Yapping!
Erika:Hello. This is Erika.
Edgar:Edgar.
Darielys:And Dave.
Erika:And we are the Yapping's loungers. We entertain you with Yatworthy stories we find around the web. So today, I really just cleaned a little bit. I showered one of my dogs and shaved her, and she looks beautiful.
Edgar:Did you shave, Maya's eyebrows?
Erika:No. They didn't get to yet. They just, Selina. Where is she? Lyla.
Erika:Now you can see their eyes because they're huge
Darielys:and little eyebrows.
Erika:Mhmm. Are
Darielys:you Bella's right there?
Erika:Yeah. She blends in.
Darielys:I don't know. I was looking for her.
Erika:She always blend all the dogs blend into our furniture, and so it's hard to find them sometimes.
Edgar:Especially Lila.
Darielys:Yeah. Lila's gray.
Edgar:And our carpet is gray.
Erika:And our, like, sofa stuff in the front is gray too.
Edgar:Mhmm.
Erika:So she blends in quite well. How about you, babe?
Edgar:Today, it was, like, pretty chill. I was just planning for the rest of the week. And in the past week, I just did, like, a lot of work with all our, things that we have going on.
Erika:Alright, Dave. How about you, Dave?
Darielys:I just studied all day for my test tomorrow. I studied, like, 3 to 4 chapters all day.
Edgar:What's your test about?
Darielys:The urinary system, the reproductive system.
Edgar:Wait. Is this anatomy too or whatever?
Darielys:Yeah. Like all that.
Edgar:Yeah. Or if you need
Darielys:And something else. Something like fluid and electrolytes something. I don't know.
Edgar:That's all I know about electrolysis power rating.
Darielys:No, dude. Not not that.
Erika:No. The brain electrolytes.
Darielys:Yeah. Well Yeah.
Edgar:What's the difference?
Erika:Yeah. Kinda. It goes Yeah.
Darielys:It goes, like, all over here. Yes. Yeah. Dude, what do you mean what's the difference? There's a huge
Edgar:difference. And
Erika:Okay. Edgar. Yeah. Alright. So the stories for this episode is in laws.
Erika:And the first one goes, am I the asshole for weighing my in laws' wishes too literally? I sent my in laws an invitation for dinner. We superly thought it would be nice if it came from me. Religious greeting, husband, was thinking of inviting you next weekend. God willing.
Erika:Would that work for you or do you have other plans? 10 minutes later, father-in-law called my husband to tell him they wished the message had been longer and warmer. Husband agreed to let me know that for next time. The next day, father-in-law called again over something else. Husband used the opportunity to point out they still hadn't replied to my message.
Erika:Father-in-law told them they would not be replying to me until I fixed it and made it warmer. They also pointed out that at my job, I have adopted a certain tone to be perceived as professional. This is the same in a family context. Since they wanted me to adopt the same strategies I use at work, I figured I use chatgpt to get frustrating tasks out of the way as quickly as possible. I showed the AI my original message, told it my in laws' complaints, and told it to be rewrite it as super warmly as if they were perfect, insert ethnicity, daughter-in-law.
Erika:It came up with absolutely ridiculous message with emojis everywhere. I copied, pasted, and sent it right after my last left unread invitation. Husband sent it with me, and it this was okay with it. I first suggested to him I could write a genuine message about my grievances here, but he pointed out that I did so over another petty complaint months ago, and it led nowhere. We decided to go with the chat GPT message minus some of the emojis.
Erika:Father-in-law works in with AI. I have no doubt he can tell this is chat GPT. Even my mother-in-law will know there is no way either husband or I wrote this. I do kind of feel guilty about the mess the passive aggressiveness of a response. There's a very obvious culture context here.
Erika:I understand my culture seems cool to them the way theirs seem over the top to me. But as God is my witness, I have unsuccessfully tried everything else to communicate with them. They have ignored the new message, no phone call to husband, and I don't want this to go nuclear. I just want them to say sure. See you next week and pretend to tolerate my my cooking.
Erika:Am I the asshole?
Darielys:Over an invitation? Yeah. I can't.
Edgar:I think everyone Oh my god. That family is very petty.
Darielys:It's an invitation. Mhmm.
Erika:It's ridiculous. This should not be so ridiculous.
Edgar:What religion they were? Or I just imagine this is so very strict and uptight.
Erika:I don't know. They I mean, she say god willing and stuff like that, but still, I don't know. It seems that she didn't
Edgar:You probably look sensitive, but
Darielys:say it warmly. Is it, like, do because of the the way the invitation is ran or, like, the food that they're gonna be, like you know what I mean?
Edgar:It was a I think there was more about the tone of the wife or the OP.
Erika:Yeah. It was, it wasn't warm enough.
Edgar:I see. This is their invitation, and then they were upset. Okay. The invitation being insert blank, insert religious greeting. Was thinking of inviting you next weekend, god willing.
Edgar:Would that work for you, or do you have other plans? Which is, like, pretty, like, neutral. It has a very neutral thing to do.
Darielys:Yeah. It's like
Edgar:Like, oh, you guys coming, or are you guys gonna be busy?
Erika:Oh, it's not like the what you want. Can you please consider Yeah. Like, back then. It would be, my it would make my day to be able to cook for you or something. I'm like, that is so extra.
Erika:And that's what she says. I feel like they're over the top and they think I'm cold. Like Yeah. They get They
Darielys:just wanna bake. Yeah. Like
Erika:That's ridiculous. The top comment is if someone told me to reinvite them in more pleasant manner or they would they wouldn't respond, I would never again invite them anywhere until they responded to the original invite. I wouldn't be rude about it. I just ignore them until they responded. Not the asshole.
Erika:Yeah. I mean, I get it because she can't do that because they're in laws.
Darielys:Yeah. But
Erika:dang. I mean, her husband knows that this is not gonna go anywhere. It's not the first time it's happened either.
Edgar:So
Erika:I I don't get why he doesn't say anything to his wife. To his parents. Right?
Edgar:Yeah.
Erika:I know. I can't. What would you do? What do you think you would say in that situation, Dave?
Darielys:Like if I was the one that sent that message? Yeah. If I was the one that sent that message and they were like, oh you have to be
Erika:a little warmer or whatever.
Darielys:I would just like leave them on like open or whatever. Like I would just look at the message and be like okay. Like I I wouldn't know what to do. Like I wouldn't respond to them either because I'd be like This is the office situation. Yeah?
Darielys:Like what do you want me to do? Like re invite you? No. I already invited you. Like, if you didn't like my invitation, then don't come.
Darielys:Like, I don't know what you want me to do.
Edgar:At the end, they we invited them again using, like, a a AI generated thing and
Darielys:chat thing.
