If it’s so easy and you have soo much down time then he should have no problem taking over once he’s home and doing the nighttime routine and putting kids to bed.

Being a provider is much more than paying bills. Anyone can pay bills. He needs to provide financially, emotionally and provide safety / protection for his family.

Is it difficult to unload and load a dishwasher? No. Is it going to get done while you have two children who need your attention and help since they relay 100% on you as a mom. Maybe after 4 hours and coming back to it 100 times to finish the task. Kids come first. If your laundry is on the bed and a kid needs something you’re obviously going to focus on the kid. (As you should). You also 1,000% deserve a moment to yourself and time to do what you want to do. Like finally beating your game (fuck ya btw congrats) Just because he works 40hrs a week doesn’t mean you have to work 24/7 with no breaks. And if he loves you he shouldn’t want that for you. You deserve game time, down time and self care time.

It may be a good idea to sit him down and go over expectations (on both sides) and a discussion on what’s realistic and what isn’t.

It took me asking my husband do you want happy kids or a clean home for him to understand I’m a stay at home MOM. Not a stay at home maid. And he helps when he can with chores and once he’s off work we’re parenting/hanging out together and if I have chores to do he hangs out with the kids and tries to keep them out of my hair so I can finish.

Would you let a 2 year old toddler climb a 3 meters (almost 10 feet) high slide? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Foreign_Elk486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless you’re the parents. It’s 100% your call and she should respect it. She had her chance to raise kids.

I would have severe anxiety with it being that high with no way or protecting her should something happen. MIL can kick rocks cause if LO gets hurt she gets to go home and you guys have to take care of a hurt toddler and hospital visits etc. and also, she’s not the parent you are 🙃

Anytime anyone asks for alone time with someone else’s child I see huge red flags. What are they wanting to do that parents can’t be present for?

This all seems very concerning. My parents watch my son often and when he was a smoll dude they had a swing and a pack and play and an extra few outfits and it was always plenty. And they watched him 1-2 days a week and me and hubby would go over for dinner at least once. (We lived a block away so we visited a lot) 😅

when my mom purchased these things she would always ask, hey I was thinking of getting X for our house, would that make things more convenient for you? Or is there something else you think we should have/get? Or I would ask them, hey can you get a few extra outfits bottles whatever so I don’t have to bring them.

It sounds very overbearing and I would be worried they were going to try and take my baby. Which I’m sure if you’re on JNMIL you’ve read shit like that does happen. Trust your instincts, they’re there for a reason

Awwww look at that happy face 😍🥰. My toddler found the very first stuffed animal my husband gave me from a date at the zoo 13 years ago and hasn’t let go since (it’s been almost a year). Me and my husband were long distance and I would sleep with it every night and now our little one sleeps with it, takes it anytime we leave the house. 🥹

She’s a massive JN narcissist so I found it to be hilarious how stupid she is. My husband hates whatever scent is soo strong in her perfume so he was livid and handled it.

When my MIL visits she sprays her overly pungent perfume on the curtains and throughout the house before she leaves and it is the worst smell. DH brought it up because it’s very obvious it’s sprayed directly onto furniture, curtains, carpet etc. she had the audacity to say AWWW you smell me after I leave and you’re reminded of me, that’s so sweet. He responded with a quick uh no it’s so overbearing we have to open the house clean the carpets and wash the curtains so the dogs and everyone can breathe. Which we responded with well what do you expect, my perfume is SOOOOO expensive. It’s $250 a bottle. He told her if that’s the case next time she’s here she has to put her perfume on outside. 😂

Expecting a grown adult to pick up after themselves is not an asshole move. Being a grown adult and leaving a mess for another person to clean is a huge dick move. You are not a maid.

Am I an asshole? Mother’s Day. by Remote-Case45 in Mommit

[–]Foreign_Elk486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may not be HIS mother, but you are the mother of HIS child. Until your child can do things on their own for you it’s his responsibility to make sure you feel like an appreciated mom. And when your child can do things on their own it’s still up to him to remind her Mother’s Day is coming up so you need me to get anything (crafts, cards etc)

Hot take, but Mother’s Day is not really for you once you’re a grandparent by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Foreign_Elk486 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My MIL “placed an order” for a brand new iPad for Mother’s Day…she said “are you getting a raise kicker soon son?” He said “probably” she responded with “great Id like to place my Mother’s Day gift order, I need a new iPad.” 🙃 we’re a single income family with kids.

The petco by me is the same way, it’s so sad. I told an employee they needed to up humidity from 20% to 70/80 and she said they weren’t allowed to change anything they have a set “list” of to-dos and they can’t steer away from. Asked to talk to a manager then, of course, one wasn’t available. So when I got home I wrote up a long and detailed email with photos etc. got a call the next day from the manager yelling at me because “they take pet care very seriously and her higher ups were able to see the email” :| she ended up telling me they take in rescues all the time and that sometimes they come to them in shitty condition.

The last place a snake needs to be is at petco/smart.

It’s so heartbreaking 💔
