WIBTA for leaving my kids behind while I try to secure their future?
u/ClaytoBeauty
I am a young widow (F27) with two young children (M4, F2). My late husband wasn't very wealthy so I've been forced to move back in with my father. Fortunately, my father is the agent of a wealthy baronet (M54). He's in a little debt right now, but who isn't? The baronet's daughter, Ella (F29), has taken an interest in me and asked me to accompany the family to Bath. I think this is my golden opportunity to improve my life! The baronet doesn't have a male heir and what could be better than marrying a woman with proven fertility?
If I go, I have a chance to catch the father and secure my children's future, but I will have to leave my kids behind and people can be pretty judgmental about things like that... so WIBTA if I spent six months in Bath and left my kids with my father?

YWNBTA at all! Ignore these other comments about your duty as a mother, as a woman you need to try for the best you can get your hands on! This opportunity is far too good to pass up!
Go secure yourself a baronet!
u/ClaytoBeauty (OP) Thank you for saying this, I have told Ella that I'm going to accompany her!
Comment near the bottom:
u/RosingsRector
A quick consultation of The Baronetage reveals that this baronet is in fact Sir Walter Elliot of Kellynch Hall, born March 1, 1760. Ella must be his daughter Miss Elizabeth Elliot, born June 1, 1785. There are two more daughters in the family but as stated, no male heir. The property is entailed, something that I am very familiar with, so the requirement for a male heir is valid.
I will consult with my honoured patroness, Lady C, to see if anything should be done to warn Sir Walter about this scheme. It would be a shame to see such a man marry a woman of low rank and Lady C is very concerned about the preservation of distinctions of rank.
(WIBTA is for future situations, "Would I Be TA?" and YWNBTA "You Would Not Be TA")

To me, a lady is not frilly, flouncy, flippant, frivolous and fluff-brained, but she is gentle, she is gracious, she is godly and she is giving. You and I have the gift of femininity… the more womanly we are, the more manly men will be and the more God is glorified. Be women, be only women, be real women in obedience to God.
― Elizabeth Elliot

Esperar [em silêncio] é a coisa mais difícil de todas. [...] Mas nós devemos aprender a silenciar sobre aquelas coisas que sentimos mais profundamente, pelo menos até que tenhamos falado exaustivamente a respeito delas com Deus.

As condições para o discipulado começam com "morrer", e, se você der o primeiro passo, muito provavelmente descobrirá que foi, de fato, "chamado".

Following up on the question on your favorite Austen side character, what's your most detested side character?
Ah, this is easy, same novel even! Persuasion's Elizabeth Elliot.
She's mean, she's a terrible sister, and she doesn't even have the decency to be funny!
Like Mrs. Norris (Mansfield Park) is so awful, but I really get a good laugh when she abscondes with all the jelly after the ball, 'helps' with the green baize, and expertly mooches at Sotherton. But I never laugh at Elizabeth E.
(I'm excluding major antagonists, like Wickham or Willoughby, I don't think they really count as "side characters")

📽️ Persuasion (2022)
I liked this adaptation of Jane Austen’s book okay, but it was also kind of strange. I didn’t care for the way she talked to the camera. It was a unique take, but I didn’t care for it. I also didn’t like the way Anne was written in this version. It wasn’t the same character as Anne from the book. I would call this a loose adaptation. They kept the main plot points, even some detailed ones, but the spirit of the book wasn’t there. I think they tried to modernize it somewhat, but this movie definitely feels Netflix, if that makes sense. I would say, if you want a love story, this movie is good. But if you want a good Jane Austen adaptation, you’ll have to love elsewhere.
Sex/nudity: 2/10 (some innuendoes, kissing)
Language: 1/10 (a couple uses of God’s name)
Violence: 1/10 (some injuries, no actual violence)
Overall rating: 5/10 (good romcom, bad Jane Austen adaptation)

"As maiores dádivas da minha vida (casamento e maternidade) acarretaram os maiores sofrimentos (...) As dádivas de amor também têm sido dádivas de sofrimento. Essas duas coisas - amor e sofrimento - são inseparáveis."

Persuasion (1995) but it's just Sir Walter Elliot being obnoxious
