trtlcrzy Thank you for sharing with us. We def don't think you are a bitch. I think everybody here that is following this story is praying for all three of her kids.
In my defense, the shop requests that everything be brought in clean, ironed and laid flat.
But yes, I would probably iron them regardless. ☺️
Eta: I'm sure this surprises no one but in high school I would get up early to iron my clothes and uniform for crew regattas. I really think I was a bit OCD. Believe it or not, my standards have relaxed slightly since then, courtesy of parenthood.
I didn't have crew regattas, lol, but I did have a uniform for school. Since I also took a PT job working the counter at a dry cleaners, I had my uniforms cleaned and pressed by them. I understand where you're coming from on the OCD part and wanting clothes to look perfect and crisp. So this was a great benefit!
trtlcrzy I'm so sorry. I feel for your sister/BIL but I *really* feel for the older two children. I don't think you sound like a bitch, just concerned and frustrated.
JoeLies Where are you off to in May for 9-10 nights? Hopefully somewhere fun!
San Diego. I have a work conference for 3-4 days, so DH is coming along and we're stretching it out. DH grew up out there and has friends there now. The logistics of the trip are crazy though, with our parents swapping back and forth so no one gets overwhelmed.

@peachsmama that picture brought a tear to my eye. So sweet.
trtlcrzy you're not being a bitch. Your sisters in an absolutely shitty and heartbreaking situation, but she still has two other kids to care about.. if it ends up being money I'm more than happy to send some of Landon's clothes her way.
I skipped the gym this morning because I was one the phone with Verizon for an hour, but I FINALLY was able to get an early upgrade and get a new iPhone! I ended up with the new red one, only because it had a deal going on. It should be here Tuesday and I'm so excited to have a phone that holds a charge and doesn't have a shattered screen!
I spent the morning shopping with ry and dh and I are having a Redbox and takeout night tonight. Nice way to end the week!

trtlcrzy, you aren't being a bitch. I get how your sister could be overwhelmed and neglecting responsibilities, but not seeing your kids in a month and not making sure they have what they need are a whole other story. When things with O do wind down the whole family going to have such a hard time going back to their normal lives.
Your sister and her kids are so lucky to have you and your sisters.
Also, my sisters and my initals are (in order) JKJK. I also have a sister who has always gotten everything and can be frustrating, she has gotten way better since having a kid though.

trtlcrzy, so sorry about the situation your family is in. I hope your sis starts focusing on her other kids more soon. Coincidentally, my sisters and I sure also JKLM. Only the age order is MKLJ.
@peachsmama, I'm Jack's okay. I can't imagine how freaked I'd be. Give him all the ice cream.
trtlcrzy, Like others have said, it's a terrible situation your sister is in and I'm so glad you and your sisters are there for the kids. We're hear to vent to.
wedding, what a headache for yh. I hope the program rebounds quickly.
@peachsmama I'm so glad he and you are ok. So scary!
I think you should take him into the dr if his face is swelling. They can put him on antibiotics to make sure there's no infection. Better safe than sorry. This happened to Sam's bff about a month ago and it was just a small bite on his ear. It wound up getting infected and the situation got much worse bc of that.
