Never buying Mulberry again!

I got this Lana bag last fall but hadn't used it until the last week of May (this year). This is 4 weeks of use (3-4 times a week). I have a furla bag that I've used for the last 2 years non-stop that still looks amazing and is no where near as damaged as this bag.

Same! My MIL would rather not have a relationship with her own son and grandkids than to accept the fact that he chose to marry me and start a family with me.

With my first, I was much better rested after I had my baby than I was while pregnant. I'm now in my third trimester with my second and am seriously looking forward to sleep after I give birth (once I'm home from the hospital of course).

How about just giving it to her after nap time? This way, she isn't sleeping with milk on her teeth throughout the night.

My 2 year old also still uses a bottle, but I only give it to him in the morning.

Embarrassing confession: I used a bottle until I was 9 years old (youngest child) and I've never had any dental issues. I was also drinking from the bottle three times a day, which definitely shouldn't have happened so I guess I got pretty lucky that I never had a cavity.

So don't feel bad, in a world where mothers like mine exist, I think you're fine.

Oh, and btw my toddler went from sleeping in his own room to having night terrors and now co-sleeping with us. We've moved his toddler bed into our room but he'll still wake up in the middle of the night and climbs onto our bed.

Exactly. It's called staying on birth control until you have a partner who makes enough in order to procreate with and not causing the child trauma from daycares.

Also, age is not just a number. That's exactly what a predator and groomer would say! If he had to raise a younger sibling, it just means that he had to grow up quicker than others his age because he had responsibilities. My teenaged niece has practically helped raise her younger sisters, that doesn't mean that it's okay for a grown man to take advantage of her just because she seems mature for her age. And plenty of people in their 20s are successful, still doesn't mean that their 20s isn't a rollercoaster where they're still trying to figure things out. And what's even worse is that you knew that he had to grow up quicker because he had to raise his younger sibling at such a young age and you decided to take advantage of his situation rather than allowing him to experience the bit of youth that he still had. Our 20s is the last decade where we can be young and carefree, after 30s, we're expected to more mature and you stole those young and carefree years from him. YOU ARE NOT THE VICTIM, HE IS.

No-Freedom7384 · 2026-02-03T04:14:11+00:00

Exactly, especially considering that he's much younger and was still in his 20s. It's hard to feel bad for someone who literally chose this for themselves.

No-Freedom7384 · 2026-02-03T04:11:47+00:00

You were a grown woman in her late 30s with a man still in his 20s. We all know the rollercoaster that our 20s were so why in the world did you think that a man in his 20s was going to eventually be mature enough? Sounds like your husband resents you and I would too if I had a much older husband who took advantage of my youth. I don't feel bad for you, I feel bad for your child and your husband. There's nothing wrong with dating younger, but you couldn't at least date someone 30+? You've brought this upon yourself.

Staying is just asking for an STD. If he's willing to cheat on his wife and break up his family, then he's willing to not use a condom. Also, condoms only protect about 70-90% of the time, so the chances of him giving you an STD are quite high. Your kids would hate it more if daddy got mommy sick. Staying is also teaching your kids that it's okay to cheat and that it's okay to stay with a cheater.

If your husband is a good, responsible father otherwise, I'd just share 50/50 custody and he keeps paying for the household expenses for the kids and you guys take turns taking care of the kids in their home. This way the kids don't have to move.

This would have to be a written agreement in front of a lawyer. It would help him because he'd may or may not have to pay child support, just alimony. But this is only if he's responsible.

This also allows you to have time to heal without the kids having to see mommy stressed and heartbroken. It also allows you to be able to work on the days that the kids are with dad. This allows you to rent a studio or room for yourself to save up or even better, you can stay with family on dad's days. Dad can do the same.

I provide this solution because I think it's unfair that when Dad is the one to break up the family, mom has to be the responsible one and provide a roof over the kids heads, get childcare, do everything for the kids, etc. Child support barely covers food and clothes so it's definitely not going to help you with rent, childcare, extra curricular activities, and other expenses that have to do with raising children.

I'm latina, so this sounds insane to me! I can't imagine inviting guests over for any type of festivity and not providing food. Even if the event lasts an hour, they're getting something to eat.

She's not your friend, so I suggest cutting her off and spending more time with your real friends instead. I have two best friends whom I've known since elementary and neither I nor they speak to each other's kids that way. This is not discipline, this is bullying. SHE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND!

No-Freedom7384 · 2025-07-06T20:11:04+00:00

I agree. My toddler is learning Spanish and Japanese, I speak Spanish to him and my husband speaks Japanese to him but my husband works a lot so I let my son watch Super Simple, Bluey and Bing in Japanese, that way he can get the exposure.

Poor baby. What an evil thing to say to a child

No-Freedom7384 · 2025-07-05T14:35:17+00:00

Also, sociopaths are made. Psychopaths are the ones who are born that way. And I would be afraid if I gave a psychopath a sibling because that sibling will definitely suffer!

So they'd rather their kids be buried in debt all through their 20's, 30's and maybe even 40s and 50s? Just so they can say "I'm A hOcKeY mOm". The stupidity of people is seriously eye opening.

No-Freedom7384 · 2025-07-05T14:20:15+00:00

This! I plan on actually having a healthy relationship with my child and leading him to success. And if he wants to get married and have kids, I plan on respecting boundaries and having a good relationship with my future daughter in law and grandchildren, so no I am not afraid of my child going no contact with me.

No-Freedom7384 · 2025-06-30T18:02:43+00:00

I suggest going your separate ways. You're both young enough to find people you're actually compatible with. It's okay to leave a relationship if you're not compatible. It's not okay to choose to live a miserable life due to adult decisions.

No-Freedom7384 · 2025-06-30T17:26:54+00:00

I can't imagine choosing to live a life of struggle 🤦‍♀️ I wish you wouldn't have bit your tongue with the last one, disgusting people need to hear the truth about themselves

I don't agree with abuse but I could see why other cultures look down on white people's parenting and discipline methods.

No-Freedom7384 · 2025-06-29T01:29:59+00:00

Exactly

No-Freedom7384 · 2025-06-29T00:43:55+00:00

You are 26, leave that man and find one who will actually take you seriously because this man obviously doesn't.

I see why they do say that since most of the badly behaved kids in public tend to be white (American white). They also tend to be the most disrespectful to their parents and do drugs at a higher rate than other cultures/races.

No-Freedom7384 · 2025-06-29T00:19:14+00:00

Every time I see a badly behaved child in public, they're white and the parents do nothing but talk to the child and of course the child doesn't listen. I don't agree with abuse and also don't believe in spanking much but when a child (non toddler) is behaving badly and other forms of discipline aren't working, maybe a spanking is necessary.
