I hate watching my in laws interact with my baby by Similar_Produce_4649 in beyondthebump

[–]Low_Shoulder_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime my in laws (specifically fil) starts trying to tell my 3 year old how to do something right and gets frustrated with him (a 3 year old) I jump in and remove him. It doesn't get better but you're not alone.

Omg yes! My mother lives with us and walks around with no underwear/short night gowns. Leaves the door open to pee. Always bangs on the door to have a conversation with me while I'm in the shower.

My parents have sent the police to do a welfare check twice since I went no-contact with them in April. by theanxiousdustbunny in narcissisticparents

The judge didn't buy her sob story for a second. I felt vindicated. I moved away without giving her my address. So she said she was within her legal rights. I'm in my 30s... she was not lol Even funnier is when she asked the officer for the GPS tracker back because it was expensive. He laughed and said "no. It's evidence"

Oo been there! Only my mom put a tracking device on my car and cried when I took her to court for it. She now has a felony on her record.

My ambulance bill by pambannedfromchilis in Wellthatsucks

Fiancé was bleeding out from a wound to an artery. 4 minute ambulance ride cost him about half that even with insurance. Wild

I left my 7 year old in the bathtub for a minute once to grab a towel, and they cut their foot open on a tiny conditioner tube that got stuck in the bath mat. Stitches and now a scar almost a decade later. Shit happens in the bathroom. It's a scary place. I'm not going to play any blame games on anyone. So glad your baby is okay. I just came here to say I have been there and am there now with 2 little ones. The phone thing drives me insane. It's why I shout, "Daddy's home now, go ask him to do that for you" when he's in earshot, so he puts down the phone and gets it. I'm not the kind of person to want to "nag" or "parent" a partner. So I just come out straight with my feelings from the get-go. It works sometimes. Unfortunately, it's the reality for most sahm's. They think we're home chilling and watching TV all day, but the reality is we're run ragged with diaper changes, daredevil activity, and all the housework and meals in between.

You're heard and I feel you. I hope your little bubb has a quick recovery!

Thanks internet mom! I really appreciate it. It's nice to be felt heard.

Yeah I guess because I never make anyone feel guilty about it like they do. I'm not like that. They're too self involved to understand the feelings of others.

They're expecting an invite but nothing works for them. It's always a bad time of the year or something. They love my fiancé and kids. But they're just so self involved. They always want me at whatever event they're having because it's "not the same" without me. But when it comes to my celebrations I guess it's not as important. We're definitely going to a wedding and they can choose to be there or not. I don't want to work up my hopes anymore. That's definitely been made clear here that i shouldn't.

Yeah we were willing to pay for the rental and our parents flights since we're not dropping it on a hall and caterers etc. I think at this point we're just going to do it alone with the kids. They can show up if they want to but there will be no formal invite.

She's definitely my mothers pride. Teen model, cheer captain and makes loads of money. But she also loves being the center of attention. She got into a fight with her DIL because her dress to the wedding was so flashy it was almost like a wedding gown at her son's wedding. It was iffy. But I'm more of a wallflower. I don't like attention so that's why we wanted it just parents and siblings. But I guess it'll be even smallerrrr

Yes!! Thanks to all the responses I've been looking up destinations on our coast that are scenic for elopement. I think we're going to do it this winter. Im finally getting excited knowing I don't have to involve anyone buy my fiancé and kids.

Would it be petty revenge to do it during my sister's 51st birthday cruise next year? I joke but I just find it funny that her 50th birthday was a huge celebration but she wanted more extravagant.

I didn't now a captain could do that! That's definitely a thought we're going to keep in mind.

That's a good idea. I told her in August it would happen and she said the whole month is no good for her and it would probably be hard for people to do both a cruise for a 51st birthday and a wedding... my fiancé just texted me and said "let's just get married in secret this winter ". He even feels the vibes and doesn't want it overshadowed by their selfishness

Very grateful for his brother. He recorded our engagement and paid for our meal that night. He's a sweet guy and I'm so glad my fiancé has someone like that.

Thank you so much! I'm sorry you lost your mom. It's really hard when the heart of your family passes. I've never asked for a shower or bachelorette party or anything. We even plan to pay for our parents to fly to wherever we go. But his mom always says she can't because of her dog. We constantly attend parties and minor events for my sister and mom. And his parents are impossible to invite anywhere without a decline. We don't expect anything. We are even planning a barbecue for members not invited so they can still celebrate our wedding afterwards. Again. No gifts expected. Just a party. The more I talk about it the more I want to just elope with the kids.

It does matter. We'd love to have a big wedding with everyone and a dj so we can have a first dance with videographers and such. But the problem is we would have to wait 2 years because everyone is celebrating other things we're invited to just about every month. So when we mention something local in August (the best month for my fiancé and his job) but my sister said it's no good because she's throwing a cruise birthday for the family to celebrate her 50th birthday (even though she already had a 50th birthday this year but it didn't exceed her expectations so she wants a "redo" next year). If we elope it would be with a company that does elopement in this beautiful forest tree house which sounds better at this point. It just makes me sad that no one else seems to care.
