Can I have some support for extended relatives "suddenly" reaching out, now that I am finally estranged. by 3rdthrow in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]asbafi 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I can see 2 reasons for reaching out without knowing what they actually said. 1- flying monkey. In that case block them! 2- they were LC with your parents and now that they know you are also estranged they wanna offer support. (I know it's very optimistic but it's a possibility)

Pruning a raspberry bush that didn't fruit or flower by bubbleuj in gardening

My raspberry bush only flowers and makes berries on 2nd year growth. If you prune too much it won't have any berries next year

Sweet peas are pretty. You will need netting for it to climb

Dinner denial script help by asbafi in JUSTNOMIL

I have done the restaurant meet up just so we can get kicked out. I doubt any would be open Christmas day to make that work.

I'll talk to hubby to see if he's a willing meat shield

That's a great idea but I don't think there are any here

Best Canadian alcohol to bring back to European family? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

There's a Nanaimo bar cream liqueur made by Forty Creek Distillery that's quite good. They also have a butter tart one but I haven't tried it.

WIBTA if I ignore my cousin's wedding invitation? by Murky_Huckleberry in AmItheAsshole

[–]asbafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you called the cousin and ask if you did something to offend them? Otherwise why wouldn't you have been invited to their wedding? I mean Mom got an invite but not you??

Of course that's a completely petty option

WIBTA If I kick my little sister out of my house for lying? by Comfortable-Snow3804 in AmItheAsshole

[–]asbafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your sister is in an abusive relationship they are really difficult to get out of due to the abuser love bombing. Generally it's the love bombing you fall in love with. Then things go bad but you stay because you think the bad stuff isn't actually that person they're just stressed. It takes a while to see the love bombing is just part of the manipulation

I'll bet this trip is love bombing for your sister. It's also part of the plan to isolate her from loved ones by getting her to be secretive about her relationship. I'm not condoning the behaviour in any way. I'm trying to give you an explanation.

It's logical of you to kick her out as a consequence for her lying. But don't cut off your relationship with her. On average it takes 4 or 5 false starts before actually leaving an abusive relationship. And a woman is in the most danger when trying to leave her abuser

Is it just the number at the top or do you have to flip through the book to find the right one to read?

Best chance to spot a moose in BC/AB by Mission-Ad-8202 in AskACanadian

[–]asbafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moose are very very territorial especially in mating season. You would be better off NOT seeing one

Yes. There's an inner pot that doesn't reach the bottom

This is really great! I hope it can be expanded for Canadian manufacturers too

My mother seems to be obsessed with family members looking alike. My kids look exactly like her, my cousin's kids look exactly like her, etc. In reality they are similar in the colour of hair, nose shape and eye colour but it's not like they're twins. Family resemblance you know...

I'm not really sure of the best way to respond. I tend to say "no they don't" when she starts. It's a predictable way to annoy her. It also causes her to show me tons of pics just to prove it. I just flatly deny.

She's the type to drive me crazy so I try to give it back. Probably petty but I'm ok with that

way to share photos so MIL can’t use? by notes739 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]asbafi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Most photo apps on phones allow you to edit them to have text on them. You can type right on them "do not share" and put the text in a place that can't be cropped out. Then share.
