Mother's Day: Weaponized Grief, Bad In-Laws & the Mac and Cheese Heist

Mother's Day should be simple. It is not. This week on Bad Life, Good Advice: a husband refuses to celebrate Mother's Day because of a childhood tragedy — but somehow Father's Day is fine. A pregnant daughter-in-law gets left out of the holiday by her mother-in-law entirely. And a former Chick-fil-A employee allegedly stole $80,000 from his employer... in mac & cheese transactions. We did the math. It's a lot of mac & cheese. As always, real dilemmas, common sense, and two people who now really want Mac & Cheese.

Name Thief, Walking Dates & Who Started It

Some battles aren't worth fighting. Some absolutely are. The trick is knowing which is which. This week on Bad Life, Good Advice: a sister steals a baby name (we have thoughts). Three different men suggest walking dates — is that lazy or just… a walk? And a Time Magazine article lists eight signs you're the problem in every argument. We read it. We related to it. We feel personally attacked. As always, bad situations, common sense, and two people who like to win.

Intrusive Thoughts, Splitting Bills 50/50, and the Modern Marvels of Red Light Therapy

Life is full of battles; some are worth fighting and some are not. What do you compromise on? This week on Bad Life, Good Advice we are talking about what happens when adults share a roof ... and someone just can't take it anymore. First, a mom destroys her son's computer with a hammer (we have our own opinions on THAT). A girlfriend asked her higher-paid boyfriend to split the bills differently. (Jen's husband weighs in, and isn't very nice . . .) And Anya explains Red Light Therapy, so we can discuss . . .why would anyone do this? Is it even worth it? As always, it's a mix of questionable decisions, real-life applications and figuring things out as we go.

Anya Explains Catfishing to Jen (How does she know so much?)

She catfished him with her own friend's photos . . .and then brought that friend to the date. Somehow, that's not even the most unhinged part of this episode. We kick things off with a crazy catfishing story where a guy thinks he's meeting one girl, but when he shows up, she has no idea who he is. But her friend knows . . .Of course, this tale is somehow relatable to Anya's life experience. Sit back and we can all learn how to . . .well, either be a better person or a worse person. Your call, really. Then we get into some friendship drama: two friends take a trip to see a concert, but they don't invite their third friend. Was it the right thing to do? Were they just avoiding hard conversations and awkward guilt trips? From there we pivot into money, generosity, and financial responsibility. A caller to the Dave Ramsey show was sad she couldn't get tickets to see the Backstreet Boys . . .but Kevin Richardson wasn't going to let that happen! We swoon over Kevin, just a bit, then we ask: -Should you go to Vegas (or any vacation) while you're in debt? -When is it ok to spend on fun? -And at what point should you start being generous with your money? We wrap up by addressing a commenter's concern that we did not take the puppy story from last episode seriously enough. As always, it's a mix of questionable decisions, real-life applications and figuring things out as we go. Let's talk! Did any of these stories strike a chord? DM or comment to let us know.
