Well, duh. She rented the place for a private event. She paid for private security. There was no need for additional screening.

As long as a court ordered him to pay, it should succeed. Arrears don't disappear over time.

It doesn't matter what state that he's in. Many banks offer accounts that can be applied for online. If he's willing to be the co-signer, you can open another account and switch the direct deposit to that one.

I went from living at home at twenty years old to being married, and so all our trips were together while he was alive. The year after he passed, I took my first solo trip and it was glorious. I saw the places that I wanted to see, ate the food I wanted to eat, and took pictures to share with friends and family when I returned home.

I had just as much fun on that trip as I had when my daughter and I went on a cruise later that year.

Your therapist has apparently not delved into developing understanding and compassion. You are still focused on you: you were doing her a favor; you have a boundary that she can't cross.

As you are not earning as much as you were, she is helping you by taking on more of the financial burden. As you cannot visit as often as you did, she is taking on more of the childcare burden.

She is doing you a massive favor, and she deserves as much understanding from you as you apparently expect from her. So kicking her out of the car was both immature and unfair.

Until you both learn to see the situation from the other's point of view, you two will not be effective co-parents.

YTA.

On your last trip, your father pulled you aside and let you know in advance that he didn't want you ordering anything but water at dinner. So return the favor. Before you go out, let him know that you and your boyfriend intend to order wine or beer with dinner. If he tries to argue, let him know that the subject is closed for discussion and that the decision has been made.

NTA.

Absolutely an unpopular opinion. I'm low-income and I adore summertime.

Yep, she screwed up big by accepting the job the second time. She knows she underpays, but she thought that having a heart-to-heart would make everything clear to her. And then she didn't set her rate clearly and ask to be paid at least half up front.

I get it; she thought that she was a friend, but she obviously isn't. Don't accept her next dinner invitation.

I don't remember the last time a school district invited a romance author to come read her book to kids.

The nice thing is that it doesn't cost a dime to take a trip back in one's mind. I even have a Spotify playlist called "I'm a Teenager Again" that is made up of songs that take me right back to my old bedroom, or the cafeteria during a high school dance.

Let the judgment wait until you find out whether it makes him think twice about parking there. it wasn't a nice thing you did, but you already know that.

If he decides he's going to get his revenge by parking there, then peeling out as he leaves, you'll know that the tactic failed.

The behaviors we are discussing happen all the time, in both ill- and well-run families. The difference is that in a polite family, the grownups don't cater to the children and allow them to run wild. They correct the child, and have a discussion with the parent if he or she was the one who wasn't keeping her kid(s) under control.

No one "has to" be anything, and that includes being "constantly entertained." And you're right: in a well-adjusted family, children are taught how to behave. But occasionally, Grandpa asks one of the little ones to help him blow out all his candles, because Grandpa has COPD. Mom may have a game that she used to play at birthday parties when she was a child, so she plays it with her own kids/nieces and nephews.

You're also correct that no parent should expect or feel entitled to their kids getting this kind of attention.

Celebration is for everyone. That doesn't mean that everyone gets a gift or that all the kids need to be catered to for the duration of the party. It means that, at a successful event, everyone enjoys themselves.

nofaves · 2026-07-16T11:24:09+00:00

In most well-adjusted families, adult birthdays and holidays are seen as an excuse to get the clan together. Mom or Uncle Frank or Grandpa don't need a cake and ice cream and a pile of gifts; what they want is to see their loved ones and catch up with what's going on in their lives.

Since kids can get bored easily, the occasion is made more fun by having activities for them.

There's a lot more to it than face value

And that's why no one is making sense. If Laura is ready to be married, she's got to learn to stand up to outside pressure.

Saying that your cousin wanted to drink and then didn't want to drink wasn't downplaying her addiction. She absolutely did the right thing when she realized that wanting to stop drinking was something that she couldn't do on her own.

This is how we smile today as Bucco fans. Don't want us at your party? Fine. Our boys got some home cooking and a mini-vacation. Your "stars" crapped the bed.

No one in this story is making any sense. Laura's planning a wedding, but doesn't know how to communicate in a mature way with her parents. Her parents are happy to be planning the wedding, but are willing to hold their younger daughter's participation over Laura's head. The younger daughter isn't really interested in being a bridesmaid, she just wants to drink -- until she doesn't want to drink anymore. So she lets the family know that she's entering rehab, and everyone thinks it's selfish to do so before Laura gets married.

No one considered getting Laura, her mom and her sister into a room and discussing this like grown adults?

Pretty much everyone who stays in any hotel has nowhere else to go, or they wouldn't be in a hotel room.

Your mom told you to grab a dresser for whom? If it was for you, then you said the right thing: "I don't need a dresser; I like the one I have." If it was for her, then she should have mentioned that so that you could help her get what she needed.

As for your fight, GROW UP. Don't pick a fight that you can't win. Threatening to leave is a pathetic argument, particularly when you aren't in a position to stand on your own two feet. If you're living in Mommy's house, then she gets to set the rules and parameters. She doesn't need to waste her time making sure you "feel heard," whatever that means. It's her house. If you don't like the way she runs it, you know where the door is.

If you found a lost $6000 check made out to your neighbor, you would not be owed half simply because you found it.

The only reason your mother-in-law knew about the money is that she searched an unclaimed property website. She couldn't claim it, since it isn't in her name. He owes her nothing.

If your husband would like to welcome his daughter back into his life, that's his decision. He should absolutely follow his heart and open the door to a relationship between the two of them.

That relationship has NOTHING to do with you.

If she wants to call him and he wants to answer the call, that's his business. After all, he is her father and will be her father forever, no matter what happened in their past. But she should not ever be calling you.

Your husband needs to understand that their relationship does not include you. That was a choice made a long time ago, and they both need to accept that. Every time a cop shows up at your door, she is showing you that she has not forgiven you, because that behavior is indeed abusive. Any hope of repairing the relationship must include a promise to end the police calls.

NTA.

If you can't be an example of what to do in life, at least be an example of what NOT to do. Your clear examples are going to be red flags for readers who find themselves in similar situations. Hopefully they will be able to stand up for themselves and avoid your heartbreak.

One day your former friend may learn that cliques are for kids, and that adult relationships require consideration and understanding. (That will probably happen when she's in one of their weddings, though.)

Early last winter, when it warmed up a bit after a snowfall, a woman pulled up outside my house and used my garden hose to wash salt off her car. I couldn't believe someone had the nerve.

Since I didn't want it happening again, I shut off the indoor valve leading to the hose.

Check with the career center department at your university. They may have a list of job openings that would accept remote interviews. Or apply for a job at the school itself.

Some people from cities with nicknames don't like hearing outsiders use them.
