- Toddler Sort of sad. Brother turning 50 and sil not doing a party. I know he'd love one. We've talked.
- throw him one!
- do NOT! so oversteps bounds. if you have some money, perhaps you could arrange a trip for bro, sil, dh, and you somewhere nice.
- He can have his own party if he wants one
- Exactly
- so offer to have it at your house
- If oyu want to throw him one, make sure you work with the sil on it and don't leave her out
- Nfw
- why nfw?
- Sil. No.
- why nfw?
- Nfw
- did you ask your sil about it? if not - offer to help or host at your place or wahtever just make sure she is as involved as she wants to be
- ha! sil really wants to throw dh a 50 and i know he doesn't want one. funny how that goes.
- throw him one!

- Toddler Friend doesn't eat after 5:30 p.m. Holy frickin' control.
- It makes a huge difference.
- Yes. She is quite thin.
- 5:30? 8:00 I could get on board with, but who is able to prepare and eat dinner by 5:30??
- She eats before hand. Sits down with family and will eat a vegetable of some kind just to "seem normal" (her words)
- she puts looks before life. kind of sad.
- t was me but 5 pm. Lost 60 pounds years ago by doing stuff like that
- ^^ive maintained for years now eating more like a normal person. But toget rid of the weight, yeah
- why not make that rule after dinner? can we say E.D.?
- you don't think that avoiding dinner is a sign of ED. then what the heck is?
- op I think so too. I'm worried. That said, I also can see now why she looks the way she does.
- I used to do after 6-6:30 (dinner). Now I have morning sickness and have to eat all the time. Hate that
- you get used to it.
- i am hungry then, prefer to eat early. if i wait until later, i stop being hungry. but will often eat because that is when dh is home or social events.
- Poor lady doesn't exercise. If she did, she wouldn't have to be so restrictive.
- no...she does
- How can she possibly be healthy? Does she have dinner at 4?
- you could eat at 5. doesn't take 90 minutes to eat dinner
- How can she possibly be healthy? Does she have dinner at 4?

- Toddler I don't really believe in therapy - FOR ME - I think it's helped tons of people, and I don't read self-help books at all, b/c I don't think they're helpful to me. My sister s...(more)
- just b/c it's not your style doesn't mean it wouldn't help you
- But that is such a weird thing to say. Like, it's just not me. Like I would never get a tattoo - that isn't my style. This feels like the same thing...
- Not really. Considering how many therapist and therapy approaches there are out there, it seems rather closed
- no. it's more like an alcoholic saying they don't need help. they can quit on their own
- Therapy = Tattoo? Mmkay
- But that is such a weird thing to say. Like, it's just not me. Like I would never get a tattoo - that isn't my style. This feels like the same thing...
- she's trying to tell you that you are a PITA and she wishes you would change
- IME people with this attitude would often benefit from it most
- well, if you're happy then don't worry about it
- If you're contented with your life and your relationships are good, than no problem whatsoever.
- np I am like op in this regard. I am also self aware and thoughtful about myself. I know myself well. And, yes, my life has crazy shit in it
- just b/c it's not your style doesn't mean it wouldn't help you

- i know - but I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow so I'm just going to have to deal.
- You will be fine
- i know - but I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow so I'm just going to have to deal.
- no shame. Every fashionista I know wears birks here and there.
- birkis are cute and you won't need foot surgery later
- sandals arent walking shoes
- Your feet thank you

- she will put her house back together afterwards
- Venue? Wtf
- she's paying the mortgage?
- it's actually a family house that she doesn't pay for. There's a staff to clean after we leave.
- All I get from this is that you use the term 'friend' too loosely.
- good friends!
- Her home isn't a venue
- deal with it or don't go. you sound rather ungracious, IMO.
- eh, don't judge. not my style, but who knows what's going on
- Just because she says to bring booze doesn't mean she won't have some too.

- aussies are more aggressive, bc's are smarter so they need more mental stimulation.
- aggressive in what way? i have an aussie, very high energy, i do not see aggression though (np)
- border collies herd by barking, aussies herd by nipping. or they're supposed to. so if an aussie gets bored and neurotic, they often get bitey.
