Mom says he's always talking about stuff he wishes he had time to do on my house. That's just so my dad showing his love.
So sweet.
Hell, my SIL has said that if she ever divorces my brother (when he's REALLY pissed her off,) she's keeping us
We totally kept my ex-aunt-in-law in the divorce. We liked her better. We kept her.

Yep! It's how I got my Aunt Sharon!
It's a valid lifestyle choice.
My brother would be willing to pick me up, but he'd probably be a couple of hours late. Time management is not his thing, but he's a pretty good guy otherwise.
It seems my extended family has some excitement/drama going on. My cousin's 19 yr old daughter announced last week that she's getting married on New Year's Day instead of the planned date in late summer. No one is making a major drama about it, but there is some irritation with the lack of notice. Her brother and her uncle won't be able to get off work to attend. I'm just amused by the reason she's giving. She says it's because of how much money they'll save on rent.
Has anyone pointed out to her that she could start saving money on the rent right away and still get married on the original schedule? Most married people I know started saving money on the rent well before the wedding, in some cases decades before.
Very practical! Plus, small intimate wedding right away is much cheaper than a planned Summer wedding!

I'm sure she's afraid of scandalizing the (Southern Baptist) family. If she asked me I'd tell her to go ahead and shack up, but I don't expect anyone to ask for my opinion.
I took the taxi home from my appendectomy at 14 because I was tired of spending time in hospital, and could not be arsed to wait until I was officially discharged (or given my antibiotics script, for that matter). Simpler then, not to get the fam to pick me up. Worked out just fine, and started a long history of cabs to and from the hospital, bleeding or not.

When one of my uncles got divorced in his midlife crisis after decades of marriage, we kept our aunt as part of the family in her own right. The new girlfriend didn't become part of the family in the same way, and was kind of outraged that she wasn't the one treated as the grieving widow a few years later at his funeral. (Whatevs, losing the father of your children trumps losing the boyfriend your lack of support helped send on his downward spiral, Ms. Cheap Substitute.)
I can't imagine a hospital discharging a 13yo unaccompanied, into a cab these days. I suspect that CPS would get involved, so there's that.
