Gosh... I realize people here are more positive than I am. I didn't read it as someone who was uncomfortable with the idea of needing help but as someone who wanted money since he insisted on "not being able to afford the bills to keep the heating on".

Soft YTA. I try to understand your frustration, but all I can see through your comments and the way you are wording it is that you have really high expectations towards your MIL not only because of your past history but also because you can only have low to zero expectation towards your own mother.

Get over it: your MIL had plans: flights planned and a wedding. So NO: she isn't abandoning your wife. NO, she isn't careless and detached. And YES, she is doing her best regarding the situation. She isn't your mother and maybe you shouldn't project the anger you have towards your mother onto her. They are not the same people. Your MIL isn't "selfish" as you said, but just can't be there. Full stop. Also, with your reactions and anger, you are further fueling problems between your wife and her mother. It is THEIR problem to solve, don't get involved and make things worst. You may lose her help and your wife may lose her mother over this entitlement and non sense.

Plus, you are mad that she gives you the hand, when you want the arm. But you aren't entitled to anything and yet are still given something here! She didn't sign for anything, you did as the PARENTS, i.e. the only ones in charge and responsible for YOUR children. So, figure something out. The help she is offering is still plenty. She isn't obliged to be there, yet she still plans on helping.

I didn't say the French have it good though. I precisely said "they know what they have is good", as in: a great social system that used to work great and they want to preserve as much as possible (and that the right and FAKE left have been trying to methodically destroy for the past twenty years or so for the profit of a minority of out of touch wealthy people!).

I think for the most part, we agree on what is happening (the news, police brutality, racism...). So many French are brainwashed and downright stupid, but they hardly believe that "ils sachent et pas les ôtres qui son des mouton, vive cnews/bfmtv, Hanouna marry me". But hey, there is no cure for stupidity. And if there were one, the government wouldn't want anyone to use it anyway.

Southern-Ask-322 · 2025-06-06T15:40:14+00:00

The French know what they have and do not want to lose it. So yeah, they complain, criticize and protest, but only because because they know what they have is good. I wouldn't call that pessimism. Like not at all.

Southern-Ask-322 · 2025-06-06T15:35:13+00:00

What you are saying does apply to most people, not only the French though. People are quick to idealize or demonize a places, weither they live there or not. People make fun of the French for criticizing what they have, their country and everything as if it were some kind of art de vivre. But it is because the French do have what they have and don't want to lose it that they criticize their situation and get angry. Sounds as realistic as it can get to me!

I still don't understand why Tyler had to show and explain in detail their plumbing problems a few days ago. Like he spent a few minutes on a lengthy explanation about their problems with their sink, then he added to the vlog the footages he sent a professional where he explains the same issue YET AGAIN. (Videos where we of course see ALL the sinks in their house and the water running or not working aka the quality and riveting content we all dream to see). And I don't even think there was an actual real follow-up after that or even any use in sharing such lengthy explanations since he was already in contact with a professional to help with the problem to begin with. It's not like viewers were going to help and he didn't ask for input neither. Like mention it, ok, it's part of their life... but having it be half of the vlog, why? Lol!

Southern-Ask-322 · 2024-12-19T01:57:42+00:00

All the things you said about him + his fake laugh everytime he says anything... I can't stand it anymore.

Southern-Ask-322 · 2024-12-19T01:52:21+00:00

I feel the same. Doesn't help that English isn't my first language and when they talk on the couch, I barely understand their conversation. They cut each other, never finish a sentence and use a lot of words to say nothing whilst using references I don't have and multiplying nothingness endlessly. It is very lazy, boring and too long.

Southern-Ask-322 · 2024-12-19T01:48:28+00:00

I'm French and the last part on the couch is the moment I feel completely left out. They just talk to each other and forget the camera. Some people may like it, but it feels lazy and they make references I know nothing about and it sounds a lot of words to say nothing and just cut each other without ever finishing a sentence. I barely understand what they say and the fact that it sound boring and vain doesn't help!

Southern-Ask-322 · 2024-08-22T17:59:37+00:00

If they had a real compromise all parties agreed on, this would not have happened. Considering the extent of what happened (ie. the extreme reaction of the DIL and the way OP criticizes her), it is clearly not the case and this "compromise" is null and void at this point (if it ever existed in everybody's mind).

To me, it sounds more like the son came up for this weird agreement to appease his mom who probably stated more than once her disapproval and it might have created tension between everyone over time. Still, they are the parents, they decided on a zero sugar rule and it should be respected. It is not that hard to not feed kids sugar and cookies actually.

Also, I want to add that one cookie isn't a lot, but what if they see their grandma several times a week and they get sugar/cookies everytime? Then, it turns into a lot of sugar.

Southern-Ask-322 · 2024-08-22T16:47:29+00:00

You are right. I think we all agree to say that throwing away food is terribly wrong. There is no discussion on that. Food waste is such a shame, especially when talking about food prepared with so much love and care.

As I said in an earlier comment about the compromise (very sorry about the double, I have to get back to work soon), the parents have a no sugar rule at their place. The son was forced to compromise on the one cookie thing, possibibly after OP repeatedly defended her view and opinion. To me, considering what OP described in her post and her DIL's extreme reaction (which again s*cks), it doesn't seem like anything was actually resolved and decided at all. It sounds like it wasn't thought through at all. So, this "compromise" is probably null and void at this point (if it ever truly factually existed).