Edgar:Yeah. They didn't respond to that either. So, like, I didn't even
Darielys:need a Like, emojis make things better. Mhmm. But, like Yeah. I think the way they said it was fine. I don't Yeah.
Erika:That was my necessity. Right?
Edgar:Oh my Mhmm. It's like,
Darielys:if you didn't wanna go, just say you don't wanna go. Don't say invite me in a nicer way. Just just say you don't wanna go. Yeah.
Edgar:Excuse us. We, all the dogs were, like, going crazy all at the same time.
Erika:Yeah. We
Edgar:Yeah. Betty, came to pick up or to pick up some stuff in Maya.
Erika:Yes. So Mhmm. You know, all the dogs got excited.
Edgar:Yeah. And now Bella is on Erica's lap. Yeah. And Lila was on Dave's lap.
Darielys:She was getting tangled with the cord.
Edgar:The crazy one, of course.
Erika:She's not much of staying still. I couldn't.
Darielys:I was like, oh, no.
Edgar:She still wants to get back up here now.
Darielys:I know, but she's moving too much, and she's gets tangled.
Edgar:You're too cute. But, yeah, we'll go to the next story, which is titled, am I the asshole for leaving my in law's house with my daughter after she told me she was feeling uncomfortable? I, male, 37, have been with my fiance, female, 37, for 2 years. We're getting married soon. I've only met our family a couple of times.
Edgar:My daughter, Judy, a female 16 year old, has never met them till very recently where they hosted dinner to celebrate the 4th July, and that's when they met her for the first time. Judy has a visible burn scar on her forehead. It was due to an accident she was in when she was 9. She used to be incredibly insecure about it to the point where I was forced to homeschool her, and it was hard trying to deal with it and navigate through the stuff time. Now she's doing a lot better through some comments.
Edgar:Can't really cause her to become stressed out and anxious. My fiance knows all that and respects it. Before we went to her parents' house, I asked her to tell them about Judy and her struggles and get to try and not say anything negative about it or possibly not even mention it at all. She said she would guarantee no one would say anything. We got to the event and I talked to Judy and she slowly warmed up to them.
Edgar:Everything was going well until, it was dinner time. My father and mother-in-law looked at Judy while she was eating and pointed at her scar, basically asking questions about it, which made Judy lose her appetite and start to get uncomfortable. I kept sending my fiance and her mom's sons to knock it off, but to no avail. Finally, my fiance's mother-in-law then brought up the wedding and asked my fiance if it'd be possible to Photoshop the scar out of any wedding photos that would have Judy in them just in case they distract yours. I was dumbfounded.
Edgar:My fiance said nothing. It just stared casually while nodding. I looked at Judy, and it was clear that it's got to her. I leaned closer and asked if she was feeling uncomfortable and that we can leave if the answer was yes. She took her time, then nodded and said, yes.
Edgar:I'm feeling uncomfortable right now. I got up and told her to get ready because we were leaving. My fiance, her mom, and the family started insisting we finish dinner and stay, but I refused. I took Judy and got in the car and left before even, talking to my fiance. Obviously, she was pissed.
Edgar:She called and was angry, talking about how I disrespected her and her parents by taking Judy and leaving in the middle of dinner and not even saying goodbye. I just told her that Judy was feeling uncomfortable with, her my mother in law's comments and questions, And she said Judy overreacted and is in need to go back to therapy if a simple mention of her scar caused her to react that way. I got tired of arguing and asked her to give us some time, but she went on me and said I have no respect for her for her family. And that what I did was irrational, and now she won't speak to me till I clear things up with her family after ruining this celebratory dinner. So am I the asshole?
Darielys:No. Mm-mm.
Edgar:I mean yeah. Not at all.
Erika:He gave them chances to stop that, and they decided not to. So it's
Darielys:not like he just got up from, like, the first time that they did it. He was literally telling them to, like, stop doing that because it's literally making her uncomfortable, and they decided to keep doing it. So no.
Edgar:Yeah. And in the comments about, like, oh, can we photoshop the scar out of wedding photos is, like, very, like that that was, like, uncalled for, especially, like, in front of Judy.
Darielys:Oh my god. I think
Erika:it's the worst part is that the soon mother stepmother for her literally agreed Yeah. Of what they were saying.
Edgar:Mhmm. She
Erika:didn't say no or, you know, you maybe we should change the subject or, you know, may you know, maybe we shouldn't talk about this now. You know? Or defend her. Anything.
Edgar:Mhmm.
Erika:But she said nothing.
Edgar:Yeah. I find, like, not good for the relationship, like OP's daughter and, the fiance.
Erika:Exactly. The top comment is your fiance has shown her true colors. She doesn't, in fact, care about your daughter. If she did, she wouldn't have realized that your father and mother in law's suggesting you photoshop out of the scar so it doesn't distract is hella insulting. If I were you, rethink wedding and that family, they owe you and Judy an apology, not the other way around, not the asshole.
Edgar:Yeah. We agree.
Erika:And I feel like sometimes I don't know if this is always true, but you will, like, mention something to your family and then your family will ask your significant other about something you're uncomfortable bringing up yourself. Like, what if it's something that that's how she feels like? You don't talk? You know what I mean?
Darielys:Yeah. I feel bad at the what is it? His fiance? Was it the fiance that told her that she needed a who was it? That she needed to, like, go back to therapy?
Edgar:Oh, yeah. Yeah. And she
Darielys:said she's getting, like, too offended because of the scar. Girl, that's messy. I know.
Edgar:It's so messed up to happen because,
Darielys:like, what do you mean? That's that's that's, like, another reason why, like, they're not even, like you know what I mean? Exactly.
Erika:They're not Yeah. I don't think she cares about the daughter at all.
Edgar:No. It doesn't get I think I feel like if anything, like, her being okay with, you know, like, backing backing up the OP or her daughter just shows that he she probably agrees with everything. You know? Like, she doesn't like how the scar looks. She thinks it's distracting.
Edgar:It's just, like, all that stuff. Yeah.
Erika:It's something that she wanted to say, but she couldn't because, obviously, it would offend her husband and her soon daughter-in-law.
Edgar:Oh, I
Erika:mean, don't what? Daughter, stepdaughter.
Edgar:Stepdaughter. Yeah. Stepdaughter.
Erika:Yeah. She's I think he should definitely seriously rethink marrying her and then to that family.
Edgar:Mhmm. Unless they, like, apologize, of course, but, yeah, it's it's still a lot.
Erika:Yeah. Okay. So the third story is, am I the asshole for going home after my in laws excluded me from excluded me from dinner at a restaurant? I, female 26, went on a family trip with my in laws 2 weeks ago. Mother-in-law always thought that I am a bit ignorant and backward, and that just because I come from a lower class family compared to hers, that I have no etiquette.
