We are overseas so luckily we don’t see her much.

We live overseas. So, luckily, it’s easy to avoid her over Skype. ;)

I have wondered this too. But I try to talk religion as little as possible. Which is hard in the family I married into. In-laws & BIL’s wife are hard-core evangelicals. Our family & SIL’s family is normal. So always a 50/50 chance of my head exploding. ;)

Which mortifies me!

Omg!!! This was years ago. But we got charged beaucoup bucks for my kid’s NICU stay which we had to fight but finally managed to get insurance to cover it. So they paid thousands of dollars for NICU but the insurance company was adamant they would not cover the $300 hearing test. Which is standard, so my mind was…

I had a coworker whose husband was Michael. They named their kids Micheal Jr., Michela & Michelle. And all three had a variation of the same name for their middle names. This is me when she told me their names. -> 😳

Same.

Ironically, one of the people I know that voted for Trump to watch the world burn works at Goldman. This (with some other stuff) makes me suspect he is having a quarter/mid-life crisis.

Pretty sure this is why my SIL voted for him & Pence whom she respects greatly. 🙄

This!! Liberals exist in the Midwest.

Ok, my disconnect story to cheer you up because it is so over the top ridiculous.

Yes, exactly. I first saw this on another site but I thought what beautiful to regroup, move on and hopefully, find some closure/peace?. I’m not sure exactly but it made me really glad that Hillary could get away from the crowds and have a moment of peace.

Damn, the Kardashians have some cute babies!

Really? Because I’m from Iowa too, although I no longer live there. And the first reports I saw had no description of a suspect at all.

I am laughing so hard at myself because I never (not even in adult viewings) realized that was Bernadette Peters. 😂

Luckily, most communication goes through my husband. And we live very, very far away from them and the family speaks to each in Chinese when together so it’s pretty easy to ignore.

Said this upthread but my MIL is a prosperity gospel Christian and Chinese. It is a bad, bad combo.

Omg, my MIL would totally fall for this scam while knowingly handing tons of cash to her church.

Or even if they don’t treat their daughters like property. My FIL deeply loves his daughter and truly wants a fair, equalitarian marriage for her (it seems she has an asshole husband that does nothing). But, encourages asshole-ish behavior from my husband. There is a cognitive dissonance that occurs with their own…

Umm, as a mother of 8 month old and 5 year old. She doesn’t need dairy: cow’s milk isn’t usually recommended until one and foods with high salt contents are not good so a lot of cheeses are out. Co-sleeping, if done correctly, is safe and can be beneficial to the baby and mom. Mom gets more sleep, baby doesn’t really…
