Absolutely Pom and her H. I think they are both saints.
And, my hope is to someday open a post from bliss about her new job with 401k and good benefits in marketing (not just social media but some broadly applicable role) and her savings plan.
I also send good karma to you @mrschicken - with your Hs illness and rat drama....good to know you always have miso the cutest dog in the world.
On the job front, @idaholakelady, gogreengowhite, and bunnysmom from a career perspective. Any update from you ladies on the job front and I click in first.
I often send prayers out for the members of the painful feet club who always keep a keen eye out for comfy shoes. There is a Shark Tank pitch I think about often, re: comfy and stylish shoes. It can be done, but it is not done consistently by anyone...yet.
Oh! The AE with the giant house and ALL THE MULCH. What did she do!?!?
I can't remember if it was here it ML, but someone from a car dealership wrote a false yelp review and @misoangry drafted a letter... was it agnes? it was all happening a few weeks ago and then I went on vacation to the land of no cell service and no wifi so I missed any resolution, if there was one.

anyone have an updated thread for that?
I think that was agnes? I want to know what happened, too!
The AE who was at a startup with a great comp package (she was getting a percentage of revenue instead of stock) and got pushed out. She was pregnant or just had a kid or something. Very HCOL, very FWP, but I hope she managed to keep her career on track.
Anybody who's in the business of taking care of parents or ILs. Pom, book, I know there are others.
Related: there must be people on the board with sick or disabled children, for whom life care is expensive, time consuming. Do they post about how that is affecting their lives and I just don't see them?

nothing has happened since then. I've gotten the signed certified cards back and that's it.
Who posted about what bringing a single bottle of wine to family gathering? One of the Jens? I think that's been my favorite post the board is gotten overly invested in in the last year
I want to hear an update from the next family gathering

bummer, agnes. I hope there is a better resolution for you at some point.
I'm not really expecting anything. Though an apology and not being dickheads would have been nice. I just don't want anymore libelous statements made or any suspicious activity on my credit to show up. If there is, I'm going to hire a lawyer and sue their asses.
My H is really friendly with his 23 y/o CW (wait, he is actually her boss) and she is carpooling with us to a reunion and he IMs her all day long, sometimes inappropriately. Would this bother you?
I haven't gotten through even the OP yet, but why can't there be jello shots at a party with kids?

Because the kids might eat the jello? I wouldn't ban it myself, but I could see how some might not want to monitor access to the jello.
I am now invested in the thread on ML about the husband who invited his young coworker/direct report to a bbq.
Holy fuck, I'd kick my H's ass. Expecting her to be the DD for him and his work chick, while squires newbie around a party with their friends. AND HE's HER BOSS. HELL NO.
It kind of put in to perspective how pissed I was at Mr. Pom this morning for not power washing the driveway when I've been asking for a week. Go ahead honey, play in your garden all you want, you obsessive little, nerdy garden gnome.

And to make a bad situation worse, the work chick bought him/their son a book because she just happened to see it at a book store. ^o)

Nope. I'd have none of that.
I missed that. And I skipped around a bit, but didn't OP say that she hadn't told anyone she was pregnant yet? Oh I'd be batshitcrazymad and fur would fly. Off to read more....that is a big fat post of red flags.

The book is for her 3 y/o. They haven't announced the pregnancy.
Thanks chloe and raangoli for getting me all squared away on this...LOL. I thought he'd confided to young CWer that they were pregnant. That would have been hulksmash rage time.
I feel really bad for her none the less. I hope her H pulls his head out of his ass and takes this mess seriously and they can move forward from this. Unless he's a lying liar and then all bets would be off. Keeping cookies in my thoughts.
I have terrible GBCN memory but I'm sure I'll think of lots as I read through this post. I'm currently very wrapped up in the ML post about the DH who's being inappropriate with a young subordinate at work. I feel for the OP and hope it's not as bad as it sounds.
ETA: The same one everyone in this post is already talking about. lol.

I feel so bad for her and the other posters who said that they've had similar things happen to them. I want to put my rose-colored glasses back on and pretend that ish like this doesn't happen.

Even so, the book is totally nuts. What 23 year old with nothing but good intentions is out buying books for a co-workers 3 year old that they've never even met "just because"

I want to hear an update from the next family gathering
Haha this was me
Update: We get together with this part of DH's family every 4-6 weeks and have a great relationship with them. It's just the random uncle, his wife (who happens to be a recovering alcoholic), and their 18 year old son, that I'm not a fan of, and I didn't want to share my wine with them. I always happily share it with my one SIL (this wasn't in the op because I forgot to mention it and then the thread got crazy and it seemed like backtracking to mention it, lol).
I haven't seen them since Thanksgiving, they aren't invited to family gatherings very often, I've only seen them about 5 times in the 11 years I've been a part of DH's family. I now keep a Costco bottle of wine in my trunk just in case!
And now my local nesties always tease me about the wine fiasco, lol...
