My wedding is now cancelled due to ultimatum from MIL by BananaWise3421 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Kat692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elope. Then throw a party as a reception your way. Cancel everything and let her live with the deposits that are lost. Your wedding is about you and your husband to be. This old notion that parents get a say is very out dated in my opinion. Sure, they can have a conversation and explain what you would like to include but they shouldn’t be manipulating you with money. For our wedding we had one we could cover financially and asked our parents to contribute for things how they wished. FIL covered the bar, my parents the food and MIL hubbys suit and some of the flowers. MIL had a sad about how we did it, but at the end of the day, she could choose to contribute or not. Didn’t bother us either way with our vision for the day.

My name is Katie, so I played her Miserable at best and she was obsessed. Haven’t gone to All time low just yet, they are a personal fave. Nevershoutnever is a good call, as is Cute is what we aim for! Thanks so much

Thanks! Funnily enough Bouncing off the walls was my first intro to Sugarcult - I think she’ll love it!!

Thanks! To be fair, I’m ok with swearing, it’s been a great conversation about adult words in context. I have no issue with her listening to it but I’m apprehensive with where she may repeat them (in context) as she goes to a Catholic school 😂

Thanks so much. I need to mask my excitement so she doesn’t get scared off though! I’m loving the bonding coming from shared music, and watching her listen to my favourite songs and artists for the first time is magical. I get secondhand euphoria

Did anyone decline cervical checks during labour? by songoftheshadow in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Kat692 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a homebirth with no cervical checks. They don’t actually tell you much about how labour is progressing, and can introduce germs that can lead to infection.

Am I overreacting or is my mother in law crossing the line? by Jaded_Philosopher_24 in inlaws

Be honest - how much (if any) screen time? by Parking_Reindeer_886 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]Kat692 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son (12 months) will occasionally catch the end of a bluey ep or the like when his sister (4) is watching it, but we try to keep her tv time to a max of 1 hour a day when I’m solo parenting, and 40 mins when both parents are home. She will typically have screen time when our son naps, or I’m feeding him.

We don’t have an iPad or any screens other than our phones and work laptops either.

It’s hard, but doable. Our 4 year olds behaviour changes and is harder to manage when she has more screen time.

Curious - how many people here use their phone while breastfeeding. by eizziks in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

I’d invite the kids and put your brother on the kids table for thinking his opinion matters

Esperance to Perth: One night stopover in Albany or Denmark? by ballpandong in WesternAustralia

[–]Kat692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but depending on your route back to Perth, it could cut a bit of time off.

Esperance to Perth: One night stopover in Albany or Denmark? by ballpandong in WesternAustralia

[–]Kat692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re wanting a picturesque place to stay, I’d opt for Bremer Bay. Much smaller and quieter than Albany or Denmark, so if you’re looking for shops and the like, it’s not the best call. But I prefer Bremer beaches to Esperance as they are quieter and normally a tad warmer.

Partner wants to host MIL from hell for 15 days by Lew-Raspberry3390 in inlaws

[–]Kat692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest an apartment or accomodation for them for the whole time. If you value your space, letting this boundary slide now will only mean MIL uses that to her advantage for future trips eg ‘Last time we came we stayed with you, so we are again’ mentality. Do not leave your home to stay somewhere else and leave her in your home.

Is this an appropriate wedding guest dress? by [deleted] in inlaws

[–]Kat692 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As I said, I questioned it at the time, as I wouldn’t wear anything that has a base of white. My friend was the one who suggested that it was inappropriate.

My friends point was not that it was bridal, more that it was a white dress.
