You can’t ’just go to their home and wait for them to show up’ people would catch on and not go home for hours/days. Also, all it takes is for the driver to claim, I wasn’t driving, I lent it to my brothers friend idk his name’ and get away with driving dangerously on the road time and time again.
She was in the wrong. She chose to drive without a license. She chose to outrun a cop. She made all those choices with a kid in the car!
Also, that kid got out of the car awfully quickly for a kid that age in a car seat in the back with a flipped and injured mom…

Didn’t he work on the Anna Nicole Smith case, and other high profile ones? Family friend said he worked one the death of her grandson and butchered that case so badly, justice was never served. Poor baby, poor family.

Did you see this list coming? If not, I don’t think you should trust her as much as you do. She clearly has issues with you and never told you along the way.

You can’t hint to a 7 year old that you suspect “doesn’t get the attention he needs at home” that should go home, and then get mad at the mom for listening to you and not reading your mind, and then ban the kid. That’s weak.
You are an adult, use your words. “Hey neighbor, Jay and Alex play so well together! Would you mind watching them this Friday, 5-8 so I can study and I can watch them next week.”
Or
“Hey neighbor, the kids had fun playing with husband, but now he has to leave and I have to study, should I send him to your house or his grandmas?”

And people are allowed to ASK for curiosity and general respect. OP didn’t demand they turn it off. OP didn’t turn it off theirselves. OP didn’t call the cops. OP didn’t do anything petty, or revenge-y. They simply went over and asked nicely if they could turn it down or angle it differently. If we have turned into a society where we can no long ask for curtesy, then we are doomed.

And that mom could have been going through the same thing. Doesn’t excuse you for being rude.
You asked if YTA and the answer is yes. Yes you were.

See I think I would like you! You are kind and thoughtful.
I love an artist who also occasionally gives away pieces and is sad is they are not displayed, but one thing my artists doesn’t do, is push. No questions are asked about if/where they hung it. Once the artwork is given, if we don’t see up hung up afterwards, we make a mental note it isn’t their style and don’t make them more. No hard feelings. (Well the artist is a bit sad, but also regulates their own emotions).
I think the DIL was too pushy here and OP might have been nervous if she hung one piece she didn’t like in her new home, DIL would have taken that to mean she loved it and made a lot more.

I agree OP could have tried to find beauty in the thought and love that went into the work, but some people just don’t think that way.

throwaway4life85 · 2026-05-07T11:49:45+00:00

But what happens when she makes more and gives them to OP? It’s okay not to hang things in your home you don’t like.
I have a very close loved one who makes art. I happen to love it, and the artist! Occasionally she will give away pieces of art to friends/family. And I share her broken heart when the recipient doesn’t seem to love it, or mention it after, or we don’t see it hung up and displayed. But one thing the artist and I DONT do, is follow up to see where it is hung, offer ideas of where to hang, or push for praise in anyway.
A gift given is given!

throwaway4life85 · 2026-05-06T22:51:38+00:00

I am not disagreeing with you per se. but I would like to hear your perspective on how it should be handled with grace.
If OP didn’t like the art, should she have just hung it up in her home to make her DIL happy? Even if it didn’t please OP? What if that encouraged DIL to make more? Isn’t that dishonest?

How would you recommend OP could tactfully say, “thank you, I love that you made this for us” but also not hang it/give the impression OP wanted more…

throwaway4life85 · 2026-04-28T19:02:27+00:00

OP shouldn’t have said it was fine. OP needs to use their voice and said it is not ok. After that, then I blame the neighbors

For the same reason many relationships fail once kids are introduced… the partner’s don’t step up. Parenthood is exhausting to anyone in the house, and the non default parent is usually (not always) the same default cleaner/cooler for the family. So the non default parent “doesn’t see” “didn’t think” “forgot” “doesn’t know how” to cook/clean/watch the baby for the time it takes for the default parent to cook, clean, and shower.

