My brother's wife is pregnant and she was talking about being tired and having restless leg, and my sister (has a five month baby) joked that next time she was going to adopt because pregnancy sucks, and I said "yeah but it's not really the same because it's not *your* baby," and then my sister-in-law was like, "adopted children are their parent's children in every way."

I don't even know what I meant by that or why I said it, I don't really think that's true. But than afterwards my sister reminded me that my sister-in-law *is* adopted. So like I really shoved my whole foot in my mouth with that one.

Now I don't know if I should bring it up to apologize to her or just move on. She didn't seem upset or hurt and didn't act any differently before or after with me. Would bringing it up be weirder since the conversation moved on so quickly?

She's really nice and I feel even worse because she's pregnant, like I bullied a pregnant person and implied her parents liked her less than her siblings or something 😭

This is something that my parents have done since I was little and I hate it. My room is closest to the main part of the house so they always leave hair ties on the doorknob, and my siblings do it now too. A lot of us have long hair (even my brother and dad lol) so we always go through hair ties and lose them and even when they buy a brand new pack they just unload it onto the doorknob.

It's really annoying because 1) sometimes they have hairs on them and it's gross and embarrassing when I have people over and they think it's weird there's a whole pile of hair ties on my door and 2) when someone is grabbing it off the doorknob it jiggles my door and I can't tell if they are opening it or not. And sometimes it will wake me up.

I asked my Mom to not do it anymore and she said she would start putting them on the closet instead but everyone still puts them on my door. It's legitimately pissing me off at this point and when my brother did it earlier I opened my door and yelled at him and now my mom is mad at me, even though she said she'd make them stop. Even my dad is still doing it.
