Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, this is Samp this is John.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
We're the ancient two case story Time podcast hosts, and
we have some ancient wisdom in the stories coming up.
If you want to hear the wisdom from two old
heads that know more than they know what to do with,
you're gonna have to wait for a quick message from
our sponsors for the next two minutes or so.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
My in laws want me to give up my pregnancy,
so I'm planning to cut them out of my child's life.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
So you gave up the in law sad? Yeah? Can we?
I don't want to end on sad.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Title states I'm pregnantce. My own family found out maybe
two weeks ago, and they're so supportive. My fiance is
going into the military. Basically, my family in law is
really toxic to me. I try to be kind and
respectful every time I'm over, but I deal with an
anxiety disorder and have problems opening up to others.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
This is the same story the past, like end story,
people can't open up. No, no, just like terrible in
laws and anxiety disorders.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
There's a lot of anxiety and terrible in law I guess.

Speaker 5 (00:57):
So you're not alone out there.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, they don't really talked to me much when I'm
over anyways. They just exchanged pleasantries like hi, how are you,
and I respond and ask them the same hello, how
are you, and they leave it at that. It's understandably awkward.
By the way, this comes from plenty jacket twenty one
eighty six on the Okay Storytime suffered it so one
day it actually escalated. It was maybe six days before

(01:19):
I found out I was pregnant, and we were having
an outing with their entire extended family. Everyone was having
fun and I was starting to open up. My fiance
tells his cousin that we got our marriage certificate, and
that's where everything goes to crap. She yelled to his mom,
you know they're married, which wasn't really true. We had
just bought the marriage the certificate and it wouldn't force
us to get married. We could back out at any time.

(01:41):
Keep in mind, his mom knew we were getting married.
My fiance had told her everything, and she told me
not to tell my parents because of my past with them.
Now in front of her extended family, she acted as
if she had no idea. She told my fiance, you
know you can't live here when you're married, right, My
fiance said, he knew we were looking to move into
a mobile home and she knew that. She then insulted

(02:01):
him in front of everyone, asking, you're gonna make her
pay for everything, knowing that I had just got around
fifteen k for something and I don't mind paying. The
military would help with basic housing and it won't be forever.
But just being completely rude in front of everyone, and
I'm just sitting there while they're arguing, just so confused
because she was actively encouraging us to get married about
a week ago in confidence. That is very weird to

(02:24):
switch up, yeah, in front of everyone else. Then she's like,
I paid for your insurance, et cetera, and tries to
pull it up in front of everyone on her bank app.
Keep in mind we're in public.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
It's so inappropriate, and she didn't even pay.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
He did his job and would ship in every month
with one hundred to two hundred dollars. She couldn't even
find it on our baking app. That's embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
So it's not here, but I did, I swear, I
swear it.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
So he's getting offended and pissed because this is no
one's business understandably so, and he says, we're doing this
for love. You moved out for love once when you
were fourteen with three guys, which I can't stand behind him,
saying that two wrongs never ever make it right in
my book. WHOA, Yeah, we don't know what happened there.
My jaw genuinely dropped, and that entire time I stayed silent.

(03:12):
I wasn't smiling, laughing nothing. His mother looks at me
because she knows she can't get him anymore, and says,
do your parents know about this? Maybe I should give
them a call, angrily at me, knowing that she told
me and my fiance not to let them know because
I have had problems with them in the past, possibly
getting kicked out, and I was genuinely scared. She then says,
it's crappy if you not to tell them. You told

(03:34):
her not to do that.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
I'm frustrated.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Well, it's this lady. I looked at her with the
most hurt and betrayed look I had ever had in
my life. Oh, it was so hurt, especially since I
have never been disrespectful to her and my fiance had
told her everything beforehand. She just acted as if she
didn't know. My fiance starts to storm off and makes
me follow while I just pause and try to motion
him to talk, but he makes me follow. When we

(03:57):
get in his car, I just break down and have
a panic attack because I'm thinking I'm about to lose everything.
We didn't have a plan yet. We go back to
his house so I can calm down. Mind you, I'm
pregnant oo and don't even know yet, and I'm having
an entire panic attack. They come home after and he
talks to her and asks her not to call my parents.
She says, which I still find so insane. I never

(04:18):
said I would call her parents, and I never called
her a crappy person, So she's just gaslighting everyone. No
offense she kind of did, saying that it's crappy of
me not to tell them when she literally told me
not to. Is gaslighting. My fiance says that I'm upstairs
having a panic attack, and she's like, that's not my problem,
it's yours. You did this. Then she says to my

(04:39):
fiance that I'm no longer welcome in the house after
he tells his mom that I'm valid if I don't
want a relationship with her. After this, entire thing because
I genuinely didn't do anything. It was their argument I
wasn't involved. So the husband's like, if, oh, to OPI,
if you don't want to have a relationship with my.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Mom, that's okay, no, no, no, else he's telling the mom.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
He's kind of adding fuel to.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
If if my partner doesn't want to have.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
A relationship with you, I see, then she's valid.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, which is just kind of upset his mom even
more so.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
I do an entire walk of shame out of there.
That's just one instance of why I don't want my
child involved with them. Next instance, his sister found out
I was pregnant through Instagram. A close friend who I
confided in told her bad friend yeah, and immediately texted
him instead of me asking for my medical details. How
many weeks I was? What the doctor said, when me

(05:32):
and her are not close and out of falling.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Out a year ago, you had a falling out, you
know with a sister with a sister like a friend.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
So okay, So his Opie's husband's sister or Opie's partner's
sister and her, I guess used to be close, but
they had a falling out. Oh, and now she's asking
all this medical information. I was also high risk I
had found out for a miscarriage, especially with the recent stressors.
When we got to their house, she didn't ask me

(06:01):
what I wanted. She told me to immediately terminate the
baby and that she could send me somewhere to get pills.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Whoa, whoa, this was the sister, sister, this was the sister.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Are we sure?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah? When we got to there, I mean, it doesn't
specify that it was the mother, and so I'm assuming
this is the sister. I was so appalled. I want
my baby. I love this baby. I don't think I
ever could forgive that. I tried to make up with
the mom a couple days after me being kicked out,
before his sister and I knew about the baby, and
we kind of did, I think, make up, But it
was me apologizing for nothing, and she hardly took accountability.

(06:36):
I'm just non confrontational.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Wait, wait, you apologize for nothing?

Speaker 4 (06:39):
You didn't apologize, or you you apologize, but there was
nothing to apologize.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yes, I think that's what she's saying. He's like, I
didn't do anything, but I apologized because I didn't want
to make I didn't want to make a you know,
before you ask, I'm actively looking for work to support
this baby. It would be more ideal to wait until
he goes into the military, but things happen, he could
get in sooner and he's sworn in already as well.
And to give more insight on my parents before you ask,
as well, they're supportive at the moment, which surprised me.

(07:05):
They likely are more supportive because they are retired military
and my mother got married at my age as well,
so they're excited, honestly, and I'm excited for you guys
to listen to full episodes with stories like this. Just
go to Spotify, Apple Podcast, or your favorite podcast app
and search. Okay, storytime, but there is a little bit
left to this story, But do you have any final
up final thought?

Speaker 4 (07:25):
I was just thinking, like, did you enjoy your your
your food Keon's Honestly, that's where my mind was because
you're hungry. Maybe it's that I was just thinking and
we're so close, We're so close. Okay, Okay, Oh my thoughts. Okay,
here's a guys, you tell me your thoughts.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
I think that it is completely inappropriate for the sister
to say that to tell you what to do with
your child.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
That's a horrible thing, horrible.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Thing to say, horrid And I think on a thing
of like apologizing to the mother in law, Honestly, it's
not going to improve your relationship. She's going to probably
come at you for something else in the future, and
I think you need to set those boundaries now, and
maybe that means like going low contact with her if
she's going to continue to disrespect you. Yeah, especially when

(08:20):
you got you know, your own family to worry about.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
It seems like OPI has huge people pleasing tendencies and
also anxiety, yeah, which big anxiety and panic attacks that
involved with that, and then you have the kryptonite of
someone like that, which is this mother in law, And
it's I'd be shocked if if you had a relationship

(08:43):
with her, if she didn't continue to test your lack
of boundaries repeatedly and repeatedly and repeatedly exactly, So, I
am not looking forward to more of this relationship.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
There was a little bit more to the story.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
It was all right, Alex, Okay, Yeah, that's what do
you expect?

