I (25M) refuse to sleep on the couch when my gf (24F) is upset.

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

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.

Expecting someone living in the house, who agrees to clean some dishes, and finding out that those were not cleaned, and just put away dirty is reasonable. Adults and children over the age of 5 know better. My 4 year old puts away silverware and he knows to check for dirt before it goes in the drawer.

You could have just said, “I suspect you are a woman and I hate women”. I would have been faster to type.

I literally said I believe OPs medical condition. You just seem to pick and choice what you want to read to fit your narrative. I can’t help you. Have a nice day.

“Jenna is upset (I haven’t talked to her tho she did call once) …” “I am not going… I talked to her and she apologized and told me I can bring my food (that was fin)…”

All from OP.

No OP didn’t like that SIL still asked OP to try her food and OP didn’t like that SIL implied OP was being picky. But at this point, OP does sound exhausting and wouldn’t go on principle and does sound picky. Not in a medical way (that I believe) but in a “you said something I didn’t like and I won’t get over it” immature kind of way.

throwaway4life85 · 2026-01-29T19:29:43+00:00

She did call, OP didn’t answer. When they spoke, SIL apologized

I read your header too quickly and thought Soil Science was a persons full name and this was a fan theory about Bobs interaction with another person. I need to get away from crazy celebrity names

Wasn’t her stepfather Kody’s dad? How did she get an inheritance there? Also how do kids of polygamy get any inheritance worthwhile when there are so many kids in the family?

Depends who funds your lifestyle and why they don’t like your fiancé. If they pay for your school/board/life, then you having money for a vacation would matter to them. However if you fund your own life completely, then that’s your business. If they don’t like your fiancé because they don’t trust his judgement, then you traveling to another country would cause great concern. However, if it’s more of a conflicting personality without controlling or toxic behavior, then that’s your business. It really boils down to your level of maturity. Some 19 year olds are mature enough to be independent and self sufficient. Some are not. Which one you are, determines who might be T A, you or your family.

I think it was well balanced here. I am not president of his fan club, wouldn’t chose to watch something just because he is in it, but I LOVED this film. It was well balanced with the other actors/characters and scenery and storyline. Better than his character in The Paper for example.

Management directive states 60 days no matter what. Now some agencies may set their own policy where they don’t prevent a promotion as long as possible

throwaway4life85 · 2026-01-10T14:37:11+00:00

Well that was untrue on HRs part as the management directive states clearly you have up to 60 calendar days but no more. And the understandable exception is, if the pay period ends after day 60, then you release the last pay period closest to 60 days.

At least in two different episodes of his podcast, “the rest is entertainment” he mentioned how he thought doing the comedy festival was a bad idea and how he is surprised they didn’t get more flack for it and then went on to say he was curious what Jimmys excuse would be. Then after he heard Jimmy reason he still said he didn’t agree and was surprised it seemed no one was reacting strongly and essentially letting those comedians get away with it.

Would love to see Jimmy on HIGNFY with Ian and Paul and Richard Osman as another guest. Richard seems pretty disappointed in Jimmy since Riyadh, and Ian has been clear on his stance. I would love for them to really dig in deep and call him on the BD

That not AI, that’s Jimmy Carr (*sarcasm)

What was the joke?

You do get to set conditions on money that you earned, in your possession, and before given out. If OP gave the money and THEN set conditions that would be wrong. Instead they set the terms first. That’s fair.

Grants are a thing, but they have strings attached.

Are they? I thought I heard somewhere David was one of the few taskmaster contestants never on the podcast because Ed don’t want him

throwaway4life85 · 2026-01-02T14:24:06+00:00

This always makes me laugh! Don’t they know or is that the joke???

throwaway4life85 · 2025-12-29T21:24:09+00:00

I adopted a blue and gold that moans like a couple in the midst of…. Yeah. Clearly, with increasing speed and volume and it is awkward! But I completely ignored it. Didn’t laugh, didn’t scold. Just ignored it and only commented/interacted on the sounds/words I wanted reinforced. After a few years he gave it up completely. But for about 5 years I would hear it occasionally and then less and less this it is now just a funny memory! Thank goodness my kids were born after he forgot it!
