Actually, he can probably get off the hook if he gets a lawyer and shuts the gently caress up. They have no proof that he was personally driving the car at the time of the crash, and even if he admits to driving the vehicle, there is no proof that he was drunk at that time.

My rear end in a top hat cousin did this once. He crashed his Festiva (lol) because he was drinking and trying to open a can of chew at the same time. He nearly bit his tongue off in the crash, and grabbed all his documents and the license plate and walked about a half mile home. He didn't answer the door when the cops came by, and waited long enough so that he couldn't be charged with anything (because they didn't have any proof he was driving).

Assholes get away with poo poo because they keep their mouth shut.

She’s a selfish parent who lacking further information at no point spoke to her daughter in any serious, respectful way about her feelings involving the divorce. Probably no therapy, either. Also just lol at “met probably too many of her father’s female guests” c’mon.

She's selfish because she wants to have a relationship with another adult that isn't her ex-husband? I'm pretty sure a 12-year old girl is manipulative enough to know that she can do whatever she wants at one parent's house, and the other has some rules, and she knows which she'd rather be in.

yeah the vape carts that smell like candy are tobacco ones. the weed ones definitely exude a concentrated aroma d'ouid when you exhale so you have to be careful where you're doing it.

Lots of weed carts are also filled with that same flavor/scent combo. You can totally vape weed inconspicuously in public.

You still look like a vaping douche, but you stop caring when the THC hits.

My (F50) Daughter in law (24F) gave birth and doesn't seem to want a relationship with me

Remember this story where the mother in law was SO AGGRIEVED that her son and DIL didn't visit her after DIL spent three loving days in labor? She did everything from question the doctor's diagnosis to pitching a fit that she didn't get a phone call during recovery. Remember how it got updates where her trying to find legal advice for grandparent's rights? And then a friend of hers informed the DIL about it so they could take preemptive measures?

Yeah, her edit about “I listened to you all and broke up with him. He’s just a deadbeat loser who wanted my money, get hosed!” was really gross. Dude is clearly a struggling dad trying to make ends meet and she’s insanely privileged and treated him as a disposable novelty that she could toss away as soon as she got bored. It’s true that she doesn’t have to let him live there for free and even as unfair as it was it still would’ve been to his advantage to live there and pay what she asked, but her response to the situation is ugly as gently caress

Everyone can suck in a situation. That guy was an idiot for thinking he should get to live for free (along with his family!) and she sucks for tossing him aside when he was extremely vulnerable.

I should have made two sentences there, sorry.

"two parents, kids, and nobody else" -subject

"basically never happened" - predicate

"except for extreme situations." - modifier

I was saying that the situation during Covid was extremely unusual historically. It was the sort of thing that only happened when it couldn't be avoided, like when a single family was the last remaining people at a remote settlement.

Ah, gotcha.

We had our first in 2018, and he turned 2 right as COVID broke out. Why we decided a second child was a smart idea in 2021, that I cannot explain.

Daycare during COVID was only possible because my wife was WFH and I could take the older child into my office when I wasn't traveling. There were times the entire classroom was closed due to teachers being sick, and many other stupid scenarios that made it so difficult.

And now we're paying 660 bucks a week for the privilege. At least until the end of August, when my oldest starts public school.

That's a tough one. There's no way to give a very expensive gift without someone finding fault with it.

I guess she could have done it in private, but then it would look like they're loving on the side or something. Maybe the answer is no one gets to have nice things, ever.
