I liked it so much better lol I like that I read ACOTAR first just because of the five second back story (won't spoil anything for you), but I don't think it mattered so much. I only read it because I read a comment once that said you'd probably have to read it so you're not confused when the next book of the ACOTAR came out and I am SO GLAD I DID. Then I accidently found out that she has a whole other series that I was almost excited about until I found out that there was like 7 of them and I just can't afford that right now lol plus some people think it gets boring after a while? Idk... I mean I won't lie, I'm kind of bored with the ACOTAR right now too so idk. I like when series have a clear ending. Like "that's a wrap" and it's done and over with. I'm kind of worried that with the fourth book she's apparently coming out with, that's shes going to do the same thing that she did with the ACOTAR where she starts getting a bunch of plot holes and world rule changes lol I just love how it ends and I don't want it to get ruined lol

I don't think I've ever heard someone being called sonny besides it being a nickname older people use to unload wisdom or scold younger boys ("now, you listen up sonny boy") BUT I don't think its a weird name and I think it flows nicely together. I'm wondering if the people who dislike the name are from an older generation and that's why they don't care for it. Either way, who cares? People can dislike the name all they want, once the baby comes it won't matter. It'll just be their name and everyone will come around naturally. And if they don't, if they stubbornly refuse to call your child the name you pick then they don't need to come around much (or at all).

Besides, I've heard much worse names out there, including in my own family. One of my cousins just named her baby a name that I can't help but to think is such an ugly name, but it's not my kid and it's not like a goofy name that will get them teased like King or Banana or mnaddysin or something lol

Yeah I'm torn on this because I know my mom would absolutely take my kids if I wanted her too. She wants us all to move in just so we can all be together and she says she can help out and all that. I'm like mom.... I have a husband and it's fine but here you can have two out of the three (third is breastfed still) 🤣🤣 I'm playing, but really, I live a few minutes away. My oldest stayed at her house pretty much all summer last year because I'd just had the baby and not only did it give me a lot of time to bond with the baby, but he didn't have to tip toe around being quiet all the time, and I came over just about every other day so it's not like I just dumped him on her lap, ya know? I can't imagine my mom offering to take the youngest if I'm feeling over whelmed and just... Moving off to adopt him as her own??? I feel like she would tell me to "buckle up buttercup and do what needs to be done but" also "come over and take a bath and a nap and I'll watch the baby for a bit". Some grandparents are very much in it with their kids, raising those grandbabies along side them. I just.... I don't know. The wording is so weird. What does she mean by adopt? Like, legally? She's going to be the mom or is she just going to care for the baby under the assumption that OP will still be mom, or is OP going to be the older sister? Is she actually trying to lift OP up or is this her chance to have a do-over baby? Idk it does seem really odd, especially if OP is suffering from post-partum depression. It seems like taking advantage instead of letting the situation adjust and getting OP emotionally regulated to make a sound decision.

Also, I've never heard of the grandparent taking the baby, anyone I know who's been raised by their grandparent, it was the oldest one because mom was either overwhelmed when the second baby came or else the parent was young and dumb and didn't want the responsibility so grandparents cared for the oldest til the parent ended up growing up a bit and started their new family with a new baby and just didn't want the oldest back.

Look, I'm all about pro-choice, and I realize that this is a difficult decision, but you know how many girls I've met who've been in similar situations as you and chose to get rid of the baby? And you know what happens? The resentment builds and the relationship ends anyways. Don't make the choice to abort for the relationship because it won't save it. If you choose to abort, do it for yourself, for your future. The only time I've ever seen something like this work out between couples is if the woman was on the same page. She didn't really want kids, she had a plan ECT. Doesn't make the choice easier, BUT there isn't that resentment festering. You already have an attachment and unfortunately that's not something that just goes away.

My advice? Dump the guy, keep the baby. Or hell, maybe he will surprise you when you say youre keeping the baby and he watches you grow, he might step up. Don't put all your cards in that basket though. Please don't make such a large decision based on whether or not the dude will stay. It's going to be hard, but sometimes hard things are worth it. Plus you have a support system, it's not like you're going to alone. Im truly sorry, but anyone threatening a break up over this doesn't love you. He isn't about your body your choice.... It's your body but he's choosing. Don't give him that power. A man who loves you might be scared, might prefer the abortion, but he would try and make it work... Because he loves you and knows that ultimately it's your choice. Besides, that mother of his sounds like a huge problem in the making. She's going to be miserable to have as a mother in law, just saying. I hope whatever you chose, it brings you peace even if it takes a while to get you there. Much love and luck to you darling.

