I [27F] want to sedate mentally & physically handicapped future-SIL [25F] at our wedding. Advice? Opinions? Alternatives?◉ Locked Post ◉
submitted 2 years ago * by Just1Day

My wonderful SO, Evan [30M], proposed after four years together. I am beyond elated, and ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

Evan only has one sibling, a sister. His sister [25] has a plethora of physical and mental disabilities that will limit her independence for the rest of her life. She still lives with Evan's parents, and has a part-time assistant.
She is completely wheelchair bound. She is mostly non-vocal. She used to use sign language frequently, but has progressively lost that ability because she has lost dexterity.

I love my future SIL, with all my heart. I know one day we will take SIL and move her into our house. She has expressed wanting to stay an active member of the family, and not move into a group home. I am fully on board!
However, both Evan and I have agreed that she cannot live with us until how she deals with her feelings is in check. When SIL cannot get her point across, or does not like something, she screams bloody murder. Sometimes until her face turns blue. Sometimes she lashes out to hit, but is too slow because of her muscular condition. She's been known to puke on herself purposefully for attention, or knock things over, more so when she isn't being given attention when she's trying to show off something.

So, my wedding day is coming up. And I really, really, just want it to be about me and Evan. I want to be that bride in the white dress with all eyes on her. I want to have my day in the sun and surrounded by all the people I know and love. I want a great wedding, with great memories, where everyone has a good time.

.........I realize this next sentence is really controversial. And I really feel bad about it, which is why I'm asking Reddit for advice before I say anything that I can never take back.

I would like to ask Evan's mom if we can keep SIL sedated during the wedding. I think it has been mentioned that SIL was prescribed sedatives when she was a kid so she could go to school and not act out. I'd really like to have a wedding that is easy, relaxing, and enjoyable for everyone. And hopefully, with a little chemical help, SIL will also be calm through the whole thing.

I figure, I would ask anyone coming to my wedding to keep their infant child or six year old quiet. So is this that much different?

I don't want MIL to spend her time at the ceremony in the back with SIL trying to keep her from acting out. At Evan's cousin's college graduation we attended, that's all my MIL did the whole time. She didn't get to enjoy it. And seeing as this will most likely be the only wedding she gets to go to where one of her kids is getting married, I'd like for her to be able to participate without having to feel like she needs to chaperone in the back.

I'm afraid if I just say "I want to keep SIL calm and quiet"- she'll take this route. And I've thought about SIL's part time caretaker, but I don't know if this is a good fit. SIL could still start shouting because of new, unexpected sounds in a new environment. Or cause herself to vomit because she (SIL) isn't getting enough attention. I honestly could handle the noise. The vomit is just nasty.

Is this too selfish? Should I not even ask? I feel really torn. On one side, I really want to just have a normal, peaceful wedding where I don't have to worry about anything. On the other hand, I don't want to be the bitch who forced/coerced/asked to drug up the handicapped kid.

Lmao. This kind of things happens with scars or any physical "defect". I've been on the receiving end of this from a woman before. I mean, she only knew me for a very short period of time so it was completely acceptable to find something like repulsive.

It is real weird after a 7 year good marriage. Finding people you are actually compatible with sucks and takes time, because most people you date for more than a few weeks seem compatible for 4-30 months. If the marriage is otherwise good this guy is a literal idiot. I seriously suspect there is more to it. Mismatched sex drives, midlife crisis, sick of her personality, who knows.

I also kind of don't get why the wife won't do anything about the scar. I mean in my case I have a scar that's about 8" long and 1" wide so getting it removed wouldn't be very practical. There are some other minor things I suppose I'd get a minor operation for in that situation, but at the same time I'd probably want to end a relationship with someone who cares so drat much about a 2" scar on my stomach that they'd terminate a long rear end good? relationship over it.

Sedated may be an overreaction but having one special day without having to worry the sister - regardless of mental capacity - not cause a scene?

Hahahahaha. Drug her. Ativan. The parents deserve to witness this moment in their children's lives and they probably need a break from the chick who vomits on herself. Those people need 24/7 care and even saints can't put up with them that much.

That's literally how they deal with the profoundly disabled in hospitals. This woman, as unlucky as she is, is lucky enough to have a family that will love her and care for her even when her parents die. She won't spend her life in one of those institutions. She can take a day of sedation, especially considering ativan is the sedative she probably has.

This is what the paid assistant is for. She should be in charge of the SIL, tend to her and help keep her calm. Also--give the SIL some flowers, just for her, so she doesn't feel completely abandoned and start the vomiting routine.

I Found a Bag of Weed in my Basement

u/weedinmybasement8h

I live in New York State, outside Rochester. I bought my house six years ago, and just this weekend I started renovating the half-assed job the previous owner did of finishing the basement. I tore out a bunch of crappy fake wood paneling and I found a hidden alcove that contained a bunch of porn magazines and a ziploc bag of weed.

