Most of us save it for shabbos. Let’s not spoil the suspense since we want to enjoy when we sit down with the magazine on shabbos.

People, its fake...the author is reading our imaginations and rotfl..
OP, I think people similar to Leah do exist, but they are painting her extreme. Telling your friend she must take your kids when you go away, does not sound like something people would normally do.

I knew someone who would do that. Chances are the author also knows someone like that.

You know someone that says "my kids are coming to you. If you are a true friend you would take them"...
Yes, there are people that take advantage. But then there's this made up story that's exaggerated just to keep readers going.

I agree it isn’t exaggerated. It’s a pretty realistic story.

This story is made for me. I pretty much cut my friend out when I got married to make my husband happy, but I miss out on "girl friendship" which my husband can't fill... Sometimes I wish my husband could have looked away from her demands...

Why couldn’t you have put your foot down on the demands and still keep the friendship?

she had more smarts, knowledge and know how. she also had tons of sisters, cousins and aquaintences. So lets say to spend time with her I would treat her out. Or I would always drive all the way to her instead of meeting halfway... Just small examples of the larger picture that drove hubby crazy

When I cut my “Leah” out of my life, she never even turned back or tried to contact me again. She just moved on to her next culprit and completely forgot about me. I had scarified so much for her, emotionally, physically, financially… you would think she would put up a fight when I left . She just moved on to the next…
There’s no middle ground with “leahs”. It’s either ‘her way’ or the highway. After many, many years of doing things her way, I chose the highway.
It’s really not possible to have a person like leah in your life if you want to have a decent marriage.

Do you feel Rikki's DH is 100% right for not coming for Shabbat? In my heart I feel bad for Rikki cause she is afraid to leave, afraid to say no. But I just want to squash Leah. Is she cruel, or just really bad Middot.

I feel so bad for Rikki she’s way in over her head and now alone for shabbos. But I understand her husband but not so ok . But Leah won’t even feel bad if she hears Yittzy didn’t show she wold just say bad things about him . She keeps telling Rikki to stand up for herself but at the same time she puts her down . And Leah won’t even care if shabbos was hard and would never help Rikki with her kids .
