1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: This is Cowboy Sam and this is Eh John.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 2: And we've last owed.

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: In some amazing stories for y'all the Okay Storytime podcasts.

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 3: But before that we got a wrangle, a quick little

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 3: two minute out break from those bucking sponsors.

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: We bucking love so much they paid us the bucks

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: to help this show stay alive. I congratulated my uncle's

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: ex wife on her remarriage. Now my family's furious. I mean,

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: what just about you just congratulating.

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 4: First things first, sorry for the spelling mistakes. English is

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 4: not my first language. And this is gonna be a

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 4: little long because it's a little messy. We like MESSI So,

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 4: my uncle Adam thirty eight and his ex wife, Bianca

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 4: thirty six got married twelve years ago. I'm twenty three now,

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 4: so I don't remember much because I was really young

16
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 4: back then. But what I remember is it was a

17
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 4: complete shock for us. We live eight hours away from them,

18
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 4: so we weren't really in on events. When I was young,

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 4: we used to visit my grandma for like ten days

20
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 4: and a year, and as far as I know, Adam

21
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 4: want a complete playboy.

22
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 4: By the way, this comes from Say Say Wait on

24
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 4: the Okay story times I've printed Adam always had girls

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 4: in his life.

26
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: I remember meeting countless girlfriends of his. I even remember

27
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: one that was really rich and wanted to marry him

28
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: and support him for all of his life. And another

29
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: one that is super sweet, but a single mom. Adam

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: broke up with her just because her kid called him

31
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: dad one time. Dang, I mean, low key. I mean

32
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: that's a pretty big responsibility. If I'm not ready to

33
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: be in that relationship like that and the kid starts

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: calling me dad and be like it's over, I'm so hard.

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: But I feel like.

36
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 4: You have to take a minute before you get into

37
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: relationship with a single mom and be like, am I true?

38
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 4: Or maybe just like be really mean to the kid. Okay, no,

39
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 4: don't do that, goud. It was a joke, so he

40
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 4: would fool around a lout. One day, Grandma called us

41
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 4: and let us know that he was getting married. We

42
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 4: were shocked, as far as I learned later on, Adam

43
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 4: and Bianca met in their workplace. Bianca was an accountant

44
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 4: and was a driver. She was actually engaged when they

45
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 4: first met, but when Adam heard this, he just said,

46
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 4: no problem, I can break them up.

47
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: Day Adam with the frick and he really managed to

48
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: do so. Adam how hot is Adam.

49
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: Gotta be really hot. But when Beyonca's family heard about this,

50
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 4: they were furious, and my grandpa was also furious, so

51
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 4: they demanded.

52
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: They get married.

53
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 4: My uncle resisted a little bit, but finally said yes,

54
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 4: even though it was never his intention to marry her.

55
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: When we first met Bianca, I loved her. She was funny, beautiful,

56
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: and she loved me. You should marry her. This was

57
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 4: pretty much enough for me because my father's side didn't

58
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 4: used to love me very much. That's sad do to

59
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 4: me being the second child and a girl. My grandma

60
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 4: loves boys and she thinks second children are unnecessary day

61
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 4: day grandma, so I felt like I had found my

62
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 4: ally in that side of the family. Finally, when they

63
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 4: were getting married, they moved to the apartment just under

64
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 4: my grandparents. It was also theirs, and they didn't want

65
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: to pay rent and thought this was a good decision.

66
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: Big mistake.

67
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 4: My grandma was horrific to Bianca because she thought she didn't.

68
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: Deserve her precious little boy.

69
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 4: And he could have done so much better than her.

70
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: The wedding was chaotic. Nobody helped them get settled, because

71
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 4: my grandma told everyone they did not want to get disturbed.

72
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: She had an opinion about everything in the wedding, et cetera, etcetera.

73
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: Oh God, shut up, grandma, go goodside, take a time out,

74
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: touch the grass, grandma.

75
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 4: Three months after the wedding, we learned Bianca is pregnant.

76
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: It was a little early for it, but anyways, ten

77
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: months later, my first cousin was born, a beautiful baby girl.

78
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 4: After this, my grandma was even more horrific because.

79
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: She hates girls. No, why does grandma hate girls?

80
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 4: Bianca later told me that she would never take care

81
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 4: of her, even when she does need to handle an

82
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: errand or something. She would always watch them from the

83
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 4: balcony because they live right below her, tracking everywhere they

84
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 4: go and every visitor.

85
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: They as lord of these children, as the matriarch of

86
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: the family, and I refuse to lift a finger. I

87
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: watched them fall in ice Nika to myself, dynasty's fall

88
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: at my hats. And then she thinks she's like Caesar.

89
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: She's up there just like with the thumb going. No,

90
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: I let you run into.

91
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 4: Traffic, try to eavesdrop from the floor, and more and more.

92
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 4: She even caught her trying to cast a religious spell

93
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 4: on them for them to break up.

94
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: Religious spells don't exist. That's called uh oh, it's a

95
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: witch's curse.

96
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 4: But whatever she tried to confront at him, he always

97
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 4: took his mama's side. This started to really get the

98
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 4: relationship on the edge. They started to fight a lot,

99
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 4: and Grandma started to call us and tell us about

100
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 4: it all the time. Another thing about Grandma, she always

101
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 4: thinks she's an angel sent from above. So she said

102
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: she never understands why they fight, and Bianca's just trying

103
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 4: to pick fights.

104
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: Excuse me, ma'am, you cast did a spell to break

105
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: them ball, that's you, spellcaster.

106
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: Years have passed like this and we were actually expecting

107
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 4: when they will divorce. But they have made the dumbest

108
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: decision I ever heard in my life. They did the

109
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: second child to save their marriage. A classic second child

110
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 4: to save your marriage.

111
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: Move classic. I We'll have another pass and will make

112
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: them fix it. It only made things worse.

113
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 4: My second cousin, Miranda, is also a girl, and just

114
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 4: after having Miranda in forty days, Beyonca's mother and father

115
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 4: passed away just.

116
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: Two weeks apart. That is so hard so she.

117
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 4: Was postpartum and lost both of her parents in a heartbeat.

118
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: This made everything worse and their fights became even worse.

119
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 4: When Miranda was three, they noticed she's on the autism spectrum.

120
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: This made everything harder, and Bianca told Adam if they

121
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 4: don't move out, they're getting a divorce because all this

122
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: time they're still living under the grandma, right, who hates girls.

123
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: And also it sounds like grandma did cast the spell

124
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: and the spell worked. Hello, yeah, you lost both of

125
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: your parents. Your grandma just cast it, an unliven spell

126
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: on your parents. Beyonca that you should get out of there.

127
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: Well you can't, uh, and that again witch, that's a witch,

128
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: an evil witch. So they did move out for six months.

129
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: Then they couldn't handle the rent, so they came back.

130
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 1: Later we learned that they actually got divorced on these days,

131
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: but continued to live together, and this actually made the

132
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: relationship a little better. On to the last It was

133
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: like a little bit better, just a little splash of divorce,

134
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: you can actually make the relationship flourished.

135
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 4: They got I didn't really understand that line. They got divorced,

136
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 4: and they were like, actually kind of help them.

137
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: Maybe they mean that they separated. Yeah, because horse is

138
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: a lot more final than that.

139
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 4: Later we learned that they actually got divorced on these days,

140
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 4: but continued to live together.

141
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't know.

142
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 4: On to the last year, Bianca and Adam had a

143
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 4: huge fight, played for shack. Children were afraid that kind

144
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 4: of fight. Bianca left home and rented herself a place.

145
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 4: She took Miranda with her, and my other cousin was

146
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: with Adam. But after eight months she returned.

147
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: What happened with the other girl, and she took Miranda.

148
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: She took Miranda, but not her other kid.

149
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, sorry, my other cousin, meaning her other daughter.

150
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: Oh yes, was with Adam. So they split the kids up. Yes,

151
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: And I don't know about that.

152
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: On this August I went to my grandma's place alone.

153
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 4: It was my dad's idea, but because I really couldn't

154
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 4: get along with my grandma, I spent most of my

155
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 4: time at Adam and Bianca's place. Let me tell you

156
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 4: it was horrible. You don't say, I can't imagine it

157
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: probably would be. They fought all the time. Bianca later

158
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 4: told me that Adam never helped her during this eight

159
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 4: months because moving out was her choice. With Miranda being

160
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 4: in the spectrum and having special needs, she couldn't afford

161
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: both Rent and her with her minimum wage job, so

162
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 4: she had to come back on the condition that they

163
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 4: cannot be anything more than friends anymore, but Adam constantly

164
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 4: tried to get back together. Bianca also showed me some

165
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 4: videos a friend of her scent of Adam dancing intimately

166
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: with a group of women from her workplace. She said

167
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: he cheated on her constantly and she doesn't want to

168
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: go back.

169
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: Don't go back. Yeah, but don't do that. Don't do it.

170
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: Also, for the time I was there, Adam was horrific.

171
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 4: One day, we went out to get a couple of

172
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 4: beers in a local pub and he was making remarks

173
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: like I can get whoever I want, but I just

174
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 4: don't want to, or point out to a couple and

175
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 4: say that guy's too good for her, she's probably keeping

176
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 4: him with spicy sleep. Or I could get any girl,

177
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 4: but there's no good women left over the age of

178
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 4: twenty five and is just too young for me.

179
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. Yeah, this guy sounds so cool.

180
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 4: He's like, I could get literally any woman I want,

181
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 4: but I don't want any of them.

182
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Honestly, every girl on the earth under the age

183
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: of twenty five has been ruined. But all the girls

184
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: over the age of twenty five are too old for me,

185
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: so so I can't do it for you. I'll tell

186
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: you that. I also made a joke the other day.

187
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: Everyone stood up and clapped. Everyone in the whole room clap,

188
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: and then they may be the king. They may meet

189
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: king of the room. And I turned it down.

190
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 4: I said, I don't want to be king because I'm

191
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 4: too humble to be the king. Apparently he was wasted.

192
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 4: They had a fight. He prepared her luggage and kicked

193
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 4: her out with Miranda at three m kicked his own

194
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 4: daughter out.

195
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: What a monster.

196
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: Bianca has no family in the city, so she went

197
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 4: and stayed at a friend's house for the night.

198
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: By the way, you can always stay with.

199
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: Us every weekday on YouTube, Facebook and TikTok. Just top

200
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 4: her profile and join us live. Do that and there

201
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 4: is a little bit left. But what are your thoughts

202
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 4: this sch This guy is clearly not good. No, he's

203
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 4: a horrible person, and he's actively been a horrible person

204
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: all of a peace life.

205
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: So I think that the move is like you gotta

206
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: you gotta leave. This guy gotta leave and you gotta

207
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: stay gone, which I think has already been done. But

208
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: now it's more like a trying to like make it

209
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: work in like a friend's only type. But like I think,

210
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: you just gotta get this guy out of your life

211
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: and have him like legally support you.

212
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 4: In another way, I get the child's support if you

213
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 4: can have presence.

214
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: Because he's just a nightmare. But there's a little bit left.

215
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 4: One week has passed and my mom told me that

216
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 4: Bianca is getting married tomorrow.

217
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: No, one week since he kicked her out.

218
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 4: I mean they were already divorced, but one week since

219
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 4: she got kicked out of her home.

220
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: Oh who was she married?

221
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 4: I was shocked, but learned after Adam kicked her out,

222
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 4: she returned to her hometown. A guy there wanted to

223
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 4: marry her even before she met Adam and was also

224
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 4: divorced and still wanted.

225
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: To marry her.

226
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 4: Oh WHOA She declined before, but after the latest events,

227
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 4: she told him fine, and they got married.

228
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: Bianca, girl, that's a rebound marriage. Bianca, you don't do that.

229
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: A rebound marriage. That's not that is not healthy. This

230
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: all happened a month ago and Bianca posted the photos

231
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: of the wedding on Insta. I DMed her and congratulated her. God,

232
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I think the most telling thing

233
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: is the way that she wrote that. She was like,

234
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: he was like, I still want to marry you, and

235
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: she was like, I guess, I mean, I'm fine.

