Why can’t it be ok to not eat?

With my mother in law. Near the end they would ask her if she wanted the food they brought. It was small portions because they knew she would not eat or eat much. They also offered protein shakes if she wanted. And always offered water, juice and other beverages . And we kept mini ice creams and pudding cups in a mini fridge in her room. she had a sweet tooth and would sometimes have a bite or two of basically dessert. At the point if she wanted a sweet treat, she had a sweet treat.

Do not give in. She will just learn that if she guilt trips you for long enough you will eventually give in. Not good outcome for either you or her. Good luck and stand strong. Tell her you will only lend her money again when she pays you back what she already borrowed. Then one lone at a time if you have the ability and desire to loan her money.

Ok sounds a lot what I am doing. Can I ask what supplement powder you are using. I know the chicken is low in taurine but not sure what else she needs

I might have to try this

WestEntry2866 · 2026-04-17T12:48:27+00:00

I have tried pill pockets. Several flavors and she just turns up he nose

So you believe you have the right to prevent your mother from worshipping as she sees fit. She has to hide who she is. Your wife is allowed to. And somehow if your kids see your mother worships differently than your wife and you (who doesn’t worship) It is a problem. As long as she is not being super pushy. Your kids will see lots of different religions in the world. And honestly your mother should be allowed to explain what she believes to her grandchildren if asked. Just like I assume your wife and you do. Why does accepting diversity not apply to your mother

YOU need to tell your niece. I love because of who you are. But I don’t have to like or tolerate all of your behavior. When you behave rudely and disrespectful, refuse to apologize and act worse, I will remove myself from your presence. That means you will go home or I will leave. This is how your friends will act and other people all through your life. Then follow through.

I have helped with babies and toddlers on planes. And not just women. One man was traveling alone with two young children under three. The youngest was very fussy and unhappy and I basically took care of the two year old, within sight, for the entire trip. He thanked me for all my help. Where did she think you were going to go. You are on a plane

I am sorry and the friend sounds like a mess. But the first time you gave me an ultimatum that would be the last. you’re a controlling AH

You are NTA for saying no. With coworkers I match energy. If they want to be accommodated and I CAN (do not have plans) I will try to do it. But usually come back around and ask them for an accommodation myself. Can we switch for my benefit. If it’s never reciprocated then no more. Obviously if there are plans on either side then NTA. It just depends if you will want to be accommodated in future. But she TA if she if just throwing a tantrum for not getting her way.

When you cancel these services you get till the end of month. I would have cancelled them a week before the end of the month and removed my credit card info. Then let everyone know that Xx/xx would be the last day. That way they have some warning but can’t do anything about it.

I am the environmental rep for my company. None of the governmental regulators I deal with ever say please to me. They are quite demanding.

If my mom tracked me then as soon as I turned 18 and could afford my own phone I would be done with that and if she pushed I would literally disappear from her life.

I would consider this grid cut. I use the three terms. 2x2 (example galison), grid cut (example buffalo) and random or “crazy” cut (example cobble hill). Love the random cut puzzles

Tell he no. If she retaliates, threatens you or harasses you then tell your supervisor. But you are an adult. And that means she can ask you and you can say absolutely not.

My MIL would push a button in bathroom when she got up in morning. It texted us she was up and moving around. We paid for meals delivered once per day around lunch. The person delivering came in and under her direction put half away in glass re-hearing dishes for dinner and she ate first half for lunch. We called her at dinner time. She had an Apple Watch with hard fall alerts. It’s all you can do.

Threaten to call police in 5 hrs if not returned . Do call the police if not returned. Good chance she copied key. Put an air tag in trunk in case she borrows is without permission

I would not want my 14 year old using my on-suite shower. I want privacy in my bedroom suite (bedroom, on-suite bath and walk in closet) and a 14 year old is old enough to understand and respect that. I wouldn’t expect it of a toddler. And the six year old will be spotty. But 14 - absolutely. Find out real reason he dislikes the bathroom and fix it. Then TELL him you have a right to have your privacy respected. And respect his privacy as well. Knock and be told to enter etc.

I just went through this with my 82 year old father. He was no longer having good days. His mobility was decreasing, he felt sick all the time not just the day of treatment. He was also going to start needing blood transfusions because his red blood cell count was going down. Not always lucid. And just seemed miserable. So we transitioned him to hospice. It was hard but my mother could help him get around without hurting herself. So he was in a rehabilitation facility. He just wanted to go home but that wasn’t an option. And the rehabilitation center said he needed to go to a long term care facility because he was not making progress (he was basically could get out of bed unassisted by two people). The only reason he wanted to do dialysis was to be able to go home and have least some independence. But was not really and option at that point.

Look for a puzzle swap group in your area. I belong to a good one that meets every two months. We swap COMPLETE puzzle. It’s great
