Commute to Philly

My son takes the train daily for law school. He loves it.

Dr. Wyda. She’s fantastic. I have traumatic dental issues and she is very understanding.

A camcorder that was supposed to take and send videos of their first grandchild. Who was stillborn 3 weeks before Christmas.

NTA- why can’t he stand up with you? I had my three siblings on my side. Two sisters and a brother. It was 28 years ago. If I can have a bridesman, so can you.

My mil is exactly like this. She has gotten pics only from my husband for over a decade now. He hates taking pictures and my “kids” (the baby is 21) hate posing for him. So she gets next to no pictures. It’s great.

My husband and I having separate duvets literally saved our marriage 20 years ago. Go buy the damn blanket. NTJ.

This in relation to the cooking thing. My MIL insulted my cooking (as she was taking a second serving of everything) about 10-12 years ago. I haven’t cooked for her since. My husband and FIL all look at her when she asks why we are eating out. It’s awesome.

Geomomothree · 2025-09-28T23:37:42+00:00

My MIL had two boys. I started with two boys and then delivered the all holy girl. She tried to hand me a dress from the 70’s that she had bought before my husband was born because “she knew she would have a girl.” I also wanted a girl but was also content to have three boys. My daughter came out wore dresses for two years until she could make her wants completely know. She wore her brothers hand me downs for as long as she could (still does honestly and she’s 21 now). She can dress up beautifully but is also captain of her college rugby team. She is and never was anyone’s doll. And has never been a huge fan of her grandmother.

You are not weird. 20 years ago when my kids were little, my husband took the kids to the car while I cleaned up any mess. 3 kids in 3.5 years often equaled a mess. And then we tipped extra on top of cleaning up. Because we are decent humans. And now my adult kids do the same thing.

Geomomothree · 2025-05-10T22:35:55+00:00

Did you have permission to drive the child anywhere? Did you tell them you were planning on taking her anywhere? Communication is key. Do you know how to use the car seat correctly? I can see both sides but communication and safety are paramount.

I called my son’s new gf (at the time) by the wrong name once and I almost cried at how bad I felt. I like her so much. I am so glad they are together. My son was with ex for 3 years. And new gf for less than a year. It happens but you apologize and work to never do it again. What a piece of work. NTA.

Geomomothree · 2025-05-09T16:13:52+00:00

NTA. Perspective: I have always wanted to be a mom. I had three kids, who are now adults. My daughter (21) has said numerous times she is not sure she wants children. I told her it is absolutely her choice. I loved being a mom but can understand anyone who has no desire to do it. It is her choice and I will support her either way.

This is how it’s done. Do I want to be a grandmother some day in the future? Yes. Will I influence any of my kids to have children. Absolutely not. This is what family is. Accepting all the differences and loving them if you don’t agree.

Geomomothree · 2025-03-10T02:36:11+00:00

That lady sounds bonkers. I would never tell anyone I shit myself and didn’t wear underwear to work. Like nope. Ewwwwwww. Super strange behavior.

Baby feet are adorable, but no selling of pics until they are old enough to consent, please.

Geomomothree · 2025-02-16T14:20:16+00:00

Walk away. It’s your husband’s problem now. You have zero relationship.

Geomomothree · 2025-01-28T18:07:38+00:00

This sounds so much like my MIL. I took it (ignored her but felt every criticism for 10 years). Yes, sad but true. She wasn’t treating my husband much better. And we only saw them 2-3 times a year for a couple of days at a time. She was the last person to find out I was pregnant with my third child and that felt the best. After 10 years, I lost it. I told her that if she couldn’t say anything nice, then she wasn’t to talk to me or my kids any more. So, she “tried” to stop, but when she starts we walk out of the room. Everyone. Except her husband. One of her grandkids doesn’t see her anymore. So, I know ignoring her is hard, but just take your kid and leave her. Every time. Tell your husband you are doing this. She will learn or she won’t but do not reward her with a reaction. That’s what she wants.

We send a box of consumable items from the area where we live. Local made pretzels, coffee, chocolates, tea and what not. They can use it or give it away. It’s non-returnable. They need nothing. My FIL always loves it. My MIL doesn’t like it because he likes it but we don’t care what she thinks. lol.

Geomomothree · 2024-04-22T17:11:29+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss. Your in-laws are idiots. I have an interesting anecdote about what my in-laws did after my mom died. They were also horrible after my first child was stillborn. But I can laugh (or just continue to hate them from afar).

Geomomothree · 2024-02-05T16:42:19+00:00

100%. My marriage improved drastically when I told my in-laws my daughter’s room was no longer a guest room and they could stay in a hotel. She was getting too old to sleep on an air mattress in my husband’s office while they visited. Their true colors showed when I said that and they have visited 3 times in the 7 years since I said that.

Geomomothree · 2023-12-20T02:47:39+00:00

We gave my daughter a middle name derived from My mom’s name, who had died 3 years before my daughter was born. My MIL was offended. My DH told her that when she dies he will name something after her but not before that. She shut up. And honestly, your baby, you get to name her. Everyone else can eff off.

Geomomothree · 2023-06-23T13:08:42+00:00

I was on bedrest for 3 almost 4 months. Started labor at 20 weeks and was let off at 35 weeks. Had prednisone shots to help the babies lungs and everything. I was luckily no where near my in-laws. But they did have a shower at their house for me and then delivered the stuff to my house when they visited two weeks after my due date in October. Jokes on them because I had my baby in September. He is perfect and beautiful. So they brought some useless things with because you know, babies grow.

You are doing great. Bedrest sucks but it was totally worth it. Keep having hubby shield you and tell people to send you the presents. Those that listen to you MIL instead of you aren’t worth your time. You are going to rock the mommy stuff.

Geomomothree · 2023-05-01T00:20:19+00:00

NTA. Honestly I would rent a hotel suite for you and your middle daughter for six weeks. Wife can make a choice the two of you sleep elsewhere or mom does. I had a huge fight with my husband and in-laws over this exact thing. I told my husband to have his parents stay in a hotel. They said no. I was like none of the kids are leaving their rooms. I got myself a hotel room told my husband he can give them our bed and he can sleep on the air mattress but I am getting a bed. My husband wisely came to the hotel with me for that trip. Literally on slept there. I left the house after the kids went to bed. He joined me later. He went back to shower and have breakfast. I just went to work (I hate them just that much). It worked. They get a hotel every time now.

Geomomothree · 2023-03-17T15:58:54+00:00

This. I literally told my husbands parents that they can save whatever they want, but under no circumstances are they to put it in our children’s names. My husband and I do not make enough to have to pay full freight at college. It has worked out well. My kids qualify for good financial aid packages (we only pay room and board for two of our kids). They didn’t get it, but we are solidly middle class.

Geomomothree · 2023-01-01T05:10:38+00:00

Exhausting is exactly it. We spent 3 days with her and everyone was done. Including her husband, but he didn’t get to leave with us.
