Yeah I think the dress is lovely but there is definitely something wrong in the boob area. Either you don’t have a well fitting bra or the way the dress is made is all wrong for your body type. It does fit the brief though.
If you could get past the ‘straight out a horror movie’ look and you had enough money it does have loads of potential. I would love to take something like this on but I don’t have the money. Would love to see what it looks like once someone has taken it on and refurbished it. I would definitely make it into one big house if I was going to live in it but probably keep as it as 2 if I was selling.
It’s a bit of a weird layout though. It’s really only 3 bedrooms and then like a ‘granny flat’. For £3.5m I would expect better use of the space. I do love the floors though and the pool would be great.
It’s like something Jennifer Love Hewitt would have worn in Ghost Whisperer!!! I don’t think it looks bridal at all apart from the colour it really just make me think fancy underwear.
So 17 year olds say stuff like that to each other all the time regardless of whether or not it’s true. I think you’re deliberately being vague and I’m not entirely sure what your relationship with your stepdaughter is like that you should be cancelling her parties? YTA
I think you need to sit and talk to him about it. It seems exploring different things in your sexual relationship is a relatively new thing for you both. Given you had never used a vibrator before maybe he thought it was just was going to be a thing you did together. Maybe knowing how it makes you feel when you use it together makes him feel inadequate. However NTA how you choose to treat and use your own body is up to you and there is nothing wrong with using a vibrator solo. Talk to him and find out why he’s so upset. Does he not masturbate without you? Would he be the same level upset if you had just got off using your fingers? Is it just that you were using something you discovered together?
It sounds like you just put a bouncy castle in a public park in an area where you had no control who was coming or going which makes me think you didn’t pay to hire part of the park as I would assume there would be some kind of defined area so that randoms couldn’t just join in. I think this one is maybe on you for not hiring somewhere which would have made it obvious it was a private party. The parents and kids probably had no idea.
Only one parent needs to fill out the passport form. However as you are named on the birth certificates she requires your permission to take them out country(Unless she has a court order which states the children must live with her) It’s usually just a letter with your information on and stating that you are happy for them to go. It’s very unfair that she thinks she can take them away but you can’t. You could take her to court to try and stop her from going but you would have to have a very good reason for a judge not to allow it. However she would be required to give you all the flight and hotel information. I would also make sure any order that given includes you being allowed to take them abroad
I post pictures of my kids all the time. I have friends and relatives I don’t see often in real life so it’s nice they get a chance to see the kids. Now they are older if I’m taking photos and they say “don’t post that on Facebook” then I won’t post it and sometimes they ask to approve the photo as they are older now and have their own social media accounts. I can understand where you are coming from though.
You are all kind of wrong here. It’s kind of funny that you keep pointing out this has been “going on for 10 years” which to me shows he loves her like she is his biological daughter and he’s always been there for her. He cares about her enough to take your fiancé to court to make sure he stays in her life. Your STB stepdaughter loves him because he loves her. He’s actively involved in her life and has built relationships with her friends and their parents. If anyone is the creep here it’s you!!! You won’t be going anywhere as I’m sure dad will be taking you and your fiancé straight back to court and as he’s been in her life “for 10 fucking years” so there is a well established routine. Why your fiancé hasn’t broken up with you yet I don’t know. If you really had any feelings of love or care towards either your fiancé or STB Stepdaughter you would be shaking the guys hand and saying “I think it’s amazing you have stepped up to be her dad. Maybe we should go for a beer and get to know each other as the other ‘dad’ I could do with some tips” but that’s just me!!!!
From reading this it sounds like you took it quite literally and didn’t do anything. Yeah I can understand mum wanting all the firsts but things like doing her hair wouldn’t have done any harm as it gets done every day anyway. With everything I would have just said “I think your mum wants to talk to you about that first why don’t we give her a call and then we can talk about it” or something like that. I’m torn between E S H but I’m going for a soft YTA because you are angry at a child for feeling like you did nothing for her when from what you’ve written is true.
