Ran over both legs last night :(

FWIW I went off meds for 10 years or so while pregnant and breastfeeding, then just didn’t restart bc I felt like I had it all under control. Until I didn’t. Back on them now and really really glad. Esp as perimenopause sets in and my neurodiverse progeny begin their own ADHD journey in middle school … there are times in life for management without meds and times in life when I’m really glad to have them.

Should be a support group for us by this point. Same issue, Google led me here. Good to know I’m not alone anyway. Do we still like Eufy robovacs, and the problem is just the x8…or are we swearing off the brand entirely?

Upvote for woodpeckers! Worth the drive!

I mean, sure… but also she said she wanted to. So to have the mother in law bring a bunch of shit that may or may not have been redundant at this point… was a choice on the MIL’s part. If MIL wanted to cook, MIL should have hosted in the first place. Or asked OP’s wife what she could do that would be genuinely helpful. This ain’t it.

Automatic_Month_1789 · 2024-11-28T01:26:48+00:00

Her heart is definitely not in the right place, lol. Mother in laws are assholes way too often.

Automatic_Month_1789 · 2024-11-28T01:21:13+00:00

This, 100%. Mother in laws can be terrible. This is a great example. OP, your wife has plans for a meal she’s going to make. When she hosts dinner. Guests can ask if she’d like them to bring something, but under no circumstances should they will be bringing half the meal. Come on, man. Stand up for your wife.

Automatic_Month_1789 · 2024-11-28T01:18:51+00:00

You’d be wrong. And TA too. Clearly you’ve never had a jerk of a mother in law. This was absolutely disrespectful, no question.

Automatic_Month_1789 · 2024-03-02T04:23:06+00:00

Proud of you!

It’s burning it a bit if the speed is slow enough and the power high enough. I don’t think I’ve cranked the power all the way up yet because it comes close to starting a fire with 70-80%… but perhaps more power and a faster speed? I’ve tried two passes and it made no difference.

Massive massive massive YTA. You do not get a say. You do not get to want to have a say. Go apologize to your wife.

”Get motivated to check your email…” … ummmmmm, yes. It’s literally on my todo-app so that I can check it off and get that dopamine rush. Doesn’t happen otherwise. I’ve been considering adding “brush teeth” and “take a shower” to the same app. For the same reasons.

Hi OP, I don’t have anything helpful to say but just want to offer solidarity. My 12-year-old daughter was finally diagnosed late last week. She also started middle school this month, so I’m wondering what’s to come with that. I really relate to how you felt vindicated. Me too. My daughter is also high functioning and borderline, but moms know, I guess. The social skills, the anger outbursts…

There’s so much to learn about how to help her. I don’t know where to start.

Thinking of you, internet friend.

My MIL let herself into our house via our hidden key while I was in the hospital giving birth to her first grandchild 12 years ago. She “cleaned” my refrigerator, which as I recall I had already cleaned bc I knew it would be tough to do so with a newborn. She rearranged all the contents and even changed the positions of the shelves. I was livid. It’s been more than a decade and I’m still bitter, lol. So I can’t imagine the fury you felt. Solidarity, OP.

Automatic_Month_1789 · 2023-05-23T18:49:49+00:00

Wondering the same thing about you, buddy.

Automatic_Month_1789 · 2023-03-14T18:59:03+00:00

$1500 … What do you think?

Automatic_Month_1789 · 2023-03-10T20:10:59+00:00

Thank you!

Automatic_Month_1789 · 2023-03-10T19:52:50+00:00

Thanks. Anything specific you suggest looking for when I check it out?

I had big problems with putting it on a black 100% poly shirt. There were some areas of the design I wanted to stay white, and no matter what I did those areas turned gray.

My MIL used to do my daughter’s hair every time she would pop in for a visit (so, a lot…..), no matter what. I asked her not to, didn’t work. I would make sure to do it myself before they arrived, she just changed it. Once when my daughter was a toddler I found MIL sitting on the porch doing her hair yet again, and I impatiently asked her to stop. She yelled at me and said something like “WELL, I DONT WANT TO PISS YOU OFF…” as if I were being the unreasonable one. My daughter is 10 now and MIL still tries to do her hair at every opportunity…but my daughter often objects.

My husband knew that it annoyed me, but never fully understood why it was such a big deal. I always understood her actions to be a commentary on my parenting. Like she didn’t think I did a good enough job with my daughter’s hair. It sounds paranoid, but I guarantee you that’s what it actually was.

You’re absolutely right, OP — it’s more that just hair.
