I totally agree with you and I would, but we live in a “fancy” tourist town, and she couldn’t afford it. Moving 3000 miles away from her assures us that the situation only comes up once a year at the most. She hasn’t actually stayed with us in 4 years, score! When we make it over to the East Coast, usually for…

True. I can at least look forward to the fact that every other time she’s stayed with me, she has some tantrum and disappears for at least a day or leaves early altogether. And she wonders why I moved 3000 miles away.

Such a babe

I can totally roll my eyes at myself. I also try to tell myself to be patient with my 19 year old brother. This too shall pass ::deep breath:: haha

We kinda do the same thing here in the Bay Area. It doesn’t work.

It’s one of the movies that is always at the top of my list, no matter what type of stuff I’m into at the moment. I recently unpacked a bunch of DVD’s I bought in my early 20's (early aughts) and, holy jeez, I was so pretentious and unaware.

That’s so funny about the dachshund! I have one and have been thinking about getting a bunny. The dachshund loves all animals, but catches them off guard because he charges in so fast all I WANNA PLAY!!! He’s also super jealous of us giving attention to other animals, but he eventually gets used to it.

High five, scoliosis sister! Wishing you a smooth healing process

The oven was the first thing to be taken care of for us, because when you have a partner that actually enjoys cooking, you get him the range he wants!! Good luck with yours, too, and I will definitely be checking in!

Congratulations on paying off your car! I just bought my first house and, lawd, the (1980s) cabinets are ugly and everywhere. We are slowly replacing all the ugly kitchen appliances. For now, covering the fridge with magnets and pictures has to be adequate camouflage, because next up is the dishwasher that doesn’t…

WHYYYYYYY?!?

Ugh sorry you had to waste time on a dud. As a side note, my new life motto is “out there is terrible”

Fingers crossed they leave as scheduled! My husband and I just bought our first house, and my mom is planning on visiting next spring. I’m already dreading it now that we have room for guests and can’t make her stay at a hotel.

Yikes. That is horrible and I’m pissed at him for already trying to gaslight you. Complain away.

Omg that’s hilarious. If I watch too much British TV, I start using their slang and get similar eye rolls from my husband. But he’s really Southern, and the colloquialisms that come out of his mouth sometimes...bless his heart.

Eek! I am so terrified of bees. I’m pretty sure I would need to torch those rugs. ER marathon is definitely in order.

Hi all! My phone died and took my burner key with it. Boo!

I read “baby mama,” scrolled back up to his face, then scrolled back down to those words, and just shook my head. Go away, Zack.