236
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 4: You're here, You're the only one here. She was always

237
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 4: on my side, did very good things for me. So

238
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 4: I wished her a beautiful new start and told her

239
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 4: that I'm here if she needs me. Now, all my

240
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 4: family is furious with me. What apparently Adam is furious

241
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 4: with Bianca for getting married this quick.

242
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: I mean I would be kind of shocked. Yeah, I

243
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: mean you can be shocked, but hello, you don't get

244
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: to decide that anymore. Well, go dance with another group

245
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: of ladies.

246
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 4: Literally, and all of the family thinks everything is Bianca's fault,

247
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 4: and I'm betraying my uncle by congratulating her.

248
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: So am I the a whole Sorry.

249
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 4: I wasn't expecting it to be this long, even though

250
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: I summarized it many times.

251
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: And that's the end of that story. Why is your

252
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: faan like this is already so messed up?

253
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, like your uncle's behavior is just terrible, and your

254
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 4: family's seems to all be signing with him.

255
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, which I don't understand why. I don't care. I

256
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: don't think there's even any need to like choose sides

257
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: in this situation. It's just like, it is what it is.

258
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: You reached out to somebody just to say congratulations.

259
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 4: You know though, so this is like on Instagram, this

260
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: is not you know, they'd meet up for coffee. Opie

261
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 4: wasn't like I hate my uncle and I support you phrase.

262
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 4: It was just like dingratulations.

263
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. Why is your family so toxic? Your

264
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: family's crazy.

265
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 4: But that's the end of that story, so we'll see

266
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 4: you next time.

267
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: On the next one. I needed space to recover after

268
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: giving birth, but my family said I made them feel

269
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: not welcome.

270
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 4: Well, it's your birth, so they need to ghet over.

271
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: Sorry, I just pushed the baby out of myself. Give

272
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: me a break. I twenty four female, and my partner,

273
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: twenty four male, moved to another state after college, eight

274
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: hours away from my family. We are blessed enough to

275
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: both have great jobs that allowed us to purchase a

276
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: home and start a family. Blessings on blessings uh In

277
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: less In February, we found out we were having a baby.

278
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: By the way, this comes from user material exciting forty

279
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: four to sixty on the r slash Okay storytime subreddit.

280
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: So his family and my family were both so supportive

281
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: throughout the pregnancy, throwing us two baby showers and spending

282
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: time helping us get everything ready. We literally didn't have

283
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: to buy a single item in preparation for our baby's arrival,

284
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: so we are extremely blessed. That's great. Yeah, you could

285
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: say that again, that's great. Didn't even have to buy diapers. Yeah,

286
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: you just start like pitching. You're like, hey, guys, just whoever,

287
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: you know if we need some help, and everyone shows

288
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: up and gives you everything. Once it was time for

289
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: her to arrive this month, my family really wanted to

290
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: be here. My partner only got two weeks off of work,

291
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: so we really wanted to spend the time alone to

292
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: bond with the baby and figure out how to be

293
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: parents for the first time. But we didn't want to

294
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: take away the experience of our families having their first grandchild. Therefore,

295
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: we agreed to let my mom, his mom, and my

296
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: aunt stay for a week. My mom and his mom

297
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: slept in our house while my aunt stayed at my

298
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: partner's dad's house. My birth was not what I expected.

299
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: Ain't that the truth? It ever winds up how you expected.

300
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: It never quite does does. It never lives up to

301
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: the expectations. I was in labor from nine am Tuesday

302
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: to ten pm on Wednesday? Is it a quick thirty

303
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: six hour laborers? No big deal? Oh? Sorry, thirty seven hours. Well,

304
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: and that'll teach you guys to eat those apples. You

305
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't eating that apple. You shouldn't.

306
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 5: All you had to do was not eat the apple,

307
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 5: and apparently God would have let you have That is

308
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 5: the story. Just the butt eating the apple? Was the

309
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 5: eve have a painful.

310
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: Is a painful birth? Labor? Is he? Yep? Make an

311
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: apple away keeps the doctor away. Yeah, an apple a

312
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: day gives you massive amounts of pain. Yeah, apparently life

313
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: one apple thousands years ago gives every woman on the

314
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: planet labor. Oh man, yeah, don't believe. I don't believe that.

315
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, he just to be clear, to

316
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: be clear. That's that's Can you imagine if he was

317
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: that petty? Yeah? Or she let's have that discussion. God

318
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: is a woman, then she was the one who did

319
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: that to y'all, like, messye, messy. My epidural failed and

320
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: I felt everything. This is terrifying. Okay, expects me not

321
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: want to be pregnant. Yeah, I pushed for three hours

322
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: and I got second degree tears from my eight pound,

323
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: twelve ounce baby. Big babies not even that big. Yeah,

324
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: pump those numbers up. That's a small baby. I was

325
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: absolutely exhausted from screaming in pain for hours on end

326
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: and being stitched up with no pain meds. I couldn't

327
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: even do skin to skin right away because of how

328
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: exhausted I was, so my partner did it for me.

329
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm terrifying. Wow, yeah, that's I'm so sorry. I'm probably

330
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: the most brutal pregnancy like labor I've heard on this

331
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: store on the show for the commend you so much,

332
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: because to go through all of that is what a

333
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: what a yeah? Just what a thirty seven hours of

334
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: labor through a failed epidural makes you think. Once I

335
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: was more coherent, my partner asked if I wanted visitors.

336
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: I was not ready, so I asked him to let

337
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: everyone in the waiting room know that the baby was healthy.

338
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: But I wasn't ready for visitors until the next day. Valid. Yeah, hello,

339
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: thirty seven hours of labor. The next day, we had

340
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: visitors from morning until night. I was in so much

341
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: pain and exhausted, but still wanted everybody to be able

342
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: to meet the baby. I was discharged two days later

343
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: and came home to a clean house full of groceries

344
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: and meals. The next few days, my family stayed with

345
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: us and helped clean and cook. They held the baby,

346
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: and I tried to make sure everyone got equal time

347
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: holding her. Although I was stressed about having people stay

348
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: with us, I ended up appreciating having them there to

349
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: help with chores so we could focus on our baby. Yeah,

350
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: that's nice. Yes, that's what I should. I think if

351
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna come over after a baby's born, you can't.

352
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: It can't be for like, oh, I'm wanting to see

353
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: the baby, you know it. It's like I'm here to help. Yeah,

354
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm here to help, and then while I'm not helping,

355
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: I can see the baby. Yes, exactly, you're here to

356
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: do stuff. You're going to work. I had thirty seven

357
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: hours of labor. You can labor over a peanut butter

358
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: and jelly sand which, for God's sake, they'll catch at

359
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: My mom asked if she could come back in less

360
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: than a month, and I told her that it would

361
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: be too much. We were planning on going to visit

362
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: them in December anyway, for a weekend. Fast forward a

363
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: week they've traveled back, and I get a call from

364
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: my mom. She's sobbing, saying I made her feel unwelcomed

365
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: and that she feels like I don't want to have

366
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: a relationship with her. My relationship with my family has

367
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: been rocky in the past, and we've all been through

368
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: a lot, so that had some part in why she

369
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: felt that way. She said, my sister and my aunt

370
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: told her thing that made her think that way, and

371
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: I was a mess. I thought everything went great when

372
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: they were here, and I'm one week postpartum feeling extremely

373
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: guilty for making my mom feel that way. She said,

374
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: me not wanting her to come in November and only

375
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: wanting to stay a weekend in December made her think

376
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be around them. I mean, honestly,

377
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: I think there's just misumunigation. This is on here.

378
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 4: She feels I think secure and other people are whispering

379
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 4: in her ear and they're like, oh, your daughter doesn't

380
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 4: want you here, and she's like feeling that, and then

381
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 4: her daughter like, Ope, didn't want to come, and you know.

382
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: You just try shortened things one sentence. Yeah, thirty seven

383
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: hours of labor. Yeah, hello.

384
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 4: I literally think that Opie could just be yeah, say hey,

385
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 4: went through really hard labor. It's not that I don't

386
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 4: want to see you. I just need a second to

387
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: you know, I need some time to need practically.

388
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: Baby, I need approximately a month.

389
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 4: In an approximately a month. This has nothing to deal

390
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 4: with you, but I think I think totally could just

391
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 4: be miscommunication here.

392
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: I got off the phone and texted my sister and

393
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: aunt to stop telling my mom negative things that puts

394
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: me in an comfortable situation. This is when I found

395
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: out that everyone thinks they have to walk on eggshells

396
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: around me, and that I took away from their experience

397
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: with our baby.

398
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 4: You took away from their experience with your baby boy.

399
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: It's my baby girl.

400
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 4: They're like, your thirty seven hour labor really put a

401
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 4: dapper on things.

402
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll give you thirty seven hours to get over

403
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: it and then let us spend with your baby. Give

404
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: me your bamy. My aunt said that she waited in

405
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: the hospital for two days, and when she found out

406
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: I didn't want visitors the night I gave birth, she

407
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: was going to go hang out with my partner's family

408
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: and drink wine because she wasn't going to waste her

409
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: paid time off. Will you go, Auntie? Yeah, they all

410
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: making about themselves. Yeah, this is like I waited in

411
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: the I waited in a room with air conditioning, and

412
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: I was just sitting there for like, minding my own business,

413
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: my kindle literally earth shatteringly painful labor for thirty seven hours,

414
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: but it's my day, as I wanted to see the baby. Yeah,

415
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: I felt pretty inconvenienced by that. She also said she

416
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: felt unwelcomed when they were here, and she only stayed

417
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: to support my mom. Shut up, dude. I was so

418
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: confused because I thought the week went great. This also

419
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: made me extremely mad because I felt like everyone was

420
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: making me out to be the bad guy after going

421
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: through a traumatic birth. So I replied, quote, I'm sorry

422
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: if me being in labor for two days and pushing

423
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: for three hours with no pain meds ruined your pto

424
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: nice nice rubing their faces, slam dung or something along

425
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: those lines. Anyway, she didn't respond and hasn't spoken to

426
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: me since. My sister said they feel like I don't

427
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: put enough effort in to have a relationship with them

428
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: because I only want to come for a weekend and

429
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: haven't spent a lot of time with them since moving States.

430
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: So am I the a hole for being unwelcoming after

431
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: giving birth? No? No, obviously, you know what. We'll always

00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,399

437
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: about themselves. Whatever happened in the past with your family

438
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: situation clearly is influencing their sort of perspective on you,

439
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: because from everything we read, it sounded like you went

440
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: through uh yeah, a traumatic birth experience and still gritted

441
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: your teeth and was like, I will let these people

442
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: spend a week with us.

443
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then they're like, oh, well, we want more,

444
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 4: we want this birth to be fun for us, and

445
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 4: you're like, guys, I'm just trying to take a minute.

446
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: Why is it that when people do this about weddings

447
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: and babies. They try to make it about them. How

448
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: about you instead of the person having the wedding and

449
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: having the baby. Exactly get over yourself.

450
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 4: No, literally, like if you came out, Let's say you

451
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 4: came out, I don't know, you got time off of

452
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 4: work or something to go see your family member having

453
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 4: a baby, and then it turns out.

454
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: That you can't be in the room or something. Yeah,

455
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: you just gotta deal with that. Oh well, yeah, I'm

456
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: gonna go. I guess I'm just gonna go hang out

457
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: with these people because I'm not gonna waste my paid

458
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: time off. It's like, you idiot, you're getting paid for

459
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: time off. None of it's wasted. Stupid, so silly? What

460
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: so silly? I hope this story ends with the baby

461
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: developing superpowers and laser beaming all of these annoying family members.

462
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: So you try to make my mother feel bad? Oh

463
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: I would just venge. Yeah. I was thinking more of

464
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: like baby Jackjack from the Incredibles, where it's more just

465
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: like he's just got a lot of baby powers.

466
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh no, I was thinking of really super It's

467
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 4: like you want to spend time with the kid, baby, Sure,

468
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 4: spend time with the kid you're thinking of.

469
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: Like Dewey Griffin being like hmm, okay, So here's the update.

470
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: First off, I want to thank everyone so much for

471
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: your kind words and validation. I'm definitely a people pleaser,

472
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: so knowing that I wasn't in the wrong from a

473
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: large majority makes me feel better. We're still going to Christmas.

