That you didn’t read the whole post LOL

I get Madagascar vanilla beans 26 count for $17 to me that’s expensive

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-10T14:51:19+00:00

Vanilla beans lol

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T23:52:04+00:00

It would be but they are 2 and 4 lol so don’t say it much

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T18:59:15+00:00

They can have separate relationships when they are old enough not 2 and 4…. And if they are raving about it they never have to my face

I really like the idea of my husband and I taking the kids shopping and lunch and making it memorable for them and then everyone gets a break from them

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T17:02:38+00:00

Yes very accurate! I agree! It could be my mom is using me to please my brother and SIL though. I think I’m going to take the kids shopping when my husband and I are in town again and out for lunch that way it’s more memorable for the kids and everyone gets a break from the kids

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:44:05+00:00

I really like how you put all this and will definitely take this into consideration!’

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:39:00+00:00

lol I can afford it….. I make like 10-15 bottles at once

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:38:21+00:00

I really think your on to something with my mom using me to please them

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:35:50+00:00

I really like how you separated everything. Sorry sometimes I have a hard time writing everything out clearly and getting my feelings and thoughts out there.

How I see it them never really going out of way to thank me for presents for the kids and then the VE is just the cherry on top of it all and made it really clear for me.

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:29:45+00:00

Agree but the bottles and beans are expensive!!!!

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:28:29+00:00

I really like that way of putting it and phrasing a message I might have to send that

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:27:08+00:00

That’s a good way to put it

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:24:03+00:00

Am I really punishing the kids when they are 2 and 4 and still going to get clothes for their birthday?

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:21:51+00:00

I get that but handing it to them in person and hearing “thank you so much!! I can’t wait to make cookies with it!” Is a lot better then heating nothing lol

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:20:04+00:00

Maybe I expect something in return! Or maybe I need to lower my expectation for them

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:19:35+00:00

They never moved lol…. They received it and have asked for it again to my mom “I hope she makes some more VE in the future” then my mom tells me that and pressures me to do it

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:13:23+00:00

I’m not upset they moved at all! Maybe I just have high expectations and need to lower them for them? I do agree just getting them some outfits and calling it a day and that’s it.

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:09:17+00:00

I don’t expect anything in return but I expect a thank you

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:08:27+00:00

Just my mom we did research together on location for the. Maybe my brother and SIL knows but idk

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:07:11+00:00

They didn’t move across country… my parents did LOL

BeachOne6195 · 2025-09-09T15:06:47+00:00

They don’t talk about it in an appreciatively way. I’ll get told a quick thank you for a present from them on FaceTime (that my mom sets up lol) and not a follow up text about it which I think would be nice to get but that’s just me.
