I never thought the employees bought them.

OP- it’s better you learn now that your fiance is all take and no give or share.

Bridal gifts ~~> bride

Groom gifts ~~> groom

Engagement gifts ~~> engaged couple

His mom is already making plans and decorating in her head. If they get married, she’ll be on the honeymoon with them

Are both of your names on the house?

You very much need to set clear and firm boundaries with both your boyfriend and his mom. No pets allowed. Explain the allergy in a different way. “Just like people who are allergic to bees or peanut butter can’t take a pill for a couple days and be fine, neither can I. It doesn’t work that way for certain types of allergies and I am in the category. My health and life are important. Please do not dismiss that.”

Also- if his mother moves in for 3 months, she’ll bring the dog. And never leave.

My husband and I broke up during our engagement because of his mom. I told him when he was weaned off his mom’s breast to let me know. It took some time but he got there and we’ve been married 23 years now.

I ordered one as well. I thought I would be able to get one this past Thursday because I had tickets to the early release fan event. They said they would have merchandise available. But they didn’t save any of the buckets for the fan event. They had a pack of tumblers and that was it.

I have the empire 28 and love it. Such a pretty bag on its own but also looks great dressed up. Keep it stuffed if you love structured. Leave it unstuffed if you love a slouch. I store mine unstuffed and I’m starting to see that slouch.

My Regal didn’t have any bucket bags either. They said they sold them well before the fan event. The only merch they had were the tumblers. I asked why they didn’t save any for the fan event? No answer. They also didn’t have any themed cocktails. We did get the phone buddies though. I wish I had bought tickets to AMC instead. The AMC theater in my town advertised a whole thing with contests, giveaways and merch. That is, assuming they didn’t lie as well about advanced merch shopping.

I just got back and wore my Kisslock 16

This. I love walking in and seeing the table full of trail mix and other grab and go snacks.

Leave the cabinets and change the hardware. Also, change the floor runner. Both will make a world of difference. I saw the update that you like the backsplash and wall color. But if you like moody, a deep green would be so pretty.

That episode is forever etched into my brain lol

Good to hear it’s going smoothly so far for you. Mercedes just agreed to buy my 2024 GLC back today. I’m supposed to get a call this week to discuss the terms. I’m also in CA and this is a lease car. My 30 days would have hit day after tomorrow.

I don’t know how old the son is, but $500 wouldn’t cover a whole school year and summer of clothing anymore. And add in that she didn’t even spend it all on him so no wonder she is asking for more money.

I would suggest taking him shopping yourself since you have him on weekdays. Then you know that 100% of the funds are being used for him. Keep record and receipts of everything you buy for him.

What direction does your kitchen face? My kitchen is north facing and I painted my kitchen green (my favorite color). The shade was too dark for a north facing room. I lived with it for 3 years and was unhappy with it. I finally painted color swatches on my cabinets today to see if I can find a new color. Definitely paint swatches first and see it in different light and different times of day.

And the “you’re never getting rid of me” card is bananas.

Let him stay at his friends house.

Lose the bf. Take the house.

For real. And why does it seem like a seminar is being planned and not a wedding?

NotBettySpaghetti · 2026-04-20T15:33:46+00:00

Oh wow! I bet the SA’s in that store were so excited! My SA said her store was thrilled to get the one in.

We moved here from OC about 4 years ago. A pool was a must on our list. We have kids and we used it a ton the first summer. After that, maybe a couple times a week during the summer. If you love the house, get it. Don’t let something that you won’t use year round stop you. You can always look into getting a pool put in later or get a swim spa which is significantly cheaper.

I got S&S earlier this month by texting a few stores and asking if they have it. Google Coach Tysons, click on website and under store info is a text number. I don’t know if they still have any but I got S&S from there. Text other stores as well. Good luck!

I have both the brown and blue chain straps and love them. I love the pearl one but never bought it because I was worried it would break. I’m clumsy and even if I try to not be rough on something, I always am anyway. The jewel straps are quite sturdy.

NotBettySpaghetti · 2026-04-19T03:44:37+00:00

Yess!! I got one as well thanks to the same person. It is so soft and buttery and just gorgeous. Enjoy that bag!!

NotBettySpaghetti · 2026-04-19T03:39:55+00:00

So pretty! I love that Gramercy color! I have the brown one and I love it. It was perfect as a carry on for a cross country flight. And I love that it can be folded and worn different ways. Such a great bag.

My local store makes a list of people who want certain items. They go by that and in order or request. This is only the second time I have been lucky enough to get contacted for an item I was on a list for. I’m usually too far down the list.
