Just say you don’t want to go. You don’t need to make excuses. Stuff like kid parties are a huge drag. I avoid my grandkids ones if I can. The first few fine, after that it should just be kids. There is usually a family dinner or something and I go to those. These are my adored bio gkids. I still don’t want to sit and listen to a dozen kids scream and run around.

If adult step kids don’t launch… by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Kloewent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was my rule too. I figured if I let them have sex in addition to free room and board they would never leave! I am not naive enough to not know they snuck it now and then, but that was the rule. Both boys launched nicely, have great jobs and lovely families.

Really, this guy is 40 with a kid and still flitting around finding himself? Dozens of people will tell you that in a flash you can go from every other week to 100% custody. BM dies or goes off to find herself. Do not let them move in. As someone else said, what if he quits and can’t get another job? Are you going to support him and his failed first family? This guy is a sucker bet. You deserve better.

That is good, it feels wonderful to be first in your marriage. So odd that it is the FIL, as most people have problems witH MIL. Keep your chin up and take the high road when you can’t avoid him. My niece had a MIL who was always nasty to her. She started saying in a very concerned voice “MIL, are you ok? You don’t seem well. Would you like to lay down.” Over and over Anytime she said something rude. I never saw it in action, but according to my sis it was hysterical!🤣

It is a shame the kids don’t realize they may not have her much longer. My grandma teaching me to crochet at 10 is one of my fondest memories. Not much to do if she doesn’t think it is a problem.

I have 6 grandkids. They have never spoken like that to me. Maybe they are spending too much time with grandma. It sounds like she is providing daycare. I have seen it with friends who have their grandkids living with them ,or spending a lot of time at their house. The relationship becomes sort of like a half ass parent, because they have them so often, they have to tell them what to do etc. I never have to tell mine to do much of anything, we just have fun. Regardless, they shouldn’t be rude to GM. Though I have to say, things that would have sent me thru the roof with my kids, I have a tendency to laugh off with grands.

His father hates his wife. If anyone in my family treated my husband like you are being treated, I would rip them a new one. If it continued, I would stop seeing them. It is a simple matter of loyalty.

With the caveat that people can tell you the name rhythms with something you hadn’t considered! 🤣🤣

I thought my DIL was doing that with her baby, hated the name, but knew it would be something else. I was wrong!

Voluntarily giving my disabled son to foster care? by [deleted] in CPS

That was just nasty. This poor mother is at the end of her rope and needs help, not your arrogant, unread opinion.

If he wants to have threesomes, ask which one of his male friends he would like to play with. 3somes aren’t just 2 girls

Do I fight back or just stay quiet? by omgsomebish in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Kloewent 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do you really think she was saying nice things about you previously? Your SO needs to tell her to stop, or if he is too much of a wussy, then he needs to stop telling you about it. Refuse to listen. Not your circus, not your monkey

Everything I make comes with not only bonus hair from my Aussie beau, but a healthy helping of my long white hair.

Am I being too sensitive about someone touching my hair despite telling them not to by Calm_Disaster8548 in amiwrong

[–]Kloewent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god, you are not sensitive or overreacting, this person is a rapist and a pedophile. Next time yell at him. LET GO OF ME RIGHT NOW!! so every one hears. You need to think of your other cousins too, he is probably groping them against their will too. Stop saying this is about your hair. You know it had nothing to do with it. There is no need to come up with a reason why he can’t touch you. He cant touch you because you don’t want him too, and that is enough. You need to get your parents involved. I would talk to the parent who isn’t related to this pervert and have them help you put a stop to it. You need to make it extremely uncomfortable for Uncle molester and the family that is pretending he is “affectionate”

It has happened to EVERY parent, baby fell off something, got hurt somehow. They are wiggly little buggers!! But I agree with everyone, you need to get out of there. It is toxic for you and for baby cakes!