474
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: They spent eight hundred dollars on our flights, but I'm

475
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: going to go to a therapist to prepare to set

476
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 1: firmer boundaries and let them know how hurt I was

477
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: by them making everything about them. I'll update with how

478
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: that conversation went, which may be a while. My heart

479
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: is with all of the moms on here who have

480
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: gone through something similar. Mom guilt is so real, and

481
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: family dynamics are hard to navigate. So my love goes

482
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 1: out to all of you. And that is the end

483
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: of that story. Yeah.

484
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 4: My final advice is I think that you can have

485
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 4: a conversation with your mom and clear up some miscommunication

486
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 4: and you'll be chill with her.

487
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're aunt and your sister kind of suck.

488
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: My daughter excluded me from a college tour, so I'm

489
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: thinking of excluding her from something too like her tuition

490
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: or maybe the will Okay, I'll try to make a

491
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: long story short, but it may take a bit, so.

492
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,479
Speaker 2: Buckle up, just keep it long. It's fine.

493
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: I thirty eight female, found out when I was nineteen

494
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: that I was going to have a surprise blessing with

495
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: my boyfriend. We decided to do the right thing and

496
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: got married about four months before I gave birth to

497
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: a beautiful baby girl. Eighteen months later, I gave birth

498
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: to another gorgeous baby girl, and my husband and I

499
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: finally learned how to use contraceptives. Sarcasm ah. By the way,

500
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: this comes from user dependent two fifty to fifty nine

501
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: on the r slash. Okay, storytime, so I read it.

502
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 2: What's that contraceptims?

503
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: Contraceptoms?

504
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Is it never heard that word before?

505
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: Your little Willie jackets. Oh buddy, after this, I'm gonna

506
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: have the I'm gonna talk to you about the birds

507
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: and the bees. When the girls were about five slash

508
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: seven years old, their father and I separated and got

509
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: a divorce. It was not a very pretty split. We

510
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: are on better friendlier terms now. What made me feel

511
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: the worse about it is that I couldn't keep our

512
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: family together for my daughters, and it made me feel

513
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: guilty ever since. I moved us back to my hometown

514
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: and lived with my parents until I met my now

515
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: husband and we purchased our own home nice. I moved

516
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: back to my hometown because I have a lot of

517
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: family there who have been a great support for me

518
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: as a single mom, and I had a great childhood

519
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: growing up there, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, my parents, and

520
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: my sister, my only sibling, so the whole family squad

521
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: is there in the hometown. My sister has never been married,

522
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: she is the smart one and has no children of

523
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: her own. Ever since the girls were born, she has

524
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: been a great and loving aunt, and I have always

525
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: encouraged her as a mom like figure in their lives,

526
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: even getting her cards, gifts, and celebrating her on Mother's Day.

527
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: As a single parent, moving back home and essentially starting

528
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: everything in my life all over, I worked a lot.

529
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: I started working in retail until I was able to

530
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: get a job with a great company, and I worked

531
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: my way up to the top level of management, working

532
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: directly under the owner, making big moves op. It has

533
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: been long hours and even having to do some work

534
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: at home, like taking calls and sending emails. I have

535
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: never been a perfect mother. I've missed some things. I

536
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: was unable to get some things done for them, but

537
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: I always did what I could to fix it or

538
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: make it up to them. My daughters were my drive,

539
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: my motivation to work harder, to be able to give

540
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: them more and that they wouldn't want for anything. I

541
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: started putting money away as soon as I could for

542
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: their college fund, and I recently took on a second

543
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: job so I can add more to their accounts. I

544
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: just don't want my girls to have debt and to

545
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: be able to study and learn whatever they want and

546
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: find their career that they're going to be happy with.

547
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: And they have been my whole world. I signed up

548
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: to be involved with anything I could, volunteering to help

549
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 1: work fundraisers with them, being a substitute coach when they

550
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: needed one, to go to games for volleyball or cheer,

551
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: taking them to fun events at the library their school,

552
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: going to at least one MLB game per year, and

553
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: seeing at least one family Broadway show in the city

554
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: around the holidays.

555
00:26:59,200 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

556
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, it sounds like you're really trying to, you know,

557
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: make some memories with the girls.

558
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: That was a great childhood to be short.

559
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: My time was devoted to them, and if it was

560
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: something I couldn't take my daughters with me or that

561
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,479
Speaker 1: they would enjoy, I wouldn't go to or do it.

562
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: Fast forward to more recent times. My now husband and

563
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: I got our house together in twenty twenty one and

564
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: we lived there with my daughters until last year when

565
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: my daughter got a job and took some college credit

566
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: classes that it made more sense for them to move

567
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: back in with my parents. We're twenty minutes away. I

568
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: don't see them daily like I used to, but I

569
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: talked to them daily. I communicate and try to stay

570
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: involved with everything. My oldest daughter is eighteen, and ever

571
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: since she was about fifteen, she has had the itch

572
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: to be independent. I mean they all do, right, Yeah,

573
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 1: we all get the itch when we become teenagers and

574
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: high schoolers. We want that independence. I encourage both her

575
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: and her sister to put some fiscal responsibility on what

576
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: they want, just to help them understand the value of

577
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: a dollar and take care of things they helped purchase.

578
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: For example, we got them cell phones when they were

579
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: ten or eleven but flip phones, and I would not

580
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: get them smartphones until they could pay for half of it.

581
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: Nice.

582
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: That's a good life to parenting, very good. I have

583
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: to work for stuff what we did the same thing

584
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: for their first car and other large purchases. My oldest

585
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: got her first and current job at a pharmacy when

586
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: she was two weeks away from turning sixteen. Well that's early, dang. Well,

587
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: I guess it's not that early, but it's the beginning

588
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: of when you'd get employment.

589
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 3: I started working at sawmon when I was seven years old.

590
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, half that age. Don't don't don't rat on them,

591
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: you're breaking labor laws.

592
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: No, this was on the weekend because of firewood, he said.

593
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: No, I volunteered to do all that work.

594
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 2: Well, I started working out the axle sawmill at sixteen.

595
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wink, wink, nod nod, yeah, yeah yeah. Over the summer,

596
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: she studied hard and passed her pharmacy text certification. She

597
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: is that driven, always having a's on a report card,

598
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: not accepting anything but the best from herself, et cetera.

599
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: I've always questioned myself if I was pushing her to

600
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: feel like I was expecting affection from her, but from

601
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: multiple conversations with her, she assured me that her drive

602
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: for perfection is just who she is and not me

603
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: pushing her to be so. One thing me and my husband,

604
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: her dad, and even my sister have noticed about my

605
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: oldest over the past couple of years is that she's

606
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: developed a tendency to only reach out to us when

607
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: she wants something.

608
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,239
Speaker 2: I did that.

609
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: Everybody does that college. Oh.

610
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: I definitely did that when my parents before I went

611
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: to college.

612
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: Everybody does that when they reach a certain age. The

613
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: only thing you want to talk to your parents about

614
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, it's cool, can you can you pay

615
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: for my gas? Please? Can you pay this?

616
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: That you don't realize how important they are and how

617
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: much you want a relationship with them until after you

618
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 3: leave home.

619
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean that's when I realized it's the vast majority

620
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: of people I would say yes.

621
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

622
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: It started after she began dating her boyfriend back when

623
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: she was fifteen. And to provide context, I don't feel

624
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: her boyfriend is the cause of this change exactly. He's

625
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: always been willing to do anything with our family, always

626
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,719
Speaker 1: kind and respectful to her and to us. I've come

627
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: to ca care about him. I have come to care

628
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: about him as what I call some of her friends,

629
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: as one of my part time kids now. I went

630
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: to a university near where we used to live when

631
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: her dad and I were married, where he still lives.

632
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: I have always talked about my alma mater with the

633
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: girls when we talked about going to college and if

634
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: they ever wanted to go look around. As they got

635
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: older to let me know. We had a junior high

636
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: track meet there, and after the event was over, I

637
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: took them around the grounds and buildings and just talked

638
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: about how great the school was, singing all its praises,

639
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: et cetera. I even periodically took the girls with me

640
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: when they were little to a class because their sitter

641
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: couldn't watch them. So there is a little sentimental history

642
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: there for us as well. I also need to add

643
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: my sister went to the same university, so there's a

644
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: little bit of history, a little bit of family history

645
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: at the university. My oldest daughter is now eighteen and

646
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: a senior. A requirement from her school is she has

647
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: to do a couple of campus tours during her senior year.

648
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: Last month, she told me that she's scheduled to do

649
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: a tour of my alma mater this Friday, all right.

650
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: I got so excited and I told her I would

651
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: take time off of work to go with her, and

652
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: I would love to look around with her, et cetera,

653
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: et cetera.

654
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 3: Dude, this is such a great chance to bond with

655
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 3: your daughter about memories you had and then like it

656
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 3: would be so fun to do that.

657
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I sure hope the title of the story doesn't

658
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: get in the way of all that. She then says

659
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: she's only allowed one person to go with her on

660
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: the tour, and she asked her boyfriend to go with her. Boo,

661
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: come on, just spend some time with her mom. But honestly,

662
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: she's hyped about it.

663
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: I understand the boyfriend, you know, important person in someone's life.

664
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 3: They went there, that's they're all the mater.

665
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: He didn't even go there. She's an alumni.

666
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: Come on, don't you want to go whenever you're touring,

667
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 3: to go to whatever you're touring. Wouldn't you like to

668
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 3: know all the ins and outs, not just from the

669
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 3: tour and all the fun stuff, all the all the

670
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 3: secret spots, all the best taco places. Yes, not like

671
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 3: this is dorm room, this is office, This is classroom.

672
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: I was a little disappointed at first, but I understood

673
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: she's very close to him and it makes sense for

674
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: him to go if he is also considering going to

675
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: the school. I asked if I could just be there

676
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: and hang around campus with them after their tour. She

677
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: said sure, and I requested the day off over this

678
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: past weekend. I made a comment about how we need

679
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: to talk about a game plan for this Friday, and

680
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: she made a comment of Mom, you can't be on

681
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: the tour with me. I mean, you could set up

682
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: your own terror appointment, but I'm only allowed to.

683
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 3: You said one earlier, you said.

684
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: I think she said she's only allowed two tours. Hmmm,

685
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: went right. Alumni, Oh you're an alumni. Great, Yeah, come on.

686
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: I feel like this really wouldn't be that big of

687
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: a deal. If she was just like, can my mom

688
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: also come, they'd be like, oh, yeah, sure, we don't care. Yeah,

689
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: It's like there's no This is like one of those

690
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 1: fake rules that doesn't really exist.

691
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 2: Also, like going with your boyfriend's kind of name.

692
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean, not if they're like trying to go to

693
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: the same school.

694
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

695
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: True, but you can schedule appointment. You know, you might

696
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: not want to staying with your boyfriend after you realized

697
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: that there's seven billion people out there that didn't go

698
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: to your high school, Like just low key okay. I

699
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: thought it could only be her and her boyfriend. I

700
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: kept saying that, well, we can just walk around campus

701
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: after your tour, like we did the last time we

702
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: talked about this trip, but she just seemed so annoyed

703
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: that I was trying to go. Last night, I was

704
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: with my mother and sister at our book club when

705
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: my daughter came by to get my signature on a

706
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: form from me. I noticed that she had some form

707
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: and parking passes for my alma mater, and she handed

708
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: my sister similar forms. My gut was like, okay, her

709
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: aunt got a tour set up with the school. Weird

710
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: that neither one mentioned that to me. But then I

711
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: realized her aunt was going on the tour with her

712
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: and her boyfriend allowed to. That's the second Oh, so

713
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: the aunt's going instead of mom. Oh no, the cool

714
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: aunt took your spot. So I asked her straight up,

715
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: So that thing you just handed your aunt is that

716
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: for going on the tour with you? Friday, my daughter

717
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: tried to make a little joke about it we do

718
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: use humor a lot in our family and basically said yes.

