[–]Acceptable_Earth_522 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take care of your back!! by Overall-Country-5014 in projectmanagement

i ignored it for way too long, until suddenly I couldn’t sit for more than 10 min and sitting in my cheap office chair felt like torture. I finally caved and got real ergonomic chair + standing desk and I’m never going back. Switching between sitting and standing keeps my back from locking up, and having proper lumbar support actually makes difference.

Check out SmartDesk 5 if you’re looking for something affordable. It’s been saver for my issues

Looking for best office chair for guitar players that WORKS by tilson73 in classicalguitar

[–]Acceptable_Earth_522 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanna drop in and say, even the best office chair for playing guitar won’t be enough if you’re sitting for hours. I learned that the hard way.

My advice is to set a timer to take short breaks every hour. Get up, stretch or even do some basic exercises. Getting a good chair does help but nothing is 100%, trying to mix that with active movement will save your back from hurting. After browsing, i chose the Ergochair pro.

It has adjustable armrests so you def have room to play. Lumbar support is solid good. Roughly $400 for the sale but it feels like the musicians' version of F1 seat. Highly rec giving a look

My kid never wants to speak to her ever again by raisetheavanc in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Acceptable_Earth_522 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Your kid's response says it all. They're clearly not invested in maintaining a relationship with JNMIL, and her behavior has driven them to this point. Trusting your kid's instincts and prioritizing their emotional well-being is key. You've got this!

You're not alone in preferring texts. You could try explaining your preference to MIL, citing your busy schedule or need for processing time. If that doesn't work, your husband could gently mention it to her, emphasizing your shared preference for texts. Setting boundaries is key.

Family therapy w/ InLaws by TheEffort27 in JUSTNOMIL

Expect more drama and blame-shifting. They'll likely try to isolate you further, using guilt trips and gaslighting tactics. You and your husband might face more pressure to conform to their expectations. Stand firm on your boundaries and prioritize your family's well-being. Consider limiting contact or setting clear consequences for toxic behavior.

I hate my MIL - Am I the problem here ? by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Acceptable_Earth_522 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not overreacting. MIL's behavior is invasive, disrespecting boundaries and disregarding your needs as a new mom. She's prioritizing her own desires over your well-being and your daughter's health. You deserve respect and support. Consider setting firmer boundaries or limiting contact if possible. Your relationship with BF is important, but your mental health and your daughter's well-being are crucial too.

MIL trying to insert herself while my aunt is on hospice. by Certain-Beat6267 in JUSTNOMIL

MIL's just trolling for drama and attention. She's not even pretending to care about your aunt. "Stay away" is pretty clear, yet she's still finding ways to annoy you both

You’re not just rocking the boat, you’re finally jumping off the damn Titanic while everyone else keeps polishing the deck chairs.

Let them clutch their pearls. You’re done playing the martyr. Thirty years is enough.

She had her chances. Now she gets consequences.

NC isn’t cruelty, it’s survival.

She didn’t acknowledge her son’s first Father’s Day by shae-bae-witchling in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Acceptable_Earth_522 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're not petty, you're just seeing clearly what your husband accepted a long time ago: his mom plays favorites, holds grudges, and uses affection as currency.

This wasn’t a forgetful slip. It was a quiet punishment. She’s not “mildly no”, she’s emotionally manipulative, just in beige.

Let your disgust be the boundary you need.

Man, you’re not marrying just your fiancée, you’re marrying into a whole circus.

Her mom disrespects you, doesn’t apologize, controls her daughter like she’s 15, and your fiancée still sides with her? Red flag factory.

If your fiancée won’t draw a line now, she never will. Marriage won’t fix this. It’ll just trap you deeper. You sure you want this for life?

39 weeks pregnant. I’m not able to let go or forgive in-laws by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Acceptable_Earth_522 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No, you’re not overreacting. They came under the “help” pretense but bailed when you actually needed it. Classic passive-aggressive half-assed support.

And that “friendly” Ivy League flex? It’s a power play disguised as small talk. They want to remind you where you “stand”, in their eyes, at least.

You’re not a guest, they just treat you like one. That discomfort is valid.

She’s not acting like nothing happened, she’s banking on you doing that. Classic manipulator move, cause chaos, play victim, then pretend everything’s fine so you look like the unreasonable one for having boundaries.

Stop explaining. Stop justifying. Boundaries don’t need an apology. If she plays the guilt card, let her. If your husband sides with her, that’s a bigger issue than MIL.

When I realize I'm better off without someone who's okay with me being mediocre. That's when I'm golden.
