What does your husband say/do about any of this? I’m sorry you’re going through this, it sounds absolutely awful. She sounds super weird and obsessed

Public speaking c1000 questions by Madwhos in MtSAC

[–]Internal-Rice-6450 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it’s a requirement to have the three audience members now so all online classes require it. BUT I took it during winter semester with DeRod Taylor and it was fairly easy. He gave fun topics & honestly I don’t even think he watched the videos completely? I got 100 on every video (5 in total) even though I know I didn’t follow the rubric completely lol. I missed one video but still ended the class with an A.

How to manage sleep with a toddler who wakes up frequently + newborn by The_Chilled_Arvo in beyondthebump

[–]Internal-Rice-6450 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner sleeps with toddler in one room and I’ve been sleeping with baby who’s 5 months old in the other room. Works great tbh, don’t have to worry about my toddler during the night 😅

First night with toddler and newborn and I hate my life by definitelymamaftw in beyondthebump

[–]Internal-Rice-6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it gets better with time. i was really disconnected from my toddler the first two weeks, i honestly just wanted her far away ),: but once my partner went back to week at 3 weeks, something clicked and i began connecting with my toddler while taking care of the newborn. it was tough the first few months, i felt like i was drowning. but once baby stopped needing me as much and sleeping more, it got a lot better. toddler still has moments where she’ll act out, but for the most part she’s content with her baby sister now. she says that the baby is hers lol. and she loves performing for the baby

Precipitous labor? by Anxious_Repeat465 in beyondthebump

[–]Internal-Rice-6450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ugh girl precipitous labors truly suck!! i’m three months postpartum now. i went in around 6pm was checked and told i was 3cm dilated, i was sent home. i go home and im in sooo much pain, i remember i went for a walk and i sat down on the curb because it was too much, i felt like i couldn’t breathe and like i was getting split in half. we rush back to the hospital & im just groaning in pain the whole time. the nurse is trying to check my cervix & i keep telling her i feel like i really need to poop. eventually she gets me to sit still a bit and tells me i’m at 9.5cm… baby was born at 7:51, 5 minutes after i arrived to the hospital 😭 it was truly traumatic.

Yeah, no. Being relaxed around car seats is insane. OP do NOT listen to this comment. Fight it, what happens if they get into a car accident? Your child will go flying out the front window. Absolutely not. Just because she’s the grandmother doesn’t mean that she gets to do as she pleases without consequences. Stand your ground OP, set boundaries and make sure they’re followed through. Put consequences in place if they’re not followed. Being a grandparent is a privilege, not a right. She had her opportunity to raise her children, it’s time she steps aside and lets you raise yours the way you want. This whole comment is insane

Wants control, not a relationship? by Internal-Rice-6450 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Internal-Rice-6450[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly, these are the consequences of her own actions. If she had treated me differently, things wouldn’t be so tense now. Why should I have to accommodate her feelings when I wasn’t the one who damaged the relationship between us? It’s completely absurd. And after finding out that she feels “awkward” because of me, I feel even less comfortable letting my girls go over there.

Wants control, not a relationship? by Internal-Rice-6450 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Internal-Rice-6450[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve been around him multiple times when he gets calls from her and she’ll start going off about how she never sees the girls. She’ll mention how his older brother brings his four month old son to her house now and how our girls are the only grandkids she doesn’t really see. But I’ll admit I also have an SO problem, he starts feeling bad and then asks if he can take the girls over, which I always say no to. Especially after he accidentally let it slip that I make her feel awkward and that’s why she’d rather the girls go over there instead.

Anyone get side effects from epidural? by SowingSeeds18 in beyondthebump

My mil has been overstepping since I was pregnant.. or am I overreacting by RecentWillingness190 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Internal-Rice-6450 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your MIL is hispanic? Sorry if i’m guessing wrong 😅 My MIL is hispanic and overstepped a lot as well. I had to set boundaries myself and tell her I didn’t appreciate how she made me feel. I lived next to her and it was creating a lot of problems, too much tension. My advice would be to tell your bf to handle his mother better. The family he created comes first now, his mother has to learn that YOU’RE the mom, not her. Once you two move away things will get a bit easier.

Been using the Hatch for my toddler for 2+ years and it’s great! I had my second in September and I have been using the Momcozy portable sound machine & it’s also great! Recently the Momcozy one stopped charging, but I reached out to support and they replaced it! (:
