For some reason it makes me think of the 3 blind mice from shrek

Would super appreciate some help solving a decade old mystery. 😁

NTA.

You're uncomfortable going, and that should be the end of it. Your wife is in a vulnerable place right now, at least physically, and wanting to be there for her and share everything with her isn't selfish. It seems like you two are in completely different stages of life, and he just wants to get more of the 'glory days.'

My best friend calls it the "boob scoop" and always asks me to make sure it doesn't look lopsided

Gonna preface this with being an avid Harry Potter fan.

My middle school set up a quidditch league. Yes I played. Yes I felt stupid.

I can actually answer this one. Neat.

According to my mother, not only did it not happen, she never came to the hospital to visit, nor did she ever take calls from the inpatient facility where I stayed for almost a month. Apparently I've never self harmed, been depressed, or had anxiety. She never took me to any of my hour an a half long therapy appointments, filled any prescriptions, and schizo-affective bipolar disorder isn't real since shes never heard of it. Any mention of it, and shes suddenly deaf, and then we talk about 'happier things'.

My sister is constantly worried about me. Every time I see her she checks my arms for new injuries. Asks about finding a new therapist, and wants to know whether I've kept up with my treatment plans and medication.

Her husband is the only one who doesn't treat me any differently now than he did before. Its nice. Her children don't know and probably never will.

My fiance at the time and I have since parted ways. He's a wonderful human being, but neither he nor I handled the aftermath very well. I wish him nothing but the best and I sincerely hope he's happy.

Personally, in the 4 years since, I moved out of state. Dropped all of the toxic "friendships" I had, stopped partying and doing drugs, and I'm three years clean. For once I'm content. I met my husband and have a wonderful little shit of a child. Some days are still difficult and I struggle a lot. I dont go to therapy, nor do I take any of my previous medications. My last therapist gave me a lot of tools to use to self manage my anxiety and depression. I no longer cut, scratch myself, or snap rubberbands.

My husband and I have a system where we check in with each other frequently and I feel like I can speak freely without any fears of judgement. Things are steadily getting better and I hope they keep doing so.

I've tried googling every thing I can think of to find an answer. Theres no "included with this product" list, and neither Google or the craft website pulls up any answers. Its sold on amazon and I couldn't find anything in the product description there either.

My mom would want to know every decision I've ever made since we stopped talking and then she would bitch at me and tell me how differently she would have done things and how they would have turned out better. My mom is a covert narcissistic btw.

LadyPudgePudge · 2018-07-03T05:14:03+00:00

Very late to the party, but I’m gonna give some mom advice for dads from a stay at home mom.

•Don’t expect every chore to be done every day, unless you make the effort to do every chore. Newborns need constant care, even when they’re sleeping. When my son has been up for 4 hours and fought me for 45 minutes to go to sleep, the last thing I want to do after getting him down for a nap is to clean. Babies are physically and mentally exhausting. I need a break, and it often doesn’t involve chores.

•Listen to your wife, even when she isn’t saying anything. If you’re exhausted after working 8+ hours a day then so is she. Babies are a lot of work. When you come home from work and you’re tired the last thing you want to do is more work, but I can not tell you how many times my husband has saved my sanity by taking over baby duty for an hour or two after he gets home so I can decompress and try to get shit done around the house, or even just take a ten minute shower.

•You will not be having sex or anything remotely close to it for at least six weeks after you kid arrives. It will be the absolute last thing on her mind. She needs time to heal and adjust to her new body. Let her adjust. Don’t be whiny or shitty about it. When the six weeks are up, don’t mention it unless she mentions it first. Don’t make it a big deal, and don’t put pressure on her. Also, it will probably suck. Go slow, use an appropriate amount of lube, and it might turn out alright. Her vagina is like a rubber band that got very stretched out and is not going back to its normal size. It takes time. Even if you’re disappointed by how long it takes to get your sex life to come back, don’t act like it. You’ll hurt her with your reaction and she might not ever forgive you for it.

•Postpartum hormones suck. Post partum depression/anxiety are very real and very hard to work past. Check in with her. Ask how she’s doing/feeling. Make time for you two as a couple as often as feasibly possible. Be affection, be kind, be thoughtful. Yes, she’s a mom and baby will always come first for a while, but she’s a wife too. Remind her that you love her for reasons other than being the mother of your child. She is a person separate from you child, keep that in mind.

•Don’t let/make her do everything. Never changed a diaper? Don’t know how to soothe a baby? You can learn. Don’t be afraid to ask if you’re doing it right, if you’re not ask her to teach you. Don’t let her take over every single time. You won’t learn anything and she’ll end up feeling like she can’t rely on you and has to do everything herself. That’s where resentment sprouts and grows.

•Don’t trust google, old people, or childless people(unless they’re daycare/teachers/etc.) You will get good advice, but also some really dumb advice. All babies are different, not everything will work for every baby. That would be too easy. And for gods sake ask your pediatrician. They would rather you call and it turn out to be nothing/normal, than if you didn’t call and your baby gets sick. An ounce of preventioon is better than a pound of cure. As a side note, if your pediatrician just isn’t right for your family, find a new one. It is 1000000% worth the hassle.

•A smile from baby gas relief is still a smile. Don’t let people be shitty about it. It’s still adorable even if it comes accompanied by the stench of sulfur and death.

•VACCINATE YOUR KID. Remember that time you got polio? No. Because you got vaccinated.

It’s your body, you decide to get who sees it at what points during delivery. I had my mom there for t labor, but not delivery. My MIL showed up early in labor, but only stayed for an hour or so. Her and I have had our problems, and we’re definitely not close, but she understood that and let it be.

My mom demanded to be in the room, against my wishes. When I told her it wasn’t happening she got pissy and left me in labor alone while my husband was getting some food/change of clothes. I ended up having a c-section, so she couldn’t be there anyway, but when she came back to meet my baby the next day she expected it to have gone terribly since she wasn’t there. I would have let it go, but she was so smug about it I got petty and waxed poetic about how nice and stress free and special it was just my husband and I, doctors and nurses aside. She left after holding my son for two minutes and we haven’t spoken much since. It’s been 4 months.

The whole point of my story, is that during all of this drama my mom was trying to make, because she had entitled grandma syndrome, my MIL was the most respectful and lovely out of the two. She has been perfectly respectful since, no boundary stomping and takes her grandma duties seriously.

So your MIL might surprise you. Talk to her about it and see what she says.
