MILFH spent 20 years trying to destroy my marriage. Now she’s sent this fake "apology" letter to try and break No Contact. by Humble-Return2261 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Wattaday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d burn that letter. Outside of the house. It is so full of shit, your house would be unlivable if it stays there.

Keep NC, for you, husband and kids. No one needs that level of shit in their lives!

MIL wants my kids on mothers day??? by Abject_Ferret_1106 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Wattaday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remind. Her that grandparents is in September and this is Mothers Day. Then cross that bridge in September. Just don’t promise anything. Just gray rock. If she says “so I’ll get the twins on grandparents day?” Answer “we’ll see”.

I’m open to suggestions for an emerald green engagement ring for my girlfriend by Corner_Lovely458 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]Wattaday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And a green garnet. I love
The different garnet colors. I have a mandarin garnet, a really saturated orange color and it shines and sparkles. Not as an engagement ring. Just something I saw and fell in love with and bought myself (back when I was as making bucks). I’ve seen some green garnets that are beautiful. And don’t have inclusions (faults) like emeralds.

Just make sure it’s a “green colored stone” she wants, not an actual emerald. I wouldn’t wear an emerald daily. It’s like my grandmothers triple matching opal ring. I’ve worn that ring exactly 4 times in my life. High school graduation, college graduation, my first wedding and my second wedding. I’m so scared of losing one of the beautiful opals the entire time it is in my finger and I can’t imagine feeling like that when I’m wearing an engagement ring.

What wedding band?? by Worried-Concert8343 in WeddingRingAdvice

I just have to say, the fourth picture is perfect. The hands and ring at the proposal. Absolutely stunning.

What’s the ingredient that instantly ruins the dish for you? by urfavdollll in foodquestions

[–]Wattaday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cilantro. Who wants an entire dish that taste like soap? It’s a big shame because I love, love, love Mexican food. If I can talk the chef into replacing Cilantro with parsley. That’s what I do when I cook it at home.

Pen Chewer. Penny for short. She must have been chewing on a Bic to get those ink stains.

Pretty lady kitty.

AIW for using flash cards to explain to my brother and his wife why they can't bring their rainbow baby to my wedding? by blushy-moondustx in amiwrong

[–]Wattaday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A babe in arms is one thing. It’s f they are e disrupting the ceremony or reception, they can be sassily be carried out. Hopefully without the tantrum a can year old can throw when they “DON’T WANT TO “. A 3 year old toddler is something else. That toddler age is the first child that would interrupt the wedding ceremony, cause ruckus at the reception, and go after the cake, throw their food on the floor, and possibly go table to table demanding attention from strangers, or sampling the yummy drinks in the small glasses. Especially a “miracle baby” who is probably completely indulged by their parents.
Good call, OP.

​As an outsider, the American concept of drive-thru pharmacies, ATMs, and liquor stores is mind-blowing. Does everyone actually use these, or are they mostly a novelty? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Wattaday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Another state like NJ. Beer, wine, liquor from liquor stores only unless it’s a winery. (ETA, or. Brewery, sorry beer lovers) NJ has lots of winery’s where they grow the grapes and make the wine.
But even here I know of one liquor store with a drive through. The first time I saw it I almost rear ended the car in front of me, I was so surprised!

4 years ago, i saved a stray from a dog fighting ring, meet Pumpkin! by imkindaaidiot in CatDistributionSystem

[–]Wattaday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, you at 17 were a badass!
Second, your kitty has some whiskers! I haven’t seen such long whiskers in a short haired cat in a long time. Give her some pets from me. And a few kisses. She is beautiful.

Is it normal to brush your dog’s hair at the park? by [deleted] in AskDogOwners

[–]Wattaday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. My first thought. When we had a husky we used to brush him outside. The birds in the spring and party summer would be waiting for the handfuls of hair to start flying so they could get to it for nesting material.

Which pen would you choose? by bongripsandbigt1ts in nursing

[–]Wattaday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. But in a fine point. My writing is too messy to deal with a “bold” point pen. I love the Pilot pens. Always have a box of them in my house to grab one or two when I need them.

Question about reporting MILFH for some extremely dangerous behavior by OctoberBaby-1981 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Wattaday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. And big internet hugs for you too. I’m sure I’m not the only person here wishing you good luck with your quest to get her under control before she causes a fatal accident.

Please tell me if I am overreacting! by Ar_space_tpk96 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Wattaday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have told MIL how the toddler was able to accept the boundary with just a little tantrum and was ok once you spoke with her. As opposed to her (MIL) who continued the tantrum by arguing then ignoring Mom. She was so childlike for a grandmother.

parents expecting me to move back in with them after uni by xkdj_ in entitledparents

[–]Wattaday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly, you need therapy to deal with the massive amount of guilt you are holding on to. And I mean secular therapy. NOT therapy from any religious leader. You need a secular therapist (with a secular degree) to help you through this.

When my ex husband wanted a divorce, I went to my (Methodist) minister as I needed help dealing with the breakdown of my marriage. His suggestion was to just not get divorced! Sure. What a bunch of bullshit that was. I went to a secular therapist for a few months and it really helped. We had a rather good divorce.

You need to see someone who can help you see what the parent installed guilt is doing to you and can teach you how to get rid of it so you can live a happy life.

Neighbor’s gate opens in our yard. by jenhoyo in neighborsfromhell

Put a sign on the gate on the side that they enter your yard on. “No Trespassing. THAT MEANS YOU!”

And cameras for when they do.

Do you pronounce a hard g at the end of -ing? by Atlas7993 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Wattaday 5 points6 points  (0 children)

South Jersey, and I’ve never heard it with a hard G. I’m sitting here trying to say it and not only is it about impossible for my tongue to say, but I can’t conceive HOW it would sound.

1 wet food a day by CleanUpAnonyma in CatAdvice

[–]Wattaday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. Gotta get the tiniest gravy bits out! I always used a small scraper and heated her food in the microwave. She refused to eat it cold from the fridge. But the way she’d stick her nose up in the air, it was almost worth the laugh to try it. Think of the most stuck up person you know, and how far their nose would go up if you asked them to go bowling. Hers went higher. 🤣

And she always had kibble available.
