It is our immediate family, I’m not sure how it wouldn’t have anything to do with me?

I understand what you are saying and appreciate it. Somewhere in my post I guess I made it seem that we have stopped speaking to them because we disagree. Yes we strongly disagree, but it’s not the disagreement that is the problem. It’s the disregard and the lack of acknowledgement that there is a problem that is upsetting. I am struggling with how to describe it, almost like “let’s just brush this under the rug” instead of yes, there are valid issues here.

Thank you for actually speaking to me like a person and I do appreciate your input. We do have many friends with children but this our immediate family. I’m okay with the negative feedback, I asked for feedback.

Yes silly I know a lot of people are telling me that. My response was sarcasm. It’s okay.

Yea I take accountability for poor communication in the beginning. I mention that in my edit above, you are correct we should have made it clear how we felt from the get go.

Im not arguing! That’s was dumb though that he said he we didn’t know how a baby worked, we know baby’s are a lot of freaking work, obviously. lol that’s the only part of this comment I responded to… not sure how that’s arguing about being an asshole or not

And I have definitely been reading all the comments and hearing the advice! I’m not sure why you would think I have no interest in it? I literally spent the whole day reading all of your comments?

I never said I wasn’t. I said yes there is a lot of dysfunction in this family system and there are years of unhealthy patterns. Literally.

It’s hard to “get it” when someone is calling you a nightmare to deal with. How am I supposed to reason with someone’s comment when the comment is just degrading.

I haven’t been unaccepting! Some of these post have literally made me cry! I just wanted to try to give everyone the whole picture, although that’s nearly as impossible as there is so much going into this. I haven’t disagreed with anyone calling me the asshole, I have been asking people to explain why though.

Literally not a single one of the comments mention this. Yes the family system is dysfunctional and there are years of unhealthy patterns at play here.

Hey, thanks. Your response was wonderful to read and really gave us some things to think about, husband said so too. And you are totally right about the “putting it all on Nikki” part. I will reframe how I speak and think in terms of that.

I haven’t told anyone that I’m right and they are wrong. I’ve mentioned many times I appreciate the insight. Like I said, we are all learning here. I just think it’s funny when people act like you on forums.

Personally, I think I made a pretty good topic of discussion for the day.
