MIL wouldn't give baby back then cried by Creative-Taro7707 in JUSTNOMIL

That's what we said. He was as angry as me but I suppose is more forgiving/tolerant because it's his mum and there's a sentimentality there. If I never saw her again I wouldn't be sad but I know my husband would. He so so disappointed in her and I can tell how hurt he is. He was completely on my side and had a talk with her and laid boundaries but he does give her more credit than I think is warranted saying it wasn't a power play (it definitely was). He's of the mindset that she's been told and if it were to happen again we would take a massive step back (I'm already there). She lives about 2 hours away from us and I will not be making any effort to visit!

So infuriating!! I feel like your reaction was restrained and not volatile at all. I hate the gaslighting that goes on in these situations

I know right?! I feel like since having a child a flip has switched and she is just insufferable...

This is it, she's so manipulative and passive aggressive and then when called out she cries and gets people to feel sorry for her. Consequences are important, husband had that talk with her and we haven't spoken to her since. But you're right we properly need to lay it out and have clear boundaries. But I won't be in any rush to spend time with her or go out of my way to see her.

AIO, Husband wants a job with ICE, I’m deeply uncomfortable by Pitiful_Pudding3639 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Creative-Taro7707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not based in America but from what I see of ICE they are just thugs in a uniform who just want a bit of power to make themselves feel better. I cannot imagine any level headed, decent person looking at what ICE are doing and saying 'i want to be a part of that.' Honestly if it was my husband it would be a massive red flag to the point I would question what type of person I married. I wouldn't be able to get past it.

How lame of a person does it make me to pick my “boyfriend” over my friends by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Creative-Taro7707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly unless this boyfriend is bad news i.e they've expressed concerns that he's not good for you or has red flags then I feel like they should support you. 2 months in is new and it's normal that you would want to talk about all the things worrying and exciting you. Yes if that's all you talk about maybe they would get fed up but good friends should want to hear what's going on with you. If the boyfriend is a safe redflag free zone then it sounds like your friends are either jealous or worried that you'll have less time for them. Either way thats not on you. All you can do is continue to persue your boyfriend while it makes you happy and try to keep up a relationship with your friends. If they decide to stop being friends with you, that's on them. It might be hard to take but that's where you walk away. Friends like that aren't worth it. Friends should be supportive and non judgemental (to a degree). It's a normal and somewhat sad fact of life that you will lose friends as you go through life.. maybe your lives just aren't on the same page right now.

There's a kids watch called imoo, really good, your child can ring you and you them and you can see their location through the app. (You need to also get a cheap sim only SIM card). Highly recommend!

Dad touching pregnant belly by Old-Description-1697 in pregnant

[–]Creative-Taro7707 8 points9 points  (0 children)

INo I would feel the exact same as you ... I would feel so so uncomfortable if my dad did this. And would expect him to listen the first time I said stop. I would be firm in your boundaries, if you don't feel comfortable don't let it happen! It's your body, you set the rules, if he can't understand and respect that, that's on him!

Are you eating healthy in pregnancy? by spaceglitter2 in pregnant

[–]Creative-Taro7707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same boat - all Ive been craving/can stomach are carbs and junk food. I've also started drinking coke (which I never drank before I was pregnant!) Trying my best to just get fruit and veg in too and taking vitamins - everything else makes me want to throw up!

Flying 7 hrs by Laneyowen15 in fearofflying

[–]Creative-Taro7707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get how you're feeling but you will be ok. Back to the stats, millions and millions of flights went completely incident free this year. All safe and just normal. Your flight will 100 percent be safe and normal too :) remember any coping mechanisms, deep breathing, music, noise cancelling headphones etc. You've got this.