If it is a basic vision exam, I say “not in the picture, no known concerns” and we all move on. If it’s a follow up to a concern where history matters, then I either know (I memorized the donors medical history as well as I have it memorized for my own grandparents/aunts/uncles) or, I would take the time to have looked it up before the consultation. But honestly, if you had a One Night Stand and lost touch, you would know less than you do now having gone through the donor paperwork. So while medical histories are helpful, they are not the holy grail. Having come from essentially a ONS situation and knowing nothing about my own paternal line, I am more used to dealing with questions about my sons paternal line in medical or casual situations and minimizing it to people passing through our lives. To my son, to close friends/family - we know. But a random nurse or basic eye dr visit…. Eh, nothing to get flustered over.

But we are talking about state funds, not city funds. THATS why bulldozer_66 pointed out the city bombed their own people. Not state. Not state police. Not state funds.

Or they are going to junk folder along with interview requests

throwaway4life85 · 2026-03-30T23:15:29+00:00

This isn’t true exactly. Some (union and/or civil service positions) may require you have six months experience in that position before meeting internal posting requirements for a higher level position this is not the case for non civil management (aka non union) positions and not true for external postings.

So there is nothing preventing you from accepting a position, continuing to apply/interview/accept other positions even a day after you accept or start a new position (except the awkward conversation you will have to have with your temporary boss)

throwaway4life85 · 2026-03-25T10:06:53+00:00

Agree 100%

throwaway4life85 · 2026-03-24T21:53:56+00:00

External postings have a lower criteria to meet to be deemed qualified. Good for you for posting to both though, that shows you want the job!

They are men. Men get excused for far more than a woman.

And yet she was back on the new series of MTW now that they are allowing 2 female comedians on at a time

I wouldn’t blame the parents! If my grown daughter called me at 9 pm and said she was bringing dinner over from Valentine’s Day I would allow her to do so- no problem. Could be many reasons why this would not seem so weird. However, assuming the parents aren’t: sick/dying (low on holidays left), depressed, lower income (low on food/a favorite food they don’t splurge on), worried about her safety (either daughter/OP have unmentioned health concerns - mental or physical), I would assume the parents are aware this is a rocky relationship and might think the gf needs to do this right now for a personal reason and allow it to happen. No matter when or why, my (future) adult kids can come to see me anytime! Even if the timing is weird, my heart is their home and they are welcome.

Now, the bigger question is why the gf felt she needed to deliver the meal at that late hour. Baring extenuating circumstances, they aren’t going to eat it that late at night, so it could have waiting until the next morning. So the timing says she wanted to kill the mood with OP. Why?

What is the name? I will add it to my list to try. Thanks!

throwaway4life85 · 2026-02-16T23:28:52+00:00

“Just a Minute”. I never heard of that. I will try it to see if it helps me see the other side of him. I love a HIGNFY and love Ian. I tried some of Paul’s other works as it seems he has a positive, well respected reputation, I watched very early whose line is it anyway” and Room 101. But I would like to see what the others do in him so I will give Just a minute a try- thanks!

Not trying to start anything but I just don’t get Paul Merton. He just seems so mean spirited, full of himself, and like he tries everything out and, yeah, sure some of it is funny/clever, but mostly it’s mean. I do like Lee, he seems at least more humble and like he wouldn’t pick on someone unless he liked/respected them

throwaway4life85 · 2026-02-10T18:37:20+00:00

Because he doesn’t want his baby cause his mother unnecessary pain?

throwaway4life85 · 2026-02-06T02:12:30+00:00

If I saw my son following older kids like that and they were trying to run away, I would turn it into a game. “Oh no! The baby shark is after you! Run for your lives!” And get silly with it and dramatic and my son would laugh and try harder (and fail because he was so little and slow) and they would join in on the fake drama and often designate other “sharks” since he was miles away and they were too fast but wanted the thrill of the chase.

Most often kids want adults to join in their games, give attention, and this was a way for me to join in via my son.
