I have not disappeared. I accidentally elbowed my daughter last night. She was hysterical. MOTY! She had a welt under her eye this morning where I hit her.
I accidentally took my husband and I to a "happy ending parlor." It was down the street from our house when we lived by DC and I was clearly naive in thinking those places didn't exist. I didn't realize it until I met my "massage therapist" and she didn't speak English. I also heard the man next to me enjoying his massage way more than any spa I've ever been at. I finished about 5 minutes before H and was waiting in the lobby for him. He came out bright red, paid the lady, and said we need to leave now! We had to drive by that place every day and I never let him live it down lol.
Drew fell out of his RnP @ 4 am yesterday because I didn't strap him in! Cue all the guilt & tears. He was fine, no bumps, bruises or scrapes. I on the other hand can't get the image of him on the floor, in the dark crying because he was scared out of my head. I keep playing worst case scenario over & over too just for the extra mind fuck. Like, what if he was knocked unconscious from hitting his head & we didn't find him for hours. Stupid brain!

I hoard tissue paper and gift bags. I neatly fold and organize the tissue paper so that it takes up less room and doesn't look used and I sort the bags by occasion and who gave them to me. I'm very careful not to wrap a gift for anyone with the bag that they originally gave me or to use a bag that is not in good shape.
It kind of pisses me off a little when I get the same bag twice, especially if it's all banged up by the time I get it back. Like this one time I used a bag to give my mom a gift and then I got a gift at my baby shower from her friend, but by then the bag was torn and missing a handle. Wtf lol take some pride in your regifted wrapping please

HAHA I SO do this!! Its my way of going green
Who doesn't save gift bags. I dont care if I get it back though. My mom and I do that shit back and fourth all the time. But the lady that gave it to you and it was not use-able. Uhh no. Also tissue paper? Come on girl that shit's a dollar
Sometimes I get weirded out when notches talk about details of their sex lives. Especially if I've seen pictures of their partners.
I talk about it too, so it's stupid. I know. I think maybe it's just the detailed info? Like I'm fine with hearing "I banged my H yesterday." But when someone gets more detailed I always cringe a bit.
I watch all the Teen Mom/16 and pregnant shows and Mob Wives. I even watch Keeping up with the Kardashians. Such guilty pleasures. When off with baby I caught up on all my back episodes.

Oh no! That's so scary..glad he's all right. And try to let yourself off the hook..easier said than done I know. I'd be the same way. Give him lots of hugs today.

ha, agreed its a little weird. BOTH of my SILs do this and talk about my step brother and my BIL - I am like you need to stop with that shit, its nasty and I don't want to hear that shit from anyone especially you!

This happened yesterday morning & I'm still beating myself up about it. After it happened I pulled him into bed with me & snuggled for a couple of hours. He's been his happy normal self, I just need to let it go!
My dads estranged step family has had a rough few weeks. Back story reminder--my dads step bro (76)passed away. The next day a step niece (40)passed away. A few days after the funerals a step great nephew(27) was in a terrible car accident and has been in a coma since. He passed away yesterday.
Now on FB there is a gofundme for medical expenses (not set up by the family). I'm totally side-eyeing this because I'm sure drugs & alcohol were involved. Also, his 19yr old passenger was dead at the scene. What about her? There's no mention of her in the gfm.

I just can't with some of these GFM pages, especially if it is someone outside of the family setting it up. I have seen to many people doing this, just to get what they can out of people.
I had a cousin, set up a GFM page for funeral expenses for someone he wasn't even related to. The funeral expense were already fully covered. Person was a highly decorated military officer with amazing benefits and was very sick for a long time, so he was well prepared. Turns out the "friend of the family I will call him" had promised my cousin money for a vacation, and when this guy died he had no access to the money, so he set up a GFM page under guise of paying for the funeral expenses.
But! I would never say that a family didn't need help and support after their child died in an accident because drugs and/or alcohol were involved. Two VERY separate issues.

Some of this is just super shady
That's messed up!
Honestly, I can't help but side eye pretty much all GFMs, even the ones that seem legit. You never know which ones are real and which ones are just trying to exploit a tragedy. It's a shame.

in fact, I will go a step further and say that a family dealing with this probably needs MORE support. From experience, the parents have so much guilt for not "catching" it. And people do judge and stay away. It's so, so isolating. This super struck a nerve with me today.

I totally agree with you on this. But I do think that there's a big difference between providing emotional support to the family and someone outside of the family asking for financial support via GFM. I think this is more what KMW08 was referring to, or at least that's how I read it.
Still, the fact that drugs and alcohol were involved shouldn't really matter in terms of the families involved. They still lost someone close to them and you're right, there is likely a stronger guilt factor there.

I think there's something wrong with an outsider asking or doing anything for the family- but I would feel that way in any scenario. The mention of "side-eyeing because..." linked it. But I know KMW enough to know that's not how she meant it which is why I didn't tag her. I just had to say it.

Sorry for not being a bit more clear. As staryb said - I meant it towards the person outside of the fam asking for the financial support and for not mentioning the deceased passenger.
I get annoyed (and a little excited too) when they suddenly pop in for the good UOs and FFFCs or on the very rare occasion that we get a troll. Like who sent out the bat signal that PB was worth visiting those days?