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Would I be wrong to just cut that out of
my in my child's life. Before it starts. I'm a
very forgiving person, but I don't want to forgive, and
they hurt this beautiful baby. I'm caring. I just keep
seeing red flags from them, and I really truly want
the baby to be happy. Thank you all for reading. Lastly,
please do not tell me to get rid of my baby.
I want the baby. I don't want to see things
like that, especially being high risk and having that fear

(09:22):
in the back of my mind that something will go
wrong slash focusing on my fiance being military. Telling me
to get rid of my child or leave my fiance
is very rude. No one should be saying that, and
I don't think you would be the a hole for
not wanting to have a relationship with these people who
are actively gaslighting you and telling you horrible things. Yeah,
you don't need to have a relationship with them.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
I think there's a lot of room to shift relationships,
but I'm not sure how this relationship can be shifted.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
And you don't have to forgive someone who doesn't apologize.
I don't have hope, but that is the end of
that story. Really, my mother in law falsely accused me
of I'm stealing thousands.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Of dollars from her, So now you've got to actually
steal it.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, if she's already accused, you might as well do it.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Ye might as well benefit.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
I thirty three female, have been with my husband thirty
two male for ten years. It's been wonderful and while
we have been through tough times, we have always come
out stronger than before. The story is long and I
like details, so please forgive me. You're forgiven, by the way.
This comes from Kabler Recent ninety four eighty three on
the Okay Storytime Separate. So my brother in law's and

(10:27):
husband share the same bio mom, and they are relatively
close and involved in each other's lives. My husband's biomom
is not a great person, but this story is actually
about his step mom. For simplicity's sake, I will just
call her my mother in law my father in law
sixties male is the type of person who cannot bear
to be single. He's been married at least four times
and has always moved into his new wife's house, whether

(10:49):
it is in a totally different city or not. Unfortunately,
he is also the type of person to take on
elements of his new girlfriend slash wife's personality. In order
to maintain the relationship, he will change his life and
dislikes avoid certain foods, music, movies, books, et cetera. A
small example of this is that father in law and
mother in law came to visit us and husband trying
to show father in law a video game he was

(11:11):
excited about. At the time, father in law called the
game too violent and disgusting, questioning how could anyone play it?
Sounds like my parents. Later, however, when he was alone
with us, he spent hours playing the game with husband,
praising the graphics and story. So he's just doing this
as he's like, trying to maintain his cover.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
Yeah, exactly what he's like, Oh, you should be doing that,
But we'll talk about it later.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
We discussion about this. Mother in law is the worst
kind of entitled care. My husband hates her and always
has I do too, But at the time the story
takes place, my dislike was mostly a result of hearing
about my husband's negative experiences with her. My husband has
detailed the very vile things he's witnessed her do to

(11:53):
father in law and both of my brother in law's
husband is the oldest of three brothers, and while they
have not always gotten along. He is very protective of them.
There are so many awful stories I could tell about
how she has treated husband and brother in law's without
even touching on what she has done. But what she
has said and done to me that is not a
tale for today. Husband has severe anxiety, depression, and a

(12:14):
history of trauma he has never worked through. I've tried
to get him into therapy, but he has always said
it's not worth the money.

Speaker 6 (12:20):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
Second, a lot of his anxiety is about father in
law and his fear that mother in law's controlling behavior
will lead to the destruction of their father son relationship
such as it is. Yeah, it seems like the father
in law is already kind of taking the mother in
law's side on everything. Husband blames mother in law for
a lot of things that father in law is equally
responsible for, which I have often pointed out, and Husband

(12:43):
is able to recognize this when I do. However, husband
feels that he needs father in law's approval for some
of his life choices to an extent, which has been
a point of contention for us at times. For example,
we were engaged for nearly a year before a husband
told father in law.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Whoa whoa he engaged for a year.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
That's greatly I would be upset that as a partner
I'm talking to him.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
I'm so confused by you hide this.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
The events of this story are partly why okay. So
this takes place about nine years ago and involves one
of those big movie game rental stores that would buy
back DVDs and Blu rays to give people store credit
to use on whatever. We had both sold items to
the store, and for clarity, my husband boyfriend at the time,
did not have an account to poot credit on. We
just used mine. As a result, all of the credit

(13:31):
remained on my account and he could always use it
with or without me present. He made it clear that
the credit was also mine to use freely. Back then,
this felt like a huge sign of commitment to me. Hey,
I was young. Father in law often gave movies and
other items to my husband because mother in law pretty
much controlled everything about his life, and if she didn't
like something, he could simply he simply got rid of

(13:52):
it to appease her. To be clear, father in law
gave these items to husband for him to keep, sell, giveaway,
et cetera. He gave up all claim to them. Intentionally
so he could show mother in law he was obedient.
Just writing that makes my stomach for One day, father
in law gave husband a huge box of old movies
and TV series. Husband went through it and picked quite
a few that he would keep, but then planned to

(14:14):
take the others to the store and sell them. It
was embarrassing af to stand for like thirty to forty
five minutes while some poor worker had a scan and
check all of them to see if they were worth anything.
It turned out that many of them were actually quite valuable,
and we ended up with over three hundred dollars in
store credit. Why this was not the first time that
he had done this with items father in law given away,

(14:35):
It was just the first time that we had received
such a large dollar amount. So I feel like the
father in law's going to come back and be like,
hey and wants a minute money.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
So by that money money.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Husband and I immediately bought rented some things, and after
a couple of weeks we had burned through around one
hundred and fifty to eight dollars. That's pretty good. I
mean a couple weeks, I feel like you can bring
through all of it.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
We did. The father in law explicitly said.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
He gave it to them. He gave it, He gave
it to them, He said this, here you go. It's
I mean, like they just liked he could have done
that with it. There was still quite a bit left,
but this was a good chunk of the credit lawn.
At some point husband had told father in law how
much we got, and father in law of course told
mother in law about it. She was shocked that movies
she deemed stupid could be worth anything at all, let

(15:22):
alone hundreds of dollars. Somehow, mother in law came to
the conclusion that all the money was actually hers and
father in law's and had been all along. So husband
and I kept on buying stuff, chipping away at it
a bit at a time. I'm sure you can guess
where this is going. Father in law and mother in
law invited us to attend an out of town event
with them, And while mother in law was not our

(15:43):
favorite person, my husband loves father in law very much
and wants a relationship with him. However, as I said earlier,
father in law stops being who he really is in
mother in law's presence and just says and does what
she wants regardless We had a nice time at the event,
and father in law took us out for dinner. There
were some irritating things that happened throughout the day, one

(16:03):
involving a pretty white dress I found, but overall it
was a good time. Upon returning to town, though, mother
in law announced that she wanted to go and buy
some things with her credit. She's just taking us. If
you wanted the money.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
You should have sold those, Sorry, lady, you deem them stupid.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, that's and you gave them away. You know, takes
these back seas. I'm not going to say the other
thing now, not using that again.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
She was still under the impression that there were hundreds
of dollars that she should have a complete access to,
But she is not totally stupid. She knew it was
on my account, thus she knew I had to be
present for her to use it. This is not a
story of her being confused or ignorant of how store
credit works. We went to the store and father in
law and mother in law started tossing items in a

(16:46):
cart to buy, and it was already getting expensive. Husband
started to lose it, a little hyperventilating, and he even
started crying because he was so worried about what they
were going to do. Just tell him to not do it.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Wait about what.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Like about buying all the stuff with their credit?

Speaker 1 (17:03):
How is he doing it if he's like crying about it?

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Yeah, Like, don't let them do it. The entire thing
was so insane to me because, ay, the movies were
at hers to begin with. They were father in laws
that were then given to husband because she didn't want
them be We did not receive actual money for them.
We got store credit for a place that she rarely,
if ever, went to see. She was fully aware of
the fact that the credit was on my store account.

(17:25):
Now for a little explanation about what happened next, I
have to get pretty personal. I experienced a very traumatic
childhood and things happened to me that no one protected
me from, even when they could. As a partner sash wife,
I have always felt the need to shield my husband
from things if I feel that I can protect him.
This is something that I am working through in therapy,
and I know it is a problem. However, at the

(17:48):
time this story takes place, I was so deep in
this protective mindset I couldn't see beyond the instinctual need
to save him. So, as many of you have guessed,
I told the husband to tell father in law and
mother in law that I use the money and bought
books for my mom, because I honestly thought they wouldn't
react as badly if they believed it was done as
a gift and not out of selfishness. This is not

(18:08):
what happened. I can imagine it's not what happened. If
it's this mother in law, she seems pretty intense. Yeah,
mother in law immediately became enraged and the accusations and
name calling started flying. In the middle of the store.
Having experienced trauma myself, I was triggered by this and
completely froze. It seems like they're both reacting pretty like

(18:29):
pretty intensely to this, like Opie and her husband, Like, oh,
Opie's husband's hyperventilating.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Crying, oh oh sorry. Opie's husband was crying no, no,
no is Opie's husband got it. Opie's Husband's crying. Now
Op's completely frozen. It's like, how can you not see
that you're traumatizing these people on the mother law?

