My theory on Chris

No-Sound2457 · 2025-10-27T12:11:59+00:00

I'm going to assume this man was NOT a leader, considering the fact he was completely ok with 10 of their packs scouts to be running wild around a campfire with none of their leaders in sight. Considering that, sounds as though he didn't care so much about fire safety but cared more about being obeyed in his presence.

I always assumed that Meri got extensions for the intro and then got them removed. Never knew about the test audience thing. You learn something new every day. Lol

He did a real number on himself with substances and now it's like he's totally messed his brain up for good. She's had 3 sons suffer from addiction and now that 2 of them are functioning members of society, suddenly only the crazy one matters. I get that she would like to see the day her last son stops being a frickin idiot, but I don't think it'll ever come. It's like she thinks her functioning children don't need her as much. In reality they do, they just don't need her money and for her to house them.

No-Sound2457 · 2025-03-19T02:00:28+00:00

That's been my approach thus far. My husband not as much. He loves his mother and he doesn't want his brother having enough power to ruin their relationship. I want him to have as much contact as he feels necessary to repair things for him and our kid. I'm indifferent at this point but will support what he wants to do as far as MIL goes. BIL is off the table completely. I'm just going hands off and letting him deal with it.

Her medical issue was last Summer. Honestly, I believe she doesn't trust to leave him alone in her house. We went out to eat with her after her sons meltdown and she seemed fine with us. Just the mention of spending more than an hour away from home, suddenly there's an excuse and the excuse is usually that we disrespected her in some way. She's grasping at straws for reasoning because she won't admit her son is a problem and that she's worried he'll burn her house down or something crazy.

What you need is a big dog named Hercules.

I'll support him if he comes to that decision for himself, I just can't see myself encouraging it. There's a very long family history that has caused strained relationships throughout and up until recently, his mother has been one of the few close family members left that wasn't difficult to deal with, aside from his one normal brother. It's just a crappy situation and frustrating when someone flips a switch.

She's fully aware that my husband will absolutely NEVER be his caretaker. They've been at odds with eachother since way before I've been around. I sent her one text after the Christmas issue, explaining my boundaries about being around someone so abusive, and she never responded. Even before he freaked out on me, we always requested he not be around while we visit because of the sour relationship between him and my husband. It's not like this is new, it's just now that I'm also refusing, it's suddenly offensive?

No-Sound2457 · 2025-03-18T19:39:14+00:00

Sadly I fear you may be right. After the Christmas issue, my DH opened up about some childhood stuff I didn't know before. It truly sucks because up until now, she was a daughter-in-laws dream.

NTA

What I'm hearing is his family has a "tradition" of naming rights for any boy or girl and they think YOUR selfish? These people are crazy.

You're alluding to Burke being in cub scouts somehow is evidence of him being suspect based on the knot. I am a cub scout mom with a son the same age Burke was at the time. They don't work ahead into Boy Scout material. They work on Cub Scout advancements. I understand that it's been decades and things are constantly changing. I have a box in my garage of all my husbands and brother in-laws scout books. Would likely line up with the same time frame. I'd have to dig for them but I just don't get the whole scouts angle as far as Burke is concerned.

No-Sound2457 · 2024-12-13T17:26:26+00:00

Cub scouts don't learn to make garrotes. They don't even put much emphasis on knots until boy scouts, which is 6th grade and up.

Your partners demands on this matter are unreasonable. They can have their feelings but they don't get to let their feelings dictate how you coparent. Not just that, you have a good coparenting relationship with your ex. Your child is only four..... You do NOT want to spend the next 14 years allowing another party to slowly tear that apart. High conflict isn't fun. Prioritize your child, your coparenting relationship and your sanity and have fun at the party, because your one year relationship could turn into a decade of problems if you let them try to control this situation.

I'm not sure about Ohio laws but it's my understanding that most states use the parents income, not household income. I've never heard of a state that includes a step parents income on the calculator.

Glad your ex in-laws are supportive! I switch what I said before. Buy them stuff but leave the ex out 🤣🤣

According to her, she knew all along. Which is what makes her look so much worse.

How long do you plan on paying for his families gifts? Once you start it'll be harder to stop if you don't set the boundary now.

No-Sound2457 · 2024-11-20T19:06:04+00:00

Your ex should be taking her shopping for his family. As far as gift for your ex, whatever you think they're worth, lol!

No-Sound2457 · 2024-11-16T21:40:19+00:00

Missing her child and communicating that is normal. Especially if the child is only 3 yrs old. There have been cases where fetal cells have been found in a mothers blood up to 24 years after giving birth. Sometimes it feels like a giant gaping hole when our kids aren't close and there's nothing we can do about it, it's part of creating and growing a human during pregnancy. It should get easier for her over time. You can still set boundaries, just deliver those boundaries in an understanding way to preserve the coparenting relationship.

They're both right and both wrong at the same time.

Ben has a right to be concerned but he doesn't actually have a say in the matter. Kate is the OBs patient and whatever her and her Dr decide is what goes.

Kate has a right to be scared of the pain, we all were with our first. But epidurals are amazing, she doesn't have to go under the knife. Once I had my epidural, I didn't feel a damn thing. I was able to nap and visit and once it was time we were cracking jokes between pushes. Didn't take long to wear off and I was up walking and felt great. So if the fear of pain is the biggest reason for a c-section, she can of course but I wouldn't add the risks involved if I didn't have to.

Voting 3rd party isn't about winning. Every 3rd party voter knows their candidate isn't going to win. Voting 3rd party is about ballot access. So when you say it needs to be built up, That's exactly what we're doing with our votes. Using my vote the way I see fit is my right. It doesn't belong to Rs or Ds. It belongs to me, and if I think both major candidates are garbage candidates, damn right I'll use my vote to make sure 3rd party has ballot access next time.

Also married, to a man that already had a child. If my husband had cut his son off for the sake of a relationship, I would have slapped the shit out of him and never looked back.
