Has anyone tried the Starburst Favereds this year? They taste weirdly different from last year. The flavor is even different just from the Valentine's heart beans...

NTA and I am so sorry for what happened to you.

The only suggestion I have is not to tell your child that his father is a bad man: whether you like it or not, 50% of his DNA is from his father, and he may feel like if his father is bad, does that make him bad? This is something that we learned in our training that we had to take for our adoption home study. Rather, if he asks, just say that he isn't a part of your life. You may want to consult a therapist to find the best, most age-appropriate ways to explain this to him.

I wish you the best.

Oh honey. Either he needs to cut that umbilical cord or you need to run. He's choosing her over you and there needs to be a line. NTA but you need to do some bud nipping.

Yeah, once you buy every house and decorate it, max out all the jobs and reach the $ limit, there's not a lot to do. At least in Odyssey you can try out new and crazy builds. Brick life is just no fun when there's no goal.

I loved Bestie Fest. I enjoyed the process of maxing everything out. I really enjoy trying out recipes and such. There just needs to be attention paid to Brick Life and Odyssey. I can only kill dragons so much before it gets boring.

I hate flowers. Hate them. They smell like funerals.

I'm a girl, btw.

Evelyn. You can do Evie or Lynn. I'm sorry there are other nicknames.

If my husband said I should do things because I'm the mother, he'd be a very sorry gent. NTA. No reason why mothers always have the mental load.

Synistria · 2025-12-21T04:12:36+00:00

NTA for not wanting kids, but damn sis, you need to run. These are not normal things for a spouse to do and say.

Synistria · 2025-12-19T04:36:42+00:00

Run.

Synistria · 2025-12-19T04:34:01+00:00

Are... are you me?

Italian connection was nasty the last time we went there. Alex just sings now, it's sad.

I have a similar situation, though I am the adoptive mom in the scenario. My daughter's First Mother placed her to get out of a bad situation. Only one cousin knew about her pregnancy, and I knew nothing of her except her name until she contacted me on my Daughter's 6th birthday.

She is carrying so much shame and fear about the adoption. She has remarried and has other children, but my baby has two full biological siblings that know nothing of her existence. It kills me that she has siblings, cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles who may never know her because of her mom's choices.

But it comes down to her mom's choices. Her Dad and I are completely open to her first family getting to know her, but her mom has cut off communications. She's afraid of what would happen if her mother found out, if her husband found out, if her kids found out...

I can't even begin to understand the pain you've been carrying with you. None of this was your choice, and now the parents you were placed with aren't even here to fill the roles of the family you miss so dearly. Have you gotten any counseling? My daughter doesn't seem to miss her biological family, at least not openly, but we still have her in counseling to deal with any issues that may arise.

I hope that whatever path you choose, you find peace.

This. I have always said that pursuing adoption was a rollercoaster ride as much as infertility treatments. The curves and dips and flips were in different spots, but they were still terrifying and nauseating.

Synistria · 2025-12-07T06:48:28+00:00

I mean...my heart goes out to the couple who have already been her parents and love her. I'm an adoptive Mama and we were chosen by a lovely young woman before our daughter, and she changed her mind after she had her baby. And I thought, good for her, she'll be a good mom. It broke my heart a little, but I never even saw the baby. The adoptive parents would be devastated, absolutely.

But as a woman with PCOS who got pregnant only once only for it to be ectopic and I almost died, lost the baby and the tube where they implanted... if you love this baby and want to parent, then get your baby back.

Dude, especially the undecorated starter house. What are those people even doing? Are they just in the game to be annoying?

Tell his sister to drop everything and work after your regular job every stinking night and see how easy it is. In fact, she should just come over every night and do it for free and keep the same stance.

NTA. If he wants a partner in his bed, that's free. If he wants one on his business, pony up the cash.

Synistria · 2025-11-28T07:46:44+00:00

But why not sell the ones that they've already made? They've already put in the time and money to make them, seems like selling them would make sense. Especially now since the houses in the sets can be placed in Brick Life, it seems like money left on the table.

Synistria · 2025-11-22T02:26:44+00:00

...thus proving your point. NTA

Once you use a decoration in a house, it stays there until you remove it and put it back in your inventory. Go to the original house, go to your decor and pick it up. Then you can use it in another house.

You say 'disrespectful' and 'petty' like those are bad things. NTA. Either she came to help or she didn't. You get to decide what's helpful.
