Agreed. Plus, as shopping sprees go, this was tame!

Yes. He even mentions that Mike used OOP not bringing BF to Mike and sister's wedding....I hate fake rape stories. Seems to make light of people who actually suffer rape.

Today in CA (high COL city), I bought 1.5 lb large shrimp, 2 large bottles of Topo Chico, 1 large bottle of Pure iced tea, 1 large bag of granola, a bag of corn chips, jar of cocktail sauce 1 lb of cut up cantaloupe, 2 containers of Greek yogurt, 2 danishes, and 2 pre made sandwiches.

I spent $56 bucks.

The timelines always give them away. What did it for me was military offering "early retirement ".

My husband was like that with his mom. It took a while for him to see. Keep pointing it out to him - but matter of factly. (And a gentle it's etc - short for et cetera)

I am surprised company didn't fire him. Perhaps that's why he wanted Op to quit

I predict dad will be bemoaning the fact that OP didn't invite him to his wedding and won't let him see his grandkids.

A person has a right not to want someone they dislike at a wedding (it would be different if Amanda was brother's SO). Brother should have dropped it. Now he likely lost GF and Amanda will set him aside until someone else has him again. Dad and mom aren't boycotting her wedding.

100% agree, as I am sure most will. Sam is being sneaky. He knows OP's dad won't back him up.

Yeah. It almost seems like OP should have shared letter with SIL'S boss

My guess is that is his plan. Sm would not be so desperate if she were less than a year from having it all. Will dad also help pay for YOUR college?

Yeah. Do let dad know she is bugging you about this. I am sure she is doing it behind dad's back.

I had a friend whose SM was always trying to get her to stop gymnastics (she ended up with a full college scholarship and competed at a D1 school). She cried poverty and said dad was a wreck over it.

She went to her dad and he was furious as he had plenty set aside for her classes (her late mom was a promising gymnast, but had to stop because of money). Seems SM wanted some grand European vacation her friends were taking.

Karma moment....SM thought when friend got full scholarship, dad would give HER the friend's college fund. Dad said it was her money-she earned it.

She likely spoke up, but to dad's credit, keeping a relationship with his son was more important