Speaker 1 (18:50):
So people don't care.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
People are so in their own world and they justify
their anger and their response that when people are being
actively damaged in the moment, it's they're oblivious to it,
or they just don't care, or they want to experience
a reaction.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Yeah, I couldn't move, react or defend myself at all.
They purchased some of the items, using up most of
the remaining credit, and we left. On the way out,
she was whispering furiously to father in law and all
I heard was she's still all that money, and she's
a liar and a beat, among other colorful comments.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
Wait, so Opie said, I used them the majority of
the money on my mom, my mom to buy books.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
But that wasn't true.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
It wasn't true, but they still tried to buy things
with that, so they would have seen that.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
It's well, you know, they're saying, where did the money
because they already for themselves. They've already spent some of
the money on op and her husband. And so basically
she was saying that like she thought, oh, maybe it
would be okay if I just said it was like
for a present.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, but it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
She was not stupid. She knew she couldn't do anything
to me. She was just trying to return father in
law against me and of course it worked on their
in law spent the next year trying to convince how
but to believe me, and I don't even think he
even remembers why honestly, Obviously we're still together and happily married.
We're totally no contact with mother in law and very

(20:10):
low contact with father in law to this day. Father
in law even skipped his oldest son's wedding because we
flatly told him mother in law was not invited. But
you're always invited to listen to full episodes with stories
like this. Just go to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your
favorite podcast appens. Okay, story time and there's a little
bit laught to this story, But do you have any
final thoughts?

Speaker 7 (20:30):
Usually on my I'm pro communication, it seems with the
mother in law and the father in law who just
goes in, adapts who he is and throws away his
values to match women that he's with, and especially this woman,
m it seems like it's just like a dead end,
especially if they're if this woman is verbally abusing yeah, Op,

(20:52):
and and Op's partner in the store. Yeah, I don't
think there's much movement for having a healthy relationship with
these people.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
No, but there's a little bit left. I have so
many stories like this. Father in law and mother in
law are still together because he's as simp as someone
in the comment said. And I know she still talks
scrap about me even though we have not met in
person in more than six years. I have overheard father
in law talking to husband on the phone and he
has made comments about me that are obviously him just

(21:22):
parroting her. Yes, she blames me for her husband's change behavior.
AKA is back and that is the end of that story.
But yeah, no, you don't need to have a relationship
with people who actively harass you. Yeah, that's just not okay.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
Yeah, my brother in law's girlfriend made a toast about
herself and my wedding because she had too much to drink.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
That's not your wedding, girl.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
This took place at the end of twenty sixteen. Our
wedding absolutely beautiful. It wasn't a small wedding, about one
hundred gifts and we did our best to keep costs
as low as possible. And by the way, this comes
from you a historical feature forty six on the Roka Storytime.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Sobrid so I was able to get the dress of
my dreams.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
The venue was gorgeous, we found an awesome DJ, the
bridal party looked amazing. My friend who did our hair
and makeup got it all perfect, and the months of
sleepless nights making paper flowers paid off. All of our
staff were fantastic and professional. But no wedding is complete
without little drama.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
So true. This is why I always say, if it
ain't had a little drama, then it ain't a wind.

Speaker 5 (22:23):
What did you just say, was.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
It ain't have a little drama? It ain't a wind?

Speaker 5 (22:27):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
We have few things go wrong that day, nothing catastrophic
and all funny in retrospect. Morning of my poor husband
discovered half of the groom's men forgot something, oh like
all different things. One was missing choose, one was missing
a shirt, that sort of thing. They also had a
mission to pick up a typewriter that was used for
the guest book.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
I like that idea.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
They did to take a.

Speaker 4 (22:50):
Detour to the mall and left my very anxious husband
in the car, but it went in to find the
last minute item. They took forever and then came back
with a cinnabon and didn't even bring them, any of them.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Lol.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Still, they made it back on time for photos and
all was well. My husband's cousins nearly got my sister
in law kicked out. They are from a state where
people over eighteen are allowed to drink in the presence
of their parents or guardians.

Speaker 5 (23:12):
The state is that I'm gonna look that up.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
This is absolutely not the case here. The older cousins
were buying drinks and giving them to one of the
younger ones. My sister in law happened to be close
by both times the bartender caught her with a drink.
He could have thrown them out on the spot, but
instead to my sister in law that if the younger
cousin had a drink in her hand one more time,
he was having them bounced. He was pretty upset with
the cousins, as this was not her doing. Save the

(23:34):
best for last. My brother in law's then girlfriend behavior
was entirely unhanded. This all started over the drink tickets.
For context, my mom had graciously paid for unlimited Margarita
I want to go, and every guest got one drink,
just one.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, everyone got that's a set amount of numbers.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Yeah, that's the opposite of them trying to.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Find the that's limit.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
The wedding party got two, and my mom had a
few leftovers, so a few other random people also wound
up with two. The margeritas were fantastic, Okay, pretty much
everyone was happy with this arrangement. Even my booziak father
behaved himself. My maid of honor and best man were competing.
I think they had somewhere around twelve each. Whoa and
neither of them made a scene.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Twelve drinks, I'm confused. Was it unlimited or was it limited?

Speaker 1 (24:23):
It doesn't matter, there is no limit. I think they
just bought a bunchet.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
The chick was telling anyone who would listen how tacky
it was that we didn't have an open bar, and
she got really upset that she didn't get two drink tickets.
She decided she was family. Okay, so this is the
brother in law's girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Yeah, she decided she was family.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Okay, she decided she was family, So she was owed
another one. You should bring a flask tell him mind you.
Most people tolerated her at best. Many couldn't stand her.
She tried to talk to my husband about this first,
but he was clearly busy, He told her, I don't
have time for this. Talk to my mom. His mother
in law. Crazy then snagged my mother in law's best
friend after having found out she had happened to get

(25:04):
two drink tickets inviting to the bar. She instead dragged
a family friend to my mother and began to make
a scene about a family friend getting two tickets, embarrassing
the poor lovely woman who thought they were just getting
more drinks.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
She found someone who got.

Speaker 4 (25:15):
Two, yeah, and she was like, how.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Dares she have two texts? One I'm sorry, I didn't
know it was given to me.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
So after Opie's brother in law's girlfriend embarrassed this other woman, yeah,
and cause the scene, Opie's mom was annoyed, but her
boyfriend gave Crazy his tickets to get rid of her.

Speaker 6 (25:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
This was not the end. She began stealing people's trink
getting more and more.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Girl, that's so funny. She's going around finding anyone who
has second drink tickets and she's like, Okay.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
No, I think she's like she's a shade up tee, like,
oh that's your personal me.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Just no.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
I think there's like there's like a drink on the
table and they're turned around and she's like, those are the.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
Word I've never I know someone like that, and call
I knew something like that, and call it that's the same.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, that's wild.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
You have a problem.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
So this was not the end. She began stealing people's drinks.
The owner of the restaurant bought my husband along island.
He only got a few SIPs before we were whisked
off to take pictures, leaving it on the head table.
He was gone when we returned. Maybe we wanted to
have known it was her. She hadn't been so blatantly
going up to tables and claiming drinks as hers.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
She's like, no, this is mine, It is mine. That
one's fine, that's mine.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
Oh no, I think that's why she's like, no, it is.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
Mine, just like holding on.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
She's like the rawbine I heard she got told off
by my ninety pounds no nonsense Irish grandmother for trying
to take my nephew's apple juice.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Wasn't even alcoholic, like trying to literally, she needed to change.
She wanted to chase la tequila app This is not yours.
It is for a child. It has a lid, It
got a sippy cup. I wish I saw that one
in person. About this time the toast had started.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
I made of honor, gave a beautiful speech that no
one wanted to follow. The best man was off the
hook as he was also the officiant. The mic got
passed down to my husband's older brother, not the one
dating Crazy. He says something short and sweeten that should
have been it, But then Razy exits the men's room.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Whoa Gurley? He painted it in vomit.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Gurley Gurle shruts across the patio, making a beeline for
the mis intervention.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
No, no one sees that. No one's like in slow
motion like someone.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
Gurley needs an intervention big time.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
My biggest disappointment is that no one got this on film.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
I know that's this is hilarious.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
The only the only evidence we have is a well
timed photo of my brother in law's crap eating grin
as he hands over the mic, knowing this is going
to be wild. Okay, so the brother in law with
his own girlfriend, It is like, all right, yeah, say
talk your crab. The entire weddings stood there in stunned
silence as she pursued heeded to welcome me to the family.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
And then goes on.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
To talk about how much he hopes he will be
a part of this family as well.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
She's like, welcome to him.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
I'm not idiot, Well wonder.