Erika:After we arrived at the hotel, they arranged to visit a fancy restaurant for dinner. My husband avoided telling me, and I learned it last minute, after he already got dressed. I asked where he was going, and he said he and the family were going to eat out, but I wasn't invited because his mom assumed that since I wouldn't be familiar with the food and how to eat it at the restaurant, then it's better for me to stay in and eat at the hotel. I didn't argue. I just let him go, then packed and took the first flight home.
Erika:He freaked out and called me many times when he found out that I went home. He blew up and called me ridiculous and irrational. Even said that I acted in an ungrateful manner and embarrassed him in front of his family after he literally begged to have me to go on the trip. We argued and he started giving me the silent treatment after he came home. Moreover, his family are indirectly criticizing me on Facebook about what I did.
Erika:Did I overreact? What do you guys think?
Edgar:How
Darielys:are okay. So he wanted her to go. Yeah. But they didn't invite her to eat? How does that make sense?
Erika:Yeah. Because apparently, the the restaurant was too fancy for her.
Edgar:Unless what she'd be like Popeye's?
Erika:I I doubt that,
Edgar:but yes. Like, their her hair was probably, like, boring. Oh, she didn't know how to eat, like, a wings. Didn't know how to bite into the bone.
Darielys:So it's, like, every word that they're gonna eat is gonna be fancy, so she's not gonna be invited?
Edgar:Because I feel like I get the sense that they just think very low of her for whatever reason. Yeah. It looks like maybe economic reasons.
Erika:Yeah. But,
Darielys:like, that shouldn't matter. It's just food.
Edgar:I know.
Darielys:Yeah. Honestly, fancy food isn't even that good either anyways.
Edgar:Yeah. They're overpriced and under portioned.
Darielys:Exactly. No. Like, Edgar says some Popeye's.
Erika:I I I don't really care. As long as the food is good. It doesn't matter if it's a 5 star restaurant or $1,000. If the food is good, it's good. Mhmm.
Erika:It doesn't matter.
Darielys:Mhmm.
Erika:Yeah. I I honestly feel like he definitely disrespected her as well. He literally just exclude he knew that they were gonna exclude her for the dinner and didn't say anything to her. Or didn't say, well, if she's not going, I'm not going because they're a partner. You know?
Erika:They're a partnership. So if she doesn't go, he doesn't go. And if he doesn't stop this now, they're gonna continue to exclude her for a lot of things. Oh my god.
Darielys:Why is the mom, like, why is his mom assuming stuff for her She assumed that she didn't know how to eat the stuff or, like, know about it and stuff like that. That like like, that makes no sense. It's it's just because of her class, basically.
Erika:Yeah. It's like, oh, she doesn't know that type
Darielys:of food. Let's not invite her. She can just eat in the hotel by herself. But it's a you guys all went together. Everybody should go regardless if you know the food or not.
Erika:Yeah. Especially if it's a family thing. Like, for example, let's say, if it was just her and her husband, that's fine. We don't they don't have to go to that. But if it's a family thing, everybody should go.
Erika:I would've left. I would've left too. I'd be like, bye. I broke up with his ass too because there is no way I'm gonna be in this type of relationship with this type of family. By.
Erika:There is edits, though, and people were asking about the the food. He said he didn't even mention what type of food they order. So we never know what it was. So that she can't eat or she was not adequate enough to eat those the type of food. And then edit 2 says, the family didn't plan on having me come along, but my husband said he begged them to invite me.
Erika:This isn't just me with me. My brother in law's girlfriend was invited as well. And then edit 3, they paid for my expenses, so I didn't want to act like I'm I'm being needy or something. But still, I I still feel like there was no reason for her not to get invited.
Darielys:No. She should've gone. I mean,
Edgar:from the because it says that the other sister in law's, like, probably were invited either. So I imagine it's, like, maybe just a family thing, and they just have, like, a terrible reason not to, add them.
Erika:I guess. Mhmm. But then why invite her anyways?
Edgar:Because the the He begged them. Husband was begging or whatever.
Erika:Yeah. Yeah. But then why invite her then exclude her?
Edgar:Yeah. It's like half assed that they, like, inviting her.
Darielys:If he really wanted her to go and his parents didn't, he should've just stayed with her and not gone on the trip, or they could've both gone on, like, a different trip. I don't know. Like, work something out. It's like begging? No.
Darielys:No. Yeah. If they don't want you there, stop begging. Like, if they're they don't want you there, they're gonna treat you like if you weren't even there even if you weren't. So, no.
Darielys:That's Yeah. That sucks. Perfect. Yeah. Oh my god.
Erika:It sucks to be with people when they don't respect you or don't want you there and make you feel that way. Yeah. So there's no reason for that.
Edgar:Mhmm.
Erika:Okay. So next story.
Edgar:Yeah. The next story is titled, am I the asshole for silently getting up and walking out of the restaurant during New Year's Eve dinner after I was told to pay for everyone at the table, my in laws. I, female 32, recently inherited a good amount of money from my mom. I keep the money in a separate account as I still haven't decided what to do with it, and I didn't want to go to waste. I noticed my husband constantly bringing up the inheritance money and making countless suggestions as to how we should spend it.
Edgar:Another thing is that he expects me to pay for nearly everything the past couple of weeks. For New Year's Eve, my husband and I met with his family at a restaurant to celebrate. It was going fine until I found out that I was expected to pay for everyone at the table. My husband's mom joked about paying for dinner out of my inherited pocket, which made me livid, but I showed no reaction. Just suddenly paid for my own food and drinks.
Edgar:Then I got up and made my way out of the restaurant. They were shouting after me like a crowd, and my husband tried to get me to come back, but I drove home. He got back at 3 AM yelling at me saying I was pathetic to get up and walk out on him and his family after they relied on me to pay for their food and thought I was gracious enough to do it, but they were wrong. He said I humiliated him and his family and that what I did was an attempt to get back at them for not being able to help, my mom when she was sick. Not true is all I was gonna say.
Edgar:He is mad and is saying that I caused a huge rift between his family and me when it wouldn't have hurt me to pay for the celebratory dinner. Am I the asshole? And I say no, especially, like, they were joking about the inheritance money, but I imagine, like, for OP, that inheritance money means a lot because, like, it's what's left of her mom.
Erika:Yeah. She's probably trying to figure out what to do with the money. Why does she have to buy anybody anything?
Edgar:Yeah.
Erika:They're not entitled for it.
Edgar:And they didn't even tell her, like, beforehand. They just kinda expected her. Like, definitely not the asshole on the OPs part.
Darielys:Why is the husband suggesting what she should spend it on?
