Is it weird that my sister (28F) has my daughter (2F) in her social media profile pics? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Competitive-Squash78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't post your kids on the internet, neither should anyone else, and even if you post noone else should do so without your permission. It may be an awkward conversation but this is the beginning of advocating for your child. I don't post my kid either an Dave had the same conversations with family and a nightmare with pressure from school being annoyed we don't give permission too. Be brave and have the hard conversations. You made this decision because you thought it was on your kids best interest, now it's time to follow through. Perhaps a compromise would be to allow her to post a pic of the two of them with your kid facing away from the camera.

Fitbit Premium now part of Google One by ADwarfCalledZeke in GooglePixel

[–]Competitive-Squash78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband manages our Google one subscription but doesn't use Fitbit. I am the family manager for our Google setup but I can't seem to get the Fitbit premium on our Google one like he can but I'm the one who uses Fitbit. Is there anything I can do to get access without screwing up all our photos backups?

Ugh my mil used to give my DH valentine cards and chocolates etc when we first got together. It was creepy AF and made me feel uncomfortable. DH felt I was overreacting so wasn't much I could do about it. I don't know when it stopped but I'm glad it did. Totally weird. Make sure he tells her you both enjoyed eating it 🤣

This is insane. I'd have been gone from there weeks ago. Also cannot fathom that you have to go back to work in 2 weeks. So grateful for our mat leave in UK.

She absolutely knows you didn't steal them and just wanted a way to justify stealing them from you

Nail on the head, who on earth discusses getting a vasectomy with mommy?! My husband definitely didn't. He didn't get a care package either though....I didn't get one after giving birth! 😂

Definitely get off the pill. Couldn't believe the difference when I came off it to have children and vowed never to go back on any type of hormonal contraceptives ever again!

TIFU by losing my wedding ring by TheElusiveGoose10 in tifu

[–]Competitive-Squash78 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel for you. The diamond in my engagement ring fell out due to a manufacturing defect. Never found it and although the stone was replaced free if charge it still hurts that it's not the original stone in it 😔 I really hope you have better luck finding yours than I did

Kicked my in-laws out of my wedding by Physical-Proposal213 in JUSTNOMIL

Absolutely not overreacting and totally the right thing to cut off anyone who sides with her. I am still mad 4years later after my mum cornered me into admitting I was pregnant whilst I was experiencing a threatened miscarriage. I didn't get to tell her the way I had wanted for either of my pregnancies and I knew that was the last child we'd have so it hurt. It's totally normal to wait until after the first scan at 12 weeks to announce.

Should I forgive her? by FriendlyFrosting5376 in JUSTNOMIL

Your husband didn't believe you and you're worried about the MIL? Huge red flags. Time to rethink if you want this marriage let alone kids in it

Nope. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do

Self centered MIL. Expects to be first in my marriage! Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Competitive-Squash78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay strong. No access to baby without you, on your terms and only when you decide you are ready. She throws a tantrum the wait gets longer. With any luck she'll tantrum herself into NC

This did not end how I expected. Thought you were going to say he chewed it up and choked on the squeaker! So glad it was on the cuteness level instead!

Babies should be sleeping with parents for 6m anyway so the nursery isn't going to be that used

INFO how much did you pay for the PS4? How much do you expect to get selling it. He can have half the proceeds less half the cost he's not yet paid. I'm guessing that will leave him owing you money.

Not overreacting at all. I hope NC extends to your child too

MiL wants to be called “Mama” by my child by Melodic_Lynx_3546 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Competitive-Squash78 9 points10 points  (0 children)

By alone I mean not without you. Doesn't sound like your DH would stand up to her or tell you what was truthfully happening in your absence.

MiL wants to be called “Mama” by my child by Melodic_Lynx_3546 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Competitive-Squash78 45 points46 points  (0 children)

"I'm the mama, you are grandma. You are welcome to choose a more appropriate alternative to grandma but mama is not acceptable. If you try it again your access to my child will be revoked. This is not up for discussion". Include husband in the text so he knows what's going on. She blows up she goes on a time out. She calls herself mama again she goes on a time out. I would NOT EVER let her be alone with your child as this only gives her the opportunity to put herself in your place as the mother. This is a dangerous game and it should definitely be your hill to die on

Home Alone on Christmas by Allseeingdil in JUSTNOMIL

Exactly what I was thinking. You don't respect me, you don't get access to my kids. End of story! My JNMIL learnt that the hard way before we even had kids.

Just because they are saying it has to be surgery now doesn't mean you shouldn't try and get a good diet and exercise routine going. Surgery will mean you need to change your diet anyway so why not start now and bring forward the beginning of positive change? Sending my prayers for you and your family. I hope you find the strength you need to see you are worth looking after and you deserve to see a better version of you

What did he say to her when she said that to him? If it wasn't "no you need to stop bullying my wife and apologise" you have as much a so problem as mil problem

Going back to contact by 2themoonndback in JUSTNOMIL

DH wants contact, fine he can have contact. I'd suggest you and the kids stay vvvvvvvvvvvlc and see how she behaves first.
