- Toddler This post has been disliked 3 times. Well, tried to have a come-to-Jesus with dd, her best friend, and my sister about marrying the nice guy with whom she feels absolutely no chemistry. No change.
- Disliking seems a little harsh, no?
- IIRC the OP was thrilled her dd had "accepted an offer of marriage" from a nice, good provider
- Noooooooooo. I'm really worried.
- IIRC the OP was thrilled her dd had "accepted an offer of marriage" from a nice, good provider
- how old is she?
- 31
- so she'll be divorced in 3 yrs. nothing you can do but wait it out
- who wants to do this?
- My daughter.
- what is she hoping to gain from this marriage? are you sure there's no chemistry or is she just not "in love"
- stability and a family, I suppose. She appreciates and admires him. I think she thinks that could be love.
- i'm in the minority but i think everything you are saying makes for a more stable marriage than chemistry
- maybe to her that is. not everyone has to feel wild attraction.
- stability and a family, I suppose. She appreciates and admires him. I think she thinks that could be love.
- what is she hoping to gain from this marriage? are you sure there's no chemistry or is she just not "in love"
- My daughter.
- DD is marrying someone she has no chem with? Why? What are her reasons?
- He's a nice guy, he adores her, he's reliable, kind, responsible. He's going to be a great dad. He earns quite well. All true, by the way.
- and she just tells everyone she has no chemistry? or you all think that?
- Just me. She confided in me.
- so you went and told her best friend and her sister and staged an intervention? an excellent mother moment for you
- Just me. She confided in me.
- when you say no chemistry, what does that mean?
- She doesn't find him attractive like she has other boyfriends.
- do they have a physical relationship?
- She lies back and thinks of England.
- I don't think the person you marry is necessarily the one you are most attracted to out of all youBFs
- i think she should NOT marry someone because that person wants to get married. other than that, i'm not hearing anything here that concerns me. maybe your concern is misplaced?
- do they have a physical relationship?
- She doesn't find him attractive like she has other boyfriends.
- Butt out!
- well, she's getting a good dad for the children I assume she wants to have since she's feeling that biological clock ticking.
- Could be worse
- and she just tells everyone she has no chemistry? or you all think that?
- She’s 31.
- He's a nice guy, he adores her, he's reliable, kind, responsible. He's going to be a great dad. He earns quite well. All true, by the way.
- Is he wealthy and kind at least?
- Very on both.
- She is 31? This is not your call
- Oh. Of course not. She's a big girl. We were just offering advice.
- I'm sure she's thrilled LOLOL
- Oh. Of course not. She's a big girl. We were just offering advice.
- does he know how she feels? does she?
- He does not. He'd be heartbroken. She does. She told me.
- I think I could live with this if he knew how I felt. pretending I was in love when I just wanted the companionship and security and stability would feel gross and exhausting.
- He does not. He'd be heartbroken. She does. She told me.
- trying again here, since op won't answer above: did you stage an intervention with other people after your dd confided just with you? wow.
- Disliking seems a little harsh, no?
- Toddler My dd is in 5th grade and some of her classmates look like full grown women and others look like second graders still
- this didn't really happen to mine until 6th but nyc publics have a later cutoff. now she's in 7th and basically is the only one of her friends who doesn't have her period yet
- Yes we have September cut off
- yeah well
- yup, this is my experience too. Especially towards the end of the school year.
- My DD was the 2nd grader in that scenario and now she's taller than all her friends who looked like full grown women. Puberty is weird.
- I think that’s the better scenario
- That’s puberty for you
- As my mom always says: Everyone is different
- That makes sense for 8th grade.

- no. They don't have pretty shelves and they don't have as many registers. A lot of self checkout.

- Lidl is superior to Aldi. I say this as somebody who defends Aldi all the time on YBM.

- never liked those. i'd bring my own throw and baby pillow
- I only wear kn95 or similar on planes.
- those are bad
- for a mask? might as well not wear one
- They don’t work
- Not sure that all airlines accept those as masks. We just did some 16 hr flights. It’s not that bad.
- Ventillation system on planes is GREAT, I wore a surgical mask for 6 hour flights to/from Alaska and it was perfectly comfortable.

- They are often not accepted where there is a mask mandate.