Speaker 5 (28:17):
She's drunk.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Will you marry me? Actually, less bit, I'm getting married
right now.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Give me a flowering and then he has to do.
It's the law.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
It's the law.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
So many people told me that they thought that she
was going to propose to my hung husband's younger brother
on the se I do.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Think I think the brother in law gave her is
not her his that's not his girlfriend. I think I
was a different brother.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Ok Yeah, okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
He is hiding his face an embarrassment, cursing under Okay,
he definitely did not give her the mic. No, he's
hiding his face in embarrassment, cursing under his breath, and
gesturing wildly, attempting to get crazy to stop talking.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
He's like multiple people told me they thought about tackling.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
My mom said if she was on our side of
the family, she would have kicked her out.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
The whole speech was probably about five minutes.

Speaker 4 (29:06):
That's a long time long, but it felt way longer
for a drunk person to be making an unhinged speech
five minutes long.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
That is really beautiful here today. I have drank an
apple juice.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
But I still good, and you're going to marry me.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
I'm not one who really cares about image, and I
know why I think she ruined My dad made.

Speaker 5 (29:31):
Stride, had her popcorn? Yeah ready, yeah like that, I'll
drink to that.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
She's like the tees unfolding right as we speak, like
everyone's gonna remember my wedding day.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
Literally, I'm not one who really cares about image, and
I know way thinks she ruined my day. All in all,
it's a funny story to tell. She continued with little annoyances,
like asking the DJ to play get Swifty from breaking
More to you. Okay, that's really funny. After being told
not to multiple times by my husband. He's like, please,

(30:02):
I don't want to listen to Guy Swift. She's like,
one more time, one more time. Funny song, not appropriate
her wedding full of kids and grandparents. Thankfully, the DJ
cut it off pretty fast, so he played it.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Was sure, yeah, she's asking.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
After a while, I lost track of her and just
enjoyed the rest of the night. Now for the cherry
on top.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
How can I get better than this apology? Is she
still drunk?

Speaker 1 (30:27):
So hopeful?

Speaker 4 (30:27):
My mom had paid for two sueets at the hotel
next door. One was the bridal suite and one the
groom sweet the second night, Mom and her boyfriend got
one room and the other was from my husband and
I apparently crazy thought that she and her brother and
brother in law were going to stay in that room
and had to be corrected. So after all of this,
I'm standing there, exhausted. It shouldn't take my dress off
with my brother in law based in Lee colllects the

(30:50):
last of his stuff from the night before. She takes
this moment to apologize for her speech. I never want
you to apologize for listening it to us. Full episodes
with stories like this, just go to Spotify, Apple Podcasts,
or your favorite podcast app and search. Okay, storytime, there's
another relevant update. But let's discuss this is great. We
should just only have stories like this was great.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Honestly, she didn't ruin your day.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
You made it made one.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Maybe ruined her life.

Speaker 5 (31:17):
Yeah, but she's ruined. No one's dead, yeah, and no
one got hurt, no one hurts. Maybe just like maybe
the boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Pride, just pride and embarrassment.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
Yeah, but like that's his girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, well the kid got his apple juice.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Yeah, the kid got his apple.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
He's the real The gram was like on the rocks and.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
This apology went something like this signing wrong on that.
But I really do hope to be part of this
family soon. It's so great. You and your husband have
been together since high school. You grew up together. That's
your thing.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
I've never swallowed that's my thing.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
What what?

Speaker 3 (31:55):
What?

Speaker 4 (31:57):
What apology except apology on pause? Apology loading? Yeah, I
have no words. I'm completely baffled and just want her
to leave. But I'm too nice slash awkward to do
more than politely nod and say, oh oh yeah that
was our response.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Well I have a good night to this day.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
I am baffled by this behavior, but this story is
great for a laugh.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
So true.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
There's a small update. Yes, they broke up, but not
because of this. It was a while later. That's why
he knows how to pick them. At least she's not
as wild as his baby mama.

Speaker 5 (32:36):
Oh no, there's probably another story for me.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Yeah that story dang man, right, so there's some relevant comments.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Wait, Did I miss that? Did she say I don't swallow?

Speaker 1 (32:46):
She said, I don't swallow. That's my thing. She was
comparing her.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
Bicy sleep tendencies to them marrying their high school sweetheart.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
That's why. That's why.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
I Oh, I know, but I think I register part
of it, and I was just confused.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
You were actually was?

Speaker 3 (33:09):
It was actually loading for me.

Speaker 5 (33:10):
Yeah, apology is still loading.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
So how do you feel about it now that.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
It's the same. I'm shocked. It still doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Now these comments.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
Wow, she sounds fun love that she got told off
by your grandma so funny. I'm hoping they're not together anymore.
She rates with a chicken dance lady at a friend's wedding.
Opi replied, Haha, no, they're not. She was one of
those people who always gave me social anxiety, like I'm
supposed to smile and pretend that I'm remotely interested in
what you're saying. Comment to I've never swell instant dump haha.

Speaker 5 (33:44):
On the internet, stays undefeated.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yeah for real? Coment three. Are they still together? I
have to know?

Speaker 4 (33:49):
Opie replied, haha, no, but this was not what broke
them up. She was an entitled nut, but he was
blindly and fatuous. Was she like really hot? Oh gotta
be god?

Speaker 1 (34:00):
I really she doesn't swell, But she doesn't but she
doesn't swell.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Hey, it's Sam. We're going to get back to these stories.
But here's three minutes of ads from our sponsors.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
My mother in law invited herself over for us sleepover
and is furious that we said, no, what are we
thirteen slumber parties? You don't have time for a slumber
body or adult.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
I got taxes to do.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
I twenty seven female, and my husband, thirty one male,
have been friends for nine years, dated for four years,
and married for two going on three years now. We
both did not have the best upbringing as children and
have always prided ourselves on building a healthy relationship and
home life for one another. By the way, this comes
from Scary Rip seventeen twenty three on the Okay Storytime

(34:44):
separate it. So when we started dating, my husband and
I started to spend a lot of our time with
my mother in law and her husband. Every weekend, and
yes I mean every weekend, with the exception of a
small handful we spent at her home, including every Christmas, Thanksgiving,
mother's and father's day and birthdays hers, her husband's, my husband's,

(35:06):
and mine. I have never been bothered by this, as
I was not very close with any of my family
at the start of our dating and quite enjoyed the
feeling of being a part of a family unit. This
evolved into spending each Friday through Sunday overnight at her house.
At the time, I thought we were forming meaningful memories.
As time passed, I started to miss out on other things, though,

(35:26):
such as hanging out with my best friend and sister
the rare times that they were free, and eventually checking
in on my disabled mom before she moved out of state.
Fast forward to when we got married. We had a
simple courthouse wedding and held what was our reception in
my mother in law's large backyard as she and my
husband requested. The few friends I invited and my parents
along with my sister were present, among a great many

(35:48):
other people my husband and my mother in law invited.
It was a great day. However, we ended up staying
fairly late at my mother in law's that we ended
up pushing back the start of our honeymoon to the
next day. Once we got to our hote tell we
were so taken in by the room that we wanted
to send videos of it to a couple people, including
our mother in law. This prompted her to ask if
she and her husband could come by to see the

(36:10):
room and use our hotel reservation as means to utilize
the pool that our hotel had that on their honeymoon.

Speaker 6 (36:18):
How are you gonna invite yourself to someone's honeymoon.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Their honeymoon? Why do you even want to be on
their honeymoon. Yeah, they're gonna be having the spicy sleep.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
They're like, I just want to make sure. I just
want to make sure they're doing it right.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Within an hour, she and her husband came into the
room and immediately started browsing around until she went into
the bathroom and found my washbag that she proceeded to
open up and start digging through. I unintentionally walked in
on her, and she immediately stopped what she was doing
to ask if the bag was mine, to which I
told her yes, then calmly walked over to zip it
back up. They then asked for our room card to

(36:53):
get into the pool and ask for us to meet
them down there. We eventually met them down at the
pool sometime later and they got tired, so they decided
to leave and give us some time to enjoy the
one night we had in our hotel. For the short
time we had it, it was great, but it did
involve one to two more phone calls from my mother
in law before our checkout the following day. Shortly into
our marriage, we decided to help out a friend by

(37:15):
moving them in. This was a horrible decision as it
turned into two long years of caring for this friend financially, emotionally,
and mentally. Twenty four to seven. This decision really put
a strain on my husband and I due to the
lack of time on weekends spent at my mother in
law's and a lack of time every other moment during
the week at home. This prompted us to make the
decision to move. We had previously lost a pregnancy during

(37:38):
the last year we spent with the roommate, so we
decided wherever we did move, it would have to be safe,
have plenty of space, and have a good school district
for the family we wanted to start trying for again.
We stumbled upon a beautiful three bedroom, two bathroom house.
The only catch was it was one and a half
hours away from our current city. Our friends and you

(37:58):
guessed it. My mother in law, move go there immediately.

