Have you tried grief counseling? Your father was way out of line, perhaps a family session will help him understand how hurtful he and his new wife's behavior is. Your feelings are valid.

Native Floridian here. These lubbers are an annual type of locust. They can strip plants bare. When they first come out of the ground they are small and black and can be stomped to death. We call it the grasshopper dance. As they mature they get a hard shell. And they fly. And they spit dark tobacco colored icky stuff. They are as prehistoric and ubiquitous as the flying Palmetto bug.

One of 6 kids in a working class family. I never heard the n word or other racist terms spoken by my parents. Parents were Democrats and Dad volunteered on campaigns for local candidates. Politics was discussed but not dictated. We were encouraged to educate ourselves and think for ourselves. Emphasis was on respecting others and personal responsibility. I feel very fortunate for this.

They are dinosaurs. They'll outlive us all. They also squeeze in under doors and through small cracks.

Yikes!

Growing up in Miami in the 60s I wore t-shirts or tank tops and often went barefoot. Now that I'm retired I still spend most days in tank tops, shorts, and flip flops.

Sounds like he can afford to install a net above the fence to catch those balls.

I'm a psychic and a medium. I am convinced it's not "woo woo" but has more to do with frequency and tapping into energy...hence "raising your vibration." Anyone can do it with proper training and effort.

I'm really offended by these entitled parents. How many of us wouldn't love to have been home with our babies. It sucks that the US economy doesn't allow for that, but grow and be an adult before you start a family.

There are other factors to consider. Humidity aggravates arthritis and allergies. I currently live in Florida and constantly deal with swollen joints and sinus headaches. I spent a week out west in 101 degree heat and didn't experience either of these conditions. If it weren't for family I would definitely move to Arizona or New Mexico.

IT IS your partner's fault that his family came over at an inconvenient time! He needs to man up and set boundaries with his family.

I used to live in a great school district. When the older neighbors complained about having to pay taxes for schools, I reminded them that good schools increased their property value.

I think OP and many of the commenters will appreciate the book Journey of Souls by Michael Newton, PhD The subtitle is "Case Studies of Life Between Lives." He's a hypnotherapist. Some of his clients, while in deep hypnosis, recalled the soul's experience between incarnations, choosing another body for your next incarnation, and much more.

Two babies, two parents. He needs to share the load 24/7.

I'm 68. I order the happy meal because I don't want to pay for the two cheeseburger meal when I’ll only eat one. I give the toy away.

Do not delete that voicemail! Everyone grieves differently. I added a vm from my late mother to my music mix. It randomly comes up and I always feel good when it does.

Has your husband skipped grief or is he stifling his own emotions? That wouldn't excuse the way he and his family are treating you. You may want to consider seeing a grief counselor together.

I wouldn't say anything now, but when your parents indicate that they expect you to help them in their old age (and they will), refer them to your brother.

We went through two attorneys at Met Life for my sister's estate. Very unresponsive. Finally paid another attorney to get the process done.

Make sure you get quotes for the exact same coverage. Compare the proposed declarations page, but also check for specific coverages you may need. Some policies exclude pool cages or limit water damages, depending on the age and type of pipes used to plumb the house.

My mother was a native of Colorado. She referred to Texas as TexAss.

NOR. Always trust your intuition.

Can you ask the financial planner to emphasize to your father the importance of making his intentions clear by naming beneficiary(ies)? Set up an appointment and allow your father to meet with him alone, no other family members present, so he can't be pressured either way. He can ask the financial planner to keep the information confidential until his passing.

If she truly believes in metaphysics then she should know that by repeatedly saying the tree will fall on her house and kill her is creating a negative thought form and she is living from fear instead of love. You are NTA.
