I was married in a courthouse, with $10 rings from Walmart. My husband said to me that he was sorry he couldn’t buy me a diamond ring. I said honey, you could tie a bread tie around my finger, I’m not worried about a ring. I have you and that is what’s important! I know so many toxic and superficial people, and they said I deserved better. 10 years later, we are still very happily married and my superficial friends are still single and complaining lol. Neither my husband or I wear our rings, we know we’re married and that’s what matters! Great video!!

I'd be taking my brother to court if I was that brother. That poor kid doesn't have a chance. Absolutely heartbreaking.

[@skarebear2470]

I’m an early childhood educator, so that story made my tear up so much! It hurt my heart to think of that poor child in such a situation…. This father could technically be considered neglectful of their child (I would need more info to say for sure as there are many questions unanswered) but just based on the info here, this seems like it could be a case of neglect… (again cannot say 100 %, as we are not getting the full picture) which falls under the Umbrella of child abuse…. as this child is only having their base needs fulfilled… and their emotional and social needs are not being met by the father. They are getting these needs fulfilled by their educators at daycare (since the child calls them “mama”) and by the brother and mother of the dad…. but not from the child’s actual father (again this is only based on the the info from the Reddit post) I agree with “refrigerateafteropening” that if that was my bro, I would want to help that child ❤️ 😭😭😭so heartbreaking 💔❤️‍🩹💔

Yes but when you have certain medical conditions you cannot conceive or sometimes cannot care for the child and I'm guessing this is why she's not having kids. Plus her basically being a mom to Sika when she was young didn't help Im guessing. Either way yes she would be a lovely mom and she IS a lovely person.

[@ajfurek]

My parents were married for 63 yrs. My mother paid for the wedding, the rings, suits and dresses even for the mothers. She never owned a diamond ring. (She had a fake one for a cruise that they took and she felt she wanted something a bit fancy. She never wore it.)

[@CraftyWitch1990]

My mum and dads entire wedding (rings, outfits, flowers, cars, photographer, marriage license fee etc) cost them £180 (about $230) back in 1981 and they were married up until my mum sadly passed last year. I don't remember either of them wearing their wedding rings but they didn't need to. They knew they were married and that was that. There's people these days spending 20k plus on a wedding and still aren't happy so money definitely doesn't buy happiness.

[@ajfurek]

@@CraftyWitch1990 My own wedding cost $351.00 in 1985 and that included the honeymoon. I also paid for it. We did have rings, but not diamonds. The biggest expense was flying in the minister from another State. He was a college roommate of my older brother and had preformed my brother's wedding.

[@ladypseudo6096]

When my boyfriend's brother lived here, they would both consistently forget to lock the front door, (one time they left it OPEN, and I woke up at 3AM to use the restroom and saw it wide OPEN.) or they will turn on the stove and forget it was on, and I'd wake up middle of the night to get water and see the electric burner light on. I got so fed up with this after a few months, and all this time with me warning them with increasingly irritated tones, I finally snapped. One day, I took sticky notes and wrote "LOCK ME!" And stuck it to the front door lock. "CLOSE ME!" And stuck it to the front door. "TURN ME OFF!" And stuck it to the wall above the stove. They did NOT like that, because it and I admit to it, was extremely petty. They removed the signs and looked embarrassed, but it lessened how often the door thing happened, and stopped the stove thing entirely. Sadly, it had lasting effects for me. I'm OCD, fully diagnosed, now I have to check the locks and the stove 15-20 times before I can lay down at night for sleep, and sometimes I'll wake in the night to check then, too. My point was, I can get petty, too, lol.

[@hiddentidesgaming]

Even without OCD, these are EXTREMELY Dangerous. You were not petty at all, you could have had home invaders or your home burning down, plus the spike in electrical bill. You had every right to be upset.

[@AoyagiKiyoka]

My brother has left our gas stove on several times before and my dogs have actually woke me up in the middle of the night to warn me about it.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

I had a roommate who left all the doors wide open, and it was in Boston, not a safe place! Pretty sure she hoped I'd get murdered

[@ladypseudo6096]

Is it bad that it's comforting to know I'm not the only one to have this kinda thing happen?