Speaker 6 (38:02):
This person needs no consideration in terms of an hour
and a half is not so far away that it
is now inconceivable to see somebody also.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Blake, I think you need that hour and a half
to get away from your mom. Yeah, or your mother
in law.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yes, exactly.

Speaker 6 (38:15):
If she tries to say, like, this's just too far,
it's like it's literally like shorter than every movie you've
ever watched.

Speaker 3 (38:22):
Yeah, I drive an hour and a half frequently in LA.

Speaker 6 (38:26):
That is one and a half episodes of a television show.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
You'll be fine. After a month of debating and reasoning,
we decided to take a chance before the house was gone.
Finally we come to the present. My husband and I
have been in our new home since June twenty twenty four.
We got pregnant in August. During the first two months here,
we did not get a single weekend to enjoy each
other or the home, as we had to host my
mother in law or drive the hour and a half

(38:49):
out her to keep things happy, as she did not
approve of our decision at all. In fact, She fought
our decision leading up to the move, and even when
is far to say she was going through withdrawals from
us being close by anymore by the first month we
were here, when I got pregnant, she was the first
person to know and has since been more happy and
tolerant of our move out here. However, within the last month,

(39:10):
she left her husband and moved out of her house.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
WHOA.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
This has made her not only act more erratic, but
it has made her more entitled to our time and home.
We had recently planned to go see my disabled mom
out of state for Thanksgiving. Considering this holiday's family no
longer had any plans went through divorce, and we had
never spent a holiday with any family of mine. We
had asked my mother in law if she could watch
the dogs so that they didn't have to be in

(39:34):
the car for thirteen hours there and back within a
matter of a couple days, especially because one dog is
fifteen and a half years old wow and the other
is two years old with severe car anxiety. Because she
was no longer in her husband's house, we offered our
home up for her to stay during our trip. To
do so a win win for everyone.

Speaker 6 (39:51):
Or so we thought, I bet there's no way that
she overstays her welcome.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
Never this mother, no way. She then decided to invite
herself over the weekend before our trip to sleepover, as
that way she could discuss how we wanted her to
watch the dogs. My husband and I, after having many
conversations over the last year about setting healthy boundaries with her,
decided that now would be the time to exercise that

(40:17):
for the first time. She called them stating, my bag
is back for this weekend and I'm all ready to
stay the night. He politely responded, telling her, we're actually
really busy this weekend preparing for the trip. It would
really work better if we just hung out for the
day tomorrow. I don't think we'll have much time or
energy for a sleepover. All right, So big moment for
this guy. How is the mom gonna respond to say?

(40:38):
How dare you? I'm having withdraws, I'm going to the hospital.
I'm having a heart attack because you don't love me.
You're trying to kick me out of your life. This
brought out her usual reaction the few times he has
ever told her no, she runs to guilt trip him
with backhanded comments like I guess I'm not that important,
but I'm doing you a favor, et cetera. Except this

(41:00):
time it was more extreme, resulting in her flying off
the handle, sobbing and proceeding to hang up on him.
This time it really upset him. My husband is very
close with his mom. That's pretty evident.

Speaker 6 (41:11):
Well, I think that your husband is close to his
mom because she's developed a toxic, codependent, guilt trip relationship
with him.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
I think your husband is close to his mom because
he's one of those lead backpack kids and she's got
a leash on him. So when it is strained or
she treats him in a negative way, he takes it
very personally. He spent a portion of the night crying
and questioning himself on if what he said was genuinely wrong.
This is when I got upset. I never ever interject
myself into conflict, particularly when it is with my in laws,

(41:41):
as I have always viewed it as not my place.
But I was reminded of a recent talk I had
with my husband in which he told me that I
should start being able to voice my discomforts and concerns
to his family when they arise, as they have only
ever provided me a safe space to be able to talk.
At the time, it was something that made sense and
we both believed, so I thought maybe it was a
good time to exercise his suggestion, especially considering he just

(42:05):
exercised mine by trying to set a boundary with his
mom by saying no. So I messaged her saying that
I was aware that it may not be my place,
but I cared deeply for her son and to see
him hurt is upsetting, particularly in the rare case that
he doesn't do what she wants because she always jumps
to making him feel bad. I reminded her that he's
a grown man and is not only allowed to say no,

(42:25):
but shouldn't have to explain why. I also reminded her
that with having a baby on the way, if we
want some time just the two of us, as that
has been rare, that is also not wrong from him
or I to want. Lastly, I suggested that she speak
to him more calmly and apologize. This deeply upset her.
She began lashing out on me and trying to play
the victim. Are you aware of how you're treating me?

(42:47):
You know I'm trying to do you a favor, right
now and I don't have to. I didn't realize my
wanting to spend time with you guys wasn't want you
both want it. I immediately became the target to began
blowing up my phone. Then my husband's he ignored her,
and I've responded to her one last time saying I
wasn't treating her in any poor manner. I was simply
telling her she hurt his feelings and needs to respect

(43:08):
his option to say no when he wants to. She
sent a slew of other text to me, each getting
more short, fused and manipulative, so I stopped responding.

Speaker 6 (43:17):
This just feels like trademark, like weaponized defection.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
Oh yeah, She's like, well, well, one she's saying, oh,
I'm your mother. You gotta treat your mother like this.
And then she's saying, oh, well, I'm watching your dog,
so that gives me literally free range, like to do whatever,
free range to do whatever I want to.

Speaker 6 (43:34):
I hate when people do that where it's like, by
the way, I'm doing you a favor, which I don't
have to do. It's like, uh, yes, stupid, that's how
favors were do them because you're doing a favor ten
minutes past.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
Then my sister in law, who never speaks to me
and hardly knows me, messages me on Facebook. Why are
you being mean to my mom? You better check yourself
before I check you. I don't care that you're pregnant.
Oh my god, it's always about what you want. You
can traw my brother his money and you have him
out to the middle of nowhere an hour and a
half away. You're so weird. She don't even work. You

(44:04):
probably left around with his best friend while I live
with you. Guys, anyway, I think you kind of have
to cut these people off.

Speaker 6 (44:10):
I don't think you need them as a presence in
your life, especially you're about to have a baby, being pregnant,
trying to start advent. It's like you don't want these
people around your kid. I would around mind.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
I have, you know, say over how you parents, what
you do with your kid. I feel like they're just gonna, like,
you know, take every inch that they can get. My
mother in law had called my sister in law, who
lives all the way on the other side of the country,
to explode and point the finger at me for a
bunch of things that aren't even remotely true, but all
are things that resemble complaints for my mother in law

(44:42):
over the years. I've been working at the same job
for three years, but my mother in law doesn't see
it as real work because my husband makes more money.
This is something she poked at me for the entire time.
The accusation I cheated on my husband with our roommate
also has stemmed from my mother in law's complaints about
how the roommate and I were too close. She usually
accused our roommate of having a crush on me. That accusation,

(45:04):
in particular was hurtful because I not only had seen
what cheating did to my parents' marriage growing up, I
had been cheated on in a previous engagement, and it
broke me. I have never, nor will I ever, be
the type to do something that I view as heartless
to someone I care so deeply for. I'd also like
to throw out there that my husband works from home,
so he was there twenty four seven. There would have

(45:24):
been no possible way for me to cheat, even if
I wanted to. Also, when we told my mother in
law that we were pregnant, we told her numerous times,
do not tell anyone this is our news to share
We were very serious about this rule because when we
lost the baby the previous year, she had told many
people and we had to share the difficult news ourselves
that we wouldn't be parents just yet.

Speaker 6 (45:46):
Oh my god, I'm cutting her off after that.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
I yeah, I don't understand how your husband has let
all this slide. We wanted to avoid that this time around.
If things did not shake out. Okay, we did not
yet tell his sister that we were pregnant. My mother
in law did. This further broke my trust. I had
told my sister in law that I was not being mean,
that I was talking to my mother in law in
a calm, adult manner, but that at this point, with
how nasty she was getting, she could think and feel

(46:10):
whatever she wanted to about the situation and me, she
got even angrier and more volatile. I at this point
was so upset. I gave my phone to my husband.
When he saw what his family, but particularly his sister,
had been saying, he lost it. He called his sister,
screaming a point which she has never gotten to with
anyone in our relationship, saying she had no right to

(46:31):
ever speak to me that way. She proceeded to threaten
to show up to the home to take care of me.
She's insane. She's insane and also lives across the country.