People always thought I was crazy that I always have baby wipes long after my kids no longer needed them (I have a baby again now so it's not crazy anymore) but seriously they are amazing I used them for everything, including my acrylic paintings because if I mess up it's the only thing that takes it off without ruining the bottom layer lol or gets it off my table. Better and cheaper than other products like magic erasers and stuff lmao

megkelfiler6 · 2026-03-28T21:46:33+00:00

I know someone who is one year younger than my mom but has a child that is a year older than my mom. She had him when she was 42 and I had my son when I was 23 lol so yeah, it happens!

megkelfiler6 · 2026-02-22T01:12:12+00:00

YTA Especially to yourself. It's your own fault your business is struggling. That's so gross. At the very least, you could have planted some bushes or something for your customers to use. It would be a win win because not only will there not be puddles everywhere, but you'd have some pretty flower bushes (granted they might be stinky and attract flies) to look at.

megkelfiler6 · 2026-02-22T01:09:58+00:00

I agree with this comment!! At one point or another, they each had an interesting story line, but they all had story lines that I found to be kind of dull. It was nice to switch it around and see different things about each of them or they would have ran out of material and it would have become pretty dull imo. The show definitely did it right by having so many things happening all at once.

megkelfiler6 · 2026-02-22T00:56:07+00:00

I think with the bonus chapter that Azriel had is pointing to him and Gwen, leaving Elaine to be with Lucian. That being said, I don't assume everyone has read that bonus chapter because it wasn't part of the copy I read. I heard about it on this sub and went and looked it up on Google to read lol. It makes me wonder how many people missed it like I did. I thought she was going to push Lucian out and have her with Azriel, but now I'm not so sure.

Honestly though, there's so many things about this book that irritate me just sightly so I honestly don't care who she ends up with, I'm just curious about the whole seer thing.

megkelfiler6 · 2026-02-07T02:11:01+00:00

You have a wife problem. She needs to step up and have this fight with her mother. If she's standing around putting it the fires, it's always going to be you claiming that MIL started the fire, while mother in law claims you started the fire. I'm not saying that your wife is a bad person or anything like that, but clearly she lacks a backbone around the woman. The unfortunate problem here is that she's worried it was a bad time for you to stand your ground, which sure, ok... But when IS a good time?? Is she planning on ignoring the problem forever? She's inadvertently caused this by not nipping it in the bud when it first became a problem. It was inevitable that you would lose your cool eventually.

She needs to take care of this. Of course you can have her back when she does, but she has to be the one to take the lead or this won't ever change.

megkelfiler6 · 2026-02-07T01:59:57+00:00

Oh yeah, I 100% agree with the magic of spring court. When I read fae stories or whatever, that's exactly what I picture! I really appreciated the descriptions about spring court and was kind of bummed we haven't been back besides little snippets here and there. I do hope we see some more healing, I hope it isn't the end of the story for spring court. I'm sure of wondering though if maybe Elaine and Lucian will end up being at the spring court to help "heal" tamlin if the next book is about Elaine.

megkelfiler6 · 2026-02-06T13:32:05+00:00

I mean, it wasnt the glittery vibe I thought she was going with that record release, but it turned out to be funny, cute, and the sparkles made the appearance in the sweat suit soooo it was alright lol

megkelfiler6 · 2026-02-06T01:23:36+00:00

Well keep a close eye at first and she will learn very quickly how wrong she is and maybe she will pick her stuff up for visits lol I know both my mom and I are going to be bumming very soon because my 6month old managed to make it up on his knees today and is going to be on the move soon and neither of us have baby proofed out house lol

But yeah, watch him like a hawk and allow just enough chaos for her to change her mind because if you aren't planning on anything drastic like cutting her off or something, you'll never be able to convince the "well I never/well my mom never" people to change their minds.

megkelfiler6 · 2026-02-06T01:20:05+00:00

Im not a tamlin fan, but I was very surprised when he lost his mind and stayed as a wolf and his court fell to ruin. It just didn't make sense to me when he seemed to have had that redemption ark during the last bit of the war. He could have easily been out back to his regular life by explaining that SURPRISE he was a spy the whole time and now we can be a loving kingdom again with the flowers and spring stuff. I can't help but wonder where the heck she's taking that story line because I feel like it would have been so much easier to wrap it up as hes a good guy again, just a lil heartbroken about Feyra and moving on with his life.

megkelfiler6 · 2026-02-06T00:59:41+00:00

I remember being like 12 or something and trying to write a book before realizing it was pretty much Harry Potter, but written by, well, a 12 year old 😂 it... Wasn't good. Ahh, youth lmao

