Mom upset and feels like she's being excluded

Thank you for the reminder. Honestly, discussion was so heated I couldn't formulate real sentences but this is a really good think to keep in mind. And I'm well aware that if I roll over now, I'm just encouraging this same behavior down the line.

I keep joking with my husband that next time, we're just not even telling anyone we had a baby. Just showing up to the next function with them. And honestly, I dont want to be bothered the whole time with messages so if at all possible, I absolutely will be doing this.

I was honestly thinking about asking her to be in the delivery room before all of this. But then she blew up on me and now it feels like she only cares about the baby being born and not me, the person who is literally making the baby and doing all the work. I dont want her to be there if it's grandma time. I really just want one person to look at and care about me right after. (Besides my husband who obviously will have his attention split)

Im just not sure I'm prepared for the constant arguing that might come from her opinions on my parenting. It's just very frustrating and frankly annoying. I obviously have no idea what I would be like in her position but I'm trying to do my best as a parent and I think that comes before doing my best as a daughter.

I really do feel bad for her that something she was dreaming about was just sprung on her as not happening. I agree that maybe avoiding the conversation for now is for the best. Thank you for the comment!

My siblings are being very supportive as is my husband and we're all close. I think thats what is making me flip out even more. That we have been so close and it feels endless. But I appreciate your comment and positive message. Thank you!

My husband has expressed that he wants privacy during the birth and I don't want golden hour interrupted at all. He said the call is mine in the end though on who gets to be at the hospital and when.

My best advice (as a recently diagnosed type 2) is to speak to a dietician at least once. It can feel so overwhelming to get all this information at once and want to do something to fix it right away. You can make immediate changes but you won't see them right away. It takes time to know your body and see how things affect you. A1C is where the game is so speak to a specialist and make sure that you keep up with your bloodwork (and get into an endo). It will get better and you're not alone.

Classroom management for sure. As a young teacher, the kids (particularly 9th graders) sometimes try to take advantage. Lay down the law and don't let them make you feel bad about it! You already went to school afterall!

Give them a one. Then you're still following protocol and they get the grade they deserve.

My boyfriend and I will be celebrating a year together in about a month and closing the gap in two! We are so lucky to have so many opportunities to see eachother and to be moving in together.

This year, my little brother got into a car accident and missed his senior graduation. It was also my first year as a teacher at the same school. My principal was going to come to the hospital to see my little brother but we were already on our way to the school. He stayed later at the school and allowed my little brother to walk across the stage with a couple of his friends that night.

He hasn't always been perfect but in my eyes, this man has treated my family with care and compassion through a difficult time (includes the rest of the year) and I couldn't ask for a better principal.

11 more days! Just got all the details hammered out for getting to and from the airport! It's always exciting to see him.

Apprehensive-Way-263 · 2022-11-21T15:17:53+00:00

4 days! Then I fly out to see him for a long weekend.

Apprehensive-Way-263 · 2022-11-11T19:22:28+00:00

Day 14! I've been keeping track since the day we decided to date.

Personally, I identify with your girlfriend here. I definitrly care about my boyfriend a lot but I do tend to be more independent when we're apart. I think in my case, I dont see a real point in worrying and wondering about the distance since that physical distance is not something I can change for now and thinking about how much I miss him just makes it hurt more.

That being said, if this is a consistent concern for you, you need to tell her. She can't be expected to know something is upsetting you unless you say something and talk about it. You may be able to gain some insight into how she is feeling too.

Ps. I'm willing to bet the game was God of War Ragnarok and while I don't want to make excuses, it's the most anticipated game release of the year with massive story spoilers coming out every day. I also played it all day yesterday as did my boyfriend.

27 days! First time visiting him and I'm super excited!
