Wedding story - It blows my mind how obsessed some people are with alcohol. Go to the wedding to celebrate your friends, not for a free drink, or to get wasted and potentially ruin the party. It's sad how some people can't have fun without getting drunk. Also, I feel like our culture has it backwards. Weddings should be assumed to be dry and it would be respectful to notify your guests if that is not the case. Makes no sense to warn people there won't be drugs. Warn them if there will be, so they can make an informed decision to come if they struggle with alcoholism or don't want to deal with drunk people.

Agree with this. I don't care one way or the other if there's alcohol honestly because I'm not much of a drinker. I can seriously take it or leave it. And I find people who feel like they have to have it to have fun to be really, really boring honestly. The fact that there are people who can't just suck it up for a few hours and then fuel their alcoholism in the comfort of their own homes later truly astounds me. It is unfortunately a norm in the USA to include on the invitation if it's a dry wedding, but by no means is it a reason to get angry at someone if they don't. Because like...if I'm getting married, I'm going to hope my frienda and family are there for me, not free booze.

The girl who was learning Japanese's ex husband was literally abusing her and it makes me so sad that she still feels the need to defend him and say he's a "good person." He's not. He moved her away from her family and support system, controlled what she wore and what she spent her time on, and put her down constantly. There's obviously even worse things that he did that we just don't know about. Please, if any of that story feels at all familiar to you in the relationship you're in, get out. Make a plan, tell your loved ones about how they treat you, and leave them. How happy and confident she is now is a testament to how worth it it is to leave a person like that.

1st story: The fact both girls tried switching the narrative and play the victim with the « You invaded her privacy » and « You hurt yourself by looking at the messages » really speaks volume to me. Like a toxic ex that you find out is cheating and they blame you for looking through their phones.. LEAVE!

As a parent, I'm not forcing a bond with my child and ANYONE. My eldest didn't like my mom for the longest time. If I face-timed her, he would hang up on her. If she tried to talk to him he would scream. Guess what, now that he's four he loves my mom. When we go to visit he runs to her and gives her big hugs. It sucks that grandma and dad have hurt feelings but it doesn't matter, your job should be to foster HEALTHY relationships with other people. Just like now with my kids being older, they don't have to hug or kiss anyone they don't want to.

This is why only the mom is able to calm the baby when it gets upset. Continuing to upset the baby to try and make dad and grandma feel better is NOT good for that baby. Also, babies don't need to bond with anyone but mom and dad at that age. They don't understand that social circle yet. It will happen as the baby gets older in its own way.

And it's fair that they're angry they "wasted" the Uber and hotel room on a dry event. This makes it double their responsibility to confirm they will be drinking at the event. Assuming anything beyond legal and wasting money is on you, not the other party. It takes 2 minutes tops to confirm what you assumed in the first place.

A least charitable perspective of OP's actions in Story 2 is that they went out of their way to make sure the coworker was excluded from OP's birthday celebration: 1. They declined coworker baking a cake when they coworker usually does. 2. They intentionally scheduled the celebration at the specific time coworker was busy that day. 3. They did not save coworker a slice of cake. I don't believe OP was necessarily this malicious, but their actions could be construed as purposefully and methodically excluding the coworker.

To turn down a free cake and go through the effort to make your own- there's gotta be a reason for it. It'd be one thing if they said "oh I really love baking" and/or "I'm really particular about my cakes/ingredients" -- but they didn't. So that really says to me they did it to spite the coworker and didn't want to admit to it.

Currently listening and THE BAKING STORY omg! I bake for my coworkers birthdays and hand over the baked goods and say “hand them out to whoever you’d like” and EVERY SINGLE TIME they don’t give me any. My birthday is coming up July 1st and I KNOW that no one will be baking for me 😩

That is super sweet of you! Do you think they just assume you already took whatever slice/cookie/pastry you wanted? That is 100% what I would assume if someone showed up with baked goods that they made themself. I would assume, since you made it, you have some set aside or maybe back at home for you to enjoy yourself, or maybe you already ate your share and wanted to just give away the rest. Why not just make sure to grab as many as you want before telling everyone to take as many as they want? Also, you don't need to bake for anyone at all, and definitely shouldn't if you feel underappreciated for all the effort. Not everyone bakes or even cooks so I definitely wouldn't assume that anyone will return the favor, unfortunately. It's just not a guarantee with something like cooking. Maybe they could buy you a sweet treat, but not everyone is that thoughtful. If it's something you love doing and enjoy being generous with (I know I love to share what I cook with others too), then just make sure to set aside whatever you want to keep. I hope that someone surprises you with a birthday treat, regardless!

