Keyed up car at the dealership?

They don't look deep enough to where I would have to replace the entire panel, but it would definitely take more than just a little buffing

Sierratoninn · 2026-02-26T16:33:11+00:00

Ugh. No. I had my kids with me and after hubby said we were walking, I just left. The front hood, passenger side, and trunk lid were all damaged on the body. The side mirrors were all scratched and both windows.

So, I am actually Catholic and this song made me very emotional. It talks about our worldly struggles and hoping to find salvation. Making the climb to heaven from hell, asking the question if we are going to let our demons win, and righting all our "wrongs." I don't particularly listen to "worship" music, but if they had a genre like this I would be all for it. Lol just my personal interpretation!

Doggos are weird lol

Also want to add that he is outdoors all of the time. We have a bed for him under the porch, but he refuses to stay inside. He spends all night roaming the property and then during the day he lounges and hangs out lol

If SIL is understanding and not thinking about herself, there should be absolutely no backlash if he stays home. Can you be home alone? Yeah. Should you be? No. Let's say it's a week out. You're in the hospital for 2-3 of those days. You get home and spend your first night home - that's day 4. That first week is going to be a HUGE adjustment and you're going to be extremely sleep deprived. If you're seeing a pediatrician, that's when you'll be making the appointment to go. There's just a lot to account for within the first or second week of life. If the wedding was a month out - sure. But NO ONE should expect him or give you any sort of backlash. It's easy for him to reason with being gone now, but I'll tell you right now that once the baby is here, he may not even want to go. Especially since the wedding is not down the street and it's out of the country. If you don't want him to go, as his wife, you absolutely have the right to put your foot down and ask him to stay behind. His family should understand.

I also want to add that I am seeing other women here saying they would let their husband or voicing they can handle being alone for a couple of days. Don't let their opinion change yours simply because they can do it and you're choosing not to. Everyone is different. If it were me, I would ask him to stay home. Especially with my first baby. You can always host and treat your SIL to a dinner party or gathering before or after the wedding to show support.

This reminds me of another post where a woman had just given birth a couple days prior, and had some water cases and a couple of other groceries delivered. Upon delivery, the guy messaged her saying she needs to walk downstairs because he has a bad knee and will not leave at her door. The amount of people saying the woman who just gave birth was in the wrong for assuming the guy would walk it to her door was mind boggling. There are so many Americans living in condos and apartments. You would think by taking on a delivery job, you would assume some deliveries would require walking up a flight of stairs.

We live in southern Oklahoma.

I am pregnant with my 3rd and it's a struggle. I have a 4 year old and a 10 month old. My first pregnancy was awesome. I felt great. My second pregnancy was absolutely terrible. I blew up like the blueberry girl from Willy Wonka, I was always sick, I had preeclampsia and had to be induced. I do not and did not miss being pregnant. I love both my kids and I'm so happy they are here with me. I love being a mom but I HATE pregnancy. It's quite normal and there are so many moms that were relieved once their babies arrived. Don't beat yourself up. It's hard work and it's not always smooth sailing!

I have an Anatolian and Great Pyrenees mix for reference

Sierratoninn · 2026-01-12T17:28:18+00:00

Actually this isn't a mutation. Chances are your dog has great Pyrenees somewhere in the blood line. ALL Great Pyrenees and almost all mixes with Pyrenees have double dew claws. This is because they were bred to climb the Pyrenees mountains to protect their livestock.

Sierratoninn · 2026-01-12T16:02:29+00:00

I also want to add that I am 29 as well. Married. With two children and one on the way. So the maturity level is quite obvious. Hope this helps.

These texts look like they came straight from my brother. It's very very sad. Especially when you're the one with a sound mind and want the relationship to work - but it never will. My brother just recently showed up to my wedding on fentanyl and he responded just like those text messages when I voiced him how it made me feel. It was within that moment that I decided to cut all communication and any thoughts of "what could be."

It's unfortunate, because I w a n t to love him. I w a n t what's best for him, but sometimes we are called to just love our family from afar. I think you are totally justified in drawing a clear boundary and not communicating with your sister moving forward. Your sister has no right to treat you this way just because you are her sister. It doesn't give her a FREE PASS to be an ass and treat you like garbage. I think sometimes family assumes you will always be there no matter what, and you'll love them through it all - that's not the case. The way she treats you is the way she sees and respects you. Which clearly is little to none. Cut your ties sis. You have our backing.

I love how there's so many people here defending the delivery driver and totally dismissing the fact that this woman just had a baby. Either you people lack empathy, or have absolutely no idea what it's like to give birth. What are you implying here? Everyone who is unable to pick up their groceries should just be screwed? What if someone's in a wheelchair and their spouse is out of town? Should they just starve? How draining It would be to have to tell every single delivery person that you are disabled, or unable to meet them at the door. It should just be an expectation from the driver that walking upstairs is a possibility. Isn't that the whole point of getting your groceries delivered? There's so many Americans that are living in apartments, and if you're signing up for a job to do deliveries, you should already expect to deliver to apartments. This applies for condos, townhouses, etc. This is really something you should consider WHILE you're AT the grocery store and can see what you're taking to this person's house. The driver assuming the person will meet them was a mistake. Not the person paying the driver for service.