[@sheelfjohnson]

I don't blame you! My husband left the door unlocked a couple of times when I was asleep upstairs, and the worst part was that he didn't seem to think it was a very big deal 🤬. But he never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever cooks, so I don't have to worry about the stove thing 😂

But was she just cherry picking situations to try and make her self feel better? Were they worried about her being in a relationship that was toxic is he doing something to warrent that. All three friends felt he wasn’t good enough.

[@jeald0003]

Yeah the context feels a little cherry picked. I don't think she's the a-hole but if her friends actually meant well (and she felt attacked) that probably didn't help, and now she no longer has the support of her friends. I don't think this is a AITAH? situation.

[@kleineoOoStern]

I don't understand why some people stay with people who are so selfish. For me when you love really and deeply someone you want to fulfill their needs as best as you can or at least pay attention to the needs of your significant other so if someone is acting so selfishly it's because this person doesn't really feel love for their partner. My husband is also a big eater and love to eat but when he buys something to eat for me and I want to share it with him I'm force to repeat my will to share a few times before he accepts to eat the thing with me because he feels bad to take some of my present/thing. The girl/woman of the post should dump him straight, if he doesn't even respect the meaning of a present and doesn't even think to help when she works a lot he doesn't deserve her AT ALL !

On the ring one: My partner of six years and I just got engaged in March. I love my ring and I love it even more knowing it’s not a diamond. I opted for a man made diamond alternative called moissanite, for one it’s as strong as a diamond, two it’s more reflective and sparkly than diamonds, and three I know it wasn’t mined or sourced in an unethical way. If my friends criticized me for my choice, or said those things about my fiancé, I’d definitely uninvite them from the wedding.

In the USA, there are some jobs that do not offer maternity leave at all. You are suppose to have the baby and the very next day you have to go back to work. If you do not, then you get fired.

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

This is ridiculous

[@birdgirl2623]

@@NerdEJackieVlogs In the United States, there is something called "Family and Medical Leave" or "FMLA", where you can take UNPAID leave for up to 6 weeks. Usually you need to use up any vacation or sick leave you might have, first. The employer is supposed to keep your position open during this time, but there isn't any reason for them to fire you afterward. There is also a big stack of forms to fill out (and some of these pages need to be filled out by the doctor---like they have time). In some states, there is a thing called "right-to-work" which means that the employer doesn't even need a reason to fire someone. But overall, Phoenix is right.

[@laurena4186]

@@birdgirl2623 Only FMLA doesn’t cover everyone. If you haven’t been at your job gor over a year, or if you’ve needed to take FMLA for other reasons or earlier in your pregnancy, you can’t necessarily use it. I’m chronically ill and have already been written up for abcenses related to my health twixe and told 3rd time is termination. I’m 26 weeks pregnant. I have a heart condition and passed out at the hospital I work at a few weeks ago. I took half the day the next day and that was also counted against me. If I end up needing leave, I won’t have that time after my baby is born. I also have short term disability but, again, if I use that to get paid I won’t have any paid time off after my baby is born because I can’t actually build up PTO because of my health.

My brother lived in Denmark for a while. One of the traditions there is that no one ever eats the last piece of something at a dinner party or at the dinner table. If it's a large gathering no one will eat the last piece- it will be cut into smaller and smaller pieces until the hostess/host removes the plate and they can then eat the last piece out of sight of everyone. With the ring thing... my husband and I married nearly 20 years ago with no money and very little support from family. Our wedding rings were £15 each. I lost mine years ago and never replaced it. It's just a ring. It's material and not important. We were married when we were in our teens and 4 boys later and a lot of life lessons later I can tell you a ring means nothing much.

She has a guy who follows her wishes...he's a keeper! The ring is not the important thing, the marriage is. I got married at the courthouse and we had a bonfire in my brother in law's back yard as a reception. We ended up with a TON of leftover food though because we had 150 say they would be there and only about 30 showed up. Story 3: That guy sounds like my ex...he had no problem leaving a mess for someone else to clean up...until someone's mess was an inconvenience for him...he didn't seem too happy to be told "Oh, I was just following your example and leaving it for someone else to clean up!" Story 4: First thoughts is the OP is vegetarian/vegan and the broth is meat based....however after hearing the story...he's the AH. IMO it's like a kick in the teeth to bring your own food to a restaurant. Story 4: I've read this one...I had a similar issue being a single Mom...I hardly saw my son because when he was at school I was asleep and after school I was at work. I had people tell me I was not a 'true' single mother due to the small amount of time I could spend with my son...but on my days off it was all about him. Last one....based on title...Mom is the AH.

