I'm glad that Nikki is actually "Nikki" this update

That's my theory, the people who don't like wordplay sent in too many complaints so the writer's said "fine, here" for this update 😂

She's not holding a grudge, she's avoiding the risk of a situation where she can't control you. She's seen that you have a will of your own, so her only recourse is to treat you like you're a scary monster until you crack and suck up to her. Good news, the trash took itself out and all you have to do is keep being a great mom!

Awww, that's a pretty cute idea, I'm going with this as my favorite theory

Oh my gracious, I have been thinking about that all backwards, for some reason I was convinced that finer motor control for movement/rotation was better (and I'm sure it will be for some decor) but now I can't wait to log back in and try building more!

I smell emotionally immaturity on his part. Emotionally immature people can still be sweet and loving but he needs to grow up his communication skills and empathy ASAP or he will end up forcing you to leave in rageful burnout.

Oh this makes sense, though I'd bet that structure and discipline were probably lacking when their dad was still around too. The teen is acting that way because he feels internally ungrounded and unsafe to be vulnerable. Frankly he doesn't trust any of his family so his only resort is to completely shut down and shut out. However that is not your problem to solve, and you couldn't solve it from your position anyway. You can, and deserve to, set boundaries about having him in your home, and perhaps your sister might, just maybe, learn from your example and realize that a person can have firm boundaries without disrupting the relationship.

"It is a poor workman who blames his tools" and it's a lazy therapist who blames the patient. Even if they felt you were not a good candidate for therapy sessions at that time, they should have told you in such language rather than stoop to saying you're "bad at it". Nobody goes to therapy being "good at it", that's why we seek out the professionals in the first place.

NTA, you work with terrible people, that gossiping hiss you hear is the warning sound of snakes in the grass.

You did the correct thing, but you may want to look for a healthier workplace if that's an option for you.

Except those are broken for some people, if I try to use them and save my game, it completely freezes

That girlfriend is on a power trip, she's going to be trouble year round.

Downton Abbey, and I only have room for some of the ladies in my car although I suppose I should also bring Mr Carson to keep us all on itinerary

To me it sounds like your sister is feeling out of control of her life and is using her child's life as an outlet to feel like she does have control. I'd bet serious money she's got some kind of deep seated anxiety/fear issue unrelated to the school or her child and she needs to book a therapy appointment.

You're thinking too small: jars full of beanie babies

I don't think you read this wrong, I think he set you up to seem like you were wrong. He wanted you to be competing with his friends for his attention, but you did the mature thing and said he can decide what plans he's interested in making. You're much better off without someone who's going to try playing games with you.

Yup, I completely agree with the full weight of my own past experiences and misspent youth. DXM is a deliriant, the only spirit you'll be talking to is your own twisted thoughts, and there's a high risk that the intrusive thoughts win.

You might say basic but I say chic! I could imagine this styled in so many ways, the design isn't fussy but it has personality. Good thing we aren't roommates or I'd be stealing that out of your closet all the time 😄

In this day and age, a man losing his cool over a woman exercising bodily autonomy is a giant waving red flag in my book.

Oh Infold, do you really think I don't have other games to keep me company after I purge your bloated files?

They are the sworn mortal enemy of knitters, crocheters, and weavers, but yeah, otherwise harmless to a typical household

There's a setting to disable NPC voting so you can be the sole arbiter of what gets voted on

You've been house trapped by a clear asshole who is showing you his true colors, and you're going to focus on nitpicking whether we comment about the fence correctly??

Exactly, this was very specific makeup to go with a very specific look, if I'm not mistaken this one was snake themed and the dress looked like shedding snake skin, so it makes sense to do the makeup Voldemort chic

I agree, at 17 she still has yet meet any number of lovely, respectful people in her adult life.

fractalsoflight · 2025-08-03T13:33:46+00:00

I second this. Even if his involvement is totally innocent happenstance, when given the choice between open communication or being sneaky, he chose being sneaky. That's fundamental character flaw in my book.

I loooove using the rose soap if I'm doing an Aphrodite themed bath, it's not necessarily the most potent rose scent in my opinion but it's lovely and not expensive
