hahahaha. this made me laugh out loud. pls tell us more. what did your MIL do to warrant this covert towel war? are there other under the table tactics you / she employ? stories like this will get me through xmas :)

I, for one, am shocked by the popularity of this post!! I still have an annual xmas party with my FORMER colleagues. And none of us even work together anymore. And even in workplaces where I didn’t love my colleagues, I still love free food, booze, and the goss. And getting dressed up. Come to think of it, I would…

nuttin’ to worry about!

Does he do enough to pitch in with domestic duties and the SEVEN (omg) kids? If not - a cookbook. Or what about foregoing something shady but getting something that practically wouldn’t really for him and instead your step sister or the kids could use and enjoy?

You are SO RIGHT. I’ve seen so many people learn this too late in life. For years, my mom did not keep up friendships - we moved a few times and lived far from her hometown, and she was focused on spending time with my dad (who travelled all week) when he was around on the weekend. They had a great relationship for a…

Ah I live around there! Funny :) OK so in that general radius, there are some cute pubs with fireplaces that are good for pairing with an autumn walk in a park (the holly bush or the spaniards inn + hampstead heath or the ordnance arms + primrose hill). I’d defo recommend taking a canal boat from camden to little…

Hello! I live in London and am happy to give you recs near you if you tell me what neighbourhood you’re staying in or what neighbs you wanna see. The Nudge is my fave website for finding cool restaurants and bars in London. I don’t always trust Tripadvisor anymore (I’ve been burned in the past, wondering who these…

Weird story. It might be absolutely fine - your son doesn’t seem scared and luckily you all sleep in the same room so you can monitor. But peeing in your son’s crib is just so.....odd. That part weirds me out the most. Thatmylamp has good advice below. Pls update and let us know what happens!

wow this is horrifying! shudder.

LOL... in a spanish speaking country, or just in general?? If I had heard this, perhaps I would have actually properly learned all the tenses! “SI HUBIERA HABLADO muthafuckkkka”

holy shit, that’s terrifying!! was the cousin you ‘saw’ staying in the house with you? and did your aunt ever give you any more details about her experiences?? did it happen to you again?!?! OMG nothing would make me feel better and more relieved about aging than if my youthful period came with a side of demon…

I love her too! “He’s not a sex addict - he’s a predator” — such a powerful statement (and sadly so sorely needed given his insistence that he should be given ‘a second chance’ and I’ve seen several articles about sex addiction coming off the back of this scandal. And separately... please do tell what brand the blouse…

i want to know too! not another soul on the beach = perfection. just replying to follow if anyone else responds!

I can help! The Nudge website is an excellent resource for finding cool restaurants. Try to make reservations - lots of good places in central London are popular and fill up. What part of town are you staying in? If you’re central, I don’t think asking around will help much - everyone’s busy, and there are so many…

I am an American and have lived in London for over a decade. Don’t worry about blending in! (No matter how you try, you probably won’t anyway, at least not for long!) The advice on dressing well and not being loud is good, but otherwise be yourself. Trainers are really fashionable right now - especially black Nikes,…

Yessssss this is awesome *heart eyes emoji*
