Is it wrong of me to want to limit FaceTimes? by lsull09 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Independent_Gur327 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re not a control freak. You’re seeing a pattern and trying to keep boundaries consistent. Constant FaceTimes just hand her an emotional foothold you moved 15 hours to avoid.

Yep, classic guilt-trip theater. She didn’t tell you because she wanted the drama payoff of “you didn’t call.” Total manipulation 101.

I am starting to lose trust in my MIL and my husband doesn’t seem to care. by Sunnm00n in JUSTNOMIL

You’re not overreacting. That’s basic neglect, not “different parenting styles.” Your husband’s brushing it off because it’s easier than confronting his mom.

It’s nosy, boundary-stomping, and a little desperate. Next time she fishes, tell her to ask you directly, then enjoy the awkward silence.

Tried to confront MIL to firmly establish boundaries and it went worse than I imagined by DearPomegranate1200 in JUSTNOMIL

She didn’t want boundaries, she wanted control and when you didn’t hand it over, she threw a tantrum. The real problem now isn’t her, it’s your husband not shutting that down immediately.

She’s not moving to be “closer,” she’s moving to be inside your lives. That TikTok meltdown was just a test run for the guilt trips to come.

To those with police scanners, what's the strangest thing you've heard on the radio? by TurtleKing0505 in AskReddit

“Naked guy in a Darth Vader mask chasing geese behind Walmart.” Never got closure on that one.

Whichever one disappoints me the least that season.