Edgar:I mean, like, a helpful, like, a helpful suggestion is, like, always, like, welcome. But, I mean, if he's he's trying to force his, his ideas down, not her throat, then it's probably, like, not ideal.
Darielys:He's expecting a suit for everything. Mhmm.
Edgar:They're like, oh, she
Darielys:has money, so she can pay for everything.
Edgar:And I feel like that's a lot of people's, like, mentality though.
Darielys:No. That's messed up. I don't know. That's messed up.
Edgar:Mhmm. Yeah. It's like not a not a ideal situation to be in.
Darielys:No. If I was in that situation, I would I don't wanna know what to do.
Edgar:Would you also leave as well? I don't know
Darielys:if I would leave or just, like, do what she did. Like, I don't know. Like, I don't know. Some I've been I'm too nice sometimes too, so it's like,
Edgar:So you'd pay for okay. Because imagine they're,
Darielys:like, an
Edgar:expensive restaurant.
Darielys:It that's
Erika:the thing.
Darielys:If it's, like, a really, really, really, really fancy restaurant and, like, I don't know. Like, I'll be, like, damn. That would hurt. Like, no. That would hurt.
Darielys:Because in those
Edgar:kind of restaurants, but for, like, a whole family, that could be, like, almost a 1,000.
Darielys:But, like, that's also, like, embarrassing because, like, what if you don't, like is that, like, if you don't pay and, like, everybody's just sitting there, but, like
Edgar:What if I I always get the cheapest thing on the in the menu?
Erika:No. I I still don't think people should just assume Mhmm. That you're gonna pay or somebody's gonna pay. Please ask.
Darielys:Be like, oh, can you, like, cover this time? Or I don't know. Like, something. Like, ask. Not like, oh, she got money.
Darielys:She's gonna pay.
Erika:Yeah.
Darielys:Or this and that. Or like, oh, no. She got money because of her mom. Whatever. Dude, what?
Edgar:I know. Your mom just died. Just use the the money to to get some food to celebrate something.
Darielys:And who chose that restaurant? They probably chose, like, a very, very fancy or would they go to a restaurant? I don't know.
Edgar:Yeah. They show the fancy restaurants. They ordered everything, like, the the the most expensive thing on the menu, and they're also getting takeout.
Darielys:Yeah. You you see what like, no. They're And they
Edgar:got drinks too?
Darielys:At that point, they're just doing it on purpose. If it was, like, a normal, like, family dinner, it was planned and everything, you know, everybody having their good time. Okay. But, like, they just like, oh, let's go this twin. Let's get this and this and that and then she's gonna pay.
Darielys:No. I would've left.
Erika:Yeah. The top comment is so let me get this straight. Your mother died after an illness and the the thing your in laws take from this is great. Now you can pay for the everything. Yeah.
Erika:Not the asshole.
Edgar:Yeah. That's crazy.
Darielys:Yeah. Oh my god.
Erika:And then supposedly, they didn't help her out when her mom was sick either, But now they want her inheritance money. And even if they did help out when she was sick, it doesn't mean that you need to get any of the money.
Darielys:Yeah. No. She should've she should've, grabbed her husband's wallet out of nowhere and just, like, when he wasn't looking, get his card.
Erika:And then,
Darielys:like, I'm Oh, yeah. I'm paying. And use his card. And then he's he's gonna think that, oh, whatever. But that work oh, that only works if, like, you guys have, like, the same card or whatever.
Darielys:And, like, he'll think, like, you're paying me, like, oh, you know, whatever. And then next thing you know, he looks at his bank account, and he's the one that paid. I would have done that. If people, like, assumed you're paying for it then. Did you think what you guys assumed that I was gonna pay?
Erika:Yeah. I don't know if I even like, like, the way her husband is acting, I think it's ridiculous too.
Edgar:Mhmm. It's like It's like
Darielys:they're using her for her money.
Edgar:Yeah. Everyone is an asshole in this situation besides the OP.
Darielys:Yeah. No. Besides OP. Yeah.
Edgar:I just don't even get the mentality. Like, I feel like for myself too, I feel like when I go out, I I always expect to pay for myself at least.
Erika:I think I mean, everybody could do what they can do. And at the time, if we can make, you know, pay it more, then we'll pay it. You know? And I think that's how I look at it.
Edgar:I think they this could've been avoided if they at least asked her. Like, hey. Can we all have a dinner altogether? And then and, like, just mentioned that she's gonna be the one paying.
Erika:And she said she said yes.
Edgar:I feel like if they asked her nicely and they were trying to brighten the mood and stuff like that, maybe she would have considered it, but I don't know. Because it looks like she was doing she was paying for other things as well. So I feel like this was just kinda escalating everything because, like, her husband wanted her to pay for everything, and she said, okay. I'm sure for now. And then a few weeks in, she's like, okay.
Edgar:Can you take my family's dinner too?
Erika:Yeah. I think I wouldn't had make her go blindly as the husband. If the if he knew the family was gonna say that or was gonna, you know, suggest that, then I would have told my my my wife early on before we go to that dinner. Be like, oh, they're trying to expect you to, you know, pay for the dinner. Mhmm.
Erika:Like, if you don't wanna do that, maybe we should I could, you know, say that you're not comfortable with that, or I can, you know, make a suggestion or something else. But instead, he agreed with them and expected her to pay it.
Darielys:Or, like, split it. I don't know.
Erika:Yeah. Something.
Edgar:Or everyone pays their own meal.
Darielys:Or that.
Erika:Yeah. I don't get that.
Edgar:I'm all I'm just picturing is them and, like, buying crazy stuff.
Darielys:Yeah. No. I bet the husband, like, made her get the most craziest things.
Erika:Mhmm. It's like, I'm just suggesting it. Suggesting
Edgar:it.
Erika:I'm suggesting she guide me she
Edgar:give me a a new car.
Darielys:Yeah. Like, what? No.
Erika:There you go. Alright.
Edgar:Is this I just like a tangent. Like, a whole bunch of, like, lottery winners, like, always lose a lot of money within, like, a few weeks of getting, like, the win.
Darielys:Because they're stupid.
Edgar:I know. Like, I saw the fastest way someone lost the money that that, was, someone lost or not someone spent 20 to $50,000,000 within a month.
Darielys:What what month?
Edgar:A month or a month and a half by yeah. And it was all gone.
Darielys:People don't oh my god.
Edgar:Like, they have, like, no self control. Like, no wonder they're, like, stop But, like they don't have a $1,000,000 to be That
Darielys:could have lasted them, like, for a while.
Edgar:For the entire life.
Darielys:And then they were, like, smart with it? A long time.
Edgar:Like, people, like, aim to, like, save, like, 2 to $4,000,000 for retirement.
Darielys:I would save it.
Edgar:At least save it.
Erika:Not auto. For retirement.