I didn't touch any of it (I was wearing work gloves anyhow) and I put that panel back for now.

There's enough dust on the stuff that I'm sure no one has been in the alcove in years.

Call me naive, but I don't think it's going to go well if I call 911 and say "I found the previous homeowner's stash." Even just reading that back, it sounds like bullshit.

Could an attorney (criminal defense, I guess?) arrange for me to surrender the weed for disposal?

Dude really needs to take his fiancee on an extended vacation to Hawaii or Italy or somewhere really nice and different as an escape from her mundane life because that is exactly what she is doing with her elaborate stuffed animal fantasies.

Alternatively, it's not really that bad since she pays attention to him again and they're both huge rear end nerds with an otherwise functional relationship. Could be so much worse like comic book rear end in a top hat guy. Still super weird but it doesn't register much.

My "traditional" wife (27) and I (28) are having some serious issues in our finances. Please read and share your insight. Looking for some helpful suggestions

quote:

This is a throwaway account to remain anonymous. My wife and I have always struggled to see eye-to-eye over finances. I've always been a 50/50 person with bills and joint expenses, and she's more "traditional" where the man must cover the larger portion no matter what. This is what's causing us to fight. We have separate finances and do not plan on combing our income. This is a mutual decision. I realize that we should have discussed this before marriage, but it's too late. So please don't point out the obvious. We are still here and trying to work it out.

Finances:

I make $3000/mo AFTER taxes My personal monthly bills are: Car note: $500 Car ins: $80 Phone:$100 CC bills: $200 child support: $390

She makes $2400/mo AFTER taxes Her personal monthly bills are: Car note: $400 Car ins: $160 Phone: $125 CC bill: $50 Braces: $209

We want a house that is 150k so payments are estimated at about $1500.00/month including taxes, insurance etc plus utilities, so let's round it up to an even 2,000/month

How can we split up the household expenses to be fair?

Remember that my wife is "traditional" and doesn't want to be the one paying the bigger half of shared expenses regardless of what income she makes. I.e. If her income increases, I must find a way surpass it so that I can afford to stay ahead and pay more of our expenses. If I don't find a way, we will have problems..

Please give me a breakdown that you think might work.

Tldr: need to find a budget that fits when wife has traditional views on finances
This guy posted roughly the same exact thread yesterday except I think yesterday his wife was refusing to contribute to finances at all. Baby steps!

Just like Mama used to make it!
I don't understand why some married people have money issues. I make around 65k and my wife, 35k. All of our money goes into one account which is used to pay bills and cover daily expenses. Some of that is automatically sent to different savings accounts to use for investments/rainy days/oh-poo poo-this-happened kind of things.

If either of us wants a big ticket item we just say, "I would like to purchase X for $xxx. Do we have enough to cover that?"

As long as bills are paid, food is on the table, and we keep ourselves entertained, what else is there? We're not roommates.

Same, in my mind there are three major incompatibilities that will kill a relationship dead every time. Those are being sexually incompatible, having different ideas on finances, and mismatched desire to have kids. Not at least having a conversation about these things before getting married is insane.

Either this guy was a complete dummy, or he knew without talking about it that his wife had very different ideas about money than he did, and just chose to bury his head in the sand and hope for the best, rather than face the difficult conversation and possibility of being alone

My [25F] dogs [5F German Sheppard & 3M Rottweiler] has started to growl at my boyfriend [27M] anytime he comes near my son [4M] (Non-Romantic)

quote:

Earlier in my relationship my dogs loved my boyfriend, he would play with them, he would take them for walks but recently they hate him. It's like if he comes near my son they are fully prepared to take a chunk out of him. My dogs have never had a problem with anyone, people always comment how gentle they are.

My boyfriend does not live with us and he babysits brad sometimes when I am at work.

This started two weeks he came over for dinner and the moment he walked into Brads room they ran up the stairs, ran right past me and into his room. The were showing their teeth, growling, barked when he tried to enter the room.

This was so unlike them, I have never seen them angry before this and they did not stop until he was out of sight. They don't do this with anyone else, even brad friends father was here the other day and they were perfectly friendly with him. They have never met the man before.

Every time my boyfriend is here they both sit with brad, if my boyfriend even walks past the room the growl. The dogs love brad really I have never had a problem, they carry his toys to him. They always want us to play

They never have a problem with me coming near brad, they always want me to play with them. If they see me playing with brad they just go back to sleep. It's literally only my boyfriend
Am I right to think something is up and he did something to brad?

tl;dr: Dogs hate boyfriend all of a sudden and won't let him come near brad (my son).

Edit Hi, yeah so the dogs were right. My boyfriend basically broke up with me when I confronted him about it, he basically said he gave brad a "light" tap on his hand and the dogs freaked out when he did it. I finally got the truth out of him after he continued to lie, half the things he said made no sense. I am sure the light tap is bullshit and he hit him hard He broke up with me, but honestly I can't say I am sad that he is out of my life
