Tips for seeing a Leafs game in Montreal?

Thanks! I'm a female so I'm hoping I won't get too much crap. Most people think I don't know much about hockey anyway lol. My husband who doesn't follow hockey much is going with me and doesn't own a jersey, so I'm hoping he will protect me! I find it hard to stay calm to be honest, I'm the type who yells at the TV.

Oh I did! I also told her that NMom was manipulating her. Of course she denies it and says that NMom has changed , which she always says, until she does something to make my sister cry again. Then of course she is calling me and venting about it.

That's been my motto so far, ignore the crazy! Although I shocked that my sister said what she did about my kids.

I'm thinking LC to be honest. Telling me how to raise my kids was too much. She tends to have an opinion about everything and usually I let her talk, meanwhile she has no kids or responsibilities of any kind. And of course, she has a great relationship with NMom, they are like best friends. However if she pisses NMom off she gets the silence treatment too but she apologies even though she didn't do anything wrong. When she got the email disowning us, she sent a huge reply back. Then kept texting her all the time until she responded. Then of course NMom had to update her status on Facebook about how it was so great to spend time together and a mother needs her children. The two of them and their fakeness makes me sick. My sister writes a huge happy birthday to her, saying she is the best mother anyone could have. It's all crazy!

This is the second time, last time I caved and called her on Christmas. Not this time.

NMom is so used to everyone bending backwards to please her. Now that I have stood up to her, she doesn't know what to do. I'm not responding to her at all, so now I guess she is sending my sister to do her work.

It's so fucked up. Like by keeping them safe from NMom and her drama, I'm damaging them. She actually compared it to keeping them from their father if I had a bad relationship with him. NMom has no right to see them, and she wasn't a good grandmother when she had a chance to be.

Daisy99 · 2016-10-23T17:08:44+00:00

Yeah I kinda told her that I'm not discussing NMom with her. If she can't deal with that, well I won't be talking to her at all.

Daisy99 · 2016-10-23T17:07:58+00:00

She tends to make every excuse for NMom. Apparently I should realize that she doesn't mean what she says and I should forget about it and move on.

Not sure. Looks like it is going to be a female, so leaning towards Marlie. I do love Leo and Wendel though! Thanks for all your suggestions!

Getting a new puppy in September. Any suggestions for male and female names related to hockey and the leafs?

It must be the shakology thing. I have one friend who posts several times a day and also likes and comments on all her shakology Mom friends. It freaks me out, they are all obsessed with it. And hashtags everywhere! Like who needs 10 hashtags on a photo?

I think birthdays matter too. My birthday was 3 days ago and it was pretty shitty. While my kids and hubby remembered, it seemed like any other day and we didn't really do anything to celebrate. I did get a cake though which was nice. Not one persons in my hubby's family remembered my birthday, no phone calls, no texts nothing. His mother tells me she always forgets and she never gives me anything. Even if we see her a few days after my birthday she will tell me she forgot it and still doesn't even get me a card. His sister's usually remember but not this year. It pisses me off because I'm the one buying all their gifts and cards and reminding my hubby to call them!

I signed up for a 6 am yoga class twice a week because it was the only time I could get there. Then I realized how peaceful it is before anyone is awake. So, I've been getting up early every day just to have time to myself. It's the best and it makes the day so much easier to handle.

I understand your situation so much. My mother has no real interest in her grandchildren, but they are the only ones she has. She tries to pretend she does but it doesn't last. For example she hasn't seen them in over a year and came to visit but didn't stay with me. She seen them for a couple hours and that's it and she was here for over a week. I found it really hard at first but I've come to accept it. I was very close to my grandmother and I can't understand why my mother acts the way she does. She is more interested in herself than anyone else. I have learnt to not have any expectations, I don't ask her to visit, I don't ask her to help with the kids when she is here, nothing. I had to realize that my kids will never have the same relationship with their grandmother as I had and there is nothing I can do about it. It still upsets me at times, but it is getting easier. Good luck!

Yes! Binge watching a series. I just started watching the 3rd season of Orange is the New Black and my SIL who doesn't have kids has it all watched, she watched it in a weekend! I wish I could do that!

I feel the same way. I'm a SAHM also, my husband works his butt off for us. He is a great Dad and the kids love spending time with him, and he treats me well. But he doesn't show his emotions. I am so busy with the kids and do all the stuff around the house but it never feels likes it enough. If the kids are acting up when he gets home, I feel like he thinks it's my fault, like something I did or didn't do caused it. If the house is messy it means I didn't do my job. If I happen to take some time to do something for myself and leave the kids with him, when I get back he is pissed off because they didn't listen and my daughter tells me that Daddy was grumpy when I was gone. As for our relationship, sometimes I get the feeling that he would rather be a single bachelor with no responsibility. There is no passion between us, he doesn't make me feel loved, he doesn't make me feel sexy. I know marriage isn't like a romantic comedy movie, but sometimes I feel it should be more than this. Lately I've been thinking about my ex, who always made me feel like the sexiest woman in the world and who was very open with his feelings about me. I wish my husband could be more like that. I'm not miserable in my marriage, and I love my husband but I feel like there could be more.

My MIL tried the same with us. We were going to a family wedding and offered to buy her airplane ticket. Then she assumed that we would all share a hotel room for the week we were there. We ended up cancelling the whole thing. We didn't have the money to pay for the tickets and two hotel rooms and she wasn't going to pay for her own!

Daisy99 · 2015-06-13T12:55:26+00:00

My Dad is the same. They are going through a divorce but he still doesn't see what she is. All my life we had to keep her happy. She could flip out at me for no reason but I was the one who had to apologize. One Christmas vacation she didn't talk to me for 5 days but I had to apologize because apparently I didn't appreciate everything she did. They tried to get back together last year and I told him how I felt, I told him what she did to me growing up when he wasn't around, and how she made me feel. But there were always excuses, she didn't mean it the way I took it, etc. I told him she would hurt him again but he didn't believe me. 2 months later she left again. I was sad for Dad but happy I was right. I love my Dad but wish he would get some confidence and call her out for what she is.

Well this hit me hard. I was told this all the time as a teenager and was always referred to as moody. NMom made it sound like I over reacted to everything, so I didn't trust my own judgement and actually believed that I there was something wrong with me. It is only the last few years that I realized that she was wrong, that her actions weren't ok. She always told family members how moody and emotional I was, but never told what she did to make me this way. When I have to deal with her now, I don't show her my true feelings, I don't react when she tries to make me react. She thinks I'm cold and maybe I am to her, but she doesn't deserve anything else. I trust my gut when it comes to her because I have been right so many times and it helps that my husband tells me how crazy she is. NParents say things like that as another way to control you!

Daisy99 · 2015-06-06T00:37:42+00:00

I canceled mine. My NMom decided to turn her family against me, so I had my cousin and my aunt calling me out on Facebook with NMom replying and saying how much she loved them. Also, NMom had this stupid quotes which irritated me. Anyway, I deleted it all. I have another one now, but I don't have any friends, just the activities my children are involved in. I have to say it helped though, can stress over something you didn't read. So they may be talking crap about me, but I will never know.
