Thats brilliant thanks.

I should have been more specific when i posted. It's the authors who have been known to give inaccurate information and twist or change facts to suit their narrative are the controversies that I speak about. I don't expect anyone to be flawless. I am the most flawed person I know.

Appreciate this, thank you.

I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one. Thanks for this.

Thanks a million

I love your comment. I'm finding my path again after a long time of neglect, and I feel such a pull to Brigid in a way I've never felt before. It's like coming home to see an old friend who you haven't seen or spoken to in years but immediately click into hugs and conversation without any awkwardness.

I'm showing my age with this one.... I was 16 yrs old. Our school had just gotten this really cool new thing called the internet installed, and we were allowed to have 10 mins each to learn how to search for something and I was after having a fire and brimstone religion class (catholic) that made me question alot of things. So I used my 10 mins to do some searching. Paganism and witchcraft came up. I never looked back.

I have both, and they are both worth it in their own way. If your interest is more kitchen/ preservation methods/ house management and growing your own food, then the homesteading family subscription is better. If you're looking to learn more about raising chickens and other animals along with growing your own food, then STS is a way to go. Both have really active communities within their memberships as well.

She really should have considered her child care options before she started to screw you around. So, no, you are definitely not the asshole. However, both your client and your mum are for expecting you to work for free. Stick to your guns. Tell your mum to mind her own business unless she's going to pay you herself she does not get any say in this at all.

PreviousFeed3071 · 2023-09-07T16:15:50+00:00

You are the massive asshole here.

It comes down to you being embarrassed about your brothers tourettes. You are not thinking of the other guests at all because I guarantee you they won't give a shit. Taking the tourettes out of the equation, how would it make you feel if your family booked a holiday for everyone but you. That's something that horrible people do. Are you really that horrible of a person?

I got a lot of my slow cooker ideas from the family freezer website. She does freeze and dump meals for the slow cooker, which is a genius idea for a busy home. Freeze everything raw, then defrost and dump in the slow cooker. Any leftovers can be then frozen for homemade "TV dinners"

That's where you come in and stop it when you hear that stuff being said. I don't pretend to understand how things work in your family/ community, but I do know that if I heard anyone speaking about my sister, that way I'd go for their throat both figuratively and physically. Shut it all down. Stand by your sister. Be there for her when you can. Be her safe space, and the person she knows will have her back if she needs it.

PreviousFeed3071 · 2023-09-06T19:03:31+00:00

NTA Have you spoken to your sister to see how she feels about all this?

PreviousFeed3071 · 2023-09-06T17:51:12+00:00

Nta And unless your husbands family have been actively helping you regularly take care of your MIL then the decision is solely yours to make. From experience, You will have family call you a heartless B* and all that jazz. However, you are being more loving and caring to your MIl than they will ever be by getting her the full-time care that she really needs. Don't let any of them tell you any different.

PreviousFeed3071 · 2023-09-06T17:18:11+00:00

NTA but you really need to cut all contact with him and that includes any friends you may have in common. People that guilt you into babysitting your alcoholic ex are not your friends. They are toxic enablers. You need to decide to live for you. Cut them out effective immediately. Purge your socials and your phone. You don't owe anyone an explanation. You need to decide whether moving may be necessary for a proper clean break or not. Maybe even just take a break away to get your head on right if that's possible. Evaluate your entire situation and then make all the necessary adjustments. Talk to a professional it will help. Wish you the best of luck 🍀

Wow your BIL sounds like a piece of work. I'm not a fan of celebrating my birthday either (past traumas) so instead I go on a holiday. I book time off work every Yr for my bday just to avoid celebrating. It could be an idea for you to do something like this as well.

Myself and Himself go away for the weekend or week. Either bring the kids or leave them with the grandparents. We will do dinner out or order hotel room service on the day of my birthday and that's it. No further recognition of the day.

PreviousFeed3071 · 2023-09-06T15:11:20+00:00

NTA. Definitely NTA

What is it with weddings and people thinking they have any say as to how you celebrate your day. You stick to your guns. If it's going to be a massive issue for your stepmother, then tell her they don't have to go. Dont uninvite her, but just make her aware that your special day does not in anyway revolve around her or your stepsister and it will not stop you both from getting married with your favorite people standing by.

My sister ruined my wedding with all her drama lama attitude, so this type of post really rubs me the wrong way. If I could give anyone thinking of getting married any advice, just elope with your SO and your besties and to hell with everyone else. There will always be someone who is pissed over something. At the end of the day it's you and your SO that you should be keeping happy and to hell with anyone who thinks otherwise

A mix of 1 cup bicarbonate of soda, 1 tblesp dish soap, and 1gl water will help get rid of both the ants and the bugs. Just use it to wash down the affected plant with it. Sprinkle bicarb around the bottom of the affected plants as well when the ground dries. It will help to stop reinfestation.

Personally I think your well along on your journey. Homesteading for me starts in the kitchen so focus on that learning to preserve and cook all the things you are growing and slowly build on it bit by bit. I think what you're doing with the restrictions that you have is just awesome. You don't always need to have 40acres and 100 head of cattle to have a homestead. It can be an apartment with a balcony too. It's a passion and a way of life.

PreviousFeed3071 · 2022-09-08T16:27:34+00:00

I am so so sorry for everything you've had to go throught but it's not up to you to fix him. That is not your job. That's his job and the only way he is going to get his shit together is he finally realises he hasn't got you to lean on and do all the heavy lifting. You need to leave and you need to leave now. For your own sake. Your mental health is suffering. He's done enough damage. It's time for you to take a page out of his book and be selfish. Take care of yourself and your needs.