Darielys:I would save it because, like, hello. You can do whatever you want. Mhmm.
Edgar:Yeah. I mean, yeah. If you like, yeah. Just slowly use it over time. Yeah.
Edgar:Don't live, like, lavishly. Keep living in the house you're you're currently in and you should be fine.
Erika:Yeah. Exactly. Mhmm. There's no need to buy 1,000, 1,000,000,000 of dollars.
Darielys:Buy, like, a big ass house. Yeah.
Edgar:I think he spent it on hookers in, like, drugs.
Darielys:Oh my god.
Edgar:That's why he was gone.
Darielys:Partying in, like, a porch or a Lambo or something like that. Yeah.
Edgar:I feel like I feel
Darielys:like Dave would be the kind
Edgar:of person to, like, buy buy a Lambo or
Darielys:I would. A car. Okay. If I, like, won the the lottery, I would get a Ram. A 100%.
Darielys:That's, like Oh, the big car? That that one that would be, like, pocket change if I won that amount of money. It wouldn't even hurt. But, like, that's how that's all I would do.
Edgar:That's what I
Darielys:mean. Okay. That's it.
Edgar:Let's see how how self to control.
Darielys:You have control.
Edgar:Would it be 1 ram or how many rands did you get?
Darielys:Just 1.
Edgar:What if there's, like, a different color? And a
Darielys:charger. A Dodge Charger.
Edgar:Bro. It's 2 cars. Exactly.
Darielys:But it's just 2 cars.
Edgar:And then you're gonna buy another garage.
Darielys:They're not that they're they're expensive.
Edgar:They are very expensive.
Erika:Taxes are expensive. Yeah. But, like Especially if it's brand new year.
Darielys:If I'm rich, rich, rich, that's not gonna hurt.
Edgar:You won't be rich in
Erika:your life?

Edgar:Mhmm. I'll be fine. What would you do, like, 1,000,000?
Erika:I don't know. I'll pay off my loans, my student loans. And, would just help out my parents and then just, I don't know, invest, get a financial financial adviser.
Edgar:You got me?
Erika:No. Get out of here. And then And
Darielys:then and then and
Erika:then I would, just, you know, spurge a little bit.
Darielys:She's gonna share with us. No.

Darielys:But in New York.
Edgar:No. It'll be Will May tick. It's gonna replace the clock tower thing. Yeah.
Darielys:Willy's boring. It was who the hell's that? Who's Edgar? Sam Martin. Like I
Edgar:can imagine all the people just looking at like, what?
Erika:Yeah. Housing for eastern.
Edgar:Housing for eastern. They didn't destroy it. True.
Erika:I'm not sure. But then you get money that way too.
Edgar:For them destroying it?
Darielys:Just sell it to old people.
Edgar:To old people? Yeah. There's a lot of old people here.
Darielys:Yeah. They're like a soap. I know.
Edgar:It's gonna be a 100.
Darielys:Like nurse. Is it nursing homes or whatever? Like, apartments that, like, are just for, like, the elderly? Mhmm. It's a lot.
Edgar:Yeah. When my my sister and my mom work at, a nursing home that's in Milimetic, actually. They tell me, like, funny stories about it.
Darielys:People hear crazy.
Edgar:Very crazy. That's your word?
Erika:Yeah. And so the next one is Emma the asshole for walking out of the baby shower my in laws threw for me. The situation is kind of a mess. I, female 27, am expecting my first baby with my husband. This is the first grandchild in the family.
Erika:And they said if the baby's a boy, they will give him my father in law's name. He's dead due to cancer. I had no problem with that. This happened before we found out the gender of the baby. My husband and his family had me do things, like attend prayers and do other ritual before the reveal of at the doctors.
Erika:I didn't like that, but went with it to keep the peace.
Edgar:One. Yeah.
Erika:The doctor appointment came and it turned out to be a girl. My husband cried in the car. Why are you laughing?
Darielys:Because he cried
Edgar:in the car.
Darielys:I know. I was laughing.
Edgar:He's like, what?
Darielys:He cried in the car
Erika:then turned his phone off and to hide from his family and then finally told them. His mom and the others made their frustration and disappointment clear, which bothered me because my daughter deserves to be celebrated. But they ghosted me for days, then started coming over, and visited me constantly, referring to my daughter as my son, claiming the results were false and basically pretending it's a boy.
Edgar:What? Nematode illness?
Erika:Yeah. This is crazy. I had severe fights with them after they refused to stop. And my husband sided with them despite seeing how wrong and unreasonable what they were doing was. We didn't speak for a while.
Erika:Sister-in-law called to apologize and inform me that she had arranged a baby shower for me. I was so excited and happy. But when I arrived, I saw blue balloons, blue cake with father in law's name decorations around. I was so confused. I had to sit down.
Erika:Sister-in-law explained they were still hoping the gender results are false and it's a boy. I looked at my husband and he agreed with them. I lost my temper and yelled at them and calling them delusional and telling them to stop treating my daughter like she's unwanted and act like she doesn't exist by throwing a party for their imaginary grandson. My mother-in-law broke down crying. Everybody cries in this family.
Erika:I took my bag and walked out immediately. They started yelling, and my husband followed me outside and started arguing about how I insulted his family and his dad's memory by acting like that. I told him to wake up and see the insanity in his family's behavior. He said he needed time to process the fact that it's a girl, not a boy, as they expected and insisted I play along and they'll soon get over it. I said absolutely not and demanded he take me home.
Erika:He said no. So I called an Uber and left. He was fuming. He called 15 times then texted that he won't be coming home till I get my ass over and apologize for ruining everything they've done for me and accusing them for mentally being unstable. I haven't responded yet.
Erika:He's constantly pressuring me to get right with his family before we even talk about anything else. Am I the asshole? No.
Edgar:Absolutely not. It was like crazy.
Erika:There's so much in this like, there's so much in this story.
Edgar:I hope the gender, appointment was wrong. Like, what? Like, how does that I don't know. It's a very strange situation.
Darielys:Like, you know. They what they were like, oh, that it was, like, disrespectful how, like, the girl that's pregnant insulted the family, but, again, the family insulted her before all that even happened. Mhmm.
Edgar:And they're like Imaginary. Acted really irrationally. They're like, okay. We hope if it's a guy, then we're gonna name it after, the father-in-law. And then as soon as they found out it's not a guy they just, like, freaked out.
Darielys:Yeah. But they you can't assume what you're gonna have.
Edgar:I know. Yeah.
Darielys:I mean like oh
Edgar:my Once you, like, figure out the gender, there's, like, there's no way to, like, go about it, like, changing it.
Darielys:Because it's, like, very rare. That's, like, oh, you that the explanation. Yeah. Yeah. It's, like, it's very rare.
