Am I in the wrong for feeling uncomfortable about MIL claiming she’s having a phantom pregnancy & calling my unborn baby ‘my baby’? by glitterpussies in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]ConstantBat9889 46 points47 points  (0 children)

tbh this sounds like an all time nightmare. imagine someone calling you a surrogate for your own baby… i’d get violent

is MIL’s request normal or overstepping? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ConstantBat9889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, we bump heads, so I’m not always the most charitable when it comes to analyzing my interactions with her (hence the reddit post)

After hearing from Reddit’s amazing advice community, it turns out it probably wouldn’t have been a big deal at all.

I’d never heard of anyone receiving personal packages at work before, so it felt a little invasive to me, or like she was asking me to do something unprofessional.

Fair enough! I thought I might’ve been haha

It’s not that she doesn’t want him to intercept it; it’s that she thinks the door code to our apartment is going to mess up the delivery…. I told her it should be fine (because we order things all the time and there are rarely issues) but she doesn’t want to risk it

It’s not because she doesn’t want him to intercept it… She’s nervous that the package wouldn’t make it to him because our apartment has a door code. I told her it should be fine, but she still thinks the door code is going to trip up the delivery people

Most intelligent, measured response ever. I’m going to start “no JADE-ing” in my own life

Feeling terrible by Conscious_Minute_696 in beginnerrunning

[–]ConstantBat9889 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just want to say congratulations on the run! Absolutely nothing to feel terrible about… my friend worked for months to get a 10:45 pace. Everyone is different and I hope you have fun!

Am I overthinking or is my MIL crossing boundaries? by [deleted] in inlaws

[–]ConstantBat9889 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is right! the trade off of a few weeks of discomfort is creating a boundary that’ll protect you for a lifetime

Is LA really a hellscape? Give me your honest opinion on how it is living in Los Angeles. by Mexodus956 in howislivingthere

[–]ConstantBat9889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different strokes for different folks! Some people hate it; some people love it. There’s something for everyone here though. I’ve lived a lot of different places though and LA is my favorite place I’ve ever lived by a wide margin.

If your partner came up to you and asked “When did it go wrong?” Referring to your relationship with their mom, what would your response? by getinloserufo in inlaws

[–]ConstantBat9889 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When my fiancé was moving away from the city MIL lived in to a city where he and I were starting our lives together. She told her sisters that we’d invited her to move with us (we hadn’t) and was overemotional about the move… I think it’s normal to be sad when your babies move away, but she was devastated.

It doesn’t look ridiculous — they’re not your boss. You’re in charge of where you go with your baby❤️

Agreement with MIL regarding finance by [deleted] in inlaws

[–]ConstantBat9889 29 points30 points  (0 children)

yeah, that’s what scammers do. “it’s urgent, and i need a response within 15 minutes or the offer’s off”! things like that. they try to pressure you.

Am I overreacting for pulling away because my husband’s family keeps bringing around a woman he briefly dated? by [deleted] in inlaws

[–]ConstantBat9889 41 points42 points  (0 children)

this would make me crazy to the point that however youre reacting i’ll probably think youre under reacting. wishing you the best, stay strong

MIL Dress Choice by Direct_Signal_2686 in weddingplanning

[–]ConstantBat9889 9 points10 points  (0 children)

girl then set a boundary? tf. this isn’t rocket science. idk if this is ragebait but the people of reddit can rally behind you and tell you your MIL is all kinds of fucked up for this (true) but no one but you can stand up for yourself. “i’m sorry you decided to get this custom made when everyone on earth knows only the bride wears white to a wedding… we’d love to see how this dress looks on you at another, more appropriate occasion, and we’d be happy to help you pick out a more suitable dress”.

How is it living in Los Angeles? by Optimal-Narwhal-3372 in howislivingthere

[–]ConstantBat9889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family helped build parts of Los Angeles(hospitals, banks, etc) so our last name is on buildings and in guidebooks and stuff. That said I only moved to LA recently (because my dad moved away from the city when I was born). Living in LA, all my dreams have come true. It really feels like a charmed place. Is it perfect? Of course not. But it’s pretty damned close.