Speaker 6 (46:40):
Cut her off, honestly, maybe like, call call somebody. I
would if for threatening my pregnant wife, I'd be like,
all right, Sis, I'm gonna try to ruin your life now. Yeah,
You're sorry. Bye, you've crossed the line, to which he.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Responded with letting her know he would call the police, yes,
and that with this behavior, she will not be allowed
around our child once it's born. This whole thing up
into now a week's long fight. I blocked my sister
in law on everything, because, aside from the abhorrent action
to threaten me while I'm pregnant, my husband has told
me plenty about her fabricating stories for her benefit and
instigating physical altercations with people for whatever reason she could

(47:15):
during her lifetime, usually to the point of landing her
in juvie several times before she turned team. My mother
in law, however, whom I respected on a deeper level
than my own family, decided to carry out her fight
with me for about three more days, each message and
day getting worse. You accuse me of stealing her son
away and that I'm responsible for her losing him a

(47:36):
second time in her life, and then basically said I
was rich for expecting her to feel bad for me
over what her daughter said after I attacked her. I
tried to reason with her during these three days, reminding
her several times that it was inappropriate to cause such
stress to a high risk pregnant woman, like at this point,
just block her, block her and call the police and
say that you're being harassed. Yep, especially with how long

(47:58):
we waited for this baby. She just wanted to keep fighting,
so I unfortunately came to the conclusion that I needed
to block her. Thank you for taking my advice, but
the time being as well. Since then, both my sister
in law and mother in law have dug in to
attack my husband as much as they could, and have
further tried to isolate him from other means of support
in his family. He's had to block his sister for

(48:20):
her now fabricating stories about him and saying horrid things
about him that I don't care to repeat because they're
so bad. He then spent two weeks trying to reason
with his mom, practically begging her for a phone call
so that they may try to sit and have a
constructive conversation about her actions and how this all started.
She ignored him up until tonight when he said he
was no longer going to be the only one working

(48:41):
to mend the relationship and in turn found someone else
to manage the baby shower. Considering the current state of
things with her. Currently, you can join us live every
week to at three PMPSD on YouTube, Facebook and TikTok
just tap her profile.

Speaker 6 (48:53):
Indeed, well, we set a boundary in he put his
foot down and he said, you will not be I'm
not going to be one side. Just yeah, trying to
fix this.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
You gotta put in the work.

Speaker 6 (49:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:03):
It is insane to me that this all started because
she said I'm coming to sleep over and they were like, hey,
we're busy that day, and then she proceeded to throw
a fit, a huge freaking tantrum, got her daughter involved,
who then threatened Opee over literally just saying like, hey
we're busy that night.

Speaker 6 (49:23):
Yeah, No, it's uh.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
These people are crazy. She immediately called them and lost
her mind, same old story of almost a month later,
how she is the victim, how I attacked her, how
I am a horrible daughter in law and wife then
trying to talk poorly about my disabled mother. When he
decided not to budge on holding her accountable for this
whole thing, she hung up on him again, just like

(49:45):
she did the phone call that started this all, and
he decided to stop engaging with her entirely until she
can calm down a bit. So after that long mouthful,
tell me, am, I the ale.

Speaker 6 (49:56):
No confident, No, no.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
You're the butterfly and this butterfly effect of a story.

Speaker 6 (50:04):
And you know what, y'all are both gonna be better
off for not having these Just like, toxic doesn't even
cut it just it's radioactive, and it's that really annoying
kind of toxic where it's like it's not outright negative.
At first, it's like it's the weaponized positivity, the weaponized
but I just love you so much, and then if
you still don't budge, then it flips in does a

(50:26):
one to eighty, and then she just started to just
get attacked.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
But that is the end of that story. So we'll
see you for the next one.

Speaker 6 (50:32):
Yep, we got another one coming right up, Hey, John
ogi host here, we're gonna get back to this episode.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
But a quick three minute break of ads from a
sponsor's keeping the show alive.

Speaker 6 (50:41):
My selfish mother in law ruined my wedding so badly
that it hasn't even registered that I'm married.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
You were just blue screening the whole time.

Speaker 6 (50:50):
Hi, y'all, I've been a listener of the podcast for
a long time and just needed event about what all
happened with my wedding because I'm still trying to process this.
I don't want to take it out on my mother
in law before our honeymoon. My mother in law has
caused little bits of chaos here and there throughout the
wedding process, but it was all things that I could
overlook or ignore until yesterday. By the way, this comes

(51:12):
from user baywatch Blondie on the r slash okay storytime subreddit.
So for starters, my husband and I wanted to get
married in October, but we couldn't because she and her
husband had cruises scheduled for the whole month. We had
changed the date twice before we ended up landing on
a date that we went with, and even then they
had a cruise scheduled for that weekend. But I put

(51:32):
my foot down and said enough A few months went
by and we continue to plan. Eventually I started to
bring her into the wedding process. I have a lot
of childhood trauma when it comes to trusting people to
actually help me with things, and so I was working
exclusively with my husband for a long time. When it
came to our wedding planning. As we approached the date,
we invited her to come to the venue with us

(51:54):
so we could figure out the layout. She has planned
a bunch of weddings for my husband's stepsibl, but they
were in smaller venues Because of that, these weddings were
laid out where the ceremony was happening while people were
already seated at their tables for the reception. I had
gone to one of these weddings and saw pictures of
the others before we got engaged, and did not like

(52:16):
the aesthetics of how it was laid out. It was
always clunky, the bride was tripping over some sort of chair,
and the pictures didn't turn out that great. People also
had their backs seated to the ceremony, so they couldn't
fully see what was going on.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
Yeah, why would I don't understand the reason.

Speaker 6 (52:30):
She expected us to do this layout, despite having enough
room to have the ceremony in a front yard and
the reception in the backyard.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
As we were getting married at an airbnb.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
Kind of like the mullet of weddings.

Speaker 6 (52:43):
Business in the front party in the back. I told
her I did not want to do this and that
instead I would rather just have the chairs moved from
the ceremony to the reception. She kept insisting to do
it her way, but eventually dropped the subject. As we
got closer to the wedding date, my husband requested that
we start bringing his mom and other family members into
help us, as my family wasn't able to assist. I

(53:05):
have gone to a lot of therapy when it comes
to trusting people, so I decided to take a chance
and trust his mom. Things were going well at first
until about three days before the wedding. The forecast changed
drastically for us, and we were questioning whether we were
going to need to get tense and canopies because of
the percentage of rain. Chance my mother in law took

(53:27):
this opportunity to insist to me that we should do
the ceremony at the same place as the reception, which
is such a weird thing to be hung up on because.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
It's like, we have to do it.

Speaker 6 (53:38):
It's not a thing. Stop making this a thing. It's
not a thing. I explained that we had a plan
to be able to move forward with our original layout,
but she kept arguing with me.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Eventually I came.

Speaker 6 (53:50):
Up with the compromise that if the rain was still
a high percentage chance the day of the wedding, we
would still have the ceremony separate from the reception, but
they would both be in the back ye, so it
would be a faster transition.

Speaker 3 (54:02):
Why do we need to transition so fast?

Speaker 6 (54:04):
When I told her this, her response was, quote, I'm
glad you came down from your pedestal and back to reality.

Speaker 3 (54:11):
What is this freaking knock her off her bedestale real quick.

Speaker 6 (54:16):
I would immediately knock her off her pedestal as having
anything to do with the planning. I'd be like, and
I'm tipping it over right now.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
So I didn't realize it was your wedding.

Speaker 6 (54:25):
Yeah, I was really hurt by this back to reality comment,
but I let it go. I let my husband know
the next day what her comment was, but we both
decided she was probably just stressed because there were a
lot of little kids running around in her house as
the wedding party was putting together their bouquets during that time. However,
the next morning, after brunch with my grandparents, I was
informed that they decided they wanted to haul all of

(54:48):
the wedding stuff in their trailer to the venue, roughly
five hours before they had originally told us. The day before,
they had already told us that they likely weren't going
to be at the rehearsal, but would drop the things
off after her husband got off work. He got off
work early that day, so they decided they wanted to
try and beat traffic. The problem was I didn't have

(55:08):
everything gathered to go into the trailer yet. I was
in such a rush that I forgot important things at
my house, including the marriage license and the rings, and
needed someone to go get them for me. We also
had people from out of town that didn't have vehicles
who needed to get to the venue. After everything was
packed up and people were loaded into the cars, there
was no room for me to go to the venue.

