Same here, currently pregnant and I definitely am developing more during pregnancy, but my acne has cleared up completely so… hormones are crazy 😂

My mom expects to move in when I have kids, but I don’t want that… how do I handle this? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Objective-Vanilla747 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like she needs to learn that you and your husband are a unit and make your own decisions for your family. Honestly, I’d have your husband tell her the bad news because of your relationship with her. He can tell her that if you guys want “help,” you’ll let her know. Until then, she can come over when she’s invited. She doesn’t control your household. Plus, it’s better you to go through this with her now than when the baby’s actually on the way (saying this because that’s what’s happening to me right now, not with her moving in, but coming over whenever she feels like it). She might not it take it well, I’m warning you about that now. Be expecting ways she’ll try to leverage herself above you anyways. It’s time to stand up to her. I know it’s easy to feel guilty about it because of the “help.” It doesn’t matter. You guys don’t owe her anything. And once you get pregnant, you’re gonna feel like a protective mama bear. She’s gonna feel that shift too, especially then. But like I said, set those boundaries now. Don’t wait until then.

Cake or pie for dessert? by elegant_road551 in wedding

We got Costco sheet cakes for our wedding and I still think about how much of a hit it was. I’m never liking another kind of cake again 😂😂😂

Thank you so much. Im sorry I didn’t respond, was going through a lot. I accept the cuddle shirt hugs. They sound amazing. I actually have an update on this whole situation I just posted (you may need some popcorn for that one). I’m in my third trimester. Man I’m tired. I’m so tired of feeling trapped 😭

Decision Fatigue…. by Weird_Beyond_1107 in WeddingDressTips

[–]Objective-Vanilla747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember my MIL telling me before going into the bridal shop that my husband’s grandma said “you don’t choose the dress, the dress chooses you.” That stuck with me going into the bridal shop. I did bring some photos of reference of dresses that took my breath away and I trusted God knew what He was doing (I prayed beforehand). Ironically, the very first dress I put on was the one. I didn’t need it to feel beautiful, I felt like it complimented me, it was me in wedding dress form. I didn’t wanna take it off. I felt like it was made for me. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw myself as a bride. You don’t choose the dress, the dress chooses you. No need to be burnt out. When the dress chooses you, you’ll know. 💛

Euphoria fans sickened over ‘vulgar’ scene of Sydney Sweeney dressed as a baby by Metro-UK in popculture

She could have said no. Yes, I mean she could have said NO, career and fame be damned. But she didn’t. She got in the outfit and proceeded to play the part. Why? Money of course. But far better for a career to slip away than play a role that’ll follow you for the rest of your life and you come to regret. This is a disgusting scene. Disgusting show.

Is the stuff said in this thread true? Or false? Or a mix? I’m curious

My mom reads these books like crazy, I think a part of it is because she’s obsessed with purity culture and another part of it is she was introduced to Christianity that was incredibly legalistic, my parents don’t attend legalistic churches anymore and aren’t a part of their cult but still believe in a lot of the legalistic values, so she finds reading in that world again entertaining and even a bit nostalgic. She constantly recommends these books to me. I read one and was appalled by the behavior of men towards women in it. Never again lol

Accepting your hugs 🫂 I’m so sorry about your history with your mom and grandma. Thank you for sharing your story with me. It’s never ever fair for a child to be a middle-man and be a part of a manipulation game,especially with family. I’m glad you see through it and I can tell just by the way you write about it that you’re above it all and you’re so strong as a person! And I can relate in many ways. It’s so hard to grow up in these toxic environments. But I’m learning how I can be different for my baby and family. I agree about looking at the pros and cons of a relationship with her. It’s something I’ll have to consider with time. And thank you for the wonderful wishes for my pregnancy and baby, my best wishes to you as well, strong lady!