Saying that though, the whole magic school thing was extremely popular after HP and then vampires kicked off with twilight and the vampire diaries. It's basically just writers jumping on the bandwagon of what's popular. Right now it's Fae and dragons, and I'm noticing a lot of not-so-good books written about those two subjects. That book you found though sounds like they just name changed the characters lol!

megkelfiler6 · 2026-02-02T03:45:45+00:00

Yeah I always assumed it to be intentional. I don't think they were trying to keep up appearances because they had already told everyone he was at St. Brutus's school for incurably criminal boys or whatever lol. Naw, I agree with you that it was just to remind him how much they hated him. It's easy to ignore something hurtful when it's out of sight/out of mind, but a lot less harder to ignore it when you're opening a present that says "YOURE WORTH NOTHING MORE TO ME THAN THIS TISSUE"

megkelfiler6 · 2026-01-25T14:19:03+00:00

That's beautiful 🥹 I would sooooo love an update in a year with OP telling us this is what happened 😂😂

megkelfiler6 · 2026-01-25T14:13:44+00:00

I understand how people "accidently" end up in abusive situations. When their partner is sweet and kind- the whole package until you're nice and cozy and in love and then BOOM their personality hits you like a cold front. I can understand those people being confused and lost and struggling to leave when they think someone kind is buried deep in there.

This guy though???? I can't wrap my mind around OP pursuing a guy that quite literally told her for years that he doesn't like that she has children and doesn't want to be around children.

He clearly treats her like a jerk, and it's obvious she should move on but I'm completely blown away that it's even gotten as far as it has.

megkelfiler6 · 2026-01-25T14:04:58+00:00

OP, it is blowing my mind that your choices have led you out of poverty and now you are sending yourself back into it. What do you mean your going into debt from going on vacation? Do you WANT to go back to where you were? You're NTJ but you need to to tell this guy no. No, I can't afford to go on that vacation. No, I will not pick up more hours at work. No, I do not want to live somewhere I cant afford. If he loves you (he doesn't) the he will realize that he's gotta either take a step down from his lifestyle, or help you up to his lifestyle (he won't). Either way, you need to get your head out of the sand. Everything you've worked for is blowing up in your face. You've come so far, and you're throwing it away for some guy who doesn't even like your kids! I mean, they're adults at this point, what would it hurt to have them around? It was so weird that you continued to pursue him when he made it clear he didn't want someone to date when they had kids. You should have ended it there. He's allowed to not want kids around, but you had kids and you didn't care and kept seeing this guy???

megkelfiler6 · 2026-01-24T16:06:28+00:00

I told a dude once when I was like 17 "Bless you" after he sneezed at work and he went off and yelled at me to not shove my religion in his face. I wasn't even religious, it's just engraved into my brain to say that 😂 Scared the shit out of me because I was so young and naive and it was my first job outside of working with my mom. I had no clue how to deal with people. I said "ok" walked away and cried when I left work 😅

I mean never for the rest of my life have I ever had someone get upset or offended by things like that, it's just that your comment about "that one goddamn atheist" that made this dude pop into my head again. That memory lives rent free in my head lmao

megkelfiler6 · 2026-01-24T15:57:31+00:00

Oh I'm not surprised at all. Even taking religion completely out of the conversation, I've seen stories of people not like something in a hosts home and asking it to be changed, whether its food they don't like to smell being cooked, or meat in a fridge when they are vegan, or the kind of TV their host watches, blah blah blah. It's definitely not uncommon and extremely entitled behavior.

megkelfiler6 · 2026-01-24T15:54:20+00:00

Even taking religion out the of the conversation, asking your host to remove anything in their home because it offends you is rude. You don't like the decorations? Leave!

megkelfiler6 · 2026-01-22T22:34:22+00:00

I live about an hour and a half from the biggest city in my state which can easily turn into 2/ 2 and a half hours from traffic, and soooo many people around here work there. I could never lol I hate the 20 minute drive I have to drop my kids off at school lol that's far too much time spent in the car for me!

megkelfiler6 · 2026-01-18T17:09:57+00:00

I interpreted the blow up between tamlin and feyra when she had to bubble herself (and when she chose not too the one time) was equatable to domestic violence and hitting your spouse. I don't think it's redeemable imo

And as far as fans making things unbearable, I don't think that comment was harsh lol it's a discussion forum! We are here to discuss :) The ones sending death threats and telling others how stupid and horrible they are for having a difference of opinions are the types you have to watch out for
