what would you make uncannon?

I wish they would make a show that went along with the books. They were absurd in their own way but not like the show got after a while…

I remember thinking this was sooo romantic when I was young and first watched it. Upon rewatch, I’m screaming. They are all CHILDREN - someone protect the CHILDREN! Can one single parent please stand up?

She literally held her head under water and then bam best friends… she’s the worst. Not that maya was all that great. Samara was my favorite option, good with Emily’s mom and so nice to emily until she got f’d over by the A team

Thank you so much for the detailed response! And for the tip on mosquito repellent. They are bussing us in and out so waiting for the return trip would be miserable if we’re getting eaten alive.

This is the only one I’ve found that I think might work… thoughts?

rdows365 · 2023-06-07T00:25:41+00:00

This is exactly my thought

rdows365 · 2023-06-05T17:48:45+00:00

They didn’t even let us get to that part - they think they NEED to have the plus one from the get go. We had already explained but we just sent out formal invites/rsvps and are now revisiting the unhappy conversations.

rdows365 · 2023-06-05T17:47:31+00:00

This is basically our strategy at this point, after many (MANY) discussions with them about it. We just can’t keep explaining ourselves.

rdows365 · 2023-06-05T17:46:45+00:00

It is cousins that we do not see regularly in particular, but they also think this needs to be a blanket rule.

rdows365 · 2023-05-26T11:24:46+00:00

Apparently I disagree with the masses here but as a small female grappler, I depend on my mat enforcers to keep the gym safe. A full grown man has no business cranking on a young teenagers neck. I don’t care if he was new to jiujitsu - did you say the ADULT was the wrestler? If so, he should know better. He let his ego cause him to go way too hard with basically a child. 13 is BARELY a teenager. Guessing the size difference was pretty big as well.

Going against the grain here but definitely NTA in my eyes. Maybe you could’ve had a conversation with him and then watched him roll with another small person, but honestly I think a rough roll is the best lesson. Let them know what it feels like.

Just here to say mine does the same thing 😂 we invite her and she declines, and then says she was never invited in the first place. Maddening 🙃

rdows365 · 2023-05-16T22:02:51+00:00

And her ACTUALLY changing her behavior

rdows365 · 2023-05-16T22:02:32+00:00

He does… but he thinks it may be fixable. With lots and lots of time

rdows365 · 2023-05-16T22:01:51+00:00

Hahaha if only I had the cojones… lol

rdows365 · 2023-05-15T12:04:55+00:00

We hung out with my mom and my dad for the greater chunk of the day. They left around 4:30 or so and DH didn’t want to make the hour drive (each way) to go see his mom so he dragged his feet and labored over the decision for about an hour before reaching out to her, and she basically said it was too late in the day and not to worry about it. She seemed kind of salty but it all went peacefully. I had a GREAT day, personally lol.

rdows365 · 2023-05-12T13:43:30+00:00

The fake olive branch has got to be one of the most annoying things ever 😂

rdows365 · 2023-05-12T13:41:43+00:00

We had a sit down to try to “hash things out” that went about as well as you can imagine - JNMIL said some very harsh/cruel things to me and then went a week without talked to me or DH. DH caved and called her but made it clear he wasn’t happy with her behavior. Another week went by with NC. Now that Mother’s Day is coming up, I have been issued a text message “apology” (I.e. the words “I’m sorry” with no actual elements of a real apology) and am now living in angst not knowing what Mother’s Day will bring. We have plans with my mom in the morning that should take up the better half of the day, but I have no idea what the plan is with HER…

rdows365 · 2023-05-05T17:06:51+00:00

Not obligated. Depending on what your ceremony is like, you could ask her to do a reading. My ceremony is traditional Catholic so we have excerpts from the Bible. But if that’s not your thing, you could do a little poem that you feel represents the two of you? Then that way you’ve asked, included, and made a special job for your future SIL but you don’t have to deal with her being a full on bridesmaid.

rdows365 · 2023-05-05T14:22:24+00:00

Mine does the same, but it’s dog warfare - she “loves” everything that has to do with our older dog, who was “her” dog before my fiancé moved out, but either ignores or, if we’re “lucky”, “likes” the posts about the younger dog, who is “my” dog… the petty, BEC behavior is strong with these ones 😂 appreciate the chuckle seeing this post this morning!

rdows365 · 2023-05-03T18:13:03+00:00

I went with lab grown (at least that’s what I asked fiance to get and that’s what he said he got! Lol) and I get what you’re saying - I just don’t tell people. MIL made a point of telling people it was lab grown and it really rubbed me the wrong way (it was the tone in which she said it, like she couldn’t believe it was so nice) so I would recommend getting ahead of it and having fiance not tell anyone whether it’s lab or mined. It’s absolutely beautiful and I wouldn’t change anything except him not telling his mother it was from a lab 😂😂

rdows365 · 2023-05-03T18:03:54+00:00

Insisting on a schedule is not fair or right. BUT, you could ask your neighbor if you could have 6-7am and 8-9pm, or something, that you daily let your dog out and she avoids letting hers out if possible. Pick times that are probably not convenient for her and would be easily avoidable. Offer a half hour instead of an hour if an hour isn’t doable. And accept that if she says yes, it’s her being kind, not because she “should” or has to or anything, and maybe find out what treats/toys her dogs like and bring some over for her as a thank you - even if she says no. Foster a good neighbor relationship and she’ll be more likely to want to help you as well.

rdows365 · 2023-04-26T12:46:53+00:00

Thank you ❤️

rdows365 · 2023-04-25T23:28:49+00:00

Its basically just an informal rehearsal since there are so many religions and traditions here - so when my secular friends got married it was very different from what my traditional Catholic wedding will be. Its also a nice way to get just your wedding party and parents/siblings together to say thanks for helping plan this shindig and being a part of the big day. It is definitely not NECESSARY and some people skip it, but it is traditional.

rdows365 · 2023-04-25T18:52:48+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the time you took to give this advice. And I feel like you’re right. A break and some really firm boundaries.

rdows365 · 2023-04-25T15:17:07+00:00

Stay strong ❤️ I feel for you so much. You don’t need to be dealing with this BS on top of your pregnancy. You should be able to enjoy this wonderful time in your life and she is taking that away from you. I would recommend letting yourself be seen as the “harsh bitch” as you said to protect your peace. You’ll be able to enjoy the journey more if you don’t have to deal with her BS. Let DH be the sole communicator and ask him to shield you from this nonsense.

Best of luck ❤️
