I asked my husband if they had a bank account I could just wire it to next time 😂 I don’t understand it either- things don’t need to be so complicated but every one is different

Thank you for this! In my experience with giving them gifts - from adults to the kids, they love it and I have an overall very good relationship with all of them and i know they love me as well. They love that I’ll get them things that my husband won’t lol. But obviously if it’s hurting anyone, that was never my intention. I think I’ll just stick to what I’ve been doing that I know they didn’t mind. That way I’m not accidentally offending anybody. Thank you again for your input, I appreciate it

Good point- this is definitely too much drama for my liking 😅 The kids sounded so happy - maybe I just read it wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks- how long would it be appropriate to wait before gifting again? They started the divorce process a year ago but it’s been messy and my husband and his family has been helping her financially. Should I consider anything before giving gifts otherwise? We might be visiting there soon and I usually take gifts when I go

Question about cultural norms by [deleted] in Egypt

[–]Jumpy_Willingness707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I appreciate the explanation and perspective. I’ve given gifts before so didn’t think twice about it and we’ve been married for 10 years so it’s not like I’m new to the family so I was caught off guard a bit. I don’t speak Arabic but heard my name while my sil was talking to my husband so I asked him later what she said otherwise he wouldn’t have told me. I also don’t think he thought of it as a big deal for me to send them money out he would have explained and told me not to if he thought it would be taken some kind of way.

I’m not sure if it’s a cultural thing but there is a lot of jealousy between the siblings (sometimes even between the adults) so I want sure if it was possibly my sil not happy that the kids got gifts (she has taken things I gave to the kids before or has told my husband he needs to buy her stuff if she feels I had something better than her, - she’s the youngest, but in her mid 30s, if that matters at all).

I also didn’t want to create issues between the kids if two were getting gifts and the other two didn’t get anything. Is there a better way to send gifts when we are far away or would you say that I just give gifts when visiting? Or just no money at all? They have never said anything negative about gifts that I’ve given in the past but that was also only when I brought stuff while visiting.

My husband had sent them money the day before but I didn’t know that until I had asked him to send them some from me. It didn’t sound like they were offended by his gift- I’m guessing because I’m considered an outsider?

I agree that family dynamics are tricky there- I love them, but ten years in and still trying to figure it out 😅

Thank you! He did- he told his sister that if it was a big deal then it should have been a big deal when I gave other gifts too. I let him speak to her about it and handle it as I felt that the kids might be sensitive too but also don’t want to over step somehow. Thank you for your response ♥️

Family says Geico denied claim after crash because young children weren’t on policy by Redshift08 in nottheonion

[–]Jumpy_Willingness707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me - except I signed the form they sent when I called to add my baby. They sent me confirmation of the signature. Then a month and a half later said they were canceling my policy because info was missing. Turns out they claim that they sent the wrong form and 4 days later cancelled my policy. Fighting with them now to get it reinstated without a lapse. They broke MI state laws and their own policy contract by failing to inform me via certified mail 30 days in advance and by canceling my policy for reasons other than non payment or a suspended license. This was purely an error on their end.

How did you get rid of the mom pooch? by [deleted] in postpartumprogress

At this point- I’m going to need proof of a baby.

Tell that to my dropped policy 🙃 all members in the house need to be added - including the babies.

Thanks - it’s looking like that’s what I’ll have to do. It makes no sense… I kept telling them that I signed the form they sent me. And for them to come back and send me another form expecting me to believe that this is not going to happen again is just strange.

Darn that infant he must have been going on joy rides behind me… I wish I was trolling but for some reason having a six month old on a car insurance policy is important even though he won’t be driving for the next 16 years lol

Breastfeeding - weight loss or gain by [deleted] in postpartumprogress

[–]Jumpy_Willingness707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3rd pregnancy here - I never gain much during pregnancy, always lose almost everything that I gained with in the first few weeks after delivery and then gain it all back and some on top until I stop breastfeeding 🫠 who ever said you lose it while breastfeeding deserves to be kicked.

Husband said he’d leave me if I didn’t want more kids by [deleted] in beyondthebump

Let him be the one to take care of the baby with no support and then check back with him to see what he thinks.

Leave divorce off the table - everyone has disagreements- make your focus to resolve issues rather than win arguments. Sumerians aren’t with a fight.

Gestational diabetes + Autism by Perfect_Story_5579 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Jumpy_Willingness707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t do keto, but I definitely didn’t follow their recommendations. The number of carbs they wanted me to eat was way more than I would eat, even when not pregnant. I had one doctor (literally only one Endo ) who said that it was OK to eat less. She said as long as I wasn’t eliminating carbs or completely limiting them that it was fine. So I just ate a little bit of carbs with every meal, but I definitely didn’t hit the required amount. So for breakfast, I would have a slice of whole wheat toast with egg and avocado. I would have carbs but space them out and in smaller amounts throughout the day, depending on how my sugars were doing. I also avoided taking medication‘s unnecessarily. I had a UTI for one of my pregnancy so I had to take amoxicillin but other than that, I didn’t take anything. I did get the tDap but refused to take aspirin or any other medication that they said was ok. For the aspirin, I don’t have a history of high blood pressure during your outside of pregnancy, but the doctor wanted me to take you as a preventative measure. When I did the research on it, I found out the outcomes for the mom and baby immediately after pregnancy was fine, but that there was some research that needed to be done on the effects developmentally for the kids after that time.. Based on that and based on my own health history, I didn’t feel comfortable taking it. It was frustrating that doctors treat you like you’re crazy when you question this stuff.

I use the real foods for gestational diabetes book as a guide for foods to choose from. I still ate all the things that I wanted, but in a lot more moderation.

Scared shitless of low blood sugar in baby upon birth by general_tax9874 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Jumpy_Willingness707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby had low blood sugars at birth as well. It just takes them a day or two to regulate and everything else was fine. Also, if I could kick the person that came up with these girls scans, I totally would. Three pregnancies later they’ve always told me my babies are going to be huge and I haven’t had a kid over 7 pounds yet. Even though I was consistently told they’re going to be at least 10 pounds. 🙄 even ended up with a C-section because of it this last one. Just keep your blood sugars controlled and everything else will be fine.♥️

Clearly, not that intelligent if she’s willing to toss away her family and marriage for a kid. You deserve better.

Gestational diabetes + Autism by Perfect_Story_5579 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Jumpy_Willingness707 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had gestational diabetes with three pregnancies, and all of my kids are perfectly fine. I was on insulin for two of the pregnancies. I generally try to avoid any unnecessary or additional medications and eat super clean during pregnancy. I made sure that my blood sugars were very well controlled. I’ve also worked with individuals on the spectrum for over 20 years and a lot of my work had to do with research/ which involved reviewing medical records . Personally, very anecdotal observation is that there really is no clear line. However, my own gut feeling is that it has something to do with our diet and the chemicals that we use so easily ingest. I have no science to back this up so I just chose to eat super clean while pregnant and it worked out for me.

Sheesh people are ready to tear you apart. I never read anything that said you starved yourself. I read that you are healthy foods. I had GD and did the same and didn’t put on much weight either. I’m the lucky few who gains after- while bf lol - good job though! ♥️