I agree w/ y’all 💯 %! My husband and I met when we were in training in the US Army so neither of us had a lot of money. Our wedding had to be moved up, so the whole thing was thrown together in 18 hrs. We bought our rings prior in a wholesale catalog for $200 for my bridal set and his ring combined. Other than that, we only spent approx $200 for the rest of the wedding to include flowers which I bought at Walmart. I made all the bouquets, crassage, and boutonnieres. We had less than 10 people at our church wedding nearly 20 years ago. For our 10th anniversary we had a vow renewal where my husband promised me the wedding of my dreams so we saved for several years for this. He also wanted to get me a nicer ring, now that he had saved for it. Unfortunately, 2 months before the vow renewal, my dad died, so all the money we had saved now went to his funeral. But my husband and my relationship is strongly rooted in our faith, and our church family stepped up to help. They provided the whole reception. Food, dancing, and all. It was small. Less than 100 people, but it was full of love.

[@aquamarinefox8207]

It's sweet when kids do that, it just means that you're seen as someone important in their life even if it's only temporary. Even my high school students still call me that from time to time. I get it every year. I don't mock them like their friends do, I let them know it happens and that I'm like the art mom for them lol The healthy relationship part is me and my husband. We love a lot of the same things but also our own things. We both need our own time too. It's something I tell my students as they are obsessed with dating. I tell them learn who you are first then worry about dating next. You need to grow as a person first separately because you need to be you and accepted as you from whoever you end up with.

He would not allow her to go spend time with her friends or make a big deal about it all and try to guilt trip her into calling off hangouts by threatening to commit suicide. It got to the point where he would try and come up with lies about me and our other friends were saying behind her back and try to claim they were on a break and go flirt with other girls and try to even get with me because my sisterfriend had finished school a year earlier than the rest of us. So I contacted my friend to sort things out and she had dumped the guy like a rock that day.

Hey Jackie and Sika! How's everything going? Lots of love from a grain of salt who greatly appreciates your existence. Stay awesome as always❤️

[@michelleirwin5484]

I had a court house wedding as well Sika, and we did a big celebration on our 10 yr anniversary,since we did not have a big wedding or reception. Wouldn't change any of it ,if I had to do it all over.

the ring one really irked me, my ring was little sapphires and diamonds in a row because I didnt want a massive diamond that would get caught on things plus i dont hold with the tradition of the ring costing a months wages! getting wed in October after canceling it from halloween last year because of covid :/

[@lazyhomebody1356]

It's actually 2 months wages! Such a scam

[@annied1827]

Im with you one that it annoyed me too I'm not married and I've not really ever been interested in getting married and think uts a total waste of money to spend all that money on one day just to get a piece of paper and I feel you don't need to be married to proove you live each other but that's just me, however I've been in a relationship for over 24 years and we did get engaged he has bough me 4 rings over the years, my engagement ring was £130 I saw it he offered to buy it for me I told him it's a engagement ring he said guess we're getting engaged then and that was that 🤣🤣 he has also bought me three other rings one that is set with Whitby jet I'd always wanted a Whitby jet ring and he bought me one that I saw and fell in love with while visiting the town that cost £21, I've had two eternity rings from him my first one was £30 and when that one finally died a death it had been repaired so many times I spent far mire getting it repaired than it was worth lol I was heartbroken when they said it could no longer be fixed and knowing how upset I was my partner told me to to find another and he would buy me it after several months I finally found one I liked in our local jewellery shop it was second hand and cost £60 so I have had 4 rings bought for me from my partner and all of them cost him less than what most people spend on one ring. I chose rings I loved I didn't care about the price and as I said knew was even second hand as I just couldn't find one I liked until the man in the store asked what I was looking for and he said ok I know where to get one exactly like you want but it isn't new it will be second hand will that hither you especially since its a eternity ring I laughed and told him I don't care aslong as I love it who cares if it's new or just new to me 😃 I'd have been so very angry if anyone said anything against the rings he's bought me over the years and I'd have been very angry if he spent a lot of money on buying me a ring for me and he knows this I was actually debating if my engagement ring was too much at £130 as I felt it was a lit of money just for a ring but he insisted that he got it for me and I didn't get it then he would just buy it later so I agreed lol and I love it as its so pretty and very simple 😃 Congratulations on your wedding I hope you have many happy years together and I hope you had a wonderful day 💗

