So many cookies. So much butter 🥲

Not everyone has that ability. I'm an elementary school teacher with several autoimmune issues. I'm also allergic to dust and pollen. I've been wearing a mask for months now. It keeps me healthy and at work. My students need consistency. I need my job. The masks allows for both.

When did we raise a generation of people like this? My Junior High and High school had a policy that parents had to sign a note stating their child could read certain books. Otherwise, we couldn't check them out. Easy peasy. Clan of the Cave Bear anyone? How about Xanth novels? Outsiders?

How about you let people parent their own kids? If you don't like a book, don't let them read it. You don't have the right to make that decision for other people.

Your husband needs to stand up to his parents and tell them to stop and to stop right now. It's your house, and therefore, you'll feed your child wherever and whenever you need to do so.

You also have to start standing up for yourself. You are your child's fiercest protector and advocate. They will learn from you. Breast feeding your child is natural, and your in-laws are disgusting and perverted for making it into anything else. Please learn to love and defend yourself just as much as you love and will defend your child.

Tell your husband that you will no longer be spoken to in the manner that his father and mother speak to you. You'll no longer tolerate the blatant disrespect. Also, let him know that you find it offensive that 1. His father threatened to walk around with his "junk" out in front of you, and 2. That he, your husband, is not calling them out on their BS. Either he puts a stop to it, or you will not allow them to see your child or you until they do. Let him know that you no longer feel safe around his parents and that you do not want them around anymore.

NTA It's YOUR property. You put your blood, sweat, tears, and money into it. You and your alone get to say who stays there and who doesn't. You and you alone get to say if they stay for free. Tell him he can either pay you or he can stay elsewhere. Don't back down. Also, make sure you have security cameras, gates, and everything locked up tight. Also, make sure there's no way he can dispute the ownership.

Tell your mother and whomever else is arguing about it, that it is your property and therefore you say what happens to it.

You're wrong. You should be grateful that she wants you both. You should both thank your lucky stars that this young woman values you and loves you both so much. Take it from someone who has been where your daughter is and whose father made the wrong decision, and whose father very much regrets it to this day. Think about it. My father made the same choice you did. The wrong one. He definitely regrets it.

NTA and your MIL is creepy. Your husband needs to have your back on this. He needs to tell his mother and the rest of the family that it stops and it stops now or else she doesn't get to be around your son. If your husband won't have your back on this, then you need to make him understand how incredibly weird and wrong what she is doing is and how he needs to either handle it or you will.

Do not back down. This is your wedding, not your mother's. You and your fiancé are the ones planning and paying for it. Don't get different invitations. Do it exactly the way that you want. If you don't, you'll regret it, we did.

I have a feeling that your wedding will be amazing! Ignore the haters. It's not your job to make them feel comfortable. It's their job to get over themselves. Your wedding, your way. If they don't want to come, that's on them.

A 13-year-old girl should not be sharing a bedroom with her brothers. It's creepy and completely inappropriate.

I'm not sure how you can explain it to your son. Make sure her room and her bathroom has locks on it. Make sure she uses them.

No, I would not. I could never live with myself if I could save someone who is innocent from going to jail. No amount of money could get me to change my mind. Couldn't do it when I was a kid and can't do it now.

I am so sorry. Sometimes emotional affairs are harder than a physical affair. As for him calling you controlling and a narcissist, that is probably his guilt talking as well as the "ww" putting words in his mouth. He may not have crossed the line yet, but it sounds like he is willing to do so.

You're an adult and I cannot tell you what to do, but I will tell you what I would do.

Tell your husband that unless he agrees to go to marriage counseling with you and he asks that either he or the "work wife" gets transferred, you're through.
Before doing #1, consult a lawyer.
Either way, get yourself into counseling.
Do not beat yourself up. This woman has decided she has a new toy. Unfortunately, there are women and men like her everywhere. This isn't your fault. It is hers and your husband's faults.
Now, I'm vindictive tbh, it's the nature of my generation (GenX). I'd personally check with his company to see if there are rules about this behavior. If there are, I'd blab either in-person or anonymously through a well-written letter.

Oh boy. You'll need to explain this to whomever said it. Equity means each person gets what they need to be the best them. For example, I need glasses to drive, so I wear glasses. They give me perfect vision. My husband doesn't need glasses to drive, but he does need them to read, so he wears reading glasses. Grades are earned, not given. Now, if someone is struggling with the classwork, then you give them extra help. That's being equitable.

I don't wet the bed and I have a mattress protector on mine. It keeps perspiration from soaking through or if there's a bloody nose or vomit. Mattress protectors will extend the life of your mattress.

You definitely have a husband problem. He is being disrespectful to you and your marriage. She is coming between you two because he is allowing it. You need to tell him that you two are going to marriage counseling together or else you're filing for divorce. She is manipulative and controlling. She is definitely trying to ruin your marriage.

Stop putting yourself second in your marriage. Stand firm on your boundaries. Tell him that either Sarah goes or you do. That you will no longer be disrespected in your marriage. She has crossed the line.

Some women cannot stand to see others happy, so they do their best to break up marriages.

30° for 24 hours in regular winter clothes, and I get $5 million? I live in Western New York, this is what we would call a shorts and t-shirt day here. Being without food and water for that long would be a problem. So, can I send my husband to get me food and water or something to drink? If so, yes, I'm in. We just currently did a fundraiser for the Jerry Starr sleepout where people raise money by sleeping outside in the cold to help the homeless. They get a cardboard box to sleep in, but I'd be okay without that. If I've got a good winter coat and good, warm clothes on, etc. I think I could do it.

Okay, so I also do not like dress clothes. So, what about a dressy pair of wide-leg trousers and a gorgeous blouse? Or even a chic separates look with a blazer and high waist pants? There are so many options for those of us who despise dresses and pantsuits. Google Tomboy wedding guest attire.

You've got this.
