You're oddly combative on this. I've found it difficult. So yes it is. I don't understand what is combative about her responses to you? I'm just so aggressive lol. |

I was in the 3rd row of a mini van and she was in the front seat. She was telling the girls in the front and I was kind of like "what did you say?" With as close as she claims we are, I think I should have been told not had to overhear it. Oh your annoyed she didn't directly tell you. I thought you were annoyed she told someone at your party. It's a little of both. She was suppose to be my bff. 🤷🏻♀️ |

I think It's ok to turn down any invitation anytime for any reason (or no reason at all). FTFM I was going to say the same. As long as you actually rsvp then it doesn't really matter why. If you don't rsvp then you're just an asshole (from someone having a birthday party next weekend who hasn't heard from half of them) This. I don't care if someone RSVPs no to something I invite them too. It's their business. I do, however, have an issue with people who don't RSVP at all. |

I definitely appreciate adult only gatherings. My bitterness stems from me turning the invite down and being guilt-ed into attending and leaving my premie infant with a sitter before I was comfortable. I may just still be upset that I allowed a bridezilla friend to guilt me into something I was not comfortable with. i mean, yiu can't blame her. You said yes. You could've said no. |

Are preferred car colors about to become regional here?
I have never taken into account climate/weather when looking at the color of cars.

Is it really hard to see a gray car in the rain? Yes. Especially if you live somewhere it rains a lot. I had a grey car in CA, moved it to TX, everything was fine. Moved it to MD and started having problems, I have since sold it and purchased a different color mom car. I still have a hard time seeing grey cars now, Have yiu had your eyes checked? I think this is a personal problem. |

Could the father of your baby have stayed home to watch the baby? |

The stripper showed up early to one of my friend's bridal showers. Grandmas and aunts and pearl clutchers were going to leave and we'd transition into the bachelorette. It was pretty entertaining 😂

And as people have pointed out - it was 100% on me because I let myself be guilt-ed into going. |

I don't understand what is combative about her responses to you? Ok. Saying "no it's not" when I just said I have found it difficult is strange. I don't have a reason to lie about something so mundane. If that doesn't read combative to you, cool beans. At a 1.5. Okay, so flip that. You responded "Yes it is" to my saying I didn't find it difficult. I responded to you the exact way you did me. At a -3. |

Is announcing the same as just telling someone one on one? Announcing to me is making a big announcement. I was in the 3rd row of a mini van and she was in the front seat. She was telling the girls in the front and I was kind of like "what did you say?" With as close as she claims we are, I think I should have been told not had to overhear it. She doesn't sound like the most thoughtful friend. I agree that it would have been nice if she told you before hand. |

All my cars have been metallic colours. Not intentionally because they have been pre owned but a coincidence.
My mother also really believed red cars had worse luck with scratches, mechanics and accidents then any other colour car.

It's not the act of responding that's combative. Ok. I usually don't get involved in shenanigans around here but this has got to be the most passive aggressive, need to have the last word,response ever. Just say nothing if you don't need to add anything else to the conversation. |

Yes, or really I'd rather not tell them at all and then announce the birth. That would be great. I usually am puking everywhere so if that was happening i would want no one to know. But by the fourth pregnancy I was showing at day 2 Yes, this is my third and I look approximately 6 months at 11 weeks. I'm not telling and so far people are pretending not to notice.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk My husband, who tinkers with cars in his spare time, told me red is the most expensive typically to match and paint. I avoid red because I believe the old wive's tale that they get pulled over the most. That's probably not true, but *insert shruggy guy* |

I made a point yesterday of saying I do a lot of both the stereotypically male and female jobs in my house. But if something crashes in the middle of the night I fully believe MH should be the one to get up and check.

My response to shorts.....
I have a boy that's off the charts. He's 5 and the size of an average 7 yr old. Shorts are t difficult to find for him. That being said, it was more challenging when he was a younger. Those adjustable waist bands that were mentioned were more difficult to find, at least in my area, 3-4 years ago.
edit: he turned 5 in march

Me too, but if we had a six week old premie baby and I felt like I had to go to support my friend, he would be staying home with the baby. No question. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Mine too. No it's not. Maybe my idea of too short is just way different. You're oddly combative on this. I've found it difficult. So yes it is. Combative? Huh? Am I reading this right? She said that her kid is also in the 99th percentile in height. How is that combative? Scout, please tell me what your ideal, non combative responsive would've been. |

Yall throw around "combative", "angry", "aggressive" around here like it's nobody's business. It's so odd to me.

Just say nothing if you don't need to add anything else to the conversation. So she's not allowed to respond? Why is pbfox being singled out when the back and forth was pretty much the same for both of them? I usually stay out of the arguments that don't involve me here as well, but I'm feeling a way about the responses toward PB. I had an opinion that I believe posting "ok" is passive aggressive and very need to have the last wordy. I love pbfox and she knows this. I would have the same opinion if scout posted it. Or HE. Or pobre. Eta: or anyone else |

No question. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thank you. Different situation though, as we dont have a 6wk old (we have a 2yp and 4yo)... Pls tell this to my bitter ass husband who is acting like I'm preposterous for even suggesting that i go solo to my cousin's wedding in the event we cant find a sitter for our kids. Hes all "you're gonna go?? Without your husband?!" Ummm...yes. yes i am. |

People do the one word responses all the time and lonefox can respond however she wants. I also thought her UO was good. I've never shopped for girls so I can't comment to that but her opinion is totally valid. |
