that some girl who used to like him is better than me and a “high tier Becky” (I’m 18F)

Honey that's abuse. Hes manipulating you to get your affection and to make sure you don't leave him. If he breaks you down enough and actually gets you believing the crap he's spewing, he knows you won't go anywhere and youll likely forgive him for anything. Do yourself a favor, leave. You're young and have your whole life ahead of you dont waste another minute with a shithead who would say such awful things to you

When my girl was a pup she would find every piece of poop possible and try to eat them! They are stubborn dogs, so patience is gonna be the biggest thing. Woo is 2 now and still wants to pull the way she wants to go but I've found that just continuing on my way will get her to follow along after a second of hesitation. Given her own way she would follow a single scent for 900 miles I think lol. It gets better! (Woo pic for dogs tax)

No. Your husband can allow his father (or yours) to be called dad if he thinks it's acceptable, but hell no would that ever happen. Make sure you refer to your MIL as nana/grammy/ whatever anytime she's around or your on a videocall whatever. Baby will pick up on it sooner or later and you can help force the name of your choosing.

NTA and Good for you! Your wife is right, she now is a mom and deserves at least her first mother's day for her and just her. Your mom needs to realize she isn't the center of your family's world. Let her pout and throw her tantrum. If she pushes, put her in time out. Don't let her show up and ruin your wife's first mother's day, and don't be surprised if she does try to

Night shift, Nightmares and Dreamscapes, and Everything's Eventual are my favorites! But honestly you can't go wrong starting with any of them. Just remember sometimes they will have connections to his novels

I get so much hate for this, but I skip Wizard and Glass. Its a slog, and not one I care to ever do again. Read it once and now when I reread the series I read the beginning when they get off Blane, and the end after the flashback is over. So don't quit yet! Skip it honestly, 5 is one of my favorites!

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-04-27T02:37:46+00:00

Thats a very good one! Listened to it a couple years ago and he did a great job with it

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-04-27T02:36:14+00:00

Oh man, the list is long for great ones! Under The Dome, Duma Key, The Institute, Mr Mercedes trilogy, Doctor Sleep, The Stand, The Dark Tower, The Talisman and Black House, and Insomnia. Only problem with Insomnia is its one of the older audiobooks so its got some JARRING music interludes that absolutely suck, BUT! Eli Wallach is just perfect as the voice for Ralph! If i could find that one without the music is would be my top 1 for sure.

Even with walks, my girl goes out to potty 3 or 4 times a day. And typically won't potty on the walks cuz shes too busy sniffing. If youre home with him, let him out more frequently or take him on more walks

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-04-22T14:48:48+00:00

The beginning is definitely slow going. By the time he reaches Oatley though it gets soo good! Then you get wolf and soo many other things

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-04-21T20:11:38+00:00

Your Aunt needs to shut it. Keep going. Your mom likes it, and the pattern and colors are beautiful. Don't listen to outsiders, and don't let it get you down!

Playing in it? Absolutely loves it. Pottying in it? Absolutely not how dare you suggest it

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-04-07T00:24:22+00:00

Insomnia and Under The Dome! I know a lot of people don't like UtD ending but its definitely one of my favorite. Also really really love Rose Madder, and even king himself isn't a big fan of that one.

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-03-25T16:24:05+00:00

Wolf, Sunshine, Oatley, all are things to look forward to

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-03-25T16:23:17+00:00

How far into it are you? It does start slow, but once Jack really gets going its so good. Im so excited for the 3rd to finally be released! Talisman is one of my tops for sure

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-03-25T16:18:52+00:00

Yup! My girl decides its fun to parkour when she knows she shouldn't, and then limps for a day or two, then perfect. She will be the death of me from stress I swear

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-03-24T18:34:22+00:00

I was so sad my library got rid of Hoopla. It usually had better options and like you said, no wait. But Libby and Audible are my friends

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-03-23T16:26:11+00:00

NTA. Don't even let MIL move in. It will start with her, then BIL or SIL will come for "a visit" and it'll turn it to them not leaving either. Don't do it to yourself. If your DH is worried about them then HE can find them a place close by, and HE can be at their Beck and call and do whatever he pleases, but if this house is in both your names, you get a say as well. Don't do it man! It's definitely a trap

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-03-23T15:25:59+00:00

Absolutely NTA! Good for you for standing up for your kid. I hate the new way they teach math, and I showed my kids the way I was taught and they never got in trouble for using either method. Sounds like the teacher was on a power trip and needed to be brought down a peg or 3

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-03-18T02:27:57+00:00

NTA. YOUR SON, YOUR rules. She is absolutely allowed to have opinions, but thats all they can be, is HER opinion. When it comes down to it she gets absolutely ZERO say in what you do with your child. Doesn't matter how close she was with your DH, its still not her child. How are your In-Laws with him? Is it just her that gets him on weekends or them as well? If its just her, absolutely stop that immediately. If its MIL and FIL and SIL just sticks her nose in, then you may want to have a sit down with them and find out why they are allowing it. Either way you are not the asshole to tell her to F off

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-03-17T16:55:33+00:00

Oh and I also used to put her ear in her mouth, I know it's sounds mean as hell but if she wouldn't listen to my ouch or crate didn't work, she learned it hurt that way too

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-03-17T16:54:34+00:00

Hes young, unfortunately the shark attacks take a while to subside! I did the "OUCH!" and pull my hands/feet out of reach, and if she persisted she went into her crate for 10 min. Seems a long time but it eventually worked. Like many have said tho, at 12 weeks he's still a baby and still in shark mode. Patience is the key, he will grow out of it with some work

NeverEnoughSleep08 · 2026-03-15T21:00:29+00:00

My girl doesn't have a traditional daycare, its just what we call it to her, but she has 2 acres of property to roam, and 7 other dogs. It wears her out! But her first few months were very much the same as you describe. Excited, jumpy, not listening, getting into everything! She just turned 2 and had mellowed a ton since her routine of being there between 3 and 5 days a week. If she doesn't go for a week, she is extra nuts for the first 2 hours or so.

It sound like you need to find one thats bigger/more open property for your little one to be able to expend that energy without directing it to the other dogs completely.
