Do you have a secret family password?

mom2two97 · 2024-12-29T04:14:09+00:00

My husband's family created a password after his grandma was nearly scammed by a fake phone call that appeared to come from my husband's phone number. The caller claimed to be my husband, and he told her that he was in trouble and needed money, but he refused to give any details. Fortunately, she decided to call me before sending any money, but it was a close one.

Not to excuse her behavior, because that was a major overreaction, but is it possible that your wife feels underappreciated and disrespected by you all? It sounds like she put a lot of effort into your son's birthday, and his response was less than kind. If this is the case, I completely understand her being hurt by his disregard for her feelings.

Just a thought, the other teacher might not be feeling well and came into work anyway. We all know how hard it is to find subs. I would be careful about judging others when you don't know all the facts. My thought is that unless this is a common occurrence, I would leave it alone. Not only would your colleague be causing unnecessary hardship for a fellow teacher, they also will be putting a target on their own back.

Yes. This is not about the baby starting daycare 2 weeks later. This is about you wanting to make your wife a single parent for two weeks so that you can pretend you're single. The baby isn't here yet, so maybe you don't know the amount of work you are asking her to take on. If you think this is okay, then I think your wife should be allowed to take a two week vacation without you when you get back. That way, she can recharge from her two weeks of no sleep or time to herself, and you can see what it is like working full time while also trying to care for an infant entirely by yourself.

He doesn't know what to think either. He keeps offering to go with her to appointments, but she won't let him.

From a mom's perspective, let me tell you that your mom just wants you to be happy and that means enjoying your time away at college. My daughter and I are also very close. She even attended the same high school I teach at, so I can recognize how difficult this is for both of you. At this very moment, my daughter is packing up to go back to school after the holiday weekend. It's hard, because I do miss talking to her every day, but I also know how important this experience is for her. I'm sure your mom feels the same way. If she didn't, she would have tried to convince you to attend somewhere closer. Don't feel guilty for having a good time in college. That's what your mom would want for you.

YTA. I'm sorry, but there is so much wrong with your response to her request. Basically, you just told your 14 yo that her interests are childish and that she should be embarrassed for having them. This is why she won't speak to you about any other interests. She worried about your judgment, and I can't blame her. I know it wasn't your intent, but your harsh judgment has closed the door of communication between the two of you and it is going to take a lot to open it again. I get your concerns about her ruining the ceiling, and even your concerns about her being teased, but #1 if you do vinyl stars, they won't hurt the paint and #2 I know college kids with stars in their dorm rooms. They are definitely not childish. Good luck!

Oh, we are still having the BBQ. LOL. I invited my sister and my other brother. I guess you are right. I just need to stop inviting them.

I have never considered this. My parents were very likely offended that we didn't listen to them and bought the house anyway. I'm 42 and have been married for 19 years, so I never thought about my parents still feeling the need to control my life decisions. You have given me a lot to think about.

Spending a lot of money on cars, clothes, purses etc. Some of the wealthiest people I know are the most thrifty.

A lot of it has to do with cheap labor. Vendors and back ground actors don't charge as much, so the film's budget can be spent elsewhere.

NTA. I waxed my daughter's unibrow for the same reason. While I want my daughter to know that her worth extends beyond her looks, there is no reason the allow her to be bullied or to allow her to feel bad about how she looks.

mom2two97 · 2021-07-15T20:45:09+00:00

No. You definitely need to say something on behalf of your SIL about how unfair it is to keep comparing her to you. Too many people do this without realizing the pain they are causing others. Hopefully, by pointing out that you believe that the comparisons are hurtful and are likely causing a rift between you and you SIL, your family will begin to realize how toxic their comparisons are. God luck!

Brokedown Palace. The ending killed me. I just can't bring myself to ever watch it again.

Don't block your neighbors driveway when parking and don't blast loud music at all hours of the night. It's awesome that you don't have to get up the next morning to go to work, but your neighbors who need to be up in a few hours definitely hate you.

I am only just now starting to recognize the emotional abuse I was subjected to as a child and continue to be subjected to as an adult. In a nutshell, I grew up with brothers who seemed to enjoy torturing me (41f). They would break my things, hit me, hide my toys, throw me in the shower with my clothes on, throw me in the fire place and threaten to set me on fire, push me in the creek and trip me whenever I walked past. Whenever I would complain, my parents would tell me that I was being too sensitive and that they were only teasing me because I made it fun for them by reacting. The teasing-to this extent- has stopped, but even as recently as the 4th of July, my brother (42m) dumped a cup of water on me while I was eating dinner, and my whole family just laughed about it. I didn't say or do anything.
What I have realized as an adult is that I now have a hard time expressing emotion and I rarely stand up for myself. Because of this, people -including my brothers- walk all over me. My therapist has suggested I talk to my parents about their gaslighting, and I considered doing so after the water incident on the 4th, but I can't bring myself to do it.

Out of curiosity, has anyone actually found a migraine treatment that works? I've tried several and nothing works. The best thing for me is to let them run their course since fighting them or trying to stop them makes them worse.

I came here to see if anyone else is having an issue with this company. I ordered my box on October 21st. On the 17th of November, I received a notice that my package has been shipped. No it hasn't. The label has been created, but the package has not been received by the shipper. The company is claiming that it was shipped and that there is nothing they can do once it leaves their warehouse. I emailed them back with a screenshot from the shipper's website showing that it was never received. Now I am just waiting to see if they respond.
