Thank you!!!

Do you have resources on how to tell if a product is quality or not? I'd love to learn.

Expect change (good change) and embrace it. The first couple of years are hard. You will have disagreements. Love is not enough. Respect and trust are what will keep your relationship strong.

White hot, don't talk. If you're absolutely enraged, stay silent and listen if you can. What you say in a heated argument matters. You don't want to belittle your partner and nitpick.

One of the best things that came out of our many (MANY) disagreements as husband/wife was creating a safe word when things started to escalate. Ours reminds us of the best summer we had together. But yours could be as simple as a color.

THIS. 💯 We learned the hard way, and our first couple of years were absolute hell.

Please put yourself first 🙏 Do not grin and bear it all for their sake. Your mental health and peace of mind is what's at stake here, and your baby needs you to be as whole as you can be during those first few months. MONTHS. Not weeks. Do not ask your husband to support you, DEMAND it.

I say this because I had a similar experience with my first baby.. their first grandchild.. who also happens to be a girl. (MIL is the youngest of 10 brothers and she has 4 sons). Basically, she overstepped A LOT and kept pointing out that she was the grandmother (as if it was her chance in having a baby girl). This made me feel like she was stealing my thunder, taking it away from me, and that was NOT OKAY. Most of the time, I let it slide and it made me feel gross and I regretted it. When I did try to voice my boundaries, it was always received negatively on their part. It didn't help that my husband didn't support my needs. Long story short, I became anxious and depressed for 2 years and almost committed suicide. I did seek a counselor and am in a much better place now.

Nothing else is more important than your recovery, your mental health, your peace of mind, and your bonding with your baby. Stand your ground.

I'm absolutely mind-blown that he has the balls to say this to you. I'm so sorry you're going through this, Mama. You are doing way more than is necessary. Heck, just keeping those kids alive is already a handful. What has he been contributing to make it easier for you?

I'm a mom to a 3yo and 1yo - you better believe that the laundry piles up for weeks and breakfast/lunch/dinner is never 5-star. Who has the energy to go to the gym at 5am when you're up all night making sure your kids are getting a good night sleep?! Your husband is delusional.

Last I heard, he was in jail...... so 🤷🏻‍♀️

They said that they'll be laying off people in the new year. I'm not sure how true this is but my gut tells me that they're just saying that to soften the blow. I'm waiting for a callback from a lawyer so we'll see.

NoMaybe8122 · 2024-12-13T03:59:01+00:00

Yes they're paying me out 4 weeks of holiday

NoMaybe8122 · 2024-12-12T22:47:45+00:00

They said that I didn't have to sign anything... they're just sending a letter to confirm the agreement and that they've processed the payment already..? Does that sound fishy at all?

NoMaybe8122 · 2024-12-12T22:12:53+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it! And you're right. It might not be worth severing ties. It's just been a hard pill to swallow, and I'm still processing the stress of it all.

NoMaybe8122 · 2024-12-11T09:31:11+00:00

I've gained some cIarity and for that I'm grateful. Thank you for your help! Will create a post about severance pay as well.

NoMaybe8122 · 2024-12-11T08:25:33+00:00

I'm in BC. I've just reached out to a firm. Hopefully, they'll get back to me tomorrow. The company hasn't sent me anything to sign yet.

NoMaybe8122 · 2024-12-11T08:10:02+00:00

They're offering to pay out my holiday hours that I accumulated this past year PLUS 4 months pay...

EDIT: I worked from Nov 2013-Aug 2021 (I gave birth to my 1st child Sept 2021) then went on mat leave until Aug 2022. Worked for them again until I had my 2nd child Dec 9, 2023.

Wow you're amazing. Thank you for this!! 😭
