My SIL announced she's 6 weeks pregnant over Christmas. This is my SIL who had tremendous gender issues when she found out she was having a boy the first go around.
She's already talking about this baby as if it's a girl, and going on about how she's excited that she's considered advanced maternal age so they can find out the sex during 1st trimester bloodwork.
I just...don't get that kind of need to have a girl to where it's the only thing she focuses on. Makes my heart hurt for my nephew, she's a great mom to him now but I hope that doesn't change if this baby is a girl, ya know?

My SIL has gender issues with her child. She wanted a boy so badly and they have a girl. She only buys her clothing from the boy section and will not let her play with girly toys. It's very strange. They are one and done, so I do not have very much hope that things will get better. It's been awkward since I'm pregnant with a boy.

See, this is where things get dicey for me - to me this has GOT to be some way mental illness is showing through, and that needs to be addressed and given sympathy and a good doctor and support system. The other half of me is like WTF ASSHOLE who doesn't just have this overwhelming love for their kid standing right there in front of them, FUCK YOU.
I had my salad tossed on a first date. Well, technically after the official date. I wasn't bent over a restaraunt table or anything. That dude was freak of the millennium. Honestly, it was a bit much. I kept wondering if he'd been hankering after my bungmeat the entire evening. Seems like something you should tell someone. Or at least hint at.
Let's file this one under rants, because I really didn't appreciate it.
Gotta eat the booty like groceries. Have you heard this yet?
I was initially grossed out about the dog thing, but if it's while brining, meh. I feel like brining is already glermy. And I dry brine, so I'm not opposed to it.
My confession is we're so lazy we haven't fixed our door handle, so I had to use the hose as pliers to get back in. I don't think it's the man's job at all, but I wish h had done something about it before he left. Because he never does any house mx. It's all on me, somewhat because I'm better at electrical stuff, but he can screw in a door handle. When he does stuff I have to coach him.

Hate to ask the obvious but why didn't you say no?
Well I said I didn't appreciate it. Not that I was horrified, disgusted, and trying desperately to escape. It just wasn't as awesome as he might have thought it was, that's all. Plus it's hard to execute a sexy front-to-back flip in that highly compromising position, so I had to do an awkward little scooch and shimmy maneuver to keep us both from further embarrassing ourselves.
All minor annoyances in the grand scheme, but still. It's why I only requested an advanced warning, not a restraining order.

Your SIL is like, fucking insane to me.
I feel awful for this little girl. This is worse than " over gendering" to me ( like making everything pink and princessy and not buying educational toys just play princess dresses and makeup kits)
It's just so fucking sad to hang all of these gender expectations on your little one from like BIRTH either way.

You and Scotty are the two candidates for poet laureate of Married Life.
The hell? I know I usually* tend to treat hostessing as seriously as Serena Williams takes the grand fucking slam, but damn! Serving the dirty dog turkey to guests? Holy shit! This is as horrifying as the floaters left at miso 's over the holidays. I don't care if it was a 6 year old, that's nasty, 6 year olds can be trained to use a Target/ gas station washroom, or flush properly and sit in the room until the stench has evaporated .
*I say usually, because IRL The Kirkettes are known for their Happy Epiphany Holiday Cards. I have until Wednesday to get them all addresses and in the mail. That is if they ever arrive in the mail. Damn you, Tiny Prints/ Snapfish logistical error!
Wait, what? Are you saying that the kid should hold it and use a public toilet rather than the host's bathroom? Or that it's okay to not flush in a public bathroom? I'm clearly missing something here.
Speaking of stupid restaurants, I came across #wewantplates and I can't believe how ridiculous some of these are. Really? Nothing like a sticky mess on a piece of wood.

Why do you have to sit in there until the stench has evaporated? What if it seeps into your clothes and pores and then you return to the party smelling like last night's dinner? I'll teach my kid to courtesy flush and run the fan, but I'll also teach them to expect that a room for shitting may in fact smell like shit when you enter. Deal with it.
I have hatred in my heart for people who only wear everything once before washing.
YOU ARE THE REASON PEOPLE PANIC ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT. And I'm not even particularly environmentally-conscious. But holy shit.
If I don't do this I have pit reek the next day. If it's any consolation, I have a high awareness of my suckage and I flog myself with my day-old clothing until I pass out from the trapped skunk fart smell.

Yikes, that too! I think I stopped reading after training to use the public toilet.
How clean do you people think a dead turkey carcass is? If the licking was pre-cooking, I 'can't imagine the dog germs were any grosser than whatever bacteria was already hanging out on the turkey skin.

This is what I was going to say. I mean you are using your teeth to rip into animal flesh that was once living And breathing and had blood and arteries and popped and peed without cleaning itself. what is a little dog slobber?

Shit at home is always preferable. Followed by a public restroom. Then, if you must, someone else's home. Clean up after yourself everywhere, especially at other people's homes. Hopefully there are tools to help eliminate the stench before you exit the washroom.
I can't imagine TEACHING someone this. Do I believe it to be true for my OWN comfort and nearby reading material, of course, but "training" a kid to hold their poop is the weirdest thing in this thread.
I hope somebody at Steph's house was like, "Mmmm this turkey is so delicious! What's your secret?"
And then she had to shush the dog like a Bush's Baked Beans commercial.
You know, that's the most annoying part of the post to me. "Everyone said it was delicious." Like the dog's saliva was some kind of secret ingredient.
It was really hard to not blurt out that my dog licked it every single time someone commented on it.
Last year my H's grandma served us stuffing that had tons of hair in it. I took a bit, felt a hair in it, pulled said hair out, dug around in my scoop of stuffing and found 10 more hairs. I'm pretty sure my turkey is nothing compared to that. His family's cleanliness standards are nonexistent.