NTA and this is a huge red flag. Your sister is 9 you don’t promise something like that then don’t follow through. If you are going to go through with the wedding then I would have Lily as part of your wedding party. You and your mum take her dress shopping for something that will fit in with your groomsmen so maybe like a black dress,if your wearing black suits,with a pastel coloured ribbon belt or something. What an awful thing for Amy to do to let your sister down like that.
NTA my eldest is nearly 20 never let him co sleep and he’s turned out perfectly fine. My other 2 are 15 and 10 and same. Never let them co sleep and so far so good. I need my space in my bed. Kids are too hot and have too wriggly.
I'm so confused by the size of the house to the left which I'm assuming is a block of flats - but it I keep looking at it like its a normal sized house and the one thats for sale looks tiny like a kids wendy house. Give it some balloons and it could be the house from Up!
Sometimes you have a completely normal pain reaction. There isn’t really anything you can do about it. Yeah you scared your child but he’ll survive. I would just wait till the morning then go over it with him about how he shouldn’t wave toys about or throw things and that you’re sorry you shouted and give him a fright and you know he didn’t mean to but he hurt you and that’s not ok.
I was fortunate enough to play the game professionally. I do a ton of coaching now, all I can tell you is that he has one of the hardest parts down. You have to love the game. All players progress at different levels. Just because a kid is good now, Doesn’t mean he will be when scholarships start getting handed out and just because your kid is a goober at 7 doesn’t mean he won’t be a goober getting a scholly his sr year. From there, it’s constant work. Take his glove off him and just toss him a tennis ball. Over and over and over and over again. Have him go everywhere with it. If you’re not available just Toss it to himself. Throw it on the ground and catch it in his hands. Throw it off the wall and field grounders. Constantly. Hand eye coordination. He’ll get it down. Then put the glove on him. Same thing with the swing. Get him in a stance with a good base. Make sure he knows not to life his back foot off the ground, rather to spin on it when his hips Are Coming through. Always have his eye on the ball. Try to hit the ball with his hands. And swing hard. Every time.
I know absolutely nothing about baseball but reading that it makes sense and sounds like great advice. Passion is most definitely one of the most important things in all sports.
Depending on where you usually live make sure you have AC. I’m from Scotland so not known for nice warm weather. First time we took kids away youngest was 7 months old and she really struggle with the heat at nighttime and was hard to settle because it was so warm and that was only wearing a onesie with a lightweight blanket. Travelling wise she was brilliant on the plane. Fell asleep before take off and woke up about 40 minutes before landing(only a 3 hour flight). If you have help from grandparents definitely go for it. You can maybe even manage a wee date night for you and hubby and leave baby with grandparents for a few hours.
I would sit down and talk to her about why she thought it was ok to go ahead and order the item when you said no?What is it about the item that she desperately wanted so much? Explain why it was not ok and how disappointed you are in her. As punishment I would take the iPad away for a week block Amazon on her device and change your password. Put on the ask to buy function so she doesn’t purchase things through Apple either. I would also make her do chores to repay the money regardless of whether or not you return the item and get your money back. Then once that’s done I would consider paying her small amounts for doing chores so she can earn her own money to buy things she’s wants and learns to save and how much things actually cost. Maybe if she is thinking about what she has to do to earn $20 she would think twice before doing it again should she get a chance.
Not locking bedroom doors is a fine rule to have if people knock before coming in. It’s your room you can sleep in whatever you want. Dad should 100% be knocking before coming in your room. Not wrong
So it’s not ok for you to choose your gf comfort in her own home over your son but it’s ok for your ex to ditch him to go out with a guy she’s only just met? Talk about double standards. NTA
Nothing a bit pink stuff can’t fix lol.
I bet they just have loads of jackets lol.
Imagine having to tell people you lived in Flying Horse Farm lol.
Yeah I think the dress is lovely but there is definitely something wrong in the boob area. Either you don’t have a well fitting bra or the way the dress is made is all wrong for your body type. It does fit the brief though.

If you had the money you do a lot with it. The grounds alone would be worth it though.

If she’s waking up at 4am whimpering in pain she needs the meds. Give her them. She’s not going to get addicted using them short term.
