WTF self. Quit coming up with excuses and just go work out. Today's train of thought: I should go to the gym. Meh... Why start working out right before the holidays with all their sweets. I'll save it for my New Years resolution. Meh... Why start working out during leggings and sweater season... Save it for spring. So I have successfully pushed my working out from tomorrow to march.
I just re-read my post and realized why I had to buy all new jeans last week. I didn't even pretend either, no packing away the skinny jeans, I dropped them off at the consigners this morning.

Now you'll be able to buy new ones when you lose the weight. Or you can just learn to love your body the way it is, and buy awesome jeans for that body.
WTF beef and barley stew. Why can't you do what you're supposed to do and taste good? What's with this meat, it's so hard, I'd have to be a wolf to eat it. Being a vegetarian for 15 years apparently made me unable to cook certain meats..
WTF chocolate cherry cookies. Why must you taste so good? I was supposed to eat the healthy soup and hide you in the freezer for my visit to my parents' next week.

Okay ladies, I talked with my H about the crazy aunt case. He said that in order to get her medical bills paid by the homeowners policy, the woman would have had to sue the kids parents as the owners of the house and therefore policy holders. It's possible the kid was named, but can't be sued directly as a minor. If anything he was listed to get to the mothers estate since she's dead. And the kid wouldn't have lost any inheritance because they likely were negotiating this before the mom died. The estate wouldn't pay anything out until all claims are settled. So long story short, the woman completely followed protocol here, it just sounds really shitty.
WTF world we live in. How can an aunt suing her eight year old nephew be protocol, and the right thing to do?
It's because you can't actually sue the insurance company to get your medical expenses covered. You have to sue the people that own the policy and then the insurance company covers the cost (unless the damages are above and beyond the policy limits, then they can recover against the policy holders). Again, you can't really sue a minor child anyway. Same would go for an auto accident in most cases too.
Yep, so the aunt and the boy were on the Today show this morning to clear all this up and it was the only way to get homeowners insurance to pay the medical bills. The boy still loves his aunt and she loves him. It was just a technicality.

Oh I have a new one to add
WTF friend? My friend's DS turned 2 yesterday. She also has a 5 year old daughter. Well, she posted pics of him opening a gift and in the photo her DD was also opening her own gift and her caption was "she got a present too because she's jealous". That is seriously so effed up. She needs to learn she won't be getting a gift whenever it's someone else's birthday. At 5, she should be able to understand that. I feel bad her DS is being overshadowed because his sister is spoiled.

My niece is like this at everyone's birthday. If it's not her day she's sooooo jealous. My birthday is the day after Christmas and I'm like, um didn't you just get an ass load of presents yesterday? Just to say, she is the most birthday jealous person I've ever encountered and she has never gotten as special gift. That's dumb.

That's not uncommon around here. It kind of bugs me because kids do have to learn that not everything is about them. These are usually the kids that try to unwrap other kids presents at birthday parties.
MIL got Eliza a book for Hanna's party. But for V's birthday I didn't get either kid a gift. They just helped her open hers and V was ok with that. I think age is a huge factor for me. After a certain age, they need to learn that it's the other person's birthday and they don't get a gift. Instead we watch them. When they start visiting friends' birthday parties is she going to send a gift along? I would laugh my ass off as the parent of that friend.

I can't believe I forgot to tell you girls this...
We went to a birthday party, about a month ago, for a three year old. The parents of another guest got a toy for the birthday girl and some clothes. They also got the same toy they got for the birthday girl FOR EVERY SINGLE TODDLER AT THE PARTY. Yes, we came home with a 15$ gift for Tumaini, not from the people holding the party, but from another guest who didn't want her daughter to feel left out, or the other kids at the party.

That is ridiculous. How about just teach your kid it is not their day? This does not need to become a thing.
My nephews are awful with presents. My SIL had to send them home early with her H at DS2's 1st birthday party because they were losing their shit over the presents.

barefoot84, Oh hell no! If someone did that at Tyler's party I would have asked them to leave. Not your party to throw, bitch. There were some kids at some of Tyler's parties that wouldn't back away and let him open his gifts, and I had to be the one to make them back away. So annoying. Come on parents, this is like parental code.
aimeefarrahfowler, at least she made them leave instead of giving them one.

At my boys' birthday party (they are 3 and 1) my inlaws gave my niece & nephew (not related to my MIL) a card each with $ (I think $5 each) because she didn't want them to feel left out. My niece and nephew are 7.5 and 5, so old enough to understand it isn't their turn to get presents. It was weird (and while sweet, not necessary), but the fact MIL signed the cards "Grandma" and actively tries to get my niece and nephew (again, no relation to her) to treat her like their grandma made it even more awkward.

I agree. I have a friend who is having her 3rd. I am getting her a small gift for the new baby. The last time we were hanging out she made some comment about how the other kids need gifts to so they feel included. Umm what? They are 4 and 1.5 yo. I told my H that was not happening. I am getting one small gift, not three.
Freya doesn't like the car either!!! She doesn't necessarily scream the whole time but it won't put her to sleep so she gets bored or tired THEN starts screaming. I don't know what to do bc it stresses me and poor Dagny out but we have to go places! We are supposed to drive 2.5 hours north to see some of H's family in 2 weeks and I'm terrified.
Yes. I don't know what to do. We try a paci, we try a mirror, we try to sing. Nothing seems to help. I agree with you it stresses all of us out. We don't end up going many places. It was so different with E. She loved the car and usually feel asleep.
GL on your drive. I hope Freya cooperates.
Have you tried a DVD players with a baby Einstein movie? It might distract her enough that she won't get so upset. My girls loved the lullaby one. We used to make a 90 minute drive at least once a week (often 2-3) and it was a great help.

Chelsea got small gifts from a few people when Avery was born. Most were from friends that had young children themselves. She was just shy of 2 at the time. I appreciated the thought but I'd never expect it. We did get her several "congratulations you're a big sister" gifts.
