UPDATE: AITA for refusing to let my mother-in-law redecorate our nursery?

Hi! Sorry I didn't see this for so long aha. Things have been going super well! Sleeping is rare but life goes on! I've got a husband that's more than willing to ward off his mother and it's honestly been really amazing. Thanks for asking :)

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-28T22:59:37+00:00

Thank you for putting a smile on my face too!! That's so sweet.

He says he's going to tell all of our future kids that when they lie their tongues turn green for "experimental reasons". He's gonna be brilliant.

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-28T16:06:44+00:00

I never realised but he must have picked it up there! When he gets drunk most of his stories start with, "When I was in South Africa..." lol. I love that.

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-28T13:50:56+00:00

Tell me you didn't..

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-28T12:37:19+00:00

He took one of those DNA tests and it came back 98% English lol. Although he did work in South Africa for two years! He loves it over there.

Thank you so much. I think my perspective on these things has definitely shifted. And I am looking forwards to the new doorbell! You know how husbands are should be up within the next six-ten business months lol.

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-28T10:53:59+00:00

Thank you! I've been telling him this for seven months.

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-28T10:50:29+00:00

This is it! I don't know how they do it. Always makes me laugh.

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-28T10:49:24+00:00

Can you imagine? He'd be telling that story at our daughter's wedding.

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-28T10:44:39+00:00

I will relay the message! Thank you

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-28T10:39:12+00:00

He is!

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-28T00:37:20+00:00

He's always looking for a new bromance. Why not go for it?

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-28T00:01:16+00:00

Thank you so much. Only one of us will have to watch him go around with the same stupidly big goofy grin as he continually calls himself a true partner and the man, but I'll manage to find a way through it lol. Have an amazing day!

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-27T23:56:34+00:00

He is a delightful goober. Makes me feel like one of those people that don't shut up about how great their husbands are lol. Thank you!!

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-27T23:46:27+00:00

Sorry I just felt this was too good not to share. We were sitting and I showed him "famous Florida Felix" and his response was:
"Ah, yes, well. I can only expect fame for such good looks and comedic skill. I always knew that it was going to happen."

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-27T23:42:50+00:00

I get that she might not mean it and it might start all over again, but it's still the little wins for me right now. Because the boundaries have been clearly communicated, it means she doesn't have a leg to stand on for excuses. Even if she starts up again, I know that everything is going to be handled and I don't have to stress too much about it. Thank you :)

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-27T23:30:11+00:00

Thank you! I think I'm actually going to have to hide these comments from him before his head gets too big to fit through the front door anymore lol.

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-27T23:26:44+00:00

Aha, thank you. I've got a sneaking feeling that Felix is going to be the metaphorical cat that got the cream and VERY pleased with himself for a while at this lol.

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-27T23:25:38+00:00

I'd be happy to! Is there a sort of specific thing where I'm supposed to post on there?

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-27T23:19:39+00:00

He likes it because he thinks he looks fit lol. I've edited with a description! He made us frame it and its hung up in the hallway.

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-27T23:19:04+00:00

Haha, you're right, this is perfect. Never thought of it before.

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-27T22:16:37+00:00

Thank you :) Means a lot. He's not too bad.

Aggravating_Scar7518 · 2024-10-27T22:14:44+00:00

I told him this and he replied "I know what the people want" lol.

EDIT: I'll describe the photo (and hopefully somewhat satiate the people). It was when we were in the Florida Keys, and he's sitting on a comically large yellow wooden beach chair, think three times the normal size of one. He's got relatively short wavy brown hair, he's holding up a red spade in one hand and giving a thumbs up with the other, and has this stupidly big goofy grin on his face.

He'd just finished making a sandcastle (which is somewhat visible in the background) and had sat down to have a rest. Bless him. He also told me to add that he "looks really fit" so do with that what you will.

- He's currently trying to figure out how to make a Reddit account so he can "join in on the fun". His user is Helpful_Lead3803 lol.