(55:30):
My husband was at the airport picking some more people
up and was going to meet us at the venue.
At the time of the rehearsal, Why are.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
They in charge of picking people up? But you gotta
figure it out, like all of those guests need to
figure it out. This is insane. I would never ask
the bride or the groom on their wedding day.

Speaker 6 (55:49):
Well, I think, I think this is technically not the
wedding day, it's the rehearsal.

Speaker 3 (55:54):
Still, no, I'm getting an uber.

Speaker 6 (55:56):
I ended up calling my mom to give me a
ride and also helped me carry the rest of the
stuff to the venue because things were so rushed that
half of our food was forgotten. I cried in front
of his mom's house for about forty five minutes until
my mom got there because I felt so alone and abandoned.
Everyone got to the venue before me and started trying
to plan without me. I called my maid of honor

(56:18):
as well as one of the groomsmen that I've known
since childhood, and they took over and made sure that
nothing was set up without my permission. It's my understanding
that this frustrated my mother in law because she was
told she couldn't do things the way she wanted because
of the rushing of the trailer, and because I got
to the venue so late. Because I was left behind
we didn't set up the night before like we were

(56:40):
supposed to. This meant that the entire day of the wedding,
all of the wedding party was running around trying to
set up the wedding, and we did not get to
rehearse anything. This resulted in many things being forgotten or
missing because I was not able to set them up
the night before. Mother in law told me she was
going to be at the venue by two and instead
showed up at the time of the wedding. Her daughter

(57:01):
was supposed to be one of the flower girls, but
she let her daughter run around on the playground outside
and didn't want to try to wrangle her into her
flower girl dress while she was wet and muddy, so
she decided to skip her being a flower girl and
didn't inform anyone, including her toddler daughter, who tried to
join the girls as they walked down the aisle. I
feel like at this point the mother in law was

(57:21):
doing this out of spite.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
I think so. I think she's just like, whatever, you
don't want me to help out at the way, or
you don't want me like to listen to any of
my ideas that you don't get any of my help.

Speaker 6 (57:31):
I guess we're gonna I guess you guys can have
all the fun in the world. Moving your tables and
chairs around when you have to do the reception separately
from the ceremony exhausting. She also did not sit in
the reserved seating during the ceremony, and so my husband's
family seating was practically empty because they all stood behind.

(57:51):
I found out later that this was because she decided
she wanted to take pictures despite the signs that said
no cell phones please. Right after that ceremony, we began
taking pictures. While we were taking pictures, we were informed
that the guests were starving and needed to eat. We
kept repeatedly being bombarded with that, to the point that
my husband eventually compromised and said, okay, go ahead and

(58:13):
serve everyone. When we made our entrance, the dance floor
was stopping wet with towels, as no one had dried
off the dance floor from the rain before they put
the canopy over it. The fire pit was not going,
so it was cold, and almost all of the food
that I had specifically added to the menu for myself
was gone. I had bought nice plates and silverware, but

(58:35):
as I looked around. Many people were eating out of
styrofoam to go containers because his mother was serving people
in those to go containers, despite the fact that it
was buffet style. Mother in law shouldn't be allowed to
plan a wedding for the rest of her life.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
Literally, never again. I don't understand why she thinks this
is good.

Speaker 6 (58:53):
She made me and my husband's plates into go containers
and handed them to me with no silverware or drinks,
and my food was cold. As my husband sat down
to finally eat, she came to us and told us
that we needed to cut the cake because people were
beginning to leave. The wedding had been less than an
hour in and we hadn't even had our first dance
because the dance floor was still messed up. When we

(59:15):
were having our first dance, I asked my husband if
we still wanted to do the parent dances, and he
sadly looked down and said, I don't know where my
mom is, so probably not.

Speaker 3 (59:26):
This is devastating. If I was at this wedding, I
feel so intensely bad for these people.

Speaker 6 (59:31):
My dad was lined up and ready to go, so
I did my father daughter dance and one of the
groom's been tracked down his mom so that he could
have his dance with her. As soon as the cake
was cut, she and her husband and daughter left, which
prompted other people to start leaving because family had left.

Speaker 3 (59:50):
I would like sob, I would soop.

Speaker 6 (59:52):
We had no garter to toss, no bouquet, no speeches.
We did not get to do the shots with everybody
that we wanted to. I barely got to eat, and
I didn't have any of the drinks that I had
specifically gotten for myself. The next morning, rolls around to
pack everything up, and things that I needed for the
honeymoon got put into the trailer because she was rushing

(01:00:13):
us to get off the property because she wanted to
go back home. The entire process from the day before
the wedding to the day after the wedding was her
rushing us because she didn't want to be there, and
it was obvious in the middle of all that. As
a little bonus, my mother also had a complete meltdown
at my maid of honor in front of the entire
wedding party the night before, while I was half dressed,

(01:00:34):
trying on the wedding dress to make sure it actually fit.
The meltdown was so bad that it triggered my sister
and I to disassociate completely.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
My other bridesmaids were.

Speaker 6 (01:00:45):
Crying while my maid of honor and her thought, my
mother has never liked my maid of honor because my
maid of honor speaks her mind and was there to
witness my mother being emotionally abusive after a major surgery
I had a couple years ago. You know what is
way easier than major surgery is joining us when we
go live every weekday at three pm on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok,

(01:01:06):
and Twitch. All you gotta do is tap on our
profile and you're in. Just tap it so easy we
might have be live right now. Literally, cut your mom,
cutut them off, cut your parents off, cut the mom out.
Where are the dads? Yeah, where are the rest of
anyone with sense?

Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
Literally anyone else? Find them and cut your mom's off.

Speaker 6 (01:01:27):
Really, all you have to do is not make a
scene and make someone else's special day about you and
your weird obsession with combining things that don't need to
be combined. All in all, I'm trying to figure out
if I say anything to my mother in law or not. Oh,
you say something, My husband is very hurt by her actions.
She did not get to go to her oldest son's
wedding because he had a courthouse wedding and did not

(01:01:50):
invite her. This was her one chance to be at
her other son's wedding, and she completely sabotaged the entire
thing and acted as if it was a burden for
her to be there. Oh and she called me by
his ex's name earlier today by accident while we were
cleaning things up.

Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
That would be the I would just like, I mean,
I know we already talked about the moments where we'd
start sobbing, but I would that would be a moral
of this.

Speaker 6 (01:02:13):
Story is don't be this mother, don't be this.

Speaker 3 (01:02:16):
Mother in law. Like, cut your mother in law's off, and.

Speaker 6 (01:02:19):
They're like this, boundaries and discussions need to be had
here because this was intentional.

Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
This is an accidentally. Absolutely she took.

Speaker 6 (01:02:26):
It personally that you didn't let her literally have her
entire way with your wedding.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
But that is the end of that story.

Speaker 6 (01:02:32):
It is. And we got another one coming right up
right now.

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
My sister in law posted a picture of my father
in the ICU, then got upset when I.

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
Told her to the lead it icee us in the chat.

Speaker 3 (01:02:43):
I've never made a post before, but this happened a
while ago and has a long term ramplications on my family,
and I want to know if it's really me who
is the a hole in this situation. I, forty female,
and my brother thirty two male, have not spoken in
almost a year because of the situation, and our relationship
has been strained even longer, mostly because of sister in law.

(01:03:03):
By the way, this comes from Seaside Escape to on
the Okay Storytime Separady. So, about eighteen months ago, my
dad had a medical procedure that didn't go well and
he ended up having a stroke and was in the
ICU for a very long time. I was his guardian
at the time, so I was in charge of making
his medical and financial decisions. There were restrictions on how
many people could be in the room at the same time,

(01:03:25):
so I wasn't there when my bro and sister in
law came to visit. They brought their daughter as well,
and I found out the next morning when I checked
Facebook that they had made a post asking for thoughts
and prayers, which to me is cringe and not something
I would ever do nor would my dad. But what
got me upset was when I looked at her pictures
and video and saw my dad with tubes, et cetera

(01:03:46):
in his throat in the background. I was absolutely furious
because I thought that was such a huge invasion of
his privacy. My dad is not huge on social media
and he does not post pictures of himself or talk
about his personal life online. Like both my parents, they
are lurkers and just like to look at the picks
of family and friends and see what's happening in the community.
Not only was it posted by sister in law and

(01:04:08):
brother was tagged, but my sister in law's mom also
shared it to her own profile for all her random
friends to see. I immediately called my mom to see
if I was justified in my feelings of absolute rage,
and she would also know him the best since she
is his ex and they also had similar online styles.
She agreed and didn't think he would want that, and
said she definitely wouldn't want a picture of her online

(01:04:30):
like that, nor would she want everyone to know her business,
and that she even needed a plea for prayers. So
I texted my brother and told him that the post
needed to come down. And that I didn't think it
was appropriate and that he would not like that. My
brother said, it's not like it's a big secret he
had a stroke.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
Uh what?

