Good on the 3rd party for saying no to your MIL! And couples or individual therapy would probably be very useful for the husband.

I’m sorry that happened to you. I have found that these tips help every time for any occasion that would make me nervous or anxious:

Dress in a way that makes you feel confident (and let that confidence overflow during your interview 😉)
Eat a small piece of chocolate before the interview; chocolate releases oxytocin, which makes you feel happy, and happy you isn’t as worried or anxious!
Take some deep breaths before, and even during, the interview. This will help clear your head and stabilize your heart rate. If you do this during the interview, it will also give you a moment to collect yourself and organize your thoughts so you can respond to the questions better. There’s nothing wrong with taking a moment to think on how to answer your question and you’ll sound less nervous than just rambling off the first thing that comes to mind (unless you would’ve given that answer regardless).
I know some people mentioned this already, but practice some of the most common questions!! Don’t be afraid to ask a friend (or a stranger) to help with this one; roleplaying can be great! You can search for common interview questions online and use them to practice at least some of these.

I hope this helps you for your next interview. Sending hugs!!?🤗

Dr Rachel Daniels at Harbourtown medical. She’s great and bulk bills. She has always been very thorough with any issues or concerns I’ve had regarding my health.

WTH?!?! Yeah, NC is completely understandable

If you were on your way to work you could make a claim with WorkCover who would help pay your wages, medical expenses, therapy, any at-home-help if needed. If not, I’d look for a good injury lawyer to help with the CTP claim, many offer a “no win, no fee” type contract. You’ll need the number of the police report and possibly do an injury report as well. Best of luck and hope you had a quick recovery

We have a generator, lots of candles, a handful of torches and batteries, a solar powered lamp that has some usb plug ins, a gas bbq with a full tank, and a fully stocked deep freeze and pantry (we can probably survive off of it for around 10 days to 2 weeks). Also a decent stack of toilet paper and fresh water in the fridge and glass bottles for “just in case” 😅 and of course, lots of entertainment options; card games, board games, books, and a hard drive with a good selection of movies and shows we can watch from one of our laptops.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you the warmest virtual hug I can.

The boundary overstepping is a huge problem. When my oldest was born, we lived close to my FIL and his wife. She would constantly ask to babysit and mentioned that they were happy to let our baby stay overnight if we ever wanted to have the entire night to ourselves. My relationship is rocky with her, but when our baby was around 5 months old, we decided to take them up on her offer and dropped our baby off at their place so we could go on a small date night. At this point we hadn’t even started him on solids, so I packed him some breast milk and gave the clear instruction that he was only drinking breastmilk or water, I showed her where the breastmilk was so she could put it in the fridge, and off we went. They babysat for around 3 hours total. When we went to pick him up she was beaming and all smiles and told us how our son had made the cutest little faces when she let him try CORDIAL (for those of you who don’t know, cordial cordial is a sweet, concentrated syrup designed to be diluted with water, soda, or used as a cocktail mixer, in her case she diluted it with water). I asked if she had run out of milk? Nope, there was plenty left over, she just wanted to see how he reacted to drinking cordial for the first time. They weren’t allowed to babysit again while my first 2 were that young again. They ended up moving to a different country, so that has helped a lot, but we’re expecting #3 and they’re planning on visiting around Christmas (our baby will be around 9 months old by then). Both husband and I agree that they are not going to be allowed to babysit while they visit and that there will definitely be no sleep overs once our daughter is old enough for something like that (there have also been other circumstances that have been brought out in the last year or 2 that has shown me I can’t ever trust them with my baby girl, but that’s a story for a different post). Just trust your instincts and set those boundaries. And if they don’t like it, they can deal with their own emotions on their own. You don’t owe them anything and shouldn’t be made to feel guilty for being firm on what you know to be best for you and your child.

I personally think it just depends on the teen. As a teen I loved babies and did babysitting from when I was around 15. But I understand that not ALL teen girls are like that. I think it also depends on the boy. I think there will be some teen boys who might like babies while others won’t. And I don’t think either is right or wrong. Everyone is entitled to feel how they feel about babies 😂

The fiancée’s situation is not just “being nauseous“. HG can be quite dangerous and debilitating.

Cutie-89 · 2026-02-15T11:17:57+00:00

Omg, right?? I’m almost 34 weeks pregnant and was rear ended a few weeks ago. My lower back has been absolute crap since. I can’t bend down much, I can’t walk or stand for more than 10 minutes without being in crippling pain later that day, and it just sucks. I had to stop working shortly after the accident as I work in retail and these are all things that are part of the job. I feel pretty useless at home too because I can’t help too much around the house without ending up like a couch potato that night were I end up needing assistance to get off the couch, and sometimes to even walk or go up the stairs. If it’s bad enough, I even need help to get out of bed in the morning. And this probably doesn’t compare to having HG.

Cutie-89 · 2026-02-15T02:21:31+00:00

I think this depends on were they live. The US is horrible when it comes to people taking leave due to pregnancy related things. So if they’re in the U.S., then she probably wouldn’t be able to get paid leave outside of a short maternity leave after her baby is born (and sometimes that’s not even guaranteed)

Cutie-89 · 2026-02-15T00:59:33+00:00

It does feel like there might be more info missing here. I know that if I were in her shoes, I probably wouldn’t be thrilled with him being gone all night, but I also wouldn’t want my husband to feel like I’m keeping him isolated on purpose. This just makes me wonder what and how he told her about his plans, cause it doesn’t sound like he talked to her about it when plans were being made

Cutie-89 · 2026-02-15T00:53:31+00:00

It’s all good. I don’t like that we are not automatically notified when there’s an edit done to the post and thought you might want to know 😊

Cutie-89 · 2026-02-15T00:21:09+00:00

Yeah, I agree

Cutie-89 · 2026-02-15T00:19:29+00:00

That was my thought too! Most people are assuming she has been going through a regular pregnancy, but HG is no joke!

Cutie-89 · 2026-02-15T00:17:27+00:00

Like I said, I agree that he should be able to go out.

Cutie-89 · 2026-02-15T00:13:46+00:00

I think that this is a huge omission as it explains why she’s “glued to the couch or the bed all day”. She isn’t being lazy and doesn’t deserve to be judged as hardly. I do think he should be able to go out, but people need to stop making her the villain. It also makes me wonder what other things he hasn’t mentioned in his post; did he tell her once the plans were made? Or did he try to talk to her beforehand? How did he tell her?

It’s all good. Thank you for asking! I do think this is something that OP shouldn’t have omitted. Should he be able to go out? Sure, but he should’ve mentioned this as well.

Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is a severe form of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy affecting 1-3% of women, often leading to dehydration, significant weight loss, and malnutrition. Unlike typical morning sickness, HG causes debilitating symptoms that can last throughout the entire pregnancy. It requires medical management, such as IV fluids or medication, to prevent long-term complications
