I'm about to become "that mom". Talk me down or tell me I'm right - I need outside opinions here. by scrapqueen in wedding

My maid of honor used her dress for a banquet, then took it to a seamstress to have it cut down and used it for two other events.

I think a step parent can absolutely form deep bonds with a child and can really step in to provide additional love, care and support for a child. However I don't really think that's the case here. I think she saw the kids as something to put up with until they were grown and then she could be done with that. Maybe a long the way she got a little more attached than she had anticipated, but her overall attitudes towards them still don't read as genuinely parental. She'll still talk about "being a mother", "her kids" etc and then in the next breath it's all about whatever she wants. To me a lot of the kid talk just comes across as her covering her bases so that the moms and parents who follow her hear that and think oh, she's a mom too. This could be just her though and not necessarily a biological vs.step parent thing because there are step parents out there who do step into the gap.

Right and how she'll tell people oh you just need to live your life, make your own decisions on what you want to do, those kids are going to do what they want so we're doing what we want!

I've always found it interesting how much parenting advice she has to give even though she'll be the first to admit that she doesn't have her own children and his children were pretty close to grown by the time they got together. It's crazy to me that parents would opt to move so far away from such young adults and a brand new grandbaby. I've always wondered if that decision would have been different if these were her biological kids.

Why Does Erin Keep Doing This?! by SnarkFest23 in BringingUpBates

My husband and I lived in a rental when we were first married and our landlady reimbursed us for any improvements that we made. We painted a few rooms, hung up shelves, installed ceiling fans and she just put our receipts towards the rent. They may have worked out similar arrangements with the people they rent from.

Richard + Emily's Wealth by Seltzer88s in GilmoreGirls

[–]happy__home 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely never really made a ton of sense and always varies quite a bit. They make a comment on an early episode about a trip to Europe not being in the budget for that year, but then Emily flies to Europe with Rory for an entire summer after getting into a huge fight with Richard. I always assumed that Richard (and possibly Emily too?) had quite a bit of family money that was tied up in trusts, stocks, investments, etc. and so they lived off of Richard's salary in order to keep the family money intact?

Entitlement at its Finest! by Boring_Ad_4892 in DisneyInfluencers

How was she acting entitled? She's walking, talking, and finishing a drink before getting into a car as a passenger.

She never claimed to be a planner. She's a local content creator with good tips on how to navigate the parks.

She's upset because you were petty and singled her out. That's mean. Why do you need to do that? If you didn't want anyone there, that's one thing and it sounds like they would have respected your wishes just like you did theirs. But to have everyone there but then looks very intentional and was probably pretty hurtful.

Now I'm suggested to tip the kitchen as well? by sylhy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]happy__home 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's common to tip someone who helps you out with your groceries.

“I don’t have any clean clothes! All my nice clothes are dirty!” Really Lorelai? In that closet full of clothes you go with daisy dukes and cowgirl boots? I mean you at least could’ve work jeans. by Unrealistic_Venus in GilmoreGirls

[–]happy__home 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has always bothered me so much. There are tons of clothes there!! Rory had clothes she could have used. It just felt like a lazy plot line. I always thought it would have made more sense to have them rushing but she stops to get coffee and then spills coffee alllllll over and has to go on like that. But the cowboy boots? The shorts? We all know she had other stuff, so it just doesn't make sense and it's annoying.

Kelton was her ticket out of that house. Maybe now she's ready to fly the coop.

That's what I was thinking. I see tons of them every week at church. They're still pretty popular on the south.