Darielys:Yeah.
Edgar:I mean, I gotta I can't think of any, like, chemical thing you can do, like, while they're pregnant to change the gender like that.
Erika:There there's not.
Edgar:I don't know what they're, like, thinking.
Erika:Why are x chromosomal? What do you mean?
Darielys:Yeah. I know. Yeah. And the sister-in-law is kinda messed up for that. Mhmm.
Darielys:Oh, I made a birthday shower. What is it? A a baby shower?
Edgar:Yeah. Like, Game of Hope just to, like
Darielys:And then it's blue.
Edgar:Uh-huh. Uh-uh.
Erika:With the That
Darielys:was just, like, just to, like, piss her off more or, like I don't know. But that was, like, not like
Edgar:I don't know how was she expected how she expected OP to react. Like Exactly. Look at this. Oh, you're gonna finally, like, accept our delusions and
Darielys:Mhmm.
Erika:Yeah. That it makes no sense. And the husband is right in that lane too. He's like, baby. No sense.
Edgar:And then, like, he should he cried as soon as he finds out with a girl. He's like, if he's happy. And he collapsed on the floor.
Darielys:That, like, you know I don't know. He shouldn't just be happy. Like, they're literally having a kid.
Edgar:Yeah. If I I mean,
Darielys:they might be sad. Healthy. If you wanted a boy, okay. You wanted a boy. But, like, you still have a baby.
Darielys:Mhmm.
Edgar:And they could always, like, incorporate the the the father in law's name. Like, if it well, her name was Bob, they could just call the girl Baba.
Darielys:Okay. No. Or maybe, like, the name
Edgar:could start with
Darielys:a b. Bobita. No. Edgar, a pretty name at least. Like, it can start with a b.
Erika:But it
Darielys:could be some okay. Okay, Edgar. No. Edgar cannot name the kids.
Erika:No. Well, he's saying that he wants to name if we have a boy that he needs to name him Edgar and I'm like no.
Edgar:And if it's a girl Edgar. If it's a girl, Edgar.
Darielys:Edgar. Yeah. Hell no.
Edgar:Absolutely not.
Erika:I can't figure out.
Darielys:No. No. Edgar. No. Just name just their names could start with the letter E since you both have, like, E in your name.
Darielys:I don't know. Be creative.
Edgar:Elena Edgar.
Erika:What? No. Elena. No. Elena.
Erika:Elena. Elena? Yeah.
Darielys:Damn. You guys are stealing Selena's name. We're just taking the
Edgar:s out of it.
Darielys:Is that what you did? Yeah. That's crazy. I didn't
Erika:even know it until you mentioned that.
Darielys:Bean's gonna be jealous. Bean? It's like Bella, but just Ella.
Edgar:Yeah. Ella.
Darielys:And then Lila. No.
Edgar:Ella. Ella?
Darielys:Ella not that bad.
Edgar:Ella? Sounds Russian.
Erika:Yeah. There must be a, like, I don't know, like a cartoon type of iguana.
Darielys:I don't know why. I love Yeah. Yeah. You're right. I'm right.
Darielys:I can't get you to that. Yeah.
Edgar:Yeah. Yeah.
Erika:So the top comment is so you already know how your daughter is gonna be treated in this family. Time to take nice hard look at your life between now and when you die will be and what your daughter's life will be like and some hard decisions.
Edgar:Mhmm. I think, like, also, it's, like, a little bit weird. Like, if the daughter is born, like, are they gonna still call him like, call her by the father's name or, like, they're gonna still try to, like, groom her to be, like, a a a boy? Like, it's just so weird.
Darielys:No. Imagine. She's born and, like, that's, like, her nickname.
Erika:That's just weird.
Edgar:They give her boy clothes every single year. Like, I don't know.
Erika:It's, like That's just creepy. I don't think the mom's gonna allow that, honestly.
Edgar:But I mean, I feel she's definitely you know, it's not even gonna allow them, like, celebrating her as a boy in the baby shower. Yeah. That's weird.
Erika:I know. I just feel like the Leva Despreciate, so they're gonna let me say that.
Edgar:I I hope we get a follow-up in a few years.
Erika:They're gonna they're gonna, like, don't like her, like, per se. They're gonna be like, oh, but you're not a boy. So we're kinda we don't really like you. Yeah.
Edgar:And they can always just wait for another baby.
Erika:I know. What's Right. What's going on?
Darielys:Imagine it turns out another girl that would laugh.
Edgar:The karma?
Erika:Karma's real. That's what happens
Darielys:for, like, what what were they doing? They were doing something in the beginning. What were they doing to the baby? I don't know.
Erika:They were doing rituals.
Darielys:Yeah. Re yeah. That thing.
Edgar:Rituals? Yeah.
Erika:Yeah. They were doing rituals.
Edgar:Wait. Which baby?
Darielys:The. What do you mean? The baby.
Edgar:Like Which baby?
Erika:The baby now. The pregnant story. Yeah.
Edgar:The pregnant story. Oh, oh, okay. I thought you were talking about, like, someone in your life. No. I'm like No.
Erika:No. No.
Edgar:Yeah. Yeah. It's, like, oh, weird. Yeah. Like, this is definitely, like, they're trying to process the heat.
Darielys:Yeah. Okay.
Erika:That's scary.
Edgar:I don't have to give up. If day 1, the babies will be floating like this. Okay.
Darielys:Okay. Next story.
Erika:Next story.
Edgar:The next story is titled, am I the asshole for asking my son and daughter in law for a copy of the key to the new house they bought? 2 weeks ago, my son, Ethan, 27, I assume a male, and his wife, Jess, 30, a female, bought a small one story house in the town that we live in. After settling down, they invited us for a small party for the occasion. We sat for dinner and talked about the house a bit. Me, my husband, and Jess continued conversing after Ethan excused himself to take an important call.
Edgar:Jess showed me the original key to the house, and I asked if she made copies yet, and she said no. I said she should and also give one copy to me as well. She looked at me funny and asked why she should. I explained that it's it's necessary so that it could be used in emergencies. She rudely said, I don't want what I don't know what kind of emergencies that would require you to have a key to our house.
Edgar:It sure won't be a fire incident. She obviously didn't seem to have an any idea that a fire incident wasn't what I meant, and I got offended by her sarcasm. I pointed out that it's not just her decision because this is my son's house as well. She smiled at me trying to be polite and stated that only the ones who contributed towards the house get a copy and that I really don't need one anyways. Also assured me that my son will have the same answer for me.
Edgar:Basically saying, don't bother bringing this up with Ethan. He'll tell you the same thing. But I did and she spoke on his behalf the entire argument, repeating what she said over and over. Things escalated to her calling me pushy and me telling her she was being unnecessarily rude and disrespectful. My husband and I left in a rush, and I felt horrible.
