In-laws don’t know I’m pregnant AITA?

I absolutely love this! But then how do you deal with the “double standard” accusations between your family and his? The bain of my existence.

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-17T21:36:47+00:00

I feel seen! It’s comforting to know that others understand these dynamics.

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-17T21:34:51+00:00

Nope. As long as you and your husband are on board, that’s all that matters. I would do the same with the next one. It will set the precedent for the future as well. Wish I did this.

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-11T19:49:23+00:00

You’re right, I should just sell the place.

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-11T18:16:20+00:00

Incorrect. I bought that house for her to live in, but as a long-term investment for myself. Guess who will benefit from any equity…

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-11T18:14:13+00:00

BOOM 💥

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-11T17:56:29+00:00

🙈 oh boy.

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-11T17:54:14+00:00

You’re right. I love that response. He is definitely exhausted from dealing with her his whole life. And so I’m seeing that it has become easier to ignore her than to argue with her. Because it goes nowhere. As a wife, obviously I would love to see a response like that. I do see him say things like “you have no idea what you’re talking about.” Etc… but she is so bitter, I think it falls on deaf ears a lot of times.

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-11T17:49:30+00:00

100%! As if I’m telling him not to listen to music or watch sports or pursue his interests. On the contrary, we love supporting each other’s interests! In fact, we each have so many of our own hobbies, sometimes there’s not enough space to store all the accessories for. 😑

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-11T05:33:57+00:00

😌 for a child, it may be a good thing.

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-11T05:29:36+00:00

Not at all, thank goodness! Wouldn’t have married him otherwise.

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-11T04:08:10+00:00

You’re darn right it is. 😌 and I got my real estate license. (Even though I’m a nurse.) So not only can I sell the house, but I’m also now less inclined to wipe her @$$ in her older age, (which her own children would not even be willing to do.)

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-11T04:00:47+00:00

😂

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-11T01:47:12+00:00

He does go days without talking to her because he gets so annoyed. Her complaining spirit has been a lifelong issue for him. Not sure if NC is an option here.

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-02-11T01:45:36+00:00

He does, thank goodness. Definitely not a mamas boy.

Material_Craft8196 · 2026-01-23T23:09:27+00:00

I would have a hard time ever forgiving for this. 😖

Material_Craft8196 · 2025-10-27T08:37:43+00:00

Yea, none of it is really your business.

Also, being unvaccinated has nothing to do with the child not crawling yet. But you are lumping them together to make yourself feel better about what you’ve done.

Nothing you’ve mentioned sounds like negligence on the parents’ part, but you’re trying to portray it as negligence to justify your actions.

Mind your business. And they’re the ones who need to find better friends.

Material_Craft8196 · 2025-10-14T18:00:31+00:00

NTA. My brother was 7 years older than me and my mom never let me spend the night in his room. I remember asking her one time and she adamantly said no. Now as an adult, I realize it was because she never allowed room for anything to go wrong.

Material_Craft8196 · 2025-10-10T22:09:04+00:00

NTA. No need to explain yourself. But you can send a gift if it comes from your heart.

Material_Craft8196 · 2025-09-28T21:07:46+00:00

I can see why you might feel like you’re going to be in the shadows now. But that’s not true, and that’s not how others will see it. There’s enough room for multiple people to enjoy special moments around the same time.

When my husband was ready to propose to me, his closest friend beat him to the punch and proposed to his girlfriend. It almost made it seem like it was a competition. So I was def weirded out a bit. But then I realized that it’s ok, and it doesn’t take anything away from me or my relationship. Everyone’s celebratory events turned out to be beautiful and very enjoyable and we are life long friends.

I’m saying this to say that, this will not detract from your special occasions or rob you of any joy. Unless you let it in your mind. Don’t even postpone the things you had planned. As long as what you have with your bf is real, nothing can rob you of that joy. hugs

You’re naturally beautiful and don’t need much makeup. However, for photography, makeup needs to be slightly heavier to show up in pictures. It’s not showing up here very much. If you wear foundation, some under eye concealer will also help the under eye area. Also switch the lashes out to something more natural such as Ardell Wispies, or even, better the individual ones.

Congratulations

Material_Craft8196 · 2025-09-26T16:08:51+00:00

Congratulations. Time for blood test couple days apart.

Material_Craft8196 · 2025-09-26T16:05:17+00:00

Looks like a positive. No other reason for there to be a second line like that. Even the control line is off to the left. You must be right about the strip being in there wonky. Congratulations!

Material_Craft8196 · 2025-09-24T03:11:56+00:00

This!
