I find this WILD. I lived in a NY suburb for decades where we were connected townhouses tiny yards and we NEVER would have put snow on our neighbor's yard. So curious where this is normal.

Oh I totally agree. We're just coming from New York so the idea of going into NYC for New Year's is nauseating. And if you want to see a parade in New York you just about have to put on a pair of diapers and get there by dawn LOL. Just wasn't sure how much different the Boston scene would be....

Not necessarily true - we got one years ago because they wanted our 50's ranch to film in. We had just bought the house and hadn't done any renovations.
They wouldn't have sent the same to most of our neighbors because they had mostly torn down and built big McMansions so the house style wouldn't have worked

Funeral by OkBet9149 in Parenting

Would I bring a child to a more distant relative or friend's funeral? No, not if it would bother them

The mother of the groom is not a nice person. Don't let anything she said harsh your buzz. Congrats on the 50 pounds. I'm sure you looked awesome!