Remember people in mainstream jobs have sick days, annual leave etc where they truly are able to leave their workplace at work and recharge. I can appreciate that would be harder for you exisiting on social media. Not to mention- some of these stories are heavy I imagine being the one commentating on them would be fatiguing at times. I hope you’re able to take some extended time where you feel ‘ logged off’ and are able to relax.

The roommate story reminds me of a former roommate that bought all new times for our shared bathroom (like carpets and shower curtains, etc) not because we needed them, but because he felt like making it look nicer, and then got upset when we didn’t want to pay him back. No one asked you to redecorate and the bathroom was perfectly fine before that

Comment about baby story. Babies and children definitely can hold their breath while panicking or throwing tantrums. My fiancé was one of them. His mom would have to blow in his face to get him to breathe and as he got into older toddler ages, he still did it. Doctor even advised his mom to throw water on him if he does it because it will make him breathe since he would also hold his breath until he passed out. Morgan, I am also terrified of babies, especially considering my fiancé was that child. I feel the odds will be against me.☠️😂

No cake left post: This story reminds me of what happened to my mom. My mom works as a CNA at an assisted living facility, management sucks when it comes to being considerate of their workers as in they don't provide coffee or water bottles. My mom took it upon herself to bring her personal coffee maker, filtered water, coffee, sugar, and creamer for her shift and would pack them up at the end of her shift. Well someone stole her coffee maker, thankfully it wasn't expensive and my mom had bought it secondhand, but still. Since then there has been no coffee available for the CNAs since it hasn't been returned and my mom is still angry about it. My mom now takes with her a full vacuumed sealed cup for herself, and that's it.

The sad thing about this situation is it's clear people like that only really bonded through bullying someone together, so when their bully target goes away, they get grumpy because now they're bored not having someone to talk about. Those people are addicted to drama. I'm sure your life is better without fake friends like them!

Bro, the last one pisses me off. We knew our parents' financial issues as young as 12/13. They always kept it age-appropriate, but they didn't want us to feel less or resent them for things we couldn't have that our friends did. In return, we always understood that our parents were giving us as much they could and only surrounded ourselves with people who wouldn't make us feel lesser for having less than them. Your daughter is 28, tell her you just can't afford it.

I once cried in high school because I bought myself a pint of cookies and cream ice cream and I thought about it all day long… literally drooling in class thinking about it and when I came home my dad had eaten it. I’ll never get over it lmao

For the baby not standing MIL Story: My daughter couldn't look at my FIL for months, maybe from 5 months old to 1.1 years. She would cry everytime he approached her or even looked at her. He's super loving so we didn't understand but we think its because he's bald. It just made her nervous. She got over it a few weeks after 1.1 years. So I would advice OP and her family to try to wait it out, and not force it because it makes it worse.

Hi special needs teacher here! For the story with the baby who “hates” grandma the fact that mom is the only one who can regulate her is a potential red flag 10 months is young and a lot can change but that cannot continue or that could develop into anxiety and unhealthy attachment styles.

For the baby mother in law story: the baby is definitely the asshole. The mom in law did nothing to the baby to be treated that way. And the baby is taking the unwarranted hate out on their own parents! I don’t usually say this but I think the mom should break up with the baby. (I’m being sarcastic btw lol)

cake story- I would make a new cake for the lady that missed out and host a surprise party for her to give her the cake while the co-workers are there, make it seem like it's a meeting but it's actually a surprise cake party for her to show her that she really is appreciated and you lot dropped the ball this time but you're making amends now. you still suck but this is how you could make it up to her and say you're sorry.

as a scottish listener, title alone already has me hooked 😌

The cake story is a perfect example how a caring person gets taken advantage of or just ignored. My heart hurts for that lady.

As if it’s not bad enough to send your friend a Venmo request for all the decisions YOU made for the night as if your presence should be paid for; then you make it clear that you don’t give a single f*ck about your friend and only care about booze. While it’s great to get a night out with your spouse, especially when you have kids, someone else’s event is not meant to be your dream date night. It’s a night of rolling with the punches for the sake of the love for your friend. You don’t get to make assumptions etc about how you feel the night should go to “make you happy”. I agree with Lauren that it would’ve been a nice thing to add to the invite the same way you’d add “child free” but the idea this op would’ve declined after seeing that is soooo pathetic. Obviously they’re not true friends. Anyone important enough to come to your wedding should be stoked to partake in that special moment with or without alcohol, their kids, etc.

Wow they don't care about their friend they just wanted a party. You can't have one event without alcohol really?!?!

