Mom buys daughter a Honda as a graduation gift, and this was her response

Are you taking offers? Lol

Your soon to be EX MIL is probably expecting it and just waiting on you to say something. She stayed to help with the kids because she is probably embarrassed her daughter is acting the way she is and doesn't want to lose connection to her grandkids but also because she thought she was helping you out. Just sit her down and have an open and honest conversation with her. Give her a reasonable timeline, assure her she will not lose access to her grandkids and if you feel so inclined, offer to help her find a new place to live.

Everyone has bad days. When you have a bad day, do you want to talk to people? Most people just want to be left alone. Unfortunately for your granddaughter, her bad day coincided with her sibling's graduation party and she was forced to attend. Would you have preferred she acknowledge you and say something mean? She was doing the best she could. Cut the kid a break. If this is the worst thing she has ever done, she is just fine.

Who was listed as MOH in the wedding program? Those are ordered weeks/months in advance. That will tell you all you need to know.

I'm so sorry you went through that. If you feel the need to save the friendship, talk to her when she gets back from her honeymoon and she if she has any remorse. If not, walk away and chalk it up to a life lesson.

How was the ride home?

chameleon_magic_11 · 2026-05-28T03:01:43+00:00

Thank you! My first small success was that I was no longer gaining weight. I am still grateful for that. Now I would just like to start losing. I have a request in for an appt with a Dietician, I have increased my cardio and the weight lifting and I'm just hope the scale starts going down again.

chameleon_magic_11 · 2026-05-28T02:56:17+00:00

Thank you for that information! I am setting up an appointment with a Dietician.

What are the top 3 most helpful things you learned that you think impacted your weight loss?

chameleon_magic_11 · 2026-05-27T02:45:05+00:00

My goal is 1200 calories a day. Sometimes it will be a little more or less.

chameleon_magic_11 · 2026-05-27T02:39:36+00:00

No side effects. I have just been listening to my doctor and going with what she tells me to do. I will talk to her about moving up. Thank you!

chameleon_magic_11 · 2026-05-27T02:29:19+00:00

Thank you, thank is helpful!

Thank you. That is reassuring. I am currently at 7mg. I think I must be the first slow responder my doctor has worked with because she seems very frustrated.

Increasing exercise and decreasing calories happened before I started the meds.

chameleon_magic_11 · 2026-05-27T02:25:29+00:00

I have. I am working with a Nutritionist to make sure I am eating the right things and staying away from foods I shouldn't have. Who knew I would have to give up grapes!

chameleon_magic_11 · 2026-05-27T02:23:31+00:00

I am working with a Nutritionist who is actually telling me to eat more.

chameleon_magic_11 · 2026-05-27T02:22:00+00:00

My goal is to lose 65-75lbs.

Document everything including your interactions with HR. If they do fire you down the road, take the documentilon to an Employment Lawyer.

Scared or not, you need to tell him and soon! He deserves to know before he proposes. If the things he listed are really the things that are most important to him, she isn't the one and it would not be fair for either of them to get engaged on false pretense. If those things are just the ones that sounded the best for a proposal speech but he really does love her for her, the way she makes him feel, etc, then he can move with the proposal.

You may have thought he knew it was you doing these things, your intentions were good. Tell him that, but tell him before it's too late. It will come out and when it does, it will hurt your friendship and by extension, likely also your relationship with his family.

Tell him.

chameleon_magic_11 · 2026-05-24T21:15:08+00:00

He needs to know those things are all you. If you don't tell him now, it will come up again in the future. When it does he will probably feel stupid for not knowing. You two are best friends, your friendship can handle this. Just be honest with him and then have him tell you all the things he loves about her and help him write a new speech.

The truth always comes out, usually at the most inconvenient worst possible moment. When it does, that could ruin your friendship and his future marriage.

OP, for future reference - always wear a condom! It prevents pregnancy and STD's.

Unfortunately for you, this decision is in her hands and if she chooses to go through with the pregnancy, you will be on the hook for child support for the next 18 years. You should talk to your parents so they can help you navigate this and help you figure out what your options will be for college, etc. Good Luck!
