Story 3 - Absolutely NTA. They are expecting a lot of OP. A haunted house requires a lot of time, money, and effort. If the people in the neighborhood want a haunted house so badly, they can put up their own haunted house.
So I’m the Halloween house, and I’m moving this year. Right after Halloween. I hope that, after years of decorating, the family that moves in doesn’t feel pressured.
27:21 story 5: OP could have worded his statement better. He is correct. It is better to be cautious. He could've said, "I want to be safe, and this is a precaution! Let's go downstairs with the kids, and just to be safe, then you can sleep/nap. I'll take care of everything else!" There's no need to use harmful words. Yeah, the thunderstorm doesn't give a shit about your wife's sleep or being tired, but you should!
Yeah, he could have worded his statement better but in that situation, I’m sure being nice was the last thing on his mind since it seemed like the kids’ safety seemed to be the last thing on his wife’s mind. Sometimes you just have to tell people like it is.
Maybe it's the location but everyone I've lived with takes storms seriously. We hear a bad storm is coming, we fill our tanks and start buying nonperishables. Storm is projected to get worse, we start gathering supplies and leave them in our trunks (dog food, bottled water, canned goods). If it gets bumped up any further we plan where to go or what to do depending on the house (lowland house means plan to leave, higher house means prepare to not leave until it's over). We've dealt with tropical storms, floods, hurricanes. It's just instinct at this point and we tend to just get ready without talking about it until it's time to plan whether we stay or where we're going.
You only take cover when you're outside or if there is an actual tornado warning. Intelligent adults don't take cover in their homes and bother their children during a thunderstorm warning. It's lightning and wind and you're inside. Good lord
Story 3, F those ungrateful neighbors and their need to keep grieving what they don't have anymore of. Time is not going to stop for those idiots and the Smiths have moved on. You're right Dusty, they should've continued traditions themselves instead of harassing OP.
Okay.. story 7 got me heated. Not only would i throw hands with her but I would go no contact with her . My ass it was a tribute! She’s being so shitty and selfish. 😡🤬 To Ascon ♾️ you go!
Perspectives change when you have lived through severe weather, especially when others were not as lucky. As weather becomes ever more severe and unpredictable, I’m all for erring on the side of caution and safety. Teasing ppl for such caution, however covert, is not nice.
I lived in Oklahoma for 15 years and have gone through many tornadoes. In his own home his family is safe during a thunderstorm warning. The only precautions needed are to stay inside, off the phone, and away from windows. The only time needed to take cover is during a tornado warning. Ps I'm deathly afraid of storms and even I can think this logically
the sure hope the girl who wants to meet her bio dad just moved on. this is actually the typical response from bio parents. it's also the typical response from bio siblings. i used to do a LOT of adoption searches. i stopped because i just felt like i was destroying people rather than helping them. she's not going to get what she's looking for from any of that part of her genetics.
For Story #8, I get the distinct feeling that she's telling us about her feelings, but not her father. It sounds like he was trying to do something really nice for her and didn't realize that her making her own cake was a joy to her and not a chore. I think she needs to communicate with him to explain why this is something she wants and likes to do. She definitely shouldn't exclude him from future birthdays because of a misunderstanding! I also feel like something else might be going on with OP. I can understand why it would be frustrating, but I do think this is a major overreaction.
One word: BOUNDARIES! OP's dad refuses to listen after she told him no to him making a cake for her. He's showing that he will never respect her as a person.

The sister who named her daughter after her niece who passed is ASCON 1 for sure. I wish there was something serious than ASCON 1. How terrible. 😡

Dusty. T: Yes, I was a Desperate Housewives fan.
Me: ME TOO.
I watched it during the pandemic. So good. I still watch it on repeat sometimes.

Love your podcast!
Story 1: there is a few updates to this one and you’re not on the wrong track dusty!
I heard those updates and Josh is scum. Sarah is a psycho (thanks to Josh) and his behind the scenes antics caused all this shit show.
.......You go to the basement for severe thunderstorms?
I'm terrified of storms but even I know that's not how it works.
Right. Op was exaggerating in this story, it’s not adding up
Anyone else think Dusty and team needs a Cake Foul button? (Based off of story one)

The parents are top tier amazing! They didn't show favoritism and they told sister off for being a narcissistic bint.

I don't like the guest commentaries. I just skip over them.
