My MIL used to do that to me! I’m a size 10, and have been since I had my daughter. I look/feel good this size and I’m not interested in being smaller. But my tiny MIL thinks my former size 6 would be better, and used to buy me 3X nightgowns for Christmas to try to motivate me, I guess? She’d be like “Oh, that’s too…

Welcome to New York! Yes, do it!

You are totally cool to have a fling with him. Teach him to be better in bed than most dudes his age and you’ll actually be helping other women in the future. Just have lots of fun!

Music snobs are the people who realize they have no personality of their own, so they become that music person. They're the wooooorst.

if he likes diverse food, he’ll probably keep it up. my son ate everything as a little tyke, and now at 8 yrs old, continues to love eating everything. he eats far more wide than I do. He’ll try anything and is practically a foodie.

Completely fine, he’s a consenting adult. My cousin (38) recently started dating someone (27) and at first she felt guilty, but he’s into it, and she hasn’t had much luck with men her own age. She decided she’s not going to get in her own way, when the age-appropriate guys she’s dated have been awful, and the kid has…

I am going to say something and you can discount it if you think I am being out of line...

Don’t you dare apologize for liking the honey! The honey stuff was the go to booze of choice back in the day.

Sheeeeit.

Good! I bet you look fabulous! I didn’t gain a lot of weight while I was pregnant, but I did in the six months or so afterwards, as a result of recovering from an emergency C-section and losing a lot of blood, and you know what? In pictures taken at that time, I still look like a million bucks. Because I had a baby…

Awww... :(. I can kind of commiserate with you on the marrying someone parents don’t approve of.

Regarding number 3, I love the metal version of this game. Dudes are like, “Oh, you like x? That’s for little girls. Well, wait until you listen to real metal. Cannibal Corpse is where it’s at.” Always Cannibal Corpse, the one death metal band everyone and their grandma knows.

Yeah, I mean... That’s the nature of a patriarchal society/relationship. Your husband (or whatever) becomes your father and caretaker, essentially. It makes a lot of sense that father/daughter-like sexual relationships would develop as a result, including terminology. “Sweetheart,” “kid,” and other chidren’s pet names…

What a beast! Buying clothes for other people is dangerous territory even with the best of intentions...but passive-aggressively buying clothing deserves a delicious Ex-Lax cake delivered to their house!

In-laws, in general, can diaf. Yours in particular seems like she needed a good pile of tinder.

Get it girl!

Do not worry!

I was 42 when a cute 23 year old I knew made it very clear he was into me. I thought he was insane for digging an old lady like myself. He thought I was a beautiful, hot, sexy, woman.

My pre-baby jeans were too worn out, but still fit. I feel a case of systemic fuckery is upon us.

Yeah she’s under strict advisement to not leave them alone together at any time (my mom accompanied her up there). I just am so confused. As my friend stated, why would you send your granddaughter to a be around someone that you had to essentially rescue your daughter from, Lifetime-movie style? It’s fucking insane.
