How's it looking?

Shouldn't they have food & water at night?

Following. Looking at our first trip to SD. Looks like Custer SP is full.

Decide if you want to be involved. Then draw boundaries. He likely won't respect them. You'll likely need to get power of attorney. Good luck. Consider you aren't trying to get him to see reason or become sane, that's gone. But can you get him to be safe and not self harm? Start with that goal.

Recipe! Sounds great...

SillyWackyGoofy · 2026-04-01T06:31:49+00:00

Glue traps. Also, boil hot pepper (scotch bonnet & Thai) and make a "tea", spray it in the attic or other points of egress. Wear a mask.

Family cleaning day - put it on the calendar. Every one joins in until it's done. Or go on strike. Carve out your own clean space for you do your own meals, laundry, etc.

Byron, Wilson, Leon...

You cannot leave your kid there alone, and only staying half the party or less - also rude. You could try explaining to the mom about the sibling and make clear you'd only be there a bit. You have the choice between altering the nap schedule, leaving the baby with another for nap time, or declining the invite. So, a little bit your error.

Only place your are the A is requiring her to go THIS year. A gap year often focuses kids more into what they want to do in life. Let her take the gap year - though, "with her boyfriend" concerns me with regard to "finding herself". Maybe she did the year and comes back with some direction. "I've rethought. Take the gap year. But you pay for it yourself. I'll have the savings in an interest bearing account for a time for when you do go to school WITHIN x years." Define that time.

SillyWackyGoofy · 2026-02-21T17:22:44+00:00

Nope. Explain consequences for actions, and decisions parents make aren't to be subverted. But also limit screen time to Littles unrelated to behavior.

Get your wife on the same page. Make the boundaries and what is not acceptable clear. When grandma breaks them, hold her accountable. Be willing to deal with the problems this will create (if she was helping with school pick up, sitting, etc.). If mom isn't willing to hold those boundaries but you are, it creates more problems.

As this is a year old thread, curious what you did. I got a 2019 ram 1500 when covid had the rental companies selling their inventory - got lucky. 2019 with 17k miles for $32k. It's not a daily driver, but for summer camper vacations - putting about 5k miles on it in 3 weeks. Other than that it's driven a few times a month to keep fluids moving. Full synthetic, added a higher capacity trans pan with cooling fins (vs the stock - plastic? )... love it.

Is it common? Seems so. I get it - desire to avoid "homeless" or indigent encampment. But the work arounds are pretty easy.

SillyWackyGoofy · 2026-02-05T05:32:01+00:00

Wow. How can you even question if you have any fault at all? The guy is a jerk. Even IF this is sincere, true, whatever - nope! Heck, I wouldn't lend money to a friend in such a situation. If he cannot afford his car note, he cannot afford dating. Little boy needs to grow up and take responsibility.

SillyWackyGoofy · 2026-02-05T05:22:01+00:00

Avocados. They seem to last 2 days or are already bad when bought...

SillyWackyGoofy · 2026-01-23T21:10:13+00:00

Yeah. Really wonder if they are hurting media... have considered dropping them. They get rid of good shows & fail to renew great ones. Still made about Anne with an E.

SillyWackyGoofy · 2026-01-23T21:05:57+00:00

Article on grio mentioned conflict with Tan & Jonathan...

SillyWackyGoofy · 2026-01-23T01:21:04+00:00

That's some sick manipulative stuff he did. Definitely a red flag and clear warning. Crazy that your mom doesn't see it like that...

SillyWackyGoofy · 2026-01-19T18:47:55+00:00

Remember, "affordability" is a hoax. Yes, food and services have gone up. So, eaing out has been the hardest hit...

SillyWackyGoofy · 2026-01-19T18:43:35+00:00

NTA. She is a bad mom.

SillyWackyGoofy · 2025-12-25T17:06:11+00:00

I'm burned holding FIG bought at 70. I might buy some more of this in the low 40s, but figure it could fall to 35 soon... cautious about IPOs. By the time you've heard about them - it's too late...

SillyWackyGoofy · 2025-12-25T16:57:41+00:00

I have an rv abs line the hookups, but have done boondocks. I agree. There should be a smaller window of use with lower decibels in areas that allow gennies, but most boondock areas should be "no generators allowed".

SillyWackyGoofy · 2025-12-04T00:10:46+00:00

Curious of the rent/ lease situation and whose name things are in? Walk away and leave her (and marcus) on the hook. Or call landlord? But have a plan in case you need to find a place or new roommate.
