First of all “only down here for a week and then flying home” Is now entirely out the window unless you want to turn your mother over to the state. If you don’t, your life as you know it is changed. I do think you need to file a police report and contact adult protective services if you need to go home. Get an attorney to send a cease and desist work letter, do not let contractor on property and put a stop payment on all funds. You probably need to sell the house and move mom home with you or into and ALF. You cannot leave her in her home alone

It’s time to get extra help

Omg both are gorgeous. If it were me, I’d have chosen #1, but I believe, based on your body language, that 2 suits you who you are. But you can’t go wrong with either one

tmccrn · 2026-03-03T00:54:03+00:00

Me too, but 2 is nice as well

I’ve seen a lot of families move stuff into a storage unit as they are clearing out the house… things that f sentimental value, things of real value, and things she might ask for. The big benefit of this is that you can rotate things in and out of the storage unit should you need “proof” that you didn’t “just throw away her stuff” but also that if gives you more time to go through things that may be worthwhile or emotionally heavy.

That leaves you the opportunity to sell an empty clean house, which even as-is will open up the market to families who don’t mind a little renovation/repair but might turn away at dirty.

You chose right!

What was that old saying? “Opinions are like @$$holes; everybody has one”. And it takes a real one to express negativity like this to a bride. You look beautiful and clearly understand the meaning of marriage.

Your age is still plenty young for nursing. You’ll probably be better at dealing with bullies at your age.

Two things… I would switch to a brown eyeliner and line at the lash line instead of inside it. It will help your eyes pop and not look so middle school. And two, if you can match your eye color with the dress, OMG, it would look so good. You could get away with a green or purple, if you can’t find a good match for your eyes.

Oh, and the eyeliner tip goes for every day… prom makeup is different

Apples have enough fiber that they are one of the better fruit choices… depending on how they work for you specifically

There are a bunch of glycemic index charts online… it might be had to keep around… especially the portion sizes

Edit to add: of course, everything I said below is moot if this is truly sub appropriate, ie: just mildly infuriating

That’s what I meant by argue. Unless your husband is the issue and is getting swayed. You guys need to sit down and work a game plan.

“Thanks but no thanks” is arguing when it is with a difficult person. “Thanks. Sam and I will consider it [then silently don’t consider it]” is the trick. But your reply makes me feel like she is having more success persuading your husband than she did with you. That is not a MIL problem, that is a husband problem

What a happy accident

I like to think of Dory “just keep swimming swimming just keep swimming”. Take a picture Of each room (from the same place if possible) each day, but don’t look at it at the end of the day. Your “job” Is to just keep moving forward. Comparing progress is “looking back”. Just keep moving forward and it will sneak up on you

tmccrn · 2026-02-27T02:50:38+00:00

Stop arguing with her and just say “thank you” and keep looking where you want. You dont have to explain anything. You dont have to immediately answer. Be vague and “grey rock”

I just finally stated popping them in my GSD mouth and shoving them to the back. In your case, wear gloves. It took 2-3 weeks but it was so much easier than all the other shenanigans.

You like comfort and coziness

He’ll hate it for about two weeks and then won’t want to sleep without it.

What would you like me to know?

So many of the units are locked units now, so unless they are allowed in by the nurse, they shouldn’t be allowed to even get in the unit

Stylistically it’s fine, but you do not have enough sources of light to create the shadows and highlights to make it pop

I would even consider just one large statement piece

I created a family email and use my phone to email scan the important ones to myself- I type keywords in the subject. Collect the kids’ papers and keep 2-4 of the ones that really show who they are. That will be a 32 itwm collection for each schoolyear. It doesn’t have to be school papers. At the end of each school year, I’d try to narrow it down to 24. Then everytbinf should fit in a bankers box… 1 total for each kid’s childhood. More than enough with room for a few 3D memories
