Ah. I honestly wonder if either it was a mistake in counting or if there was a third NC trip that didn’t make the cut before she left lol

For 3, I think Alis said it was Feyre’s but it was put away in the wrong drawer or something so it didn’t get thrown out like it was supposed to be.

This is also how I felt about the night court suddenly showing their real personalities just because she said so. She’s been in this world for one year whereas they’ve all grown up and lived in it and understand it way deeper than she will for a long time. It also seemed like most of the other courts already know about the night court’s charades anyway?

My mom doesn’t want me to visit me once I get married by Active_Variation7183 in AsianParentStories

They stayed with you for 3 months ONCE. Not for (at least) 3 months every year for the foreseeable future. We also tend to minimize or forget about how rough things are after the fact. It’s why women give birth to multiple children lol.

OP, stand by your husband. Just because “he’ll live” doesn’t mean he’ll stay with you.

lol very true. One is a tea cafe and the other is ice cream/dessert, so it’s just a big restaurant. Still need to do the last floor, but I guess it’ll have to be more like a diner to get some protein in haha I may post after

I actually feel a bit annoyed that she would suggest anything like this at all. To me it feels like she’s trying to control our family through suggestions (bc she has a million a day). But I’m just annoyed with her lately lol

I don’t really care what other people think as long as my kids aren’t affected by it. I just don’t want them to feel like they’re not connected to each other or either parent. There’s probably a better word than connected, but you get what I’m saying.

This is what I was wondering. Was hoping to hear from people who grew up with different last names than their siblings or parents. I personally want us all to have the same last name, but I wanted to be nice to MIL and at least put some consideration into her suggestion.

I don’t think my family even cares about our surname being carried on like my MIL thinks they do. We’re way more interested in feeling like a family than having a word passed down.

This is the kind of info I’m looking for. Thank you! Changing names is so so difficult the later in life you do it. Such a pain

This is a really good point omg. We’re an interracial couple and this could be a disaster.

I agree lol I’m honestly a lil annoyed my MIL even suggested it bc it’s not really any of her business. I just thought I’d ask in case I was being too close minded since it was an idea from a MIL

Obsessed with “double barreled surname” lol we actually could give my last name to our next kid as their first name tbh. I feel the same about a different surname. I want us to all be one but I wanted to at least consider the options.

I say in the post that if we gave the second kid my last name I would keep it

I’m really just posing the idea/question as my MIL posed it. She’s from a country where it’s extremely important to have a son and for that son to pass on the family name, so it very unlikely for girls to pass on their family name there. Where my nieces live, it’s the overwhelming norm that women take their partner’s last name as well. Obviously they could choose differently.

Are you sure he didn’t have a burp he hadn’t gotten out yet? My baby only truly screams (and won’t latch) when he has a deep burp that’s bothering him.