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
The only people who know need to know your whole
friend group on Facebook and sister in law's mom's friend
group does not need to anyway. While he didn't apparently
agree with me, he said he would have taken it down.
This is where things got bad. While texting my brother bother,
my sister in law sends the longest text to me
to tell me why I'm wrong. Basically, this is a
common theme in our relationship dynamic. I text, call, I

(01:05:08):
hang out with my brother, and sister in law makes
sure to text or email me and tell me talking
points to have with him. Why she can't let that
man talk for himself is beyond me. Actually, I do know.
He apparently can't handle his family, which is odd since
we bend over backwards for them, since my mom and
I are push over people pleasers. Working on it y'all, well,
it seems like you are. You are taking the right

(01:05:29):
steps saying hey, don't post that picture anyway. I'm apparently
selfish and a bee for not letting them share a
pick and video of their daughter singing to her papa.
To me, this is just attention seeking behavior. No one
needs to know what is going on in his personal life.
If you want to share, feel free to call the
relevant people who need to know, send the video and
a text to your mom, et cetera. But to share

(01:05:50):
a picture of someone in the ICU, incapacitated with tubes
all over and unable to give consent just seems like
weird a behavior to me.

Speaker 6 (01:05:58):
I think the behavior is that it's like, it's I
want attention. It's making me look, my look, this person
is somebody asking me if I'm okay about this exactly, like.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
It's like, oh, you're so sweet, like dance for your papa.
I mean, what are we even talking about here? But
this caused a huge fight, and my mom took my
side in this, and ever since then we haven't spoken.
My sister in law blocked me from Facebook. I can't
even search her name, which I didn't even know was possible.
She also had her sister mom and others do the same.
It's fine because if I wanted to see your page

(01:06:29):
and catch up on my niece, I have many ways
to do so, though I never do it. Honestly, just
hurts too much. Since this happened last year, I missed
my niece's birthday and all the holidays. My brother never
even texted me for my birthday. When my dad passed
right before Christmas, he left us a little bit of money.
There wasn't much left after in home care costs and
getting him set up with a skilled nursing facility, but

(01:06:51):
we had to meet in person to get this taken
care of. I brought my brother a gift since this
meeting landed on his actual birthday. The whole thing was
weird since I hadn't seen him in so long, and
especially without sister in law. I really wanted to talk
to him and got the guts As we were leaving.
He seemed to be trying to dip the f out
of there, but I caught up with him and gave
him his gift and said, I'd really love to talk sometime,

(01:07:12):
and then I miss him and my niece. He said
that is really hard for him because he feels he
has to choose between his wife and sister, and he
has to choose his wife. I said, I get it,
but it just seems so silly to be fighting about this,
and it's not what Dad would want, and Mom hates
having to do two separate everythings, Holiday's, Mother's Day, et cetera,
and it's really hard on her. He didn't seem to
argue and said Mom was fine with it. She isn't

(01:07:34):
and tells me quite often how it makes her physically
ill that this all has happened. I offered to sit
down with him and her or just her or all
of us or whatever. I just wanted to talk and
get this figured out. That was eleven months ago. Six
months ago, I texted and said I missed him and
said maybe we should get a drink sometime. No answer.
My guess is she won't let him reach out to
me because she rules the roost in that house and

(01:07:56):
always has him not even texting me seems pretty odd.
I have a lot of theories about what's going on,
but I don't know. So am I the a hole
for getting upset with my sister in law for posting
a picture of my dad online after having a stroke
and being incapacitated in the ICU, even though that decision
apparently split the whole family up. By the way, we
would never want to split you up. From us. So

(01:08:18):
just join us live every weekday a three pmpst on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok,
and Twitch. Just tap a profat.

Speaker 6 (01:08:23):
It just takes one tap. We might even be live
right now, coach, and you should go check who knows.
It is a little bit left to the story. But
before we get into it, any final thoughts about this terrible,
terrible sister in law and her kind of cowed husband.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
It feels like he's a little bit whimmed.

Speaker 6 (01:08:40):
It's hard when you get told happy wife, happy life,
and your wife behaves like this. Yeah, so you.

Speaker 3 (01:08:47):
Gotta leave all of your family behind.

Speaker 6 (01:08:49):
Don't be taking pictures of people in the ICU while
they're incapacitated to get attention. Yeah, it's like so such
an unhuman thing to do. It's like a detic empathy,
it is.

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
It's also it's like when you know, you have big
creators who go and take videos of like unhoused people
and they're like, look, I'm doing such a good job,
don't you think so? And it's like, okay, well we
should maybe be a little bit more respectful.

Speaker 6 (01:09:14):
Yeah, maybe just like do that instead of like turning
them into a prop.

Speaker 3 (01:09:18):
Yeah, they're no dancing monkey and neither is uh the stats,
Well they are.

Speaker 6 (01:09:23):
For one hundred dollars. No, that's not good. Don't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
We can't be doing bad.

Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
But there is more to the story.

Speaker 6 (01:09:29):
Edit.

Speaker 3 (01:09:29):
This wasn't a full on headshot of him or anything,
but a pick slash video as well as a reel
of their daughters singing to him sitting on his hospital bed.
There was a shot or two of them in the
background since he was barely seen, and they didn't think
it was a big deal.

Speaker 6 (01:09:42):
And I definitely did.

Speaker 3 (01:09:43):
As I said in another comment, I was getting texts
asking if he was passed away or dying after that post,
and I thought I was just in very poor taste
and not what he would have been okay with. Epeist
forty two says what did op say to sister in
law in conversation that led to break and sister in
law blocking Opee and her brother and iaw contacting her.
Did Ope call sister in law or her daughter age

(01:10:03):
an attention seeker or worse? Or is that just how
Opie refers to them here? What did Opie say to
lead to being blocked from one conversation? And Opie responds,
I mean while I and people I know wouldn't want
to be pictured ill like that. In ICU, it sounds
like it was a video of niece with the father
in the background and her own brother before any interaction
with his wife. The sister in law didn't see it

(01:10:23):
as a big deal. Sister in law was wrong, but
her husband, Opie's brother, clearly had no problem with it.
And if Opie wants to say sister in law is
a sociopath who blocked her for no reason, okay, But
I have to ask what exactly did Opie say to
sister in law and did she Insultanie also or if
Opie can't remember, maybe it was really bad. Opie says no,
I never called sister in law or anyone attention seeking,

(01:10:45):
and especially never said anything about my niece. When sister
in law butted into my brother and I's conversation with
a very lengthy text, I asked why she was speaking
to me that way and why my brother could not
talk to me himself, and I firmly said it's not
what he would have wanted, and thought it was disrespectful.
I was getting text from people asking if he had
passed away or was passing away, and just wanted his

(01:11:06):
wishes respected. She said to not speak to her like
a child, and she didn't see anything wrong with that,
And hundreds of other people do it online.

Speaker 1 (01:11:12):
Yes, so that makes you a child.

Speaker 3 (01:11:14):
Hundreds of other people do a lot of things every day,
and some of those things are illegal.

Speaker 6 (01:11:19):
But don't speak to me like that because I don't
like being told when my actions are not acceptable.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
I said it wasn't about her, and it was about
him and what he would want. I was called immature
and childish, et cetera. I don't know. It was a
bit of a crap show. I always just kept the
peace and never had a backbone in any past family situation.
This was the first time they probably heard me talk
like this. But I was so angry for my dad
and finally had enough. Wow, And that is the end

(01:11:45):
of that story. It is I'm proud of op for
standing up for herself and her dad.

Speaker 6 (01:11:49):
Yeah, as am I, because I think that is the
right move unless dad is Unless dad has like a
hundred videos of himself doing TikTok dances like that's another story.
But like, but no, it's crazy for them to be.
First of all, that comment where it was like, did
you call them attention seeking. Newsflash, buddy, that's what that was.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
They literally were like, when we're being attention seeking, every
single thing that is posted on social media is posted
to get attention.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
Yes, like, and that doesn't necessarily mean.

Speaker 6 (01:12:20):
Everything is bad, but it's like no one posts something
because they're like, I want no one to see this
for me exactly. Like that's I don't know. So it
definitely feels like she kind of she turned her father
in laws stay in the ICU into a commodity for
her to gain social credit exaccurrency exactly so to speak.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
Yes, but that is the end of that story and
this episode. So if you love us, make sure to