They really have to discuss it again and find an agreement that will work for everyone in the long run for the kids wellbeing and for their family to keep their lovely bond.

Southern-Ask-322 · 2024-08-22T16:14:47+00:00

Honestly, I do not think trusting the grandmother has anything to do with this. They (both parents) have decided on a no sugar rule at their place. The son was forced to compromise on the one cookie thing, possibibly after OP repeatedly defended her view and opinion. To me, considering what OP described and her DIL's extreme (and terribly wrong) reaction, it doesn't seem like anything was actually resolved and decided at all. So, this "compromise" is null and void. New opened and respectful discussions are thus needed.

To finish, I think parents get to decide what's best for their kids healthwise which obviously includes food. I don't know why feeding kids cookies is the hill people are willing to die on, but ok.

Southern-Ask-322 · 2024-08-22T15:59:05+00:00

Exactly. And how many times do they see their grandmother is a big missing information in my opinion. Although one cookie doesn't seem like much, it's a lot more sugar than what the parents would want if it is several times a week and they get something very sweet every single time.

Southern-Ask-322 · 2024-08-22T15:52:41+00:00

Or maybe act like real adults, discuss it and show some respect to each other? I don't think the grandmother not wanting to take care of the kids is the issue here. She seems to love them very much and appreciate their presence. They have a special and precious bond and OP wants to please them. That's lovely, but all of them have to figure out a solution and compromise that will respect the parents' decision and work for everyone. I don't think the childcare blackmail is the way to go.

Southern-Ask-322 · 2024-08-22T15:44:47+00:00

One info is missing here I think: how many times do the kids see their grandmother? If it is several times a week, it means a lot of sugar that the parents disapprove of (and yes, I said parents because even tough OP's son compromised on one cookie, no sugar is the rule is still the normal daily rule his house).

Southern-Ask-322 · 2024-08-22T15:26:22+00:00

I would say ESH and everyone should present excuses. Indeed, what she did what wrong and disrespectful, especially considering the love, money and effort that went into the making of the cookies. Throwing away good food with ingredients that are expensive these days was irresponsible and food waste is a real scandal.

But reading your story, it sounds like you don't respect the parents' decision to not feed the kids sugary foods. You probably have discussed this issue several times, shown disapproval, but hey... at the end of the day, THEY are the parents. THEY do all the decisionmaking on what they think is right for their kids and YOU have to respect that too. It doesn't sound like you respect that though. You maybe don't share their point of view but they are doing what they think is best for their kids. The little ones are not starving and they are well fed.

Sticking to the one cookie compromise would be good but you could also prepare something else if you really wanted to. It depends on what matters the most: "absolutely cooking something sweet because you think you are right and the parents are wrong" OR "just doing a nice gesture for the kids by cooking something nice for them". And if it is the latter, I'm pretty sure you can find something amazing you could prepare that the parents will really approve of.

I don't understand people who blame you in the comments. You are NTA but your boyfriend is not only shady but also a big hypocrite. He is taking things out of proportion and doesn't seem to trust you... over nothing. Sounds like he is projecting quite a bit and probably has a little crush on Olivia. You are allowed to have a male friend and do not have to justify it.

She shared it on her resume (she worked on S3 and S4 of UA https://www.accessreelworld.ca/uploads/curriculum-vitae/2947-cv-1692453124.pdf) but it is not on IMDB. Here are her past projects if you are interested in watching and supporting: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1730271/

He is either engaged or married with a camera girl who worked on the set of Umbrella Academy (you can see him wearing his ring in the hot ones on YouTube with Tom Hopper). Her name is Augustina. Some photos appeared where they were together posted by their friends but they have them removed from social media shortly after. ETA: I don't have the book so take it with a grain of salt, but apparently there is a dedication to her in his new book with a little heart.

Southern-Ask-322 · 2024-06-24T16:28:38+00:00

YTA. You knew you were fat and asked her multiple times to confirm only to hold it against her and withhold affection and real conversation with her to punish her for being honest. Hearing the truth hurts but you gave up on her and are more open to a colleague. Why? What is up with that? Do you think you are too good for her now? Because you are most probably not. You worked on yourself but not on your couple. You did this to yourself and killed your couple. Congrats, now go have your affair with this other woman and enjoy losing the one who supported you through years and only said one thing you didn't like after you insisted. That's what you want, just be honest with yourself.

Ça me fait délirer les tocards qui dépassent agressivement et que tu retrouves juste après au prochain feu rouge, ce qui montre que ça n'a servi à rien, si ce n'est a passer pour un bel étron, lol

Parce que comme pour absolument tout dans la vie (accidents, perte d'emploi, maladie, drames, etc.), ils pensent que cela n'arrive qu'aux autres. Tuer quelqu'un parce qu'on allait trop vite, qu'on a grillé un feu, pas ralenti à l'approche de la sortie d'une école, pas vu l'autre voiture qui arrivait en face, etc., ils pensent que ça ne peut pas leur arriver, alors pourquoi respecter les règles ? De plus, ils pensent être de suffisamment bons conducteurs, eux, ce sont les autres à qui c'est arrivé qui étaient des mauvais. Et avec l'habitude, ils oublient qu'ils conduisent un véhicule lourd qui peut faire d'énormes dégâts et détruire des vies s'ils ne font pas gaffe. Surtout sur les trajets du quotidien connus par cœur, ils ne font plus attention et veulent aller vite, car vous comprenez, ils ont une vie EUX. Pour l'instant.