719
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: I clearly got aggravated, but I only said in response,

720
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: I will see you on Friday. I saw red. We

721
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: all parted ways, and I wanted to cool off before

722
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: I said anything more about it. When I am mad,

723
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: I need to cool off before I talk about it,

724
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: or I get very mean and hurtful. It's something I

725
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: have been trying to get better at. So I finally

726
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 1: sent my daughter a text because I just knew if

727
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: I talked, I would go off. I told her. I

728
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: was owed an explanation as to why she made me

729
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: believe I couldn't go on the tour with her, and

730
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: why she thought I wouldn't find out her aunt went

731
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: with her. Did her aunt even know I wanted to go,

732
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: or about the deceit. She replied that she just wanted

733
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: to spend time with her aunt, that she initially misunderstood

734
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: what the tour limits were about how many guests she

735
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: could have with her. I'm still not sure if that's

736
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: exactly the truth, and that her aunt explained in conversation

737
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: with her that she could have two other people with

738
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: her on the tour and she just really wanted her

739
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: aunt to go. I was just hurt so right here.

740
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 3: I remember whenever I was going to college, I was

741
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 3: button heads so hard with my mom. Oh yeah, like

742
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 3: me and her. That was probably like the worst part

743
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 3: of our relationship. There's been like two bad parts with

744
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 3: my mom and I's relationship. That one was like one

745
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 3: of the bad ones.

746
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: Like that she wanted to go somewhere else and she no, we.

747
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 3: Agreed on that, but just like going up, I was

748
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 3: ready to leave the house and we were just button

749
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 3: heads with everything. Also clocking the humor thing, I think

750
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 3: that ope, like she'll probably like say something in a

751
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 3: humor like clean your room, oh, clean your dirty like

752
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 3: clean your dirty room, you rascal, but like in a

753
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 3: mean way. And she did say that she gets mean

754
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 3: at times when like it's a part of confrontation. So

755
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 3: I think that, Ope, that your child here is just

756
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 3: kind of like ready to leave, and she's she just

757
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,479
Speaker 3: sees you as like.

758
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to be around her. I'm ready to leave.

759
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 3: This is just annoying because that's how I felt, and

760
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 3: I have seen people families were like they use humor

761
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 3: to like kind of get at one another. Yeah, dude,

762
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 3: it gets so toxic, so quick, because there's no humor

763
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 3: in it. It's just like in a laughing manner, but

764
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 3: it's just like a jab yeah.

765
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: And then everyone's like, oh, okay, so how do I

766
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: How am I supposed to feel about that?

767
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 3: I think or ope, I'm sorry if this like horror

768
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 3: is hard and I probably don't know you. There might

769
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 3: be some layers you need to figure out with your

770
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 3: communication skills, because it seems like your daughter is not

771
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 3: really receiving that, and that's why there's a disconnect between

772
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 3: you two.

773
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: Very nice, very deep, thank you. Her aunt and I

774
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: work at the same company, and I got a little curious.

775
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: I looked at when I requested Friday off versus when

776
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: her aunt requested it off. I requested it off immediately

777
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: after my daughter and I talked about the tour on

778
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: October twenty fifth. My sister requested it off November twelfth.

779
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: I pointed that out to my daughter. She again explained

780
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: her misunderstanding of the guest limit and she wanted her

781
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: aunt to go. I asked her why she didn't tell

782
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: me anything about it. Though I've always been approachable and

783
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: they know they can talk to me about anything, and

784
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: they have low key though, Well, maybe this is just

785
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: how you're getting about this one context of like the

786
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: college trip. But I feel like if this is like

787
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: how meticulous you're kind of looking into this situation, that

788
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: might cue us into as to why she didn't want you.

789
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 3: To, because let's look at other situations, how did you

790
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 3: handle those and how did your daughter feel after you

791
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 3: handle them that way?

792
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: And it really could be just as simple as like,

793
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: we're wrong about both of those things, and it's just

794
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: an eighteen year old who wants to feel independence, yeah,

795
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: and would feel like going on a college tour with

796
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: my mom, Yeah, would not make me feel very independent.

797
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: So it could just be that it really could just

798
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: be her being eighteen. They told me the first time

799
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: that they tried booze or experimented with substances, and I

800
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: never once even got upset or even punished them my

801
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: stance and my daughters have always known this. Teenagers are

802
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: going to feel tempted to try that stuff no matter

803
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: what I say or do, and I taught them what

804
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: would happen if they try that stuff. But I want

805
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: them to always come to me if they are in

806
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: a situation of being too wasted to drive or not

807
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: having a sober driver available, or whatever it might be.

808
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: And I would never get upset with them. I would

809
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: rather know and be involved and encourage them to contact

810
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: me instead of making bad decisions in order to avoid

811
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: getting into trouble. And it's worked really well. They've told

812
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: me about every time they were ever offered or tried something,

813
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: and I would ask some questions, we would talk about it,

814
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: and they came to the conclusions on their own to

815
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: avoid doing that stuff again because of how they felt afterwards.

816
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: I feel like hangovers are the best teachers of why

817
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: it's a bad idea to get wasted. So it just

818
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 1: perplexed me that she didn't feel like talking to me

819
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: about this whole mess. I felt so cut out of

820
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: her life. Since then, she knew that I really wanted

821
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: to go, but she didn't feel that she could talk

822
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: to me about what she wanted, especially how her whole life.

823
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: I've worked, I've given and tried to be there for

824
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: her and her sister. I told her that she is

825
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: not going to cancel on her boyfriend or her aunt

826
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: for this tour because it is what it is, and

827
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: I don't want her disappointing them. But it'll never disappoint us.

828
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: When you join us when we go live every weekday

829
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: at three pm PST on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch, just

830
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: tap our profile tivity tap tap. We're probably live right now.

831
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: You might want to go check anyway. So, I mean,

832
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: where are we at?

833
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 2: I think he feels the portrayed.

834
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: Oh, p's got feelings, and feelings are sometimes feelings are messy.

835
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: It's like, this is your alma mater. A lot of

836
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: stuff is mixed up about it, about how you feel

837
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: about it. I don't think your daughter really fully understands

838
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: how important this clearly was to you. Yeah, you know,

839
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: it was like, oh my mom's just being a dork

840
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: about you know, like the alma mater. But it's like

841
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 1: it really sounds like it was kind of a super

842
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: meaningful thing to you. I don't think she ever understood.

843
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 3: I don't think she will until after she's out to

844
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 3: college to understand that. Because when you're that close to

845
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 3: your family and you want, you were striving, you were

846
00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 3: begging for that independence.

847
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean from everything that was described about the daughter,

848
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: like the oldest daughter, how she was, you know, she'd

849
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: been wanting to feel that independence for like three years.

850
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: Jesus already dating her boyfriend, which you know that'll do

851
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: it to you. But a part of me thinks even

852
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: if she did know how important this was to Opie,

853
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: she probably still wouldn't have want her to go.

854
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 2: No, it's that independence borough.

855
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: She wants to taste that sweet, juicy independence.

856
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 3: Did I remember the first night I got to college,

857
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 3: I went to cook out and I was like, I

858
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 3: don't need to tell anyone wanting to get it back.

859
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 3: This is amazing. I love this.

860
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 2: Freedom.

861
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: I could do whatever I want now, amazing. All right,

862
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 1: let's see how this ends. My frustrated and hurt nature

863
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: wants to go do something she wanted to do with

864
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: me without her. Oh, don't get petty, mom, Come on,

865
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: don't get petty. Go to the local Christmas market with

866
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: my husband and her sister without her, or do some

867
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: holiday shopping with the ladies of the family but without her.

868
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: Just paint a picture of what cutting me out of

869
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,919
Speaker 1: her life is really like. Okay, but I am her mom.

870
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: I want to be there for her. I will always

871
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 1: be here for her, and I don't want her to

872
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 1: ever feel like I'm not here for her. But would

873
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: I be the a hole if I did one of

874
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: those things without her, just to put it bluntly, to

875
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: show her how it feels. Yeah, you would be the

876
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: a hole because that's not putting it bluntly. That's putting it, like,

877
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, discreetly, by excluding her from a family event

878
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: and using that as a pretext to what teacher a lesson. Yeah,

879
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 1: you're not actually explicitly teaching her, do you. I don't

880
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: even think you just want to be petty? I can

881
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: tell Yeah, yeah, I think you're not putting spiraling.

882
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 3: Just take a moment, take take a breath, and you'll

883
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 3: be good to go.

884
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, your daughter's growing up. You got to reckon with it. Yep, sucks,

885
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: but hey, maybe you can have this experience with your

886
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: younger daughter. Yeah.

887
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean you're.

888
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: At some point you're gonna spend time with her on campus.

889
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be during the tour. Yeah. Right,

890
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna see her at some point.

891
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, give her some time.

892
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: She'll probably start missing it.

893
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 3: Daughter might go low contact. If if this isn't like

894
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 3: I think there's just a there's an issue between you

895
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 3: and your daughter's communication. Yeah, and I would go to

896
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 3: therapy to figure that out. Yeah, Cynthian.

897
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: That is the end of that story. Hey, it's John

898
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 1: you og host here. We're gonna get back to the stories.

899
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: But here's a quick three minute break of ass from

900
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: our sponsors.

901
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 4: My pregnant sister in law is afraid I'll steal the

902
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 4: spotlight from her.

903
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 1: Now she's treating me like absolute garbage. You can't steal

904
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: my spot I know if you're in the dumbst My boyfriend.

905
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,760
Speaker 4: Male thirty and I female twenty five had just gotten

906
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 4: married in May of this year after being together for

907
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 4: five years. Dying for context, My now husband's family has

908
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 4: an interesting history and dynamic. I describe them as very

909
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 4: multicultural and diverse. By the way, this comes from CB

910
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 4: fifteen seventy on the Okay storytime Separate It. My father

911
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 4: in law is black slash Arab mixed and my mother

912
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 4: in law is white slash Persian mixed. As a result,

913
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 4: their extended families are spread around the world. My husband

914
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 4: has three more siblings, an elder brother and two younger brothers.

915
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if this is important, but I'm Asian.

916
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 4: So my husband was studying in my home country, which

917
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 4: is how we met. He has also lived and worked

918
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 4: in my country for the past four years. It's safe

919
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 4: to say he's made his permanent home here. Because of

920
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 4: the dynamics of his family, I rarely get to meet

921
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 4: them because they all live in different countries. During our

922
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 4: five year relationship, I barely met his parents two to

923
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 4: three times and never met his older brother and his wife.

924
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 4: That is, I mean, I guess that makes sense if

925
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 4: they're all in different countries.

926
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're that spread out that it's like it's

927
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: going to be difficult.

928
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 4: On the other hand, I see his younger brothers frequently

929
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 4: because they are currently studying in my native country, and

930
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 4: we're really close.

931
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: That's lovely.

932
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 4: Fast forward to May of this year, when my now

933
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 4: husband and I chose to get married in my home country.

934
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 4: All of his family flew here to attend the wedding,

935
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 4: and I met my husband's older brother and his.

936
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: Wife for the first time.

937
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 4: The first awkward incident with my son mister in law

938
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 4: occurred when I went to the airport with my husband

939
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 4: to pick her and my brother in law up a

940
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 4: few days before our wedding. When we first met, I

941
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 4: extended my hand for handshake, expecting a full strong handshake

942
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 4: to my sister in law and she literally just used

943
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 4: the tip of her fingers to touch my hands.

944
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's like, oh, oh, that's so sweet of you. Thanks. Oh.

945
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how to describe it, but it's like

946
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: when you don't really want to touch someone's hand during

947
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: a handshake. Oh, I can describe it right now. It's

948
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: like if the queen was like trying to shake a

949
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 1: peasant's hand and she goes ugh.

950
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 4: Following that, she walked right past me and hugged my

951
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 4: husband on the other sand. On the other side, my

952
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 4: brother in law is really welcoming and thrilled to finally

953
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 4: meet me. He hugged me and said, it's great to

954
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 4: finally meet you. His warmth made me forget about my

955
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 4: sister in law's rudeness and we moved on. In the

956
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 4: days leading up to the wedding, my sister in law

957
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 4: meets subtle remarks about the wedding, criticizing every element we choose,

958
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 4: from the flowers to my wedding dress. For everyone's information.

959
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 4: I come from a financially secure family that owns a business.

960
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 4: My parents supported half of the wedding costs, while the

961
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 4: other half was covered by myself and my husband. My

962
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 4: husband is a doctor and I work as an engineer.

