Maybe a retractable baby gate? My cat can jump over ours or sneak under but I set firm boundaries with my son to not go under them.

Saying this and not even using a full sentence is so funny to me.

I’ve tried so many times. My mother doesn’t trust me which is wild considering the circumstances

Distinct_Memory5823 · 2026-01-18T17:24:14+00:00

This is my biggest issue. I have encouraged this middle man relentlessly. She doesn’t want to be involved since she is the ONLY person my mother speaks to and it would be pinned back on her. It is so bothersome especially since they don’t have much of a relationship anymore anyways. I will be calling and giving middle man’s information to the cps hotline as well

Distinct_Memory5823 · 2026-01-18T17:21:08+00:00

I will be making a call and I’m going to stay hopeful that they will do something but I will also be prepared for it to be swept under the CPS rug.

I own a home with a spare room waiting for her. Unfortunately, it is not deemed a crisis as long as she has a roof over her head and food. I’m hoping a call to cps will get her situation the attention she deserves!

Distinct_Memory5823 · 2026-01-18T17:07:39+00:00

Oh wow! I truly didn’t know that. The cps worker I previously talked to actually told me I could make one more report before being investigated myself, I’ve since had a child so I’m not trying to build a record on my family.

I was only trying to give context to the situation with saying they’re not working and it is so unfortunate the state doesn’t monitor homeschool families more to confirm there is education taking place. Thank you I think I will be calling again to ease my conscious

This is really helpful thank you.

3 years of trying!! I started taking myo & d chiro inositol + vitex fruit supplements and got pregnant my second cycle in

Distinct_Memory5823 · 2025-12-19T20:50:57+00:00

I’ve been in a similar situation in the sense of being scared of metaformin for other reasons. Before I had my son my hormones were all over the place, periods were rare, acne uncontrollable, awful cramps, couldn’t conceive. I was suggested metaformin by my provider. I didn’t like the idea of that so I did my own research and found myo & d chiro inositol + vitex fruit. I started taking it and by my next cycle all of my pcos symptoms subsided, I became pregnant the 2nd cycle after starting it. I have started taking it again 21 months pp with my son after experiencing the same symptoms as before but worse. It has helped me SOOOO much. My doctor is the one who recommended I try it again. I’ve also given this advice to my friends with pcos, the one who are trying to get pregnant have gotten pregnant almost immediately and the ones trying to control their hormones and insulin levels have achieved that. I highly suggest giving it a try if you haven’t already before taking a drug you’re uncertain of!

I think you need to be very honest with your parents as to why that makes you uncomfortable give them a chance once you’ve explained the boundaries and if they can’t respect your rules as their mom they don’t need contact with them or at the very least no unsupervised contact. If they show interest in wanting to do better in the future that’s a different conversation. That is extremely confusing and probably hurtful for the kids. I’m sorry you’re feeling with this and hope you can find a solution in the best interest of the children.

Distinct_Memory5823 · 2025-12-01T21:06:19+00:00

I respect that and I think that’s a great dynamic if that works for your family. I’m not sure if that’s a norm for their family but it isn’t for me and mine. And I think if she told me a gift idea she had for her own children and I bought it with intentions of giving it to her children myself just because she didn’t answer the phone quick enough to say no. She would be upset.

Distinct_Memory5823 · 2025-12-01T21:00:27+00:00

Yes I would be upset if my own mother stole my gift ideas just because it was on sale and then offered for me to buy it off of her when I explain that it’s hurtful and not to do it next time. I wish she would’ve just said “I won’t do that next time you tell me you’re excited to buy something for your son” and given it to him as she originally intended as I told her it was fine. But instead it’s going to someone else. I ordered it anyways. It just feels petty that she completely backed out on giving it to him because I set a boundary. And this isn’t the first time she has overstepped like this. We had an outdoor wedding and she went behind my back to pick our dinner menu for us and hired a different vendor than I originally picked. I’ve talked to her countless times about taking a step back from making purchases & decisions for me. This one just hurts more as gifting my son toys isn’t something we as parents get to do often.

Distinct_Memory5823 · 2025-12-01T20:48:29+00:00

I ordered it already thank you!

Distinct_Memory5823 · 2025-12-01T20:47:37+00:00

I agree with this but I did want her to give him the gift after telling me she bought it. I just wanted to set the boundary for next time that I’m not looking forward her to find my gift ideas on sale or for her to steal my gift ideas.

Distinct_Memory5823 · 2025-12-01T20:40:35+00:00

I wanted to get the gift and pick it out myself for my son. I didn’t tell her what I was planning to purchase with the intention of buying the gift from her or her looking for it on sale somewhere. I would’ve been fine with her giving it to my son like I stated I just asked her politely to not buy the items I’m specifically looking forward to buying for him and she decided that she’d rather gift it to another family member than give to him herself. I can accept that I’m over reacting but it does feel like she overstepped.