Edgar:My husband went on and on about how paranoid and controlling I was to basically be demanding a copy of the key to the new house. But, again, I stated that I was just trying to be helpful and take extra steps, since everything and anything could happen, but he insisted I overstepped and ruined Ethan's and Jess' joy for the new house as well as dinner. I genuinely do not think what I said was out of line, and I'm not sure why Jess reacted so intensely. I think my request was innocent. Am I the asshole?
Erika:Yes.
Edgar:I don't think she was the asshole for, like, asking.
Erika:That's like, no. She shouldn't be asking.
Edgar:No. I don't think she was the asshole for asking. Like, I think if the the OP's son's wife would have said it, like, a little bit more nicely. It's like, oh, no. I'm not comfortable with that.
Edgar:I think, I think that would be more reasonable for, Ophi's has Ophi's son's wife to have said. But, yeah, I mean, like, it was like an instant question, but also, like, she shouldn't like, I don't think she should have expected a key.
Erika:She shouldn't be asking. I'm sorry. I would be very annoyed. Why would you want a house from my house? It's not your house.
Darielys:It's not I get it for, like, emergency room, but, like, no. No. I don't know.
Erika:To ask.
Darielys:Because, like, you I don't know. Like, them having a key, they can just walk in. I'm like, oh, whatever.
Edgar:Whatever. Yeah.
Darielys:Like, it feels like it's like their house, and they can just come in whenever they want just because they have the key. Mhmm.
Edgar:And I
Darielys:feel like they'll use it for, like, not emergency purposes. Like, they're just, like, you know, just for convenience
Edgar:or whatever. Just come here.
Darielys:Yeah. No. I no. I I wouldn't give him a key.
Edgar:Yeah. I wouldn't give them either.
Erika:Yeah. I I I I get that it's a innocent question, but I I still don't think I mean, I would've I would've responded like how she did. I would've said no. I wouldn't feel comfortable in doing that, But she also kept pushing. She kept pushing she kept pushing the mother-in-law.
Erika:She she kept saying Like,
Edgar:she asked, like, the because I think asked the the her son. She's just like
Erika:She didn't ask her son.
Edgar:Yeah. She did.
Erika:No. She only asked
Edgar:the Did she ask the son afterwards?
Erika:She didn't. She did? She did?
Edgar:Yeah. And then she she did, but then the the wife was like, no, like, again. And, she spoke on his behalf. But I think he only did that because, like, the wife was challenging her. He's like, oh, even if you ask your son, she's gonna say no.
Erika:Oh, I see. She didn't ask and she said no. Well, still, I mean, I know it's his house too, but, I mean, if your wife is not comfortable and you giving a house key to anybody else, then it's not it. You don't give it to her.
Edgar:Yeah. Yeah.
Erika:It's that simple.
Darielys:They just bought the house. Let them have their moment.
Erika:I know. And they're excited about it. Why? Oh, but give me a house key.
Darielys:Like, what? Yeah. I'm sorry. Oh, for dinner? Oh my that's messy because, like, that's it gets Even the husband
Erika:was like, why are you trying to be controlling and demanding to have a house key? There there's no reason for that.
Edgar:Yeah. Probably, like, from the context clues, she was probably like, OP was probably, like, going about it even more, like, pushily, like you guys are thinking. Because even the husband said, oh, don't don't keep asking. You know? Yeah.
Edgar:No.
Erika:Yeah. Like, you should just wait for somebody to offer you a key or for somebody say, hey. You know, for emergencies, here you go. Or the emergency key is here or something like that. Don't assume that they're gonna give you a copy just because you're the mother-in-law, the, father-in-law.
Erika:There's no need for that.
Edgar:Do you think OP's, wife husband OP's son's wife, was an was an asshole.
Erika:She should've just been better, but I don't think she's an asshole.
Edgar:No. I think she was an asshole because I feel like she kinda, like, escalated the situation from there. Like, you should've just said, like, no. Yeah, it's just with anything else but, like, being sarcastic to her in law.
Erika:But why did she have to ask for the key is my question.
Edgar:Whoever it started out innocently, you're like, oh, am I getting a key?
Erika:There's no innocence in there.
Darielys:Like, the fire Yeah.
Edgar:The always yeah. The fire coming from the Ophi's son's wife.
Erika:But I'm sorry. The fact that she thought that it was a innocent question and reasonable for for her to be asking for a key is questionable to me. That's embarrassing.
Edgar:Well, I mean, like, most families, like, if they're close enough, they're, like, wanna be, like, have have that sort of connection.
Darielys:I would give them the key if it was, like, if I knew there was gonna be an emergency. Like, oh, I need you to do something real quick or here's my key.
Erika:Going on vacation. Here you go.
Darielys:Like, oh, go check the house or this. Like, then yeah. Because, like, I know that you have the key and I know, like, you know but just, like, do you have it and you can walk in whenever you want? No.
Edgar:In general. Yeah.
Erika:No. No. I think she it seems like she's controlling. Even her husband said she was controlling.
Edgar:I know.
Erika:Yeah. Yeah. So maybe that's why she don't wanna give give her the key and that's why she was kinda, like, sarcastic about it because maybe there's the type of relationship where
Edgar:I don't think so. She immediately found it offensive.
Erika:Probably because she wants to control everything, and so now she wants she was asking for a key, and so she got probably annoyed. Because maybe other situations had happened that her mother-in-law was trying to take control of stuff. Because let's say for example, let's say she had a girl relationship with her mother-in-law and she yeah. OP. And her mother-in-law said oh, you know, can you know just for emergencies can we have a key?
Erika:She would have said a maybe a different nicer answer, and she wouldn't have said, you know, sarcasm in another situation. And there would have been a whole different ending of this whole conversation. However, their relationship is not like that. And she probably feels a certain way, and she did not wanna give that key. And she was annoyed, and she used sarcasm to say no, which I don't think was right because she should've respected her mother-in-law regardless of how stupid the question was.
Erika:But she should have, you know, de escalated the situation by saying, you know, respectfully, no, I don't, you know, I don't find that appealing. And I don't find that come through and you having a key. But if the mother-in-law keeps insisting saying, well, that's not the that's not only your house, it's my son's too. That's that's it. That's stepping over the line.
Erika:What do you think, Dave? Yeah. Mhmm. So, yeah, anyways. So what don't you think so?
Edgar:About what?
Darielys:The what I just said. What you yeah.
Edgar:Yeah. I know because I think you got confused because I think you yeah. I don't know who you were talking about. Exactly.
Erika:I was just saying hypothetically, like, depending on the situation, how the relationship was before this whole question even happened. It would have been a different conversation.