963
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 4: One thing that frustrates me is how my sister in

964
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 4: law keeps telling me how fortunate I am to have

965
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 4: a wealthy family to mooch off from. And I'm sure,

966
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 4: and I'm surely throwing a lot of tantrums at my parents,

967
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 4: given how enormous and luxurious the wedding is. That's such

968
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 4: a weird thing to say, Like, isn't it nice that

969
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 4: you get to mooch off all their money?

970
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that's like the most backhand. That's even a compliment.

971
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: You're insulting. That's just straight up insult And then you're like,

972
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: and you must be throwing so many tantrums to be

973
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,919
Speaker 1: getting this big, you know, this expensive wedding.

974
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 4: But it's always so subtle that it wouldn't start a fight,

975
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 4: but enough to make me uncomfortable. For background, my brother

976
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 4: in law and sister in law are also both financially

977
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 4: well off. My husband's family was similarly financially comfortable to

978
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 4: begin with. My brother in law is an accountant, and

979
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 4: my sister in law occupies a management position in a company.

980
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 4: She is also a lifestyle influencer with quite a large

981
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 4: following on Instagram and they live in Dubai. You know

982
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 4: how expensive?

983
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: Oh, she's living in Dubai, rich throwing shots at you

984
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: about your rich family in Dubai. That's crazy.

985
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 4: Fast forward to September of this year, my husband and

986
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 4: I received an invitation from my brother in law and

987
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 4: sister in law for a gender reveal party and baby

988
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 4: shower in October, which occurred a few days ago. We

989
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 4: were ecstatic and decided to book our flights to Dubai

990
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 4: immediately after receiving the invitation. For your information, there will

991
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,439
Speaker 4: be two separate offense a gender reveal party for brother

992
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 4: in law, sister in law and their respective families acquaintances,

993
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 4: and a baby shower for my sister in law and

994
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 4: her female family members an acquaintance and acquaintances the following day. Okay,

995
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 4: so there's the gender reveal party for the whole family

996
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 4: and then the baby shower just for sister in law

997
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 4: and the family, the female friends and family members. I

998
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 4: was invited to both parties, and I was supposed to

999
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 4: attend the baby shower without my husband, which I believe

1000
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 4: was a nice opportunity to bond with my sister in law.

1001
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 4: One would think But then my sister in law contacted

1002
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 4: my husband one day before the gender reveal party and

1003
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 4: informed him that I was not invited.

1004
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: To the baby shower. How are you going to uninvite

1005
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 1: someone the day before because you're petty? Because you're so petty?

1006
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: This is crazy? Way what is it with sister? Like

1007
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: sometimes the sisters just like hate the bride. I don't

1008
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: get it, Like, yeah, like would you hate? Like what

1009
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: has has Sam ever had like a girlfriend that you

1010
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 1: just like hated?

1011
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 4: No, But I also don't really like There's not a

1012
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 4: lot of people that I like hate to the point

1013
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 4: where I would like actively fair enough.

1014
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: You know, you're not hate person. You're just a Harvard

1015
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: medical just a Harvard I'm a Harvard girl. For all

1016
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: the people listening, we're saying a joke because Sophia is

1017
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: wearing a Harvard Harvard School sweater, which is one of

1018
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: several different Ivy League institution sweaters that she has. What

1019
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: can I say, I've lived a long life.

1020
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 4: The reason is that she does not want me to

1021
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 4: draw attention away from her during the events. My husband

1022
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 4: and I were plainly perplexed as to how and why

1023
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 4: I would be diverting attention away from her, and her

1024
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 4: reason is that no one knows or has ever met me,

1025
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 4: so they will ask, and she does not want to spend.

1026
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: Time explaining who I am to her guests. She's like,

1027
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: she noody knows you, So why is she going to

1028
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: steal my spotlight?

1029
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 3: Oh?

1030
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: Because she exists? How am I supposed to explain that

1031
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: to everybody? I have to introduce her? No?

1032
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,760
Speaker 4: No, I'm only I'm only being like the only people

1033
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 4: invited are like, they have to know each other.

1034
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: Everyone has to know each other, have to know me

1035
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 1: and no one else.

1036
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 4: No, it seems like she's saying they all they also

1037
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 4: have to know everyone else at the party.

1038
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, I was, so I was on opposite. You're

1039
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: on the opposite, I think, Yeah, Well that's because it's

1040
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: just a ridiculous thing.

1041
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous because my husband and I do not want

1042
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 4: to cause unnecessary drama. We just agreed that I will

1043
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 4: only attend the gender reveal party with him. On the

1044
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 4: day of the gender reveal party, I went with my

1045
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 4: husband and my sister in law did not speak with

1046
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 4: me at all or even recognize my presence.

1047
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: That's a very that what a what an emotionally mature,

1048
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: classy move.

1049
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 4: She sounds like a nightmare. I tried to make small

1050
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 4: chat to congratulate her, but she just blew me off

1051
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 4: every time. My brother in law, on the other end,

1052
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 4: is as friendly as effort.

1053
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: Thankfully. Why is he married to this woman? I don't know?

1054
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: Is maybe she's really hot. Maybe she's really hot. When

1055
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: the party appeared to be the that's always are operating,

1056
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 1: it's like, why are they with this terrible person? Oh?

1057
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: Oh they're hot, they're probably really hot hot.

1058
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 4: When the party appeared to be coming to an end,

1059
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,280
Speaker 4: I went out to the car to get the gift

1060
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 4: I had purchased, apparently for the baby shower, but because

1061
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 4: I would not be attending the baby shower the next day,

1062
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 4: I decided to give it to her that day. During

1063
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 4: that time, the guests began to leave, and when I

1064
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 4: handed her to the gift, she screamed at me loudly.

1065
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 4: The first thing she said was don't you have matters?

1066
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 4: What I was clearly taken aback and bewildered. She then

1067
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 4: accused me of attempting to assert dominance by flaunting my

1068
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 4: flaunting my wealth and rubbing it in her face, as

1069
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 4: well as looking down at her projection.

1070
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: You'rel you live in Dubai. You live in Dubai. You

1071
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 1: live in the city that's like, hey, richest city, and

1072
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: you have money. You have to if you live here,

1073
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: you have you either have money here or we take

1074
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: your documents and we turn you into an indentured servant

1075
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: and you have to live here for years and through

1076
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: free labor. That's by the way. Oh man, don't don't

1077
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: mess around. If you go to Dubai, have money, don't

1078
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: mess around, follow their rules.

1079
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 6: They will take your paperwork. Oh my god, they straight

1080
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 6: up will. So be careful for those who are curious

1081
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 6: about the present I bought. I purchased a baby blanket

1082
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 6: and sleeping bag from dere and the present they have

1083
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 6: baby blank they have deor baby blankets.

1084
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, actually, come on, that's actually kind of crazy.

1085
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,720
Speaker 1: Red Dash don't do that. And that is gross actually,

1086
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: and the present is in the door shopping bag. Don't

1087
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 1: buy your baby's designer stuff. People, Why are we buying babies?

1088
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: They're bay it's bab I's a baby. That's a baby.

1089
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 4: I felt humiliated after being screamed at, and my blood

1090
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 4: was boiling at the time. I mean, I get to

1091
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 4: be fair like or to be clear, crazy reaction on

1092
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 4: the sister and the lost part, but also crazy present.

1093
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 4: I yelled back in rage, asking her what I did

1094
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 4: wrong to deserve to be treated so disrespectfully by her.

1095
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 4: I said that her insecurities were not my responsibility, and

1096
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 4: that if she despised me that much, she should not

1097
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 4: have invited me in the first place.

1098
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 1: That's true, not wrong.

1099
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 4: She appears stunned by my words and begins crying. Both

1100
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 4: my husband and brother in law rushed towards us to

1101
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 4: calmed out. My husband suggested that we leave, as well,

1102
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 4: as some guests had already begun to leave. It happened

1103
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 4: three days ago, and since then everything has been quiet.

1104
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 4: Nobody said anything, And now I feel horrible for yelling

1105
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 4: at a pregnant woman.

1106
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: And there is an update. Oh, could it be just hormones? Hormones?

1107
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't like, that's just crazy amount. It can't be

1108
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: all of these.

1109
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 4: There's ought to be some other thing that she feels

1110
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 4: offended by because she never talked.

1111
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: Ope, I don't know. I'm gonna say, it's like a

1112
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,760
Speaker 1: weird thing with your brother. Yeah, it's like you're taking

1113
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: our brother or you took him a whoa, oh, or

1114
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 1: you took this is her because she's married. So it's

1115
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: the brother in law and sister.

1116
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 3: No.

1117
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: No, I'm saying that the sister in law is mad

1118
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: at ope are taking No, but that's not her brother.

1119
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: It's her husband's brother. To my knowledge, dang. And I

1120
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: have no idea what did this person do? Crazy? Not

1121
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: a clue, not a clue. The way to go about this,

1122
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is it's like if you're you know,

1123
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: if you never see these people and you're just out

1124
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: there visiting them, and it's like you're already planning on

1125
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 1: getting married to your you know, your boyfriend. You guys

1126
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 1: are getting more serious, like just do what you can to, Like,

1127
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: you gotta be the grease in the situation. You got to.

1128
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: You gotta be the one who goes high. You got

1129
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: they're going she's going low. You gotta gotta go hi

1130
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 1: for your own life, own well being.

1131
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 4: But there is an update. It has been a month

1132
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 4: since my last post, and now I have the opportunity

1133
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,839
Speaker 4: to provide an update. Finally, first and foremost, I would

1134
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,320
Speaker 4: like to thank everyone who commented and supported me in

1135
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 4: my previous post, and I apologize for not being able

1136
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 4: to respond to each and every one of you. By

1137
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 4: the way, my husband and I have returned safely to

1138
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 4: our home. After a few days of silence following what

1139
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 4: happened at the gender reveal party, I eventually sat down

1140
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 4: with my husband to discuss it. We had an honest

1141
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 4: discussion in which I expressed how mean my sister in

1142
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 4: law had been to me, and my husband ended up

1143
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 4: apologizing for not standing up for me while subconsciously knowing

1144
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,800
Speaker 4: how my sister in law treated me subconsciously, w husband,

1145
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 4: I don't think you have to. I don't know if

1146
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 4: he's it's pretty obvious to see how she was treating I.

1147
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: Think when she's screaming at you in front of the

1148
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 1: shower party. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty clear, pretty obvious.

1149
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 4: As I mentioned in my previous post, my husband comes

1150
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 4: from a household without a girl's sibling, and for the

1151
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 4: past twelve years, sister in law has been like a

1152
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 4: sister to him, leaving him torn between speaking out against

1153
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 4: her and sticking up for me. You should you should

1154
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 4: be sticking up for your partner.

1155
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 1: Man. My theory was kind of right, Yeah, that she

1156
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: was like this is the projective syst Now it has

1157
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: an even darker twist because they're not really so maybe

1158
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: she's got a little I married the wrong brother. Ooh,

1159
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: that'd be badoo, that'd be bad. Uh huh.

1160
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,240
Speaker 4: He said he didn't expect things to go so bad

1161
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 4: because we live in separate countries and won't see each

1162
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 4: other much. We resolved our conversation with him promising to

1163
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 4: have my back if something like this happened again. In

1164
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 4: the same week, my husband and I had the opportunity

1165
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 4: to speak with my brother in law through video call.

1166
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 4: Sister in law was not present. I know not everyone

1167
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 4: would agree with my apology, but I did apologize to

1168
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 4: brother in law for causing a scene by yelling at

1169
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 4: their gender reveal party. To my surprise, brother in law

1170
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 4: was fine, and he remarked she had it coming. Okay,

1171
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 4: so okay, so so no one's.

1172
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,320
Speaker 1: Supportive of their partners. There's a little trouble in paradise

1173
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: over there in Dubai.

1174
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 4: So following that, brother in law apologize to me on

1175
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 4: behalf of sister in law as well as for turning

1176
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,720
Speaker 4: a blind eye to what have been going on between

1177
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:02,919
Speaker 4: me and sister in law.

1178
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:04,760
Speaker 1: We discussed what might.

1179
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 4: Be the source of sister in law's hatred for me,

1180
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 4: and to my surprise, it appears to be tied to

1181
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 4: the fact that sister in law believes I am taking

1182
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,320
Speaker 4: over the position of daughter in law in the family

1183
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:14,879
Speaker 4: from her.

