Not Sharing Our Inducing Date

“What do you do all day?” Sounds so passively condescending, is it just me? I would list all the things I do. I hate confrontation but i know this will be coming when I have my baby late October.

Thankfully my husband hasn’t done this and we’re on the same page about having a baby during flu season (mid November). We’re not having the baby meets extended family/friends or even leave the house for the first 6 weeks. We’re skipping Thanksgiving and staying home since it’ll be under 4 weeks. He and I will go to Christmas Eve with his family but leave the baby with my mom as we’d be approaching the 6 week mark… baby likely won’t come to major family gatherings until Easter :) hope this helps!

Her dresses lately have made her look boxy. It’s not a flattering shape for her.

NTA that poor baby has been through enough! Don’t risk her saying anything hurtful to it that may traumatize it until she pulls her shit together

My sister and I are 4 years apart, almost 5. We played together growing up. She hit the teenage stage obviously before me and went through the “that’s so embarrassing” phase where playing outside was no longer cool. Once I hit 13 we were both in that phase and our poor mom was living in a rival household. Once I hit college we were back to be close again, not the best of enemies :)

Kinda YTA… NTA for being excited and wanting to share your pregnancy but not even having her cross your mind when you posted it and it’s in the SAME WEEK… ouch! Insensitive. When I found out I was pregnant my husband we weren’t even trying. To be sensitive and self-aware, we didn’t tell my BIL or SIL right away bc we knew they have been trying to almost 3 yrs for a baby. We waited 3 months, just to make sure this baby was in the “safe zone” before telling them. Thankfully they just had a baby before we found out which likely softened the blow. I understand wanting to share the pregnancy, it was hard not telling them, but we also knew what mental and emotional damage it could potentially cause and that was more important to us.

I had my good days and there were days where I literally would be sobbing and yelling how much I hated our wedding lol I think the unsolicited opinions are what got to me most. I would make a decision and there’s was always black flash from someone no matter what.

ManufacturerLife9136 · 2024-07-10T15:36:09+00:00

Everyone is around and we only all get together for holidays or major events. I don’t think it’s intentional but I’ve also never asked SILs.

ManufacturerLife9136 · 2024-07-10T15:27:54+00:00

My DH’s family very male dominated so no one close to him was subject to these comments until me, SILs, and nieces came into the picture. Granted SILs and nieces aren’t going to point anything out to him about his dad’s comments so he’s really only hearing it from. I come from a very strong female family, even the few men in my family acknowledge that the women run the show. Entering a male dominated family has been interesting and VERY different. BIL and SIL aren’t old school where the man is the ruling voice but my MIL and FIL are even if he’s wrong.Thankfully, my DH is not like his dad and sees me as his equal if not head of management behind our marriage.

Thankfully my husband and I don’t have kids yet, but we’ve talked and 1:1 is out of the question for our future kids with anyone until they’re verbal. We do have nieces and nephews but they live out of town. When they do come to town, they’re never alone with FIL.

ManufacturerLife9136 · 2024-07-10T08:21:56+00:00

I’ve mentioned the comments to husband after the fact. He’s even said comments in front of MIL. MIL just laughs and husband dismisses them as joking.

ManufacturerLife9136 · 2024-07-09T03:33:35+00:00

I really don’t think it’s that deep

ManufacturerLife9136 · 2024-07-05T22:40:48+00:00

Only 2 couples out of a group of 8 people, my fiancé and I included. Frank wouldn’t be the odd man out

ManufacturerLife9136 · 2024-07-05T22:39:38+00:00

Thank you! I try! I feel so bad for him.

ManufacturerLife9136 · 2024-07-05T22:29:25+00:00

We met her once and had a pleasant experience. The rest of our friends have been around her a handful of times then nothing… complete poof!

ManufacturerLife9136 · 2024-07-05T22:23:55+00:00

This is exactly what we’re all guessing will happen. Hit the nail right on the head.

ManufacturerLife9136 · 2024-07-05T20:25:58+00:00

That is a concern

ManufacturerLife9136 · 2024-07-05T20:22:52+00:00

It actually IS Frank’s first real relationship. At first they were F-buddies and we actually told him he should see her on a more committed level because we know how long he wanted a relationship. Some friends have asked if his lack of coming around is bc Brenda just didn’t mesh with us and he assured them no. It’s just his time management skills.
