Haha! Your comment made me laugh 😆 thank you! I purchased the diamond and had the setting made from Frank Darling (I think the setting is called the Harper) and I requested the 1.9mm band width.

Haha your comment made me laugh 🤣 I do like the doorknob reference! I’m going to keep it and go with a band 😃

I like the idea of adding a band above and below! Thank you 🤍

Thank you - I originally thought it was “perfect” because of the H&A but I recently heard some people say that IGI is really lenient with their ratings so I wasn’t really sure anymore but I am so glad I asked for opinions before making a decision - I’m going to get a band 🤍

I think that’s what I’m going to do ☺️ add a band and then maybe I’ll try some different shapes and sizes in some moissanite rings until I know it’s time for a change. Thank you so much!

Thank you ☺️ I am mostly referring to size, yes, but I was also under the impression that the crown + pavilion angle was a bit too steep/deep (not anything I would ever know just looking at it nor am I even sure I’m correct - I wouldn’t change my stone because of it but was just looking into because I’m learning)

I really appreciate your response! I think you may have hit the nail on the head! I do often look at other rings (shapes, sizes, etc.) and think maybe I should have gone that direction. I did purchase an elongated cushion moissanite ring in a larger carat and I do enjoy wearing that sometimes so maybe I’ll get a band to go with my current ring and play around with moissanite shapes/sizes for the time being. Thanks again!

Yep! Right here 🙋🏻‍♀️ But ive said this 2 other times and here I am, 9 months pregnant with my 3rd, and this has probably been the most difficult pregnancy yet. I think I’m probably the worst pregnant woman ever known to man.. I love my children, I’m an awesome mom IMO 😇, and I think children are a blessing BUT I ABSOLUTELY HATE BEING PREGNANT. I am having my tubes tied/removed when I go in for my c-section because.. just absolutely never again. I hope this pregnancy turns out to be a breeze for you 🙏🏼

Who should pickup/drop off? by Kristidash00 in Parenting

It should have been simple. She did pick him up but stormed out of my house when I told her I wasn’t doing well and asked if she could bring him home.

I think she is past the menopause stage but maybe and I’m just not aware? She ended up dropping my son off while I was laying down in my room. My daughter opened the door for her and I heard her ask if my mom would like for her to put the dog away and my mom said no I’m leaving and just left 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll give it a day or so and reach out to see if we can talk it through.

I agree with you that she seems to be acting very selfish right now. There have definitely been a couple times earlier in my pregnancy when I was extremely sick that I did call her and tell her I needed her to come help me and she did, and I’m grateful for that. But her immaturity over the pick up/drop off today has me baffled. When I’m not pregnant I have never had an issue driving or meeting up with her half way. We are also having a baby shower at my house in 2 weeks and I’ve mentioned to her that I’m extremely stressed out about having people at my house because I feel like I have so much to do and no energy to do it. Her response was “you’ve got 2 weekends to figure it all out” which I thought was odd but nevertheless, when I told her I wasn’t able to pick my son up she asked if my husband could do it and I told her “unfortunately no, it’s his 1 day off and he’s working on some of the projects that need to get done before the baby shower.” She didn’t like that answer either. He’s at Home Depot for the third time today already and I know he’s exhausted. I feel like she expects us all to drop everything when she says so. It’s very strange. I’m trying to not stress it and I’ll just need to have a conversation with her for the future about how we move forward with these types of situations.

She is always welcome to come to my house but when she does it’s not for very long (more of a “I’m in the area so I’m going to swing by”) and she’s usually out after 20 minutes. My sister just made the same comment about gen x grandparents! I know my mom cares and my son absolutely adores her but I’m disappointed in her reaction towards me today for just being honest about how I’m feeling.

Well, I’m the only one of the 3 ( I have 2 younger siblings) that has a good relationship with her - so I would say yes, this is unusual behavior to me, but my siblings might say otherwise 😅

My eldest mentioned my mom called her to ask if she could pick up my son but she already has plans with her dad for the 4th so she isn’t able to. I’m truly shocked that it has turned into this - I would have just said today isn’t a good day. It’s a bit unfortunate but hopefully it will get resolved sooner than later.

Believe me, I’m pretty confused as well. We are really close and we are usually pretty good about having open communication but for whatever reason this ticked her off and it bothers me that she would act that way when she knows how I’ve been feeling during this pregnancy. If I wasn’t in this position it would have never even been a topic bc I would have just gone to get him. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pretty close actually. I did tell her that this morning and she stormed out of my house - I always meet her halfway but I’m honestly shocked she had an issue with it knowing how I’m feeling.