1184
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: Oh so it's okay. So it wasn't that she was

1185
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: taking okay, so it was that you're stepping into what

1186
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: my that's my throne. I am the sister in law

1187
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:26,720
Speaker 1: everyone loves.

1188
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 4: You can't have two sister in laws, no one who

1189
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 4: like you. She has been the only sister in law

1190
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 4: for my husband's brothers, and she believes I am taking

1191
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 4: over the role. As I previously stated, my husband's younger

1192
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 4: brothers have been studying in my home country since early

1193
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,240
Speaker 4: this year, and we have had many opportunities to spend

1194
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 4: time together. According to brother in law, sister in law

1195
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 4: believes the brothers have been pulling away from her and

1196
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 4: becoming closer to me. For information, The brothers are twenty

1197
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 4: two and sixteen years old. Maybe because you're nasty, yeah, man,

1198
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 4: they don't like get a little nasty girl. Adding to

1199
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 4: the unpredictable pregnant hormones, she believes I'm buying the brother's

1200
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 4: love by spoiling them with materialistic items.

1201
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: Live in Dubai, you live, you live in Dubai. I said,

1202
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: everyone rich here? Isn't everyone rich in the story? Yeah.

1203
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 4: Brother in law stated that she had mentioned her concern

1204
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 4: to him several times previously, and he did not but

1205
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 4: he did not expect her to take it seriously and

1206
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 4: always dismissed it. But we would never dismiss you if

1207
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 4: you join us live every weekday at three pmpst on YouTube, Facebook,

1208
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 4: and TikTok just top of our profile, and there is

1209
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 4: a little bit more.

1210
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: But what are your thoughts here? What do we do well?

1211
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: First thought is that I didn't realize so many people

1212
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: kept their baby blankets for so long looking at the

1213
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 1: chat here.

1214
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 4: No, I think a lot of people will keep baby blankets.

1215
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 4: But I just think it's crazy to buy a baby

1216
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 4: a door blanket.

1217
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess. At the same time, it's like, if

1218
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: you're living in Dubai, It's like, why would you have

1219
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,439
Speaker 1: the problem if somebody buys you the de or blanket, Right,

1220
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: It's like you're kind of already, You're kind of already

1221
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: in that world. Maybe I don't know.

1222
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 4: Cowbought as God says. I looked up a couple of

1223
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 4: der baby blankets. They were five hundred and fifty and

1224
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 4: five hundred and seventy dollars.

1225
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: Just buy me five future reference, if I ever have

1226
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: a kid and you consider buying a your baby blanket

1227
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: for them, buy me however much that cost in diapers. Honestly,

1228
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: just that, But there is more to this story.

1229
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 4: He apologized again and stated that he will discuss it

1230
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 4: with sister in law after feelings have been resolved. According

1231
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:35,959
Speaker 4: to brother in law, sister in law has been acting

1232
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 4: as if nothing had happened, so he's also unsure when

1233
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 4: it is appropriate to bring the issue to the table.

1234
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 4: We ended the video chat on a positive note, and

1235
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 4: I promised brother in law that I would speak with

1236
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 4: the brothers and perhaps encourage them to contact sister in

1237
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 4: law to see how she's doing so she does not

1238
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 4: feel left out. And as for sister in law, I

1239
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 4: haven't spoken to her yet, and to be honest, I'm

1240
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 4: not sure I ever will. My husband and I have

1241
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 4: decided to move on from the situation and focus on

1242
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 4: our own lives. I believe that is all the updates

1243
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 4: so far, and to be honest, I could use some

1244
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 4: suggestions on how to fix my relationship with my sister

1245
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 4: in law. Should I reach out to her or something

1246
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 4: at the end of that, which is you know, your

1247
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 4: tech your tech?

1248
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you've either one will work from the

1249
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 1: sound of it. It's not like this is something you're

1250
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with every week. No, she's you

1251
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: guys are literally all over the world. Yeah, so at

1252
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: some point, you guys will settle back into your own

1253
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: lives and this will become a just a distance memory,

1254
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: a faint thought. Here's johnio og Host here. We're gonna

1255
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 1: get back to the stories, but he's a quick three

1256
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: minute break of ass from our sponsors. My future mother

1257
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 1: in law keeps misinterpreting my words, so I don't want

1258
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: her at my wedding anymore.

1259
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 4: She's just trying to put words into your mouth and

1260
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 4: she's got to get out.

1261
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:59,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly what she said. My twenty five feet

1262
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: future husband twenty nine mail and I are getting married

1263
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: next year. We had a disastrous phone call with my

1264
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: future in laws last weekend. She called me a liar, passive, aggressive,

1265
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: and patronize wood. By the way, this comes from user

1266
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: disastrous Cream two one on the r slash Okay storytime

1267
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: severed it. So why did she say all of this.

1268
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: We visited them at the end of August and she

1269
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: asked me if we had to paid a deposit for

1270
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: our elopement company. Yet, what's that? What? What's that? Elopement?

1271
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: Isn't the whole point of eloping that you don't really

1272
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: have to pay anyone or anything. You just gonna go

1273
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: get married. Anyway, I said that yes we had, but

1274
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: I did not say that we signed a contract because

1275
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 1: I thought that was self explanatory. This is what makes

1276
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 1: me a liar. She scheduled a tour at a local

1277
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: venue without asking us and dropped a bomb on us,

1278
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: saying it was scheduled the following Monday, so we had

1279
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 1: to stay an extra day. What we went on the

1280
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 1: tour to avoid being rude. This makes me passive, aggressive,

1281
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: and patronizing. She told us she would call our elopement

1282
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: company and get us out of the contract because she

1283
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: works for a law firm. We repeatedly told her we

1284
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 1: do not want her to do this. They had offered

1285
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: to let us use their yard for our after party

1286
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: and mentioned being concerned about her dogs barking at guests,

1287
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: so I had suggested keeping them in the large, temperature

1288
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: controlled finished basement basically a small apartment with a bedroom, kitchenet,

1289
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,800
Speaker 1: and living area, but she acted like I wanted to

1290
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: lock them in a dark cellar or something. For context,

1291
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 1: I worked in veterinary medicine and I'm a board member

1292
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: for an animal rescue. I love animals. She yelled and

1293
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: berated me on the phone for this, despite not saying

1294
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: anything while we were there. She just seems like a problem. Yeah, mom,

1295
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: seems like a problem and a problem. Just let them elope, please.

1296
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: Why are you getting involved? They found a cold company,

1297
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: They've got the elutement company. It's set. We did not

1298
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: get a chance to discuss the miscommunication because I hadn't

1299
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: realized there was one that needed to be discussed. She

1300
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: also said that she didn't want us to have the

1301
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 1: party there anymore, but I refused to listen to her

1302
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 1: about that. I had no idea that's what she was saying.

1303
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: I thought she was talking about a problem, so I

1304
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: had suggested a solution. My future husband had to end

1305
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: the call because I was in tears. I was under

1306
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 1: the impression our relationship had been good until that point,

1307
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: but apparently I was wrong. My future father in law

1308
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: suggested that we take a week to cool off and

1309
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: have another call. So at the gist of this, the

1310
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 1: core of the issue so far is that in regards

1311
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 1: to like sort of planning the marriage, the elopement and

1312
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:52,439
Speaker 1: everything going around, that Op found out that her mother

1313
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: in law kind of doesn't like her at all. Yeah,

1314
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: the reckoning with that of like why the mother in

1315
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: law is just being real nasty to Ope on the

1316
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:05,439
Speaker 1: phone while talking about you know, the eloping, the engagement, whatever,

1317
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: and she's trying to control everything. She basically calling her

1318
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: own liar because she's like, well, you told me this

1319
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: was paid and it's not. And it's like, well it,

1320
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: for all intentsive purposes, it is because that's who we're using,

1321
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,200
Speaker 1: so please don't sign a contract to pay. And then

1322
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 1: she's like, ah, well you just did this because you know,

1323
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 1: and then you signed her up for a tour like

1324
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: a day after they were supposed to leave town, so

1325
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: they they stayed a day so that you could go

1326
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: they could go on the tour of this place that

1327
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: they're probably not even going to go to, but they're

1328
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: just doing it to appease you. And then you're like,

1329
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 1: we are being patronizing. You didn't have to go to

1330
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 1: that it's like, well, I don't know, You're just trying

1331
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: to make you happy and nothing apparently can never make

1332
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: you happy. Anyways, Yeah, last night we had a second

1333
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: call with them, all four of us on speakerphone. My

1334
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: future mother in law had taken me to look at

1335
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 1: houses for sale in their area while we were visiting,

1336
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: as we had planned to move there after the wedding.

1337
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 1: While we were looking at homes, we were discussing future children,

1338
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: as we wanted to account for bedrooms needed. On the topic,

1339
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: I asked if she thought my future father in law

1340
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 1: would be willing to smoke outside instead of in the

1341
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,880
Speaker 1: house when a future baby is in the picture, and

1342
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 1: mentioned that my best friend had just had a baby

1343
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: and she was suggesting vaccine protocols, so I asked her

1344
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 1: her thoughts on that as well. Apparently that really pissed

1345
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: them off. I probably wouldn't have brought that up with her.

1346
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think it's just been like you're I

1347
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 4: don't know. Later I would have told the husband, like, hey,

1348
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 4: you died, your dad can't smoke in the house.

1349
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's not like a would they consume

1350
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: you don't ask her about those things? Hey, baby inside house.

1351
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:35,919
Speaker 1: You smoking outside house? Done?

1352
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 4: Not even if there's not a baby in the house.

1353
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 4: You can just be like, don't smoke inside the house.

1354
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 4: I don't want smokers into my house.

1355
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: Oh, if there's one thing about smokers, they don't mean

1356
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: like told what to do where that's true, seem smoke.

1357
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: I can't smoke at my house. I say, no, dog

1358
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:52,760
Speaker 1: spoke at my house. I don't want you smoking my

1359
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: how house, don't smoking my I'm the baby. I don't

1360
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: want you to smoke at the house. The baby says,

1361
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: baby's not smoking the house. She asked about how soon

1362
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: she could see our future baby, so I told her

1363
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: I would only want my future husband in the delivery

1364
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 1: room and they would be welcome to visit after the arrival.

1365
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: Just so normal. Just stop ooh, don't have these conversations.

1366
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, stop giving her honestly, stop giving her like power

1367
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 4: over these decisions.

1368
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah no, that's not her decision. She said she doesn't

1369
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: like hospitals, so she would likely wait until we were home.

1370
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: All normal and upbeat conversations, no mention of being offended

1371
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: at all. During the call, she brought up these topics

1372
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: and said, I'm already making rules to follow for a

1373
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: hypothetical baby, and I uninvited them from the hospital. You

1374
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 1: said you didn't want to be at the hospital. This

1375
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 1: this woman sucks. Oh my gosh's exhausted. Just don't talk

1376
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 1: to her. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. I tried to explain

1377
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 1: that that is certainly not what I meant, and that

1378
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: I was sorry for the miscommunication. She said, it doesn't

1379
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:58,680
Speaker 1: matter what I meant. It matters how the other person

1380
01:05:58,720 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: perceives what is said.

1381
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 4: It's like, what, what's crazy?

1382
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: That's crazy. I apologized again, and she cut me off.

1383
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 1: She then said we aren't good at communication and said

1384
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: it's because I don't have a family, so I must

1385
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 1: not know how to behave in one whoa whoa, whoa?

1386
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: Where is the husband? You are letting your mom go.

1387
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: Your mom is talking a whole lot, and she should.

1388
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: Your mom is going to death. Con five nuclear launch

1389
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: codes happening, The missiles are flying and they're they're smacking

1390
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 1: your wife.

1391
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:42,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1392
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: Oh. He was like, hey, what do you think? And

1393
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: she was like, release oh, missus, what do you think?