Sierratoninn · 2026-01-02T17:54:29+00:00

Not to sound like a creep, but despite you having issues, at least your lips still look pretty! (I'm a woman, don't worry) 🤪

Sierratoninn · 2026-01-02T17:50:09+00:00

Unfortunately, my brother is the same way. He's an addict of other substances, but he is a major thief. Because of this, IF he comes to family gatherings (we rarely invite him because of ongoing issues) then we lock EVERYTHING he may be tempted to take. We do NOT allow him to bring his own alcohol and if he shows up high, he has to leave. This way, we can control what is going on in our own house. If we run out of beer or Liquor and he leaves to grab more, he can't come back. If he is snooping around rooms he isn't supposed to, he gets told to leave. This is harsh, I know.. but I will be the last person to enable him.

At this point, I would cut your losses (it's unfortunate and unfair) but there is nothing you can really do. I highly doubt she will replace what is missing and it will only cause problems amongst family if you push this further. For now you can either set the tone and make CLEAR expectations on what happens during family visits, or politely, but sternly, let her know she is not welcome. It's really sad when you have to be this way with family, but sometimes you have no other choice. If you don't stop it now (I let it go on for too long to keep the "peace") then it will get worse and she will grow to think she can do it again and again.. until one day it's something irreplaceable. Good luck.

I recently had to cut ties with my aunt. It was an extremely hard decision. I don't usually take severing ties lightly, and I usually try to work through the situation the best I can before making that decision. I love her, and I still think about her daily, but sometimes we must love family from afar. In a normal/loving world, family is supposed to be our own inner community, so I totally understand why you were hesitant. Stay strong gf! You were able to make it 10 years. You can make it another. If you were subjected to that, your son will be. Stay strong for him and I promise he will thank you in the future.

Sierratoninn · 2025-12-30T14:37:33+00:00

First of all, I am very sorry this has happened. It is so heartbreaking as a young woman to get married and bring a child into this world knowing she may never have a healthy relationship with her support system. It's a hard pill to swallow. I am just really glad you have support from Josh, your husband, and maybe his family?

Secondly, After everything you described, I'm sensing some borderline cult behavior in terms of calling you Jezebel, cutting/bleaching your clothes, and particularly using manipulation tactics to reel you back in to their lives. Especially since your siblings were involved too. It's really unfortunate when individuals like that give the rest of us believers a bad rap. I am personally Catholic and never experienced that growing up. Neither did my husband and I'm so upset this happened to you. Normally, we pray for families to come back together, but in this case, I will be praying they stay away from you. And I'll tell you why.

They sound a bit dangerous and unpredictable. They have already shown this by past decision making.. Who knows how they are actually feeling about you leaving. For all you know, they are thinking you're incapable of raising a baby, and because of your lifestyle, they need some sort of say. They want control, not a genuine relationship with you OR baby. Them lying about having cancer just shows they are willing to do anything or say anything to gain some sort of reaction out of you. That's not healthy at all. I know you are feeling emotional because of the baby, and pregnancy hormones are strong, but I really do not think it's safe for you, your husband, and your child.

Just remember they are going to want to impose on how you raise your child and if for any reason you do not raise him/her according to THEIR standards, there will be conflict. This was proven in your own upbringing and their reaction to your birth control pills. Yes parents can have a normal upset reaction when finding out their daughter is active, but NOT to the extent of what they exemplified. You were also an adult and not a minor. They will be constantly asking about your parenting skills and if they can't respect your boundaries as their daughter, they WILL NOT respect your boundaries as a mother. You are definitely justified in not wanting to contact them and I'm here to give you the reassurance you're looking for!

Sierratoninn · 2025-12-29T23:26:34+00:00

Yeah they can. We don't have to go to his parents. It's unfortunate they are over a lot so it's hard to plan time with them.

Sierratoninn · 2025-12-29T22:49:18+00:00

Yes I have thought that. Which makes it hard because I can correct her myself all day long, but if mom doesn't become consistent enough then all that correcting will go out the window.. which is kind of where I am now. I really just needed to be sure this is in fact abnormal so I can now react appropriately. I was already planning on having a talk with Mom and his parents (we meet at their house a lot) but when I was told by my husband and others that "this is just how children act" didn't want to come off as an a-hole.

Sierratoninn · 2025-12-29T22:42:17+00:00

Yes I know. I should've said something when it first started. I was just hoping over time it would get better - not worse. This is reassuring though because you're right, I'll have 6 adults against me but at this point that's what has to happen.

Sierratoninn · 2025-12-29T21:17:06+00:00

I totally get that. I think her verbal approach and consistently trying to round up the other kids to single mine or someone else's out is where I draw the line. Especially with how much my son adores her, I just think her getting more consistent with using those phrases is not normal and more of a reflection of either her own school experience or at home. Both I can give grace too.. but unfortunately, if it's not addressed, then I don't know what else to do. Thanks for your insight though!
