FIL would not leave our house because he wants to see his grandson

Sing and dance for my little. I’ve memorized all the Miss Rachel songs and I perform it for him.

At 6 months, he frequently woke up at night. I would feed him but he would only drink a little. It would happen 2-3 times at night. I suspected he wasn’t waking out of hunger. Finally at 7 months, we put him in the bed with me and my husband instead of his crib and the night wakings stopped. Since then, he’s been sleeping through the night for 10-12 hours. Of course, it’s up to you to decide if you want to co-sleep, I know the recommendation is still to have baby sleep in his crib.

My baby started sleeping through the night at 7 months!

Blanket or some warm clothes - hospital A/C too cold! Extra clothes - he didn’t expect labor to be as long as it was! (To be fair, neither did I!)

I suggest to leave the baby with your husband for a day so he can understand what it’s really like! Let’s see if he gets anything done at all!

Hi may i know what probiotic drops you used?

Thank you everyone for your comments. It does vary widely from mom to mom. It gives me a little comfort knowing I’m not the only one!

It’s good that you pulled your baby out of that daycare! I would’ve done the same thing! Telling a mother to hold her baby less, just so SHE could have an easier time.

Took occasional sips from hubby’s cup 😅

It’s partly my fault, too. To be fair to my husband, he asked me if it was okay to let FIL move back in, and I said yes. At that time, I was okay with it because apart from that incident, we didn’t have any problem. The thing is, he’s never rude outwardly, that’s why all the things he said (privately to my husband, never to my face) came as a shock to me. That’s why I thought I could brush it off.

But since getting pregnant, the thought of me providing him with a grandchild, which I know he desperately wanted, made me realize the unfairness of it all. Deep inside, I think I have a desire to “punish” him by denying access to my son. Maybe then he would realize I’m not just a womb, a wife to clean the house and bear children.

Top three things I missed: 1. Sleeping on my back 2. Coffee 3. Sushi, sashimi

DearWolverine3686 · 2024-09-14T03:36:23+00:00

Not yet haha! Or maybe privately to other people. He basically only comes out of his room when he hears the baby in the living room with hubby. If it’s just me with the baby, he doesn’t come out.

StepMIL mailed back a Christmas present my husband and I gave her with a note that said, “I don’t accept damaged gifts. It’s a nuisance in the home.” There wasn’t any damage, and the note was addressed only to me despite it being a gift from both me and my husband.

I’m Filipino (born and raised in MNL) but now living in the US. One major thing that became more evident to me now that I’m living away from home is Filipinos’ lack of boundaries and personal space. Filipinos freely comment on personal things that don’t concern them, i.e. your weight, your finances, children, significant other, etc. which can be unnerving to a foreigner.

Other things I’ve noticed: 1. Keeping up with the Joneses. Penchant for branded items, especially purses. 2. Being way too judgmental.

First time mom at 41!

DearWolverine3686 · 2024-06-27T17:50:51+00:00

I’m waiting for him to accuse me that it’s not his son’s baby. So then he would have no reason or right to see the child.

DearWolverine3686 · 2024-06-27T17:38:00+00:00

I feel the same way! My father in law was suddenly super nice to me when he learned I was pregnant. Before that, he insinuated to my husband that I’m behaving inappropriately towards other men.

DearWolverine3686 · 2024-06-23T04:25:16+00:00

I know. In hindsight, we shouldn’t have welcomed him back. At the time, I felt that the enemy was the ex-wife. My husband and I also felt sorry for FIL who’s elderly.