1394
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 1: And the mother in law is like, I think you're

1395
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 1: a stupid orphan who doesn't know how to act that. Meanwhile,

1396
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: the husband's like if you guys tried this dip my god. Okay,

1397
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 1: my mother died six years ago and I do not

1398
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: speak to my father, so this was offensive to say

1399
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 1: the least. I told them I would be happy to

1400
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 1: update them on anything related to the wedding and asked

1401
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 1: how much detail they wanted. She said I don't have

1402
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: to tell her anything because it's clear I don't want

1403
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 1: her help. She also said they were planning to help

1404
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: pay for a different venue since they felt bad about

1405
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 1: saying the yard was no longer available due to the dogs,

1406
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:28,439
Speaker 1: but because of our actions. Because of our actions, she's

1407
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: no longer offering assistance. We've never asked for it or

1408
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: expected money.

1409
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, aren't they doing like the they're

1410
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 4: doing the elopement.

1411
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, we don't want your assistance. She's like, yeah,

1412
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 1: they're like, we don't. We don't want your backyard. Use it.

1413
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:47,760
Speaker 1: Then we'll, well, we'll do something else because we never

1414
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: wanted it. Another point of contention is my father in

1415
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: law's health. He's in heart failure and was worried he

1416
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: couldn't participate in the elopement at a waterfall, so we

1417
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: changed the location to a park that does not require

1418
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: walking or hiking sick. Well, I mean, hey, well, that's

1419
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: nice of you that, that's very nice of you, And

1420
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 1: he sounds like maybe he's not quite as much of

1421
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 1: a beast as the mother in law. It's also wheelchair accessible,

1422
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 1: and I told them that we made this accommodation, and

1423
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 1: my father in law, sorry my future mother in law,

1424
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: continues to insist that by choosing to elope, we don't

1425
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:28,240
Speaker 1: want them there, which was never the case. We specifically

1426
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: said that having them there was important to us, and

1427
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 1: we accommodated their concerns with the ada accessible location. But

1428
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 1: now we don't want you there. We don't want your father.

1429
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 1: The father in law can come, Yeah, you should stay home.

1430
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: Father in law with his soft heart, with his soft heart,

1431
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 1: he can come, is lovely father in law. At this point,

1432
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: I was totally fit up and said we would let

1433
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 1: them know the location, the date and the time, and

1434
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 1: if they would like to be there, they're welcome to come.

1435
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: If they don't want to come, they don't have to.

1436
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 1: This caused both of them to blow up and yell

1437
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: at us. They also claimed that we say we're coming

1438
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 1: to visit them, then backtrack and cancel. That has literally

1439
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: never happened. The first time I met them was Thanksgiving.

1440
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 1: We went to dinner and drove home, which we went

1441
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: for dinner and drove home, which is a total of

1442
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,720
Speaker 1: nine hours of driving. By the way, we were a

1443
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: bit late due to holiday traffic and told them that

1444
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be able to stay the night because we

1445
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: had a sick cat at home. This apparently ruined Thanksgiving. Ah.

1446
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: On Christmas, we stayed three nights, but had to leave

1447
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 1: after lunch the last day to get home to the

1448
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 1: cats due to the pet sitter availability. So they had

1449
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 1: to leave a little bit early because they had to

1450
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,719
Speaker 1: take care of their pets. Yeah, normal, and which apparently

1451
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 1: ruined Christmas. Christmas, Hi, you're two for two rooms. Wait

1452
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 1: to go carefree your pets. We stayed with them again

1453
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: for Easter and had a great conversation going, so we

1454
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: asked if it would be okay for us to stay

1455
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 1: a bit later than expected that day. They said of course,

1456
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 1: and we kept chatting, but apparently we should have left

1457
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:08,520
Speaker 1: after brunch, like of course.

1458
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,799
Speaker 4: And they're like, you ruin the East time and leave

1459
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 4: they ruined, Thanks Skippy, they're all the sty They're ruined

1460
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 4: Christmas and they think they can just do the trilogy.

1461
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:21,320
Speaker 1: And ruin East to two. You are three for three, yes,

1462
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 1: and we will let them do it because we don't

1463
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: like to talk about the issues we have. We like

1464
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:28,560
Speaker 1: to let to let them seethe beneath the surface, and

1465
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 1: then we bring them out at the next album. It's

1466
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 1: convenient for us. We like to tell you about the

1467
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 1: things that we perceive you have done wrong. Yeah, these

1468
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: people are exhausting, especially the mother in law, but siring

1469
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 1: me out, man, I don't want to hear about it.

1470
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:41,800

1479
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 4: The thing is that he's been going so high and

1480
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 4: and these people just keep going lower. Yeah, it's like, uh,

1485
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:31,160
Speaker 1: Opposite economic graph. Yeah, yeah, isn't that how to express

1486
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 1: supply and demand? That's yeah, that's what's going on here,

1487
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: and the blind demand meet. We want, uh, there is

1488
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,160
Speaker 1: no demand for you, and we would like your supply

1489
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 1: to be zero. We want that supply demand cur to

1490
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 1: be flat for you mother in law and father in

1491
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:47,280
Speaker 1: law at this point, because it's like you literally switched

1492
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 1: to the venue from a waterfall to a park, which

1493
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 1: that's a downgrade. I don't want to hear it. And you, kindly,

1494
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 1: it was a very kind thing to do, yes, for

1495
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 1: this soft hearted lovely for the time with the father

1496
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 1: in law in cardiac failure. That was kind of you. Yeah,

1497
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 1: but then he's gonna be like, actually, no, you guys suck.

1498
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 1: But you guys are just gonna tell us where and

1499
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 1: when to be Well, let's let's get into the tail

1500
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 1: end of this year. Let's let's see how this happened.

1501
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 1: My future husband was so angry, he was shaking, trying

1502
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 1: to hold back words he might regret. So there's the

1503
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 1: husband right there. He's shaking, shaking and anger. My future

1504
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 1: mother in law is saying everything I've said has a

1505
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 1: double meaning because she's an English major and she knows tone. Yo.

1506
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 1: Shout out to all the English teachers slash majors who

1507
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 1: are literally they invent meaning out of nothing. I remember

1508
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 1: I watched a thing on the guy. I'm getting on

1509
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 1: a tangent here, but it's like the you know, the author,

1510
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 1: like being interviewed by like a professor, being like, yeah,

1511
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: so I noticed that you did this and that and

1512
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,160
Speaker 1: this and that, and the author's just like, I didn't

1513
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 1: do any of that. I just wrote that book. Maybe

1514
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: the worst you're doing that. I have told her I've

1515
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 1: meant everything I've said as earnestly as I had said it,

1516
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 1: but she again circled back to saying it doesn't matter

1517
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:15,639
Speaker 1: what I meant, it matters how it was set. I said, okay,

1518
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,639
Speaker 1: I'm a psychology major. I don't see what our degrees

1519
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: have to do with this. Yeah, cycle analyze her. This

1520
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 1: apparently totally pissed her off, and she went off again.

1521
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: I told her it would be best to end the

1522
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 1: call here because my future husband is so upset. He's

1523
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: shaking and unable to speak. She said, quote, we hope

1524
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:37,280
Speaker 1: we still get to see you at Thanksgiving, and I said,

1525
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: have a good evening and hung up.

1526
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 4: Ohf he is so like pleasant, like, seems like such

1527
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 4: the nicest person. Yeah, just to be treated this way

1528
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 4: as well.

1529
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 1: I wish you would have just let your your husband

1530
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:55,879
Speaker 1: future husband jump in. He was shaking with rage, shaking.

1531
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: You gotta let him get that out to some level. Yeah,

1532
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: let him out a chihuahua. My future husband and I

1533
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 1: are on the same page. I will not be attending

1534
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: future holidays or events since it's very clear everything I

1535
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:11,880
Speaker 1: say is misinterpreted and weaponized when it's convenient for them.

1536
01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 1: He's welcome to visit for holidays if he wants to.

1558
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 1: No, definitely. H I kicked my neglectful brother in law

1559
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:17,719
Speaker 1: out of the estate. We bought it and his family

1560
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,719
Speaker 1: can't do anything about it. Brother, you may not stay

1561
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,599
Speaker 1: here no longer. They really did hit him with that.

1562
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 1: My thirty two male husband and I twenty nine female

1563
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: purchased his grandparents estate after both grandparents passed away and

1564
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 1: he did not inherit it. The family chose to sell

1565
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:41,760
Speaker 1: the entire estate without claiming or removing any property. By

1566
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:44,679
Speaker 1: the way, this comes from user Pigpin nine to one

1567
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: on the r slash Okay storytime sebredit. So the estate

1568
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 1: was left to the family to receive equal shares amongst

1569
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 1: two children and four grandchildren, including my husband. The family

1570
01:15:56,479 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: chose to sell and receive the money in equal shares.

1571
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:02,760
Speaker 1: My husband and I chose to purchase the estate. Dang,

1572
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 1: good for you guys, a state owners over here. Got

1573
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 1: that chicken money, all right, the big chicken money. My

1574
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 1: thirty three male brother in law was living in the

1575
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 1: house as his grandparents had agreed to help him get

1576
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 1: on his feet after the breakup with his child's mother.

1577
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 1: He had substance abuse issues and has been unemployed since

1578
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 1: the birth of his child. His child's mother supported him

1579
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 1: before they broke up a year ago. We agreed to

1580
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:31,759
Speaker 1: allow him to stay if he contributed to the monthly

1581
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: bills and got up to care for his child and

1582
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:37,720
Speaker 1: his pets, rather than leaving that responsibility to whoever was

1583
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:40,719
Speaker 1: awake or home. And if no one was awake or home,

1584
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 1: his three year old was left unattended. Oh now that's

1585
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 1: called criminal negligence.

1586
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:49,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what not to do as a parent. Won

1587
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 3: a one book. Yeah, seems like they didn't read.

1588
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:57,599
Speaker 1: It, he refused. Oh wow, you just outright was like, nah,

1589
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 1: I'll better myself as a person or father. No, I

1590
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,080
Speaker 1: don't think I'll be doing that. I told him he

1591
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 1: needed to move out, and he refused to move out.

1592
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:09,799
Speaker 1: I made it clear that it was not an option.

1593
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: I packed all of his and his child's things oh no,

1594
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 1: and moved them out of the bedroom he was staying

1595
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: in to the garage. Maybe you don't kick the kid.

1596
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:22,559
Speaker 2: Out though, Yeah, that's a tough one.

1597
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:26,559
Speaker 1: I don't know. My husband's family then informed me that

1598
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:30,200
Speaker 1: was not my place and I have no right. His

1599
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 1: mother showed up unannounced to our house to find I

1600
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,400
Speaker 1: had cleaned out his other uh cleaned out other rooms

1601
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: in the house, and she and two other family members

1602
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 1: informed me I would not be going through moving or

1603
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 1: getting rid of anything in the home as it belongs

1604
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 1: to their parents slash grandparents and it was not my place. Uh,

1605
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1606
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 2: Did you check the deed of the house?

1607
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 1: Yeahs when I go that's funny because I feel like

1608
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 1: I bought the place. Oh my gosh, whose name is

1609
01:17:55,320 --> 01:18:00,600
Speaker 1: ahead mine? Remember how you guys all had the ability

1610
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: to literally pick and choose whatever in the estate would

1611
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 1: belong to who, But y'all all decided on getting rid

1612
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:12,000
Speaker 1: of the whole thing and taking the cash. So the

1613
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: one who gave you the cash. That was us.

1614
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:16,760
Speaker 2: It was me and my husband, But it seems like

1615
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 2: that forgot that.

1616
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:20,559
Speaker 1: So we kind of own everything in the estate now

1617
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 1: because we paid you for it. Remember. I responded by

1618
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 1: saying they were welcome to ask for anything specific that

1619
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 1: they regret selling with the estate, but this is my

1620
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:36,439
Speaker 1: home and I will do whatever I want. They asked

1621
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:38,880
Speaker 1: that I give them the time to come and go

1622
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:43,599
Speaker 1: through things themselves, to which I said, no, if it's

1623
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 1: not garbage, it will be placed in storage until everything

1624
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 1: has been gone through and my husband has kept what

1625
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 1: he wants and the rest will be sold or donated.

1626
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: At that time, they are free to go through things.

