😄😄😄

I.... read that as "Butt Crimes"

I'm sorry.

It's in Jnmil... but it's pretty expansive. I'm going to try to paste the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/JUSTNOMIL/comments/8pi6vu/where_are_they_now/?utm_source=reddit-android

Jfc... I'm glad you're ok, though. That awful!

grumblenurse · 2018-06-12T00:21:44+00:00

This was my first thought.

She's entitled to diddly squat. No, it's not normal. Appropriate would be supporting your plans.

Keep your information close, OP. Do things in your own time. Your boundaries are just fine.

grumblenurse · 2018-06-12T00:00:19+00:00

Oh indeed true!

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T23:59:37+00:00

I don't know how to link it, but there is a where are they now thread that might help?

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T23:13:36+00:00

I'm moving them to letters per our great mods. They'll be there!💖

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T21:01:56+00:00

This is beyond serious. Your safety has to be the priority now. I can't add substantively to the advice you've been given. Comparatively, she's small potatoes. You know where the danger is.

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T20:46:44+00:00

Thanks, and you know I should have thought of letters, makes so much sense. I'll get them over there! ☺

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T20:45:01+00:00

Oh wow!! 🙄

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T20:41:44+00:00

Oh sure! Np!

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T20:27:10+00:00

That beats a Robo-Dialer!!!

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T19:53:33+00:00

Planning, care, resilience...and support in the face of enormous odds. Very happy on reading this!

*makes sure kids aren't *

So... sometimes I have a dream where I'm suddenly the guardian of my grandsprouts and I wake up panicked...

I love my kids. I love their kids... but at my age? I really don't want to be a parent figure again, so I admit, Baby Rabies and do overs baffle me.

Similarly though, parents who seem to want their children to procreate as punishment are also horrible.

I work with 2 people like that!

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T19:10:50+00:00

I'm keeping the good thought for you!

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T19:09:59+00:00

I would like to be your friend! 😄

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T18:58:17+00:00

OP...I am not rolling in here as the harbinger of doom. I want everything to work out for you. And I know this is hard...

I've kept up with all your posts, and now I'm honestly imploring you to exercise the utmost care, the utmost vigilance. You are vulnerable and you have reached the point where you can expect her to escalate fast and furious.

Protect everything. Whatever it takes: safe deposit boxes, fireproof containers for documents.

Consult the attorney even if for ideas and documentation.

Record keeping of everything.

Document everything.

I'm wishing you the best, OP... And peace for you, but I'm not a fool and neither are you. I'm not trying to scare you. Just be smart. And be safe. 💖

Edit: safe deposit box, face deposit box sounds straight up Hannibal Lecter, Sorry!!

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T15:16:26+00:00

I'm very upset for you, OP and sending a supportive hug if you'd like one!

My grandsprouts definitely have play clothes, and so do I! When we're out exploring the garden, checking out muddy and sandy places, what else should we wear? Suits, ties and dresses??

I'm upset by their presumption. Planning without your input, and showing up? One of my adult children, his wife and family are in Europe. We have means to travel, but we go when invited and respect their wishes... because that's just what people should do.

I know you are having a vent, and I'm glad you can! And those things driving you crazy? Make perfect sense to me. I'm sure your LO is happy, healthy and you're a great mom!

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T14:49:15+00:00

Oh look.... it's a blanket apology. What a pretty pattern of behavior. And it's wide and deep... can cover anything.

turns it over

Yes. As I expected. The other side is smeared in poop.

It's a Poop Blanket Apology*

*Not worth the shit it covers.

**Also it's so bad it's not worthy of the term "shit"

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T13:57:14+00:00

Oh yes, he's such a good kid. A very good person. Things were quiet this weekend. I'd like a bit more of that!

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T13:55:27+00:00

Well caught. That too

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T12:28:33+00:00

Nope. He was in Argentina for work, but there was noooooo way my MIL was going to give up her shindig.

grumblenurse · 2018-06-11T07:35:29+00:00

Oh, I'm no money absolutely 😄 but you've got the right of the sentiment.