Morgan, I need you to read this: I cannot imagine how difficult it is to be a normal person quickly thrust into the public eye and media space. Hearing how hard it has been for you to keep it pushing through the negativity really broke my heart. Once I found your podcast, I instantly began binging. Over the last few months, you guys have become a comfort show for me. I love hanging out with my sweet group of pals from Minnesota. You truly don’t deserve any sort of hate. The thing is Morgan, people project. As someone who has experienced a multitude of childhood traumas, I have been in regular therapy for years; and as someone who has an insatiably curious mind, I have also been studying human behavior and psychology in my own time. I’m hyper vigilant and I pay close attention to new people is the point I’m getting at here. After just a few episodes, I knew you, Lauren, Ale, and Justin were safe people. Sure, you get lost in your passion at times, but it’s because you’re all deeply feeling individuals. You quickly come back down to earth it and welcome balance into your takes. All of you. You guys give as much kindness as you can from the perspectives that you have, and when you are exposed to different perspectives, you try to open up your perspective to include those. People will always find a reason to be upset if they want to be upset. And if they are confronted with something they don’t like about themselves, they will project it onto others to share the pain. I don’t always agree with you guys, but I’m positive you’re are coming from a genuine and loving place in most cases. If you haven’t pursued individual therapy, I think it would be a good idea, regardless of how you move forward with the podcast. You’re a badass, Morgan! Intelligent, empathetic, headstrong, and incredibly hard working. I love having you guys around on here, and it hope to come say hi at a live show someday!

The story with the crying baby and the mother in law. The baby may have reacted organically the first time. After that it may have been sensing its mom’s tension when the mother anticipated the baby to cry. Babies can sense that. As well as the grandma also feeling tense in fear the baby will react.

Concerning the story about the mother-in-law and the baby, I always think to Justin says that we only hear one side of the story. There’s always going to be a unreliable narrator because it’s always gonna be from one person’s point of view. When I hear her say she’s the only one that can calm down the baby, that does remind me of some phrasing I’ve heard before with people who go through postpartum depression.

Story 2: this is exactly the type of thing that would make me go home and cry. It's one thing to be excluded, but it always stings more to not even be thought of.

My baby's crying caused me physical pain, felt like burning needles going up my spine.

I think ETA. It was beyond rude to Venmo your friend for all those expenses. It’s also rude to say that you wouldn’t even go to the wedding because it’s dry. That just means that your ability to have fun is more important than supporting your friend. They can have their wedding however they want. HOWEVER, the norm is having alcohol at weddings. If there is no other indication that it would be dry (I.e. they don’t drink, they are a known recovering alcoholic, religion, etc.), the polite thing to do is to inform your guests so they can plan accordingly.(get drinks before, leave a little early to get drinks after, no spend the money for all those expenses in preparation for being drunk, etc.) It’s not that they CAN’T have fun without alcohol, but drinking for some does add to the fun and can be relaxing if not over done. Especially when you have kids, going out and letting loose is rare and some look forward to that. So, informing your guests of the dry wedding is the considerate thing to do. That’s just my opinion though.

Idk, to be honest, I think putting that it's a dry wedding sometimes backfires because people intentionally try to sneak alcohol in or bring their own, or show up drunk. Or, if there is a relative who has an alcohol problem, whether recovering or not, they might feel uncomfortable or embarrassed to see it announced that the wedding is dry probably because of them.

I never expect presensts, but a card would be nice.

"Oh dear, could you put this thingamabob in the whoseewhatzee?" Never freaking change.

This is my third comment 😂 but my son hated my grandpa at first! When we moved back to my hometown to be closer to my family, every single time my grandpa came over, my son would scream bloody murder and wriggle away but he got over it in like 6 months. now and for the last ~2 years they’ve been bffs. He LOVES him now. I think the fact that my grandpa presents as a different race than me maybe freaked him out, but now that he’s met my whole family (who all present much darker than I do) he’s very comfortable now. I have to believe that’s what did it because my grandpa is literally so gentle and kind, couldn’t say enough good things about him!

Absolutely love Lauren and I hope she knows how much we adore seeing her and hearing her takes! ❤❤

Dry Wedding Story: At least in my experience, alcohol is not a default thing at weddings. I go to at least one wedding every year (usually 2 or 3 though) and most are dry. I actually am surprised when there’s alcohol at a wedding (Not mad, I don’t care either way. Your wedding, your choice.) Part of it is that I know a lot more conservative people, so that’s probably why. All that to say, I think this is a cultural thing. If it’s the norm in your area/social circle that the wedding includes alcohol, maybe include in the invitation if the wedding is dry. Same thing if you have a nonalcoholic community and the wedding has alcohol. I think that’s a nice thing to do, but definitely not an obligation though. OP is definitely the AH here.

The dry wedding story- if no alcohol being there, is that big of a deal to you that you LEAVE and want compensation- then you’re the shittiest friend alive & didn’t deserve an invitation. It’s disgusting how alcohol is considered a “must” for social gatherings. The newly weds could be sober. Regardless, it’s their choice & you’re a shit person, along with the people that “walked out with you”.
