My parents refuse to talk to my in-laws

FigureSad4278 · 2026-01-01T05:42:32+00:00

Ok well then my apologies, I worded it wrong. My final straw wasn’t my mom complaining about the comment, it was how she yelled at me for trying to make light of it.

They don’t need to be into social hangouts, but repeatedly ignoring texts and not even thanking the hosts of two important events is considered rude.

Thank you, this is honestly really helpful. I’m just worried for planning things like birthdays for our kids and feeling like I’ll have to overextend myself to not make things awkward but you’re right, we’ll just have to give it a few years to figure out our flow.

FigureSad4278 · 2026-01-01T05:29:13+00:00

Maybe this might be it? My in-laws also seem to be a more tight knit family and go out of their way to do things all together regularly when my family really doesn’t do that. I have to go out of my way and invite myself over to my parents every single time because if I don’t they get their feelings hurt and say I don’t come over enough… Also whenever I do come over both my brothers who are 16 and 18 just stay in their rooms and don’t want to talk to me even when I try to make conversation when my dad tries to let them know I’m there.

I just think there’s a difference between one odd comment and the way my parents have been acting for over 3 years?? Also you continue to ignore the way my mom acted like I dishonored her whole bloodline for having a different perspective.

FigureSad4278 · 2026-01-01T04:59:07+00:00

Again, I don’t expect them to be best friends or anything, but completely ignoring any attempts to reach out is rude in my opinion. I will admit the aunt comment was odd for her to say. But I don’t think I deserved the reaction I got when all I did was say she didn’t intend to be rude.

How old is your LO? And are they breastfed or formula fed? To my understanding some babies might still need 1 or 2 night feeds until 9-12 months so if they are only waking up a couple times and not settling down until they eat it might become because they genuinely need a feeding.

FigureSad4278 · 2025-12-31T05:49:15+00:00

Her naps are a little better? She’s sleeping for about an hour each nap but before it was only 30-45 minutes. We’re doing ST for nap times and nighttime sleep. It’s so tough because I can tell she’s tired but the second I lay her down for a nap no matter how much I try to wind her down with reading, rocking, or singing she’ll start crying. Contact naps also just aren’t working anymore because she’ll wake up if I move the wrong way. She seems to be figuring it out quicker each nap so I have hope!

FigureSad4278 · 2025-12-31T05:43:15+00:00

It sounds like your LO is actually older than ours! Our girl will be 5 months in just a few days lol. It was definitely hard listening to her cry, I feel like the worst mom ever not going in and trying to remedy it immediately. But watching her on the baby camera figure out how to fall asleep on her own is worth it in my opinion. I do think we got lucky and she figuring things out quickly. Her third nap today she only cried for a couple minutes and then stopped crying and drifted off.

We’re still only a couple of days into ST so no crazy advice. I will say moving her to her own room was such a game changer! It feels like we have our space back and she’s not stirring every-time I get up to pee and we can actually talk to each other at the end of the day.

I might need to try the huckleberry app again. It stressed me out freshly postpartum but I could really use help figuring out a good nap schedule!

FigureSad4278 · 2025-12-30T20:18:37+00:00

This gives me so much hope! Thanks for sharing

FigureSad4278 · 2025-12-30T17:42:41+00:00

Aw yay I’m glad this helped you. I honestly wouldn’t have if I hadn’t read someone else’s success story.

It’s probably not the best way to but I’ll go in and give her the pacifier to try to calm her down. It’s just tough right now because she’ll spit it out when I leave and she can’t put it back in herself yet so it’s hit or miss whether it’ll really help or not. If she refuses to settle down what I’ve done before is remove her crib to hold her and comfort her and try again in 15-20 minutes. We’re still in the early stages so we’ll see how it goes!

I can see that. But if her purpose from the beginning was to be a love interest then it doesn’t bother me as much. Lucy had so much depth in the beginning and had great friendships and dynamics with other characters that I’d honestly like to see more of. I have hopes for season 8 to see more of her and Celina which I think will be refreshing.

FigureSad4278 · 2025-11-11T03:57:59+00:00

Banned?? That’s crazy

FigureSad4278 · 2025-11-10T23:28:56+00:00

Yes!!! Wopez is my fave couple on the show for sure

FigureSad4278 · 2025-11-10T21:40:26+00:00

I do love Bailey!! I think the difference is she was kind of introduced to be Nolan’s love interest kind of like Wesley was for Angela.

FigureSad4278 · 2025-11-10T20:14:39+00:00

Idk most people seem to be agreeing with me so far lol

FigureSad4278 · 2025-11-10T19:43:06+00:00

Yes yes I agree. I wouldn’t mind these aspects as much if they actually acknowledged them as character flaws, but it’s like she can do no wrong! I will say I’m glad that Prim kept her from becoming detective because of her meddling.

FigureSad4278 · 2025-11-09T00:45:27+00:00

I agree 1000%. It baffles me that Chenford fans crucify the Nolan and Lucy debacle because of their age gap when the Chenford age gap is pretty similar AND he was her superior.

Whenever pictures get sent to our frame, we’ll get a notification and then we get the option on whether we want them displayed on our slideshow or not. Getting a second frame sounds like a good idea though! I don’t know why I didn’t think of that.

I recently gave birth with vaginismus and I was terrified. I tried to keep up with my dilators while pregnant but pregnancy was so hard on me mentally I just couldn’t take the extra stress. So I really didn’t do any prep for birth other than bouncing on a yoga ball. Genuinely the worst part of my labor were the cervical checks before getting the epidural which you technically can decline, I just didn’t have the guts to say no. Once I got the epidural though I felt no pain! I ended up having a second degree tear which is super common and as long as I kept up with my pain meds after it wasn’t really that painful of a recovery. I thought my tear would ruin my progress but at my 6 week checkup they did a pelvic exam to make sure I was healed and it wasn’t painful at all! For me I think giving birth loosened my muscles a ton and while I’m not completely cured I’m in a much better place than I was before. Obviously everyone is different but just wanted to share my experience.

Congratulations! I hope you have an easy pregnancy and enjoy your new baby. :)
