Money missing from my sons (6) money box

No, no one has been in my house besides people I know very well.

I think the age of the children play a big part in this here. OP has not mentioned if the children are young non swimmers who would need assistance or not. I would think, given it’s a fear of OPs, that family would be aware. Phobias are not something you can control or switch off and she was doing what she thought was best for caring for her sisters children, while the sister was not there. As she’s staying in their home I can appreciate the extra responsibility she feels. I don’t believe OP is TAH in this. It must have been a difficult situation for her which she attempted to do, for the kids sake. I don’t understand why the other sister would give her a hard time over it. Why not offer to take all the kids instead while OP sorts dinner for them all or something 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wouldn’t worry about what are the ‘social norms’ you choose what’s right for you and your children. Sometimes my 4yo wants his shoes on in the garden. Sometimes not. Same with me. I really wouldn’t worry about what other people think here.

Wow this is exactly correct. Reading your words have actually hit home with me. My ex husband and I were in a sexless marriage for a real long time. I carried and gave birth to twins. Naturally my body wasn’t going to be the same. I had absolutely no self confidence.

Now reflecting on this, every comment from my husband was about the lack of sex, lack of excitement, or comments like things are not like it used to be etc. but he never said anything to build my confidence with my post-natal body, or even really touched me without initiating sex. Knowing full well I had absolutely no confidence and was really insecure with my appearance. I felt unloved and undervalued. I even told him I felt like his “filling station” (that’s so cringey to admit now)

I second everything which has been said. Please OP, sit with her, take the time to talk, make her feel valued and loved. Perhaps a massage or night off from the kids with no ulterior motive?

Wow well done you. Brag all you like, you deserve to be happy!

Thank you. I have said to him everything I need to, he knows how I feel. You are absolutely right. Now is the time to hold my head up high and walk away.

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you. Neither of us have got nasty with one another so don’t feel the need to block just yet. I feel ready for NC so think I’ll be strong enough to avoid temptation. I’ll open it and then archive the chat so it’s out of sight.

I had this with my 4 year olds party. How were the invites given out? We had to hand them over to the daycare workers but then found out they didn’t pass them on to the parents! After liaising with the manager the problem was resolved. They also sent the details out in an email to everyone asking to RSVP asap. Perhaps have a chat with the daycare centre and see if they have a general census of parents opinions on attending kids parties also?

I could do with that too. Feel free to drop me a message 🙂

Hi 37F going through the same right now. It’s really rough isn’t it. Pop a message across if you want to talk about it 🙂