Edgar:Okay.
Erika:If they had like you mentioned earlier, if they had a good relationship, I don't think she would have answered sarcastically. Yeah. So anyways, pick up beef. Mhmm. And download yeah.
Erika:Probably. And then she ended up ruining their, you know, get together and their first time eating in, like, in their house. It's ridiculous.
Edgar:Mhmm. Yeah. So what do you guys think about, if he's the asshole?
Darielys:She is. Yeah. She is.
Erika:100%. I
Edgar:don't think she was the asshole, but I don't think she deserves a key. I think the son's, son's wife was the asshole, but she, she was right and, like, rejecting giving her the key.
Darielys:I feel like if the son wanted to have the key, he would just like, oh, here's a key. Here's a spare key.
Edgar:But I knew him. I didn't that's even worse doing it behind his his wife.
Darielys:No. No. No. But, like, they they took it out, like, if they wanted, like, you know? Mhmm.
Darielys:But, like, asking is worse because, like, you expect them to, like, say yes. Because, like, even if she asks and they say no, she's gonna get mad. So it's like, she even if she, like she's asking, so she expects a yes, anyways.
Erika:You should wait for somebody to offer to give you a key. Don't request it because you have no right to that. Yeah. And I don't care how innocent the question is. You have no right to be asking anybody for anybody's key.
Erika:You didn't pay anything for the house, so why should you have one? Simple as that. Okay. So our last story is Emma the asshole for calling the police on my mother-in-law. Oh, this seems seems messy.
Erika:I, 28 female, got married to my husband, 34 male, a week ago. We got engaged about a year ago and when I got engaged, my mother gave me a pair of earrings, which she said every woman for generations in our family was worn to their weddings. There are 4 carat dangling earrings and they are worth a lot. I felt very honored to be given them, and it made me feel closer to my grandmother who had died 2 months prior. About 3 months after that, I went wedding dress shopping with my mother and sister and my fiance's mother.
Erika:I brought all the jewelry that I would be wearing to my wedding to see them match to the dress. When I put the jewelry on my mother-in-law, kept on going on about how gorgeous the earrings were, my mother explained the story and how they were a family heirloom passed down generations. I found the dress of my dreams embodied. On the date of my wedding, I had everything ready in my room. My wedding dress, my flowers, my shoes, my makeup, and my jewelry.
Erika:I was there with my soon to be mother-in-law. I then needed to go to the toilet and when and came back my mother-in-law was gone. I wasn't sure what had happened, but I just thought maybe she got called away to do something. I did notice my earrings were gone. I knew straightaway she had taken them.
Erika:I found her and confronted her, and she said she didn't take them. I asked if I could look through her bag, and she said no and grabbed into it. I said that if she didn't tell me, look, I could call the police, which I then did as she still wouldn't let me look. The police arrived and searched her and the earrings were found in her bag. They were returned to me and they asked if I wanted to press charges.
Erika:I wanted to talk to my fiance first and he said he would support me in whatever I wanted to do. I didn't want to decide in that moment, so I just ignored it and had a great night. That was a week ago. And ever since then, I've been getting loads of threatening messages and calls from my husband's side of the family. My mother-in-law has been sending me extremely hateful texts, and I think I want to press charges, but I'm still not sure if it's a good idea.
Erika:Am I the asshole?
Edgar:No. Definitely not. I mean, why did she take that?
Darielys:I don't
Erika:like them. She got sticky fingers.
Edgar:Yeah. That's like this is like a I don't understand that our process is, like, taking the the grooms or the wife, like, earrings on their wedding night when they're gonna wear it. It doesn't make sense to me. We are definitely not the asshole for, threatening the press charges. And then, like, the other side of the family was, like, threatening her.
Darielys:That just made it worse.
Edgar:Yeah. Like, it's even like, it's an even worse case for them Yeah. Since the police are involved.
Erika:She should've just pressed charges altogether.
Edgar:She should've been weighed in. She was being very nice to them.
Darielys:I love how the husband is on
Erika:her side.
Edgar:Yeah. That's me. Yeah.
Darielys:That's me. I think that's Yes. This is, like, the first one I've heard that the guy is, like, with, like, his partner or whatever on, like, on their side.
Erika:Like, I don't think people understand that once you get married, there is no you are the media family. The your mother and your father are the extended family, and you should be a partner. Like, you're the number one, not your parents anymore. Like, who's gonna take care of you when you're sick? Not your mom and dad.
Erika:They're gonna be living far away or they're not gonna be there. It's gonna be your wife. Like, you need to put her in your as your priority. So, yeah, I think I really like that he said yes and he
Darielys:said priority.
Edgar:I was
Darielys:like, that part. I was like, oh my god. Finally. I know. Finally, after all this time.
Edgar:Maybe. Yeah. Because even, like, I get, like, the like, it's just, like, a kind of a terrible family. It's, like, all, like, threaten her for, like, something that, like, she's in the right to do.
Erika:Yeah. I don't get it. Like, well, top comment is not the asshole. Mother-in-law is a thief that tried to take make off with your heirloom earrings. Press charges and be done with her.
Erika:100%. I think that's She
Edgar:can charge the entire family. Yeah.
Erika:Oh, because they were threatening it. Yeah. They could She probably that too.
Edgar:I think, yeah, she should probably get, like, a
Erika:restraining order. Restraining order
Edgar:with all of them.
Erika:Yeah. And I and I love that the husband supports her, so she will be able to do that. I mean, why would you do that? Like, how what did she think would happen? Like, her not noticing?
Erika:Like, I don't Yeah.
Edgar:Like, she's never gonna wear it. It looks very expensive.
Darielys:Yeah. On her wedding day. Wasn't it on her wedding day? Yeah. Yeah.
Darielys:No.
Erika:She left to use the bathroom and then when she
Darielys:came back, the earrings were obvious.
Edgar:Yeah. Even more dumb would be, like, if she took, like, the wedding ring.
Darielys:That would be insane.
Edgar:No. I feel like that's, like, one step on that.
Darielys:As well. Like, what's that that's, like, not forgivable. I don't care.
Edgar:No. That's just, like, such a dumb thing to do in general. No. Like, you can you just not steal another day?
Darielys:Or at all? Yeah.
Edgar:That's a waste.
Erika:No sticky fingers. Like, take it for yourself. I wish there was more. Like, I I try to find mother, like, in laws that were good, but they were hard to find. Like, they only have really terrible ones.
Edgar:The more terrible, the better.
Erika:What? No. But, like, it's good to know.
Darielys:To talk about. Yeah. But, like But, nooo.
Erika:This is a good story. But, like, oh, you know, it's nice. You know, the in laws. But no, they're all terrible in laws in this story, in this episode at least.
Edgar:Mhmm.
