  1. Yes, you are dependent upon each other. She needs to attach to someone and glue all of her problems and emotions onto that person. You need to be needed. You have a need for this focused attention, this scenario of being her complete world. She can't even clean the home without you. Instead of being disgusted by this barnacle-attached friend, you crave it. And now that she has a boyfriend and is pregnant, she is clinging barnacle-style to him, and this hurts you. You are trying to stay in the middle of her life with all of these questions, all of this analysis, while she's looking over there, at someone else, to fill her every need. This isn't healthy for either of you. Serve out the terms of your lease and move out.
  2. Yeah, great question: Why haven't you sent the Xmas presents? Punishing your grandchildren by withholding gifts? Classy.
  3. Let's say your daughter is 99% wrong. (even though I don't think that to be the case). 100% of you doesn't get to see your grandchildren. Sometimes, we have to let that person be wrong, agree to disagree, and move on with our life.
  4. Oh my. He snowed you but good. Please remove all traces of this narcissistic weasel from your life.
  5. I must be really old school, but not only am I not flattered, I’m disgusted when it happens. For me, it’s an auto-block, but to each his own. Once, years ago, I didn’t have my picture on a site, and a guy asked me to describe myself. I said I’m 200 lbs overweight, with pitted acne and scraggly wiry hair. He then proceeded to send sexy messages! Which made me realize, all they are looking for is a recipient. Any recipient.
  6. Ugh, this "trend" is awful. No, I don't think this is ok, and no, I don't continue with anyone who wants to sext. One guy asked for pictures of my feet. Um, yeah no, buddy. I think it's gross, personally. More importantly, I would NEVER share anything sexual over text, lest it be held against me in future. Why put yourself at risk with electronic communication?
  7. Rita, if I understand the reason you posted to begin with, it's because you're worried about what people will think? Reading through all of this, there seems to be a lot of moving pieces, and a lot of misunderstandings based on all those pieces. Whether you have 1 baby or 10 with a man who has 1 baby or 10 is no one else's business. The question I have for you is, why does it matter? Are you prepared to care for this child? If so, then what does it matter what anyone thinks?
  8. High amount of IG followers is today's version of a movie star. It's akin to Clare Danes wanting to date you. You get to say, "My new girlfriend is Clare Danes". You get to say "My new girlfriend has 10,000 followers". Just as OLD has drastically changed, so has this social landscape. Heck, my friend's boyfriend forgot her birthday last year, which he said was because she's not on Facebook, which is how he gets birthday reminders. He is 70. Mind you, I am someone whose 12 followers include all my nieces, lol.
  9. From his perspective, a woman with a ton of followers is considered desirable, and his worth is tied up in how much his partner is desired by others. If his girlfriend has 10K followers, but she chooses him, he gets to pat himself on the back for being her chosen one. It’s not so different from the boys in school who want to date the popular Cheerleader, or the girls who want to date the cutest Quarterback. Let this go with the knowledge that his insecurity and shallowness are his shortcomings and his alone. And you go kickbox some ass!
  10. My condolences on your dad's passing. When my dad passed, it literally didn't matter to me what people said, just that they acknowledged it. Man people empathized by sharing their stories, and honestly, all that mattered to me was that they reached out in some way. It was such a whirlwind that I didn't even have time to think of why someone was saying something. Now, had you gone on and on about him, that might have been a bit annoying, but not block-worthy. And I don't think that's what you did. Who knows why she blocked you. People are funny. A co-worker with whom I've been friends for years blocked me. ???? She still calls me, she still asks about me, she still comes over to me at meetings. But she blocked me. WhatEV. Hold up your head, you did nothing wrong.
  11. I wasn't suggesting that the OP's mother sleep on the trifold, sorry if that sounded confusing. OP said she sleeps on the floor & gives her bed to mom. I was suggesting OP get the trifold for herself instead sleeping directly on the floor.
  12. LOL, sound like the one I'm talking about. Trifold, folds up neatly, apparently very comfy. And not expensive at all. I have a foam one that rolls up, and it's a workout to roll it back into its box, and when my nieces sleep over, it's such a chore, which is why I have this trifold one in my Saved items.
  13. So the update is....no update. Same ol', same ol'. We all have the same advice: quit, find another job, even if it means sweeping floors. We get it. She's awful. Check. ✅ In addition to all the other horrible things she does, she doesn't pay her employees on time. That's actually not your business; it's between them & her. If people want to work without getting paid on time, that's on them. If you want your paycheck on time, then you have every right to demand it. What I don't get is why you're allowing this to go on, 2+ months now?
  14. Agree with moving mom into assisted living, if that's financially feasible. If not, then yes, it's absolutely fair for your sister to ask you to assist. Just because your sister has a larger home does not mean she has to bear all responsibility here. Having an extra person in one's home nonstop is an intrusion, and I'm sure your sister would like a break now and then. It's actually not fair for you to question this. There are very inexpensive, very comfortable memory foam floor mattresses (Amazon has one for $89) that you can sleep on while you work together with your sister to assist mom in getting the dignity she deserves in her final years.
