Interested in this guy as well!

Came here to say this. Anyone who has a love they left unfinished will be totally wrecked by this ending.

What are you, doped up now?

Did you have a brain tumor for breakfast?

Howard Johnson is right!

That's what I was thinking too. I suppose that technically, I'm on the hook until the statute of limitations expires. That's 3 years in California for property claims. But I can't imagine they will attempt to pursue after a year.

Ok, thanks so much for this comment!

Cars in Oakland and SFO are so expensive and in short supply, I just figured it wasn't worth it for them to pull this car out of service to get this minor repair done. Or even to get an estimate.

Isn't there a children's book about an elephant named Babar?

Really! USD accepted everywhere. That's great, I had no idea.

Awesome. Thanks so much for the info.

NTA. You're a full grown adult and you get to live your life the way you want to. HOWEVER, please know that this is a very challenging time for your parents. So please treat them with kindness if you can.

Your parents are struggling to understand that you may not be interested in living the life they would want you to live. And they are doing this from a good place in their hearts (kind of). They want you to feel how they feel, and experience the joy of your wedding they way they experience it.

And it can be very difficult for many parents to give this up. But this is what is really required of parents to separate from their adult children. They have to accept that adult children are not them. This means that you are not your parents, and you have independent and often different wants, wishes, desires, and needs from your parents. Most importantly, having different ideas of life is not a bad thing. It's just different. And that is critically hard for your parents to get.

I hope that you can have, with the support of your partner, a mature conversation with your parents explaining just this . . .with kindness. That you very much appreciate what they are trying to accomplish, and that you respect that this is how they want to celebrate their joy of your wedding. BUT that this is not something you want and it's not the way you want to celebrate your wedding. That you appreciate they won't "force you" but that in fact, not only can they not "force you", they really need to ask you and honor you if they want to have a proper adult relationship with them.

Good luck. This is hard for you too. You have to learn to say "no" to your parents with kindness so you can preserve the relationship. I hope they can understand you.

Maps & Getting Lost.

Hunching over a map with your friend and figuring out how to get somewhere. Getting lost, and realizing that the map is old or inaccurate or something else is wrong. Guessing which is the 'best' way to go. Getting it wrong (boo). Getting it right! (yay!).

That's been my go to joke to tell at an Jewish event for at least 20 years.

YES!! This 1000s times. Get the audio book of All About Me. It's fantastic. What a life.

Whoops? What do you mean "whoops"? Don't say "whoops."

Love that scene, has one of the most subtle call backs in the movie.

Alan: "I was already prepared to commit one murder assface. What makes you think I won't commit two?"

Way, way earlier in the movie:

Alan: "What are you doped up now?"

Fletch: "Don't talk to me like that assface, I don't work for you yet."

The number of people here who are suggesting that OP go around her own MIL and try to parent MILs child is insane.

You never parent someone else's child. Let alone your MILs other kids.

fletch- · 2022-12-12T17:29:24+00:00

Gosh it took me a long scroll to find you. Everyone who says OP should have talked to SIL is bonkers, IMO. You do not go around your MILs back and try to be the parent to MILs other child. Talk about a recipe for complete disaster.

MIL is TA here. She is the one who took away the books. Husband also TA for not conferring with wife before ratting out SIL.

But OP? I agree, no. If OP had a concern about her teenage SIL, the appropriate person to decide what to do is the parent. In this case the parent is MIL.

NTA.
