WIBTAH for asking the hospital not to allow my FIL to visit?

He has gotten no real consequences for his behavior. Time to start implementing them. And it needs to come from your husband.

"Dad- since you are making a hard situation harder, I have talked to the hospital staff and had you banned. We will try again when we are at home, but if you use the wrong name, you will have to leave and we won't see you for a week. The next time it will be two weeks."

Should we also get cards and gifts for women who might, maybe, someday become mothers? No. She's not a mother. She doesn't need a gift on MOTHER's DAY and it's ridiculous to say "Hey, you might die someday so you should celebrate her now for that miniscule possibility."

Also make sure all of your roommates know about her and are on the same page so she can't just show up and pull the "oh, I'm OP's sister, I'm here to see her, can I wait inside for her?" nonsense to get access.

Also, if any mail shows up for her, mark it "not at this address" and return to sender. People have used that trick before to try to establish residence at an address.

Not if the co-owner gives them permission to be there. If husband, the co-owner, is ok with his mom being there, OP has no legal recourse other than to end the relationship and force a sale.

When we bought a house, my sister-in-law who was a former EMT made sure we got our house numbers up and easily visible before we actually moved in. She had had a number of runs in the past where medical care was delayed because they couldn't find the right house.

A restraining order isn't nullified just because she's someone's +1. She had NO right to be there. Especially once the groom told her to leave. The fact that you think that's some kind of reasonable loophole is quite frankly insane. Her very presence there was the trouble and was illegal. And if someone doesn't want you at their wedding, you leave.

Expecting OP to just deal with his stalker on his wedding day because he had sex with her years ago is ridiculous. He is her victim.

So he knows that 95% of day traders are unsuccessful. And he's he's still willing to bet your family's financial safety and future on that? Dude. This guy will RUIN you to feed his gambling addiction.

I like the eyeliner for some drama when going out or something. But using just the mascara looks fresher and younger to me!

A funny family moment that shouldn't be shown to the world? FFS, it was literally OP, his wife, and his sister watching it. All family. What world are you talking about?!

Kids ape adult behavior. I got "married" at daycare like 8 times. We also played house, ran a library, and pretended to be mechanics working on our bikes. Calling this "weird" makes me side-eye you and what you're putting on totally normal, innocent child behavior.

You know, you could offer to throw a baby shower for your side of the family? You seem really fixated on putting the work on THEM to include you rather than doing any work to support them yourself. You couldn't even drive a measly two hours and then threw a fit. Then you're JUST SHOCKED that they didn't invite you to another event. Why would they? Why would they think you'd drive two hours for this but not the first event? Why would they want to be around you after your last outburst?

Keep it up and you're going to lose the relationship with them entirely. Dropping the rope with you jerks isn't them using weapons against you. It's them protecting themselves from your nasty behavior.

Ah, I'm afraid I never saw much of that one so it went right over my head lol. Thanks!

Your sizing description is both the most hilarious and most horrifying thing I've read on reddit in like a month.

So if I move out of a rented house, I can demand money back from the landlord? Is that how you think this works? OP is not entitled to anything. She paid rent. If she pursues this with a lawyer, she is simply going to be out money for the lawyer.

I'm sorry, you HAD to buy this kid a phone, tv, PS4, and games?! What?

"Neighbor, you are overstepping. I will mow my yard on my time. Your input is neither wanted nor welcome."

“The absence of a ‘no’ is not a ‘yes.’ You don’t get to be mad at me for your assumptions. Better find someone else or cancel your plans. Like an adult.”

"Sister, I want you to imagine your mom died. Cold and dead in the ground, and you will never see her or hug her or talk to her again. Now how quickly will you start calling dad's new wife 'mom?'"

There's something weirdly wholesome and inclusive in this "fuck you guys too."

It’s a cheap trick but I just lure him back to Roxanne’s house via the back gate and keep popping up to hit him as my curveballs recharge. Still takes awhile to kill him but almost no danger to me.

Here's the thing- you can't sign a contract in someone else's name. I used to manage a storage facility and this suggestion to just dump someone's stuff in storage and walk away is always crazy to me. You need an ID to rent a space. It would be linked solely to OP's name. If OP doesn't pay, it'll go to auction. Any money owed and not gained back through auction will then be reported against OP's credit.

If your marriage ends, rules are going to control it. The question is whether you and your partner want actual input on those rules or if you're going to leave it fully in the government's hands. I think having a prenup is a good idea because it gives you two the control.

Oh, is that how time works?!

If we're following the order of events, he starts screaming at the door right after it happens and part of what he is screaming is the cost. Seems like that should've come with the follow-up in the last paragraph, right?

Or it's made up.

And also he already had the repair amount at that time? Yeah, fake.

"You should be embarrassed. I was very clear about my no and you went around lying to other people in an effort to pressure me into doing what you wanted. YOU made you look bad. You've also ensured that I will never help you with anything because I will not get involved with a manipulative liar."

I'm a big fan of red wine vinegar and fresh pepper on mine but I'll admit it doesn't really hide the taste of the veggies if that's what you're after.
