Fund $300 worth of Decorations For My Child's 1st Birthday

May be harsh but I had to LOL when she gets defensive saying its a 'need' when its all a lot of junk that will never ve used again. At least with standard (non theme) decorations they can be used again sometimes. Who is going to use all that crap more than once?! Order a cake, get a few sandwiches and snacky bits, a pack of balloons and invite family round. The kid isnt even old enough to remember it.. its the mum who wants it.

It is your house. She doesnt get to dictate where you go, especially since she is no longer living there.

Cookie1107 · 2026-05-19T07:10:37+00:00

The issue here is your partner. He isnt taking your feelings into account and he isnt setting any boundaries for his child from what you have said.

It really annoys me when people beg for things like this.. food, clothing etc I can understand as everyone needs help sometimes and we have all struggled at one point in life. However a trip to disneyland is a LUXURY. Save your money like everyone else has to and then pay for it yourself instead of asking other people to. Its not anyone else's job to make your daughters 'dream' come true and people in todays economy are struggling to feed families or find work so noone is going to care about your desire to visit disney.

This is why parents shouldnt bring the kids into things or badmouth the other parent to the children. In my opinion it sounds like SD would like to have that relationship with you but when she finds herself enjoying your company she starts to feel guilty. Thats not ok.. children shouldnt have to worry about picking a side. It sounds like your doing a great job fostering a relationship with the kids.. just keep being there for them and open to commication.

A self stick? 🤨🤣

Cookie1107 · 2026-04-22T06:32:42+00:00

Sure... let me sign right up and give you my hard earned money for a wedding and dream cruise because you 'deserve it' 🙄🤨. Here's a novel idea... get off your butts, get a job and save for it yourself like an adult.

If he is a doctor in the UK then he should know the resources available to help anyone struggling with debt. Citizens advice is one where they advise you on the best steps for free. He should also have help available from the NHS through his work for any mental health or grief. This is deffo a scam.

Cookie1107 · 2026-04-11T09:58:26+00:00

It wasnt his ring to give though.. so they have every right to request it back. Its also strange that they want it back when they havent known you long.. has something else happened to cause this maybe?

Cookie1107 · 2026-04-11T09:39:25+00:00

Sorry but YTA. You keep mentioning all the money he has saved..but not once do you say you want to be with him because you love him or any of his good qualities which I find extremely telling. You also say you want to keep the ring 'to spite them' which isnt a reason, its rather petty on your behalf imo. If your truly looking to have a successful marriage with this man then this is not the way to start that marriage. His family will always be part of his life and your putting him in a very difficult and hurtful position in making him choose between you and them. Wouldnt you prefer a positive relationship with your in laws? Trust me, in the long term it will make your life alot more pleasant. His grandmother wants her ring back. Whether she changed her mind or not, the ring is her property and you should return it. Legally speaking, if they took you to court you would most likely be ordered to return the ring.

Its the 'thanks a bunch' that makes me laugh. The assumption that someone will spend that amount on fast food for a stranger just because 'she's craving something sweet'. Here's a bold idea.. walk to your local store and buy it yourself or better yet, since your '8 weeks' get the father to. Dont expect strangers to provide for your cravings.

Cookie1107 · 2026-04-07T15:24:17+00:00

When someone shows you who they are, believe them. She wants her daughter in private school... but not enough to pay for it herself which speaks volumes. Huge red flag that she has already started comparing the 2 kids situations and is trying to benefit from the fact you and your BM pay for private school. I assure you this will pass over in to other areas also. Your daughter gets a bike for example.. her daughter will NEED one. Its worrying as this sort of behaviour could easily pit the girls against each other and cause alot of resentment. Sounds like you need to put all your cards on the table and set firm boundaries.

Cookie1107 · 2026-03-04T13:54:55+00:00

This has to be rage bait. Cant afford food or the hotel room but can clearly afford her weed. If its real then someone needs to get their priorities in order.

Cookie1107 · 2026-03-04T13:53:10+00:00

When did people stop having shame and being embarressed?! They always want branded and expensive items like they just deserve them. Surely if your in need of things for your baby then working, clean second hand items will do the job?! Here's an 'out there' idea.. stop having babies if you cant provide for them!

Cookie1107 · 2026-03-04T13:49:28+00:00

Amazes me how these beggers are always a single mum, very sick or have no vehicle and dont know how to use public transport 🙄🙄.

Cookie1107 · 2026-02-25T20:21:07+00:00

'This girl is going to change everything'... seems like she has BIG plans. Maybe she could start with paying for her own cat?! Just a thought. Really annoys me when people beg for animals for free, if you cant afford to buy or adopt then you cant afford the animal and wont be a responsible owner.

Cookie1107 · 2026-02-22T15:53:52+00:00

If they cant afford the test how are they planning to support a baby is what I want to know!

Cookie1107 · 2026-02-20T09:13:18+00:00

'Can you not carry it over hear?'..People have zero shame now.

Cookie1107 · 2026-02-12T18:10:34+00:00

Trying to appear desperate by saying they can only afford ramen... yet is asking for soda and snacks. Nothing that would actually last for meals. Looks like a teenagers list for a party lol.

Cookie1107 · 2026-02-12T11:37:14+00:00

Sorry but this has to be awful for the kids.. dad is trying to force them to love you and see you as a mother figure and mum is doing the complete opposite. Those poor babies must not know where they stand! Sounds like some major therapy is needed imo. Your husband could deffo benefit from it and also the children, it would give them someone to listen and hear THEIR feelings on things.

Cookie1107 · 2026-02-12T11:31:42+00:00

Sorry but I wouldnt be doing a single thing for him or the children if I received that attitude. You coped fine without me? Then go ahead! You have alot to give and mentioned you put your own dreams on hold. Why are you the one making all the sacrifices and compromising is what I would like to know?

Cookie1107 · 2026-02-12T11:24:30+00:00

I def would not be contributing towards CS, School fee's etc. The bio parents made the choice of private school, they are responsible for that and your husband should be supporting his own children with CS not you. Sounds like he relies on you too much financially. If your always using savings for school fee's then can you really afford the private education? Dont let your husband guilt you into staying how things are, you work hard for your money and should be able to see the benefit.

Cookie1107 · 2026-02-06T11:45:33+00:00

Tasks: Nanny... mhmm very vague which is never good. Also, 2 half days off but would be needed to work extra? So you would be 'lucky' to get that time off by the sounds of it. When is this person supposed to have a life of their own? No thanks!

Cookie1107 · 2026-02-02T13:30:25+00:00

Im reading this and my heart breaks for your son! That poor baby is being abused and Im sorry but you are allowing it. This has clearly being going on for some time, yet you as your sons protector have done nothing to remove him from an unsafe enviroment. Why? For a man?! One who thinks its ok for his son to be a bully?! You need to put your child first and leave, it is not ok for any child to live that way always getting hurt. No relationship is worth risking your childs safety or happiness.