1627
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: I explained that they would not be contacting any other

1628
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:01,600
Speaker 1: person who purchased the estate, and it is ridiculous that

1629
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,439
Speaker 1: they feel comfortable contacting me with demands. Yeah, basically being

1630
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 1: like if it wasn't if it wasn't us and your son,

1631
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:11,559
Speaker 1: or like, if we weren't the ones who bought the estate,

1632
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 1: would you be calling whoever bought it? Being like, actually,

1633
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 1: you guys aren't allowed to touch anything, and that's all

1634
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: our stuff. It's like, no, no, you would have done that.

1635
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 1: After I refuse to acknowledge their feelings. Quote unquote, they

1636
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 1: attempted to have my husband confront me and for him

1637
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:30,600
Speaker 1: to stop allowing me to be so disrespectful. My husband's response,

1638
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:35,800
Speaker 1: I cannot control her, and this is our home. So

1639
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 1: am I the a hole? I mean no, I think

1640
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 1: that there is a way where it's like, I think

1641
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 1: we might be missing a little key piece of information here,

1642
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:52,679
Speaker 1: and I think it might have been an unexpected thing

1643
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 1: for them to buy the estate outright, right, I think

1644
01:19:56,040 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 1: the whole estate got sold them included yeah right, and

1645
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:02,920
Speaker 1: then they went after that later and we're like, I

1646
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 1: mean it's like, I mean, we're just I don't know

1647
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:07,479
Speaker 1: how that works. I've never been in a position to

1648
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 1: buy or sell in the state. I'm not really familiar

1649
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:12,759
Speaker 1: with how the process works. But I got to assume

1650
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: that it was a surprise that they bought it, or

1651
01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 1: they would have gone through all that stuff and been like,

1652
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 1: we want to keep this, we want to get rid

1653
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 1: of that, yeah right, Or I don't know. All I

1654
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:24,400
Speaker 1: can think about is missing here.

1655
01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:27,679
Speaker 3: Give the husband the Award of the Year because dude,

1656
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 3: that comment, Oh my gosh, I cannot control her.

1657
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 2: This is our home.

1658
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:32,639
Speaker 1: Dude.

1659
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude to his own family. Come on, w husband,

1660
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:38,599
Speaker 3: I see him, I see him in the comments. I'm

1661
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,240
Speaker 3: not going to be like, yeah, he really did. That

1662
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:44,599
Speaker 3: was the most perfect statement he would have said. I'm

1663
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 3: not telling her how to be. It's our house. She

1664
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:50,640
Speaker 3: can be however she wants. It's our house. Brother in

1665
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:54,360
Speaker 3: law is on state assistance. Oh wait, oh my god,

1666
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,880
Speaker 3: the whole brother in law is. She completely left my brain.

1667
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 1: Brother in law is on state assistance, so the Department

1668
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:05,080
Speaker 1: of Family Services is already aware of their situation. All

1669
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:09,280
Speaker 1: involved grandparents, brother in law's mother, and the child's mother's

1670
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: parents are aware of the situation as well. When the

1671
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 1: child's mother spoke with us, she stated, she works and

1672
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 1: the baby has always been with dad, and dad has custody,

1673
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 1: so what is she supposed to do? I guess that's fair.

1674
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 1: The child's mother has also had substance abuse issues. Both

1675
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 1: parents are booziks and to use THHC substances, which are

1676
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: legal in this state. We cannot confirm the use of

1677
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 1: other substances. Brother in law moved in about three months

1678
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:43,680
Speaker 1: prior to grandparents both being gone. The estate was in

1679
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 1: probate and on the market. For nine months, and we

1680
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 1: paid market price, no family discount. My husband lived with

1681
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:55,360
Speaker 1: his grandparents from seven years old until he was twenty

1682
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:58,679
Speaker 1: seven years old when we moved in together. One day

1683
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: a week we had dinner with his grandparents at their

1684
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 1: home to check on them and spend some time with them.

1685
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 1: The rest of the family live in other towns thirty

1686
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 1: minutes to an hour away. My husband works outside of

1687
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:12,400
Speaker 1: the home and I work at home. We also have

1688
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 1: three children, my twelve year old male child from a

1689
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: previous relationship, and they all have to have their own

1690
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: space in our home.

1691
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, noted, So you were closer to the grandparents

1692
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:28,000
Speaker 3: than the other family members. Yeah, we got some contact

1693
01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 3: with the brother. Yeah, and it seems like brother in

1694
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:30,599
Speaker 3: law the.

1695
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 1: Other brother in law just moved in here out of convenience.

1696
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: At the tail end of the yeah, things were not

1697
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 1: going right. Yeah, and they're like, we'll let you get

1698
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:40,280
Speaker 1: on your feet here. We have another edit. We kept

1699
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: brother in law's pets as he is unable to care

1700
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 1: for them, and offered to have the child stay with

1701
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: us while the parents decide what to do. Both parents said, no,

1702
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: I do not agree with the family dynamics. Of my

1703
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 1: husband's family. That's not to say that I don't like them,

1704
01:22:56,320 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 1: but they enable one another and their child, my husband included,

1705
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 1: to act irresponsibly and irrationally. They had nine months to

1706
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,840
Speaker 1: claim items they wanted, and after we purchased, they had

1707
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 1: forty five days to go through things again. Anything that

1708
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 1: is not literally garbage or unusable or in need of

1709
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:18,479
Speaker 1: extensive repair is in storage to be gone through for

1710
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 1: sale and donation. And we have now an.

1711
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 3: Update, and the family it's just kind of like, ah,

1712
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 3: he's fine, let him do what he wants.

1713
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, enabling it. Yeah, They're like, don't you don't have

1714
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 1: the right, And it's like, actually, as the homeowner, I

1715
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,120
Speaker 1: do have the right to decide who gets to stay

1716
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:39,840
Speaker 1: in my house.

1717
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 3: Yeah. I honestly might be talking to the husband about

1718
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:48,719
Speaker 3: going low contact with his family because it doesn't seem

1719
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:50,880
Speaker 3: like they're tight in the first place. Yeah, and they're

1720
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 3: allowing this kind of like behavior to go on.

1721
01:23:54,479 --> 01:23:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I get like, there's we all have

1722
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 1: our ups and downs, our peaks and valleys, and it's like,

1723
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:02,800
Speaker 1: clearly the brother in law is not in a peak

1724
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 1: right now, He's in a valley, But you gave him

1725
01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 1: the opportunity to stay there. You said, here's a B

1726
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:13,640
Speaker 1: and C what needs to happen. We need you to

1727
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:15,280
Speaker 1: pay your way a little bit, we need you to

1728
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 1: try to get a job. We need you to make

1729
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:20,720
Speaker 1: active steps to coming out of this valley. And he

1730
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 1: straight up said, no, that is a hard no from me.

1731
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 1: So they're saying, Okay, if that's a hard no from you,

1732
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:28,679
Speaker 1: you have to leave.

1733
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they're not going to be like his family

1734
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,640
Speaker 3: and enable it. They're gonna be like be a person.

1735
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 1: Like all right, you got to now figure it out.

1736
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 1: Then I guess if you're not gonna figure it out here,

1737
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 1: go figure out somewhere else, because you're not gonna stay here.

1738
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 1: My husband contacted the estate attorney, and I contacted the

1739
01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:46,439
Speaker 1: sales attorney. It was a lot of attorney talk. We

1740
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 1: purchased the estate anonymously to avoid this situation. Okay, So

1741
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 1: I was right. They didn't know that this was happening. Yeah,

1742
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:57,560
Speaker 1: And now that they realized that the estate was purchased,

1743
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,559
Speaker 1: they're saying, actually, wait, no, we want to look through

1744
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:02,560
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and we want to do that. So

1745
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 1: they're trying to take advantage of the situation. They're trying

1746
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:10,439
Speaker 1: to strong armor. She's saying not today anyway. We purchased

1747
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 1: the estate anonymously to avoid this situation. I was unaware

1748
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: of that the family has no legal right to any property,

1749
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:20,639
Speaker 1: and was informed of that when we purchased the property.

1750
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 1: So the family sold all property without the knowledge that

1751
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:29,080
Speaker 1: we purchased it, and they could potentially reclaim anything. They

1752
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:31,960
Speaker 1: have continued to demand I not go through or remove

1753
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 1: any property, and I have continued to throw trash out

1754
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 1: and place other items in storage. I have taken the

1755
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 1: advice of many commenters to sell back the items the

1756
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 1: family is asking or demanding back. We paid for the

1757
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 1: property and items. They can purchase the items back with

1758
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 1: the money we paid for said items they want okay

1759
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:55,559
Speaker 1: upon purchase. We did not continue the rent free agreement

1760
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 1: for brother in law, and he was quote evicted prior

1761
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: to purchase the agreement to allow him to stay after

1762
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:05,560
Speaker 1: we purchased and required a rental agreement for utilities and

1763
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 1: the understanding he would be responsible for his child and

1764
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 1: pets when he refused the new agreement. No eviction was

1765
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,720
Speaker 1: needed as it was a property sale with more than

1766
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 1: a thirty day notice, so they are legally completely in

1767
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:21,880
Speaker 1: the green here and legally, I think all of you

1768
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 1: would be in the green as well if you join

1769
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:28,280
Speaker 1: us every weekday when we go live on YouTube, on Facebook,

1770
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:31,560
Speaker 1: TikTok and Twitch at three pmpst. All you gotta do

1771
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: is tap our profile. We might even be live right now.

1772
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 1: If you're watching this in the.

1773
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 3: Future, God to see if we're live right now. Yeah,

1774
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:41,720
Speaker 3: the ducks are in the row. There's nothing they can do.

1775
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 1: But what would your position be on on future steps

1776
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: to take in regards to communications with the family.

1777
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:50,800
Speaker 3: I feel like they did every single step that they could.

1778
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,840
Speaker 3: They offered to take the kid in, they offered the

1779
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 3: brother in law to do what they could. I think

1780
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,720
Speaker 3: they got everything figured out here.

1781
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:03,040
Speaker 1: Let's finish this story off. Let's see it. Let's see

1782
01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 1: how greedy it gets. Oh goodness, Okay, last edit and update.

1783
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 1: We purchased the estate for four hundred thousand dollars rounding down,

1784
01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 1: so yes, it did cost us. He did receive one

1785
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: sixth of the four hundred thousand, which was given directly

1786
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:21,479
Speaker 1: back to the bank for the loan, along with additional

1787
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 1: funds we saved over the nine months to purchase either

1788
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:27,719
Speaker 1: this estate or another home. Brother in law was given

1789
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: the option to contribute to the cost of utilities and

1790
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:35,080
Speaker 1: his child's uh and his child and his pets' living costs,

1791
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:37,680
Speaker 1: get out of bed and care for his child and

1792
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:40,920
Speaker 1: pets at the time of purchase. When he refused that option,

1793
01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 1: no eviction was required because he was legally required to

1794
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 1: vacate when we purchased the estate. And that's the end

1795
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:49,760
Speaker 1: of the stories that they're like, yep, and we and

1796
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:51,679
Speaker 1: we didn't even have to go through an eviction process

1797
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 1: because he was already legally required to leave. Yeah, at

1798
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:56,000
Speaker 1: the time that we bought it.

1799
01:27:56,400 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 3: Those families whack whack lootle do I mean, I guess

1800
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:05,439
Speaker 3: a smart move trying to buy it anonymously, But also like, oh,

1801
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:07,519
Speaker 3: it turned out it was impossible to.

1802
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have done it anonymously, and then it would

1803
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:12,880
Speaker 1: have avoided all of this because they would have just

1804
01:28:12,960 --> 01:28:15,560
Speaker 1: done it immediately and would have been like, you know,

1805
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:19,280
Speaker 1: but I guess you had to do it anonymously, because

1806
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 1: if you didn't, then it would have definitely been way

1807
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:26,600
Speaker 1: more of a mess up. Oh yeah, and the like

1808
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 1: this imagine from what am I saying? It's so smart

1809
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 1: that you do this anonymously because now that you have

1810
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 1: everything legally lined up, there's nothing they can do but like,

1811
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:38,479
Speaker 1: you know, cry and complain about it. Before they would

1812
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:40,560
Speaker 1: have been able to like twist your arm about it

1813
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:43,680
Speaker 1: in a very more real way. But if you're now

1814
01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:46,800
Speaker 1: that you've bought the whole estate, it's like there we go.

1815
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 2: I can't say nothing.
