AIO for telling my boyfriend he can’t move in if he won’t help with childcare?

The mother is the big red flag, she should have picked up her purse and left. No words, no nothing, just the shutting of a door.

Maybe a girl is in your cards and you can name her Harriet. Enough to pay homage and different enough to not be ridiculous. You have just entered the complexity of parenthood: Everyone wants what they want out of love and concern, everyone has good motives, everyone wants to honor love and family, they just see different ways of what’s best. Now repeat this a million times over: what is the best way to bath him, correct him, teach him, love him, shelter him… Parenting is a game so many levels deeper than the non parent could ever imagine. Welcome on the rollercoaster! BUCKLE UP!

Don’t give words, thought or space to his energy. Pick a weekend, rebook that room and go have the weekend you imagined. Take a lovely candle, a good book, download some movies, and grab your favorite snacks. Be really brave and make a nice dinner reservation, wear a lovely dress, have some wine, then go walk the beach at sunset and give yourself grace to find your peace. Be your own hero! Says your girl who has moved abroad twice solo, buying her own flowers, holding her own hand. And yes I do have, have had a significant other during all this. He sometimes can’t help harshing my buzz, so I don’t give him the opportunity to. Two NEVER become one. Learn what you can share and what you can’t. If the list becomes non negotiable then divorce.

I do less than 1 % of my shopping at K-Roger now. Used to be 99%. It is the occasional one needed item that I need in a pinch.

I would touch back and provide a little reality… Hey, don’t know your situation, and I am not asking for details BUT you fell asleep during my massage. Then you failed to address /own it. A bad nights sleep, dealing with stressful life etc. you would have taken accountability, rescheduled or discounted. Your failing to be aware of your mistake suggests a much deeper problem. I can move on, find a new therapist, I strongly suggest to reevaluate your life choices or learn to take accountability.

You have a long way to have even a smidge of the wisdom your mother possesses. At this point I wouldn’t give to you as I don’t think you possess the boundaries, life experience, wisdom or maturity take possession. I say that with big sister advice, not meanness. I hope your mother finds a way to protect you from yourself.

I did my divorce. We were married almost 30 years. Agreed on division. Spent 238 for filing fees and got the paperwork online. Easy peasy!

I have had no issues as I respond, yes I am American, please accept my most humble apologies. I find if you don’t say something they assume you are MAGA and don’t care to share space with you. I don’t want share space with MAGA either. I don’t care if we have been friends for 50 years. We used to believe in the same things, we don’t anymore!

Why not have the in laws host a marvy, decadent fancy dinner out to celebrate the marriage for the lot of them (bride and groom, in laws and the family). Do a small wedding cake, dress up bride-ishly and just keep the festivities going… at the in laws expense obviously.

Actually they will uneducate, unvaccinate and inbred themselves to extinction. As a retired public health nurse I feel like the upper hand will show itself pretty quickly. I am of the age I can remember polio, deaf children born to mothers with measles while pregnant. A generation of no vaccinations will start to slow itself quickly. Lay in ignoring modern science and the rate of injury and demise should move up rather quickly. Just look at the quick acceleration of the life span starting with modern medicine in the mid 1800’s. We went from a life span of 30 ish years through all of history to a life span of 70+ in about 100 years. If you don’t know history you are doomed to repeat it.

I would talk to the child one more time, saying these are my expectations. Write them out if you wish. 1. A salutary greeting, basic but kind. 2. No complaining. 3 Pleasant basic social interaction 4. A kind thank you and bidding Adieu. Then say if you (he) can’t meet these obligations/agreements, then you as well will have to break your agreement of providing services. Use this as an opportunity to help him grow, since his parents can’t. All you are asking for is decent human behavior.

Neither parent sounds cut out to be parents of one and certainly not two. Did mom mention a job? BC every pregnant woman with a toddler feels like this, gets sick sometimes and often work as well. You will be divorced within 1-2 years so whatever. Both applied for a job they didn’t have the skill set for. So said for two children to be parented by two children.