In the U.S. we don't actually HAVE established guaranted maternity leave, aside from FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE, which only assures they hold your job, employers or government don't have to pay any salary, its solely up to the individual employer. Some women have to go back after only a week or so

[@madi18000]

I'm single but I've always believed that the ring its about the love you have for that person. Doesn't matter the size or price or even if there's not a ring it's your love together

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Yeah, I mean, the ring is just to signal to others that you are taken

[@madi18000]

@IntercityLisko same. I don’t work with machines but I’m even cool with the silicone bands I think those are cool because they are easily cut

[@abigailphoenixthepaperaddi2501]

Restaurant one: I won't give an a-hole here, as in, I'm being neutral. I see both sides, and as Jackie said, he's young, still learning. I just want to add that while I've yet to experience the delight that is hotpot, I can understand broth being 16$. Made from scratch broth is NOT cheap to begin with - ingredients, time, ENERGY. Then, the extra $ they are charging on the broth itself offsets the (likely) less profitable other items you add in. Thus, the broth is literally the part of the meal that pays the chef, waiter, busboy, cleaner, etc. The add-ons, such as dumplings, meat, etc, are the profit that helps the owner in many ways (beyond lining pockets), such as: adding waitstaff, longer opening hours, better ingredients, etc. This is why, even living well below the poverty line (and I research prices/ratings before going new places), I will NOT argue with or try to circumvent the prices anywhere. (I also factor in the tip in my calculations). I tend to prefer places that are local to wherever I am, but would not be over 30$ per person to eat, so my thought process behind prices in restaurants may be a bit skewed. I figure its worth it to enjoy a night out, a meal made for me, and mostly, not having to clean up after. And, usually, we have leftovers to bring home for later! (For hubs, its more like a snack up to a meal leftover, for me its like having 1 or 2 more meals lol). As for the woman here, she ghosted him. Not cool. At the least, try to explain to the young man why this is such a deal-breaker. How it impacts the restaurant, and THEN how it made her feel. As for him.... sweety, no. Just... no. And hun, one date does NOT make her your girlfriend.

[@browneyedguitargirl]

I’m so glad other couples have the same food conversation/argument! My husband and I had to sort this one out early in our marriage. Sometimes, we just buy two packages of something, and if mine goes stale, it’s not his problem (or his to eat).

[@carola7893]

OMG!!!! Yyyaaaaasssss (as dollitful says). More of this please!!!! I think you both would be awesome at doing Reddit reading!!!

[@bianxa444]

I love these podcasts!! The longer the better :)

[@nariu7times328]

referring back to last week, you two are fantastic at some amazing ADULT things. Interest rates are not as important as your understanding things you discuss here. Very proud of you!! (I am 52 and have kids your age so I can say it that way!)

[@TheeFlyingfox]

I love how you are both so passionate about the topics you chose (I think I was with you 100% on every one of them). That said, I did feel I wanted to sound out my feelings on one in particular - Wedding rings. My fiancee is 10 years my junior, but we have so much in common (heck, we actually met and bonded online! No, not a dating app or anything like that - it was an MSN Groups page (remember those??) that was a role play group about pirates). When we decided on a ring we went to a jeweler that we both loved the work of from a Renaissance Fair who uses all reclaimed materials (so, no blood diamonds like many high-end retail stores), this made it unique as far as engagement rings went, the stone isn't perfect, nor large, but the symbolism of the design has meaning for us and that is what makes it so special to us...plus it didn't cost an arm, a leg and several fingers to buy, and we know the guy who made it, personally. Which gives it just that little bit more meaning for us. That said, I do have to admit I am absolutely one of those people who loves jewelry - to the point I actually had a pin made that states (and not to try to poke fun of a real medical condition) "I suffer from Attention Deficit - Oh, Shiny!", and it is 100% true...though for me it could just as easily state about sharp, pointy thing (daggers, swords, all those lovely things - I KNOW Jackie can relate to that one! *+grin+*) , anything to do with dragons, unicorns or any other fantastic creature, bats, model horses....honestly, the list goes on and on. I think the 'friends' there were absolutely the a-holes and being uninvited to a wedding is the least of what should be done - cutting them out of their lives would be a blessing. No one needs that kind of toxic BS in their lives anyway. Okay, okay, sorry, I got a little (a lot) carried away there, but, like you, there are things that just are triggers and have to be sounded out. So, with that I'll get my batty butt off the fruit crate and quit while I'm ahead. Love you both. Happy Mother's Day to everyone and I hope you don't mind this novella of a comment. ^^v^^

[@nicolesenior2195]

Omg I love these podcasts, they're so funny nd great to listen to while crafting! You two make my day ☺️; Love you guys! From New Zealand xo 😘😘

[@luluciferia1948]

YES!!! never been this early before. Love hearing y'all talk about stuff.

[@lounakin]

The broth guy doesn't specify the prices, because I assume the broth is 8 dollars WITH all the trimmings... 8 dollars for a meal is not expensive. Yes he's cheap, and I would have been mortified but at the same time, that's quite a hilarious take on BYOB and I would have enjoyed that!

[@Seoulsearch616]

I absolutely love how down to earth 🌎 you both are. I think you both would make amazing real life friends, and that's why I keep listening. 💖

[@miscellaneousmoon327]

I remember watching an episode of Judge Judy years ago and there was a divorced couple being petty about things related to the children and Judge Judy said, "It is sad when the parents hate each other more than they love their children." I know it can't be easy when you get a divorce and have children but people need to put their children first.

[@Steffi.EchoGraphix]

Here in the US they've taken the "push ring" to the extreme with lavish push gifts like cars and gaudy jewelry.

[@NerdEJackieVlogs]

Holy carp, that’s way too intense

[@ElicBehexan]

Oh... weddings! My brother's first marriage was a big church do, but that was his ex's families' idea. Our side was about 10 to 15 people - max, nearly half was family. Some of the bride's guests were upset that they had to sit on the 'groom's' side of the church until it was pointed out that the bride's side was full. His daughter's wedding in 2014 was both family from both sides of her parents and his mother and sibs, nobody on his father's side. His family came in from Florida, most of her bridesmaids came in from Colorado along with her mother and her mother's best friend and the rest were either her mother's family from Houston or local friends. Our sister and her partner flew in from Tennessee. A year later, after asking his girlfriend 3 times to marry him, she accepted. They got married about 2 months later. This was just a small service and then the following May - he's a CPA so he has the most money after tax season - they had a bigger celebration - kind of the reception. My sister and her partner came for that, but since I live in town, I was at both. I had specifically asked his girlfriend to let me know if they did because I wanted to be there. After my sister and her partner went home, the partner went up to visit family in New England and asked if they minded if she asked my sister to marry her. Their response: "It's about time!" I flew up to the wedding. Our brother had already made arrangements for something else that weekend and didn't make it, but his daughter did. I was flying out of Texas on Friday to go to her wedding and the day before my roommate had a bad dream. Rather than go through the complicated will process, I said it would be cheaper to just marry her. When I got to Tennessee I told my sister's soon to be wife who thought it was a great idea. My sister wasn't bothered by it, but didn't think we really had anything to worry about - I honestly didn't either, but you know nightmares. So, 8 days after her marriage, my now wife and I got married. As it turns out, it really is more about cutting her family out of her life than saving her from mine. My family likes her, her family emotionally abused her. We had about 10 people there, got married at a friend's house and went to a restaurant afterward - everyone paid for themselves... I don't wear a wedding ring because I'm always washing my hands for medical reasons.

[@craftymee]

Yay another one! You guys have made my Sundays better 😊

[@silverdragondawn1683]

I love you ladies. You made my day. Happy Mother's day to all.

Love the banter! I don't know how I never noticed before this video but the color of Sika's eyes! They're the most beautiful shade of grey! Are they natural or does she wear contacts? Total eye envy here.. ❤

[@angelsbear37]

After hearing all the stories, I agree with both of you on all of them.

[@kaylab9779]

I absolutely loved listening to this U should definitely do more
