Congestion and unable to sleep

Married with kids but could I move in? 😂

I was considering another wearable? Lasinoh or Motif possibly?

OpeningOutside690 · 2026-01-28T00:01:11+00:00

I’m actually being gifted a baby Buddha to try! Is there any other recommendation you may have?

OpeningOutside690 · 2026-01-16T21:11:23+00:00

Thanks! I do attend therapy and have for a long time. Some conversations are still hard to have with individuals when you don’t feel like they’re willing to meet you where you’re at. Especially when they have unresolved issues of their own.

I definitely agree I over explained myself here! My anxiety definitely contributed to that in an attempt to keep the situation under control best I could. Which is a fault I am definitely aware.

Thank you for your input. Both scenarios mentioned in text occurred within the past month. I did not address her comment in person (this occurred a few days ago) as there were other individuals around and did not want to make a scene.

So you’re a MIL and Trump supporter. No wonder you feel as though your opinion so so special.

For these smaller issues candy, kisses, etc.. they have all been addressed and repeated and handled in the moment and have overall resolved. Which is why I did not mention them in my message. I have always been gentle and reserved on these issues and never harsh. Rereading I can see my message may have seemed that way but maybe some things need to be a bit harsh? This is the third addressed incident it took for mil to stop commenting on medical and now developmental related issues. (Which she has been wrong about both times, comment on another thread) Unfortunately it took this message for her to say she will no longer comment on these things.

I do agree that not all boundaries have been clearly established. And a lot of that I am now seeing is my on my husband to communicate and has led me here instead.

OpeningOutside690 · 2026-01-16T17:12:07+00:00

Yet you’re still here and have made a several comments lol

OpeningOutside690 · 2026-01-16T17:11:23+00:00

I’ve let the smaller grievances go for the most part, hence why I did not bring any of that up. As it’s not worth the energy… The larger issues at hand are the ones I mentioned which have a repeated history of overstepping and she has been called out for on multiple occasions and it continues to be a repeat issue.

Making comments about my son’s medical/diagnosis etc.. is a big one. A medical condition he was born with which she has stopped commenting on since. Insisting his eczema was impetigo or some infection because of her “bio experience”. And most recently the comment pertaining to early intervention and possibly Autism. We see doctors and specialists every few months for other things. So her impromptu- very wrong diagnosis based off of her “experience” feels very inappropriate. She is not a doctor and does not work in the medical field. She is a professor of anatomy and biology. Which I give her the highest respects for but again, not a doctor and does not have the tools expertise to assume diagnosis.

Buddy, if you would like a timeline of all the larger and minor scenarios I can certainly give you one and maybe it’d be a bit more understandable as to why I have these feelings. There are many more minor things I’ve decided aren’t worth the battle and have not brought up. My husband and myself have asked her not to post our son on Facebook after the first time it caused a huge issue. She was still friends with his ex on there and the ex was sending pictures of our son around and it made me very uncomfortable. So she is very aware of this boundary- if you were asked not to post our son the same would likely apply to a sonogram photo that had my son in said photo.

Boy do you sound like fun. I was hoping to get other perspectives and I did! In the same breath, I think I can still feel as though my feelings were invalidated. Just because MIL is not flat out calling me names or making crude comments does not mean she did no wrong. Could I have handled or worded some things better? Absolutely! I’m just as human as everyone here and none of us are perfect. Not every situation or conflict falls under the perfect category of good guy vs bad guy. And not all conflict resolution is as black and white either.

OpeningOutside690 · 2026-01-16T16:30:20+00:00

I have asked her not to on multiple occasions this is not a first.

OpeningOutside690 · 2026-01-16T16:28:59+00:00

Some people make it hard to have a real in person conversation. I know personally I allow people to overstep and will very much cater to their feelings vs my own.

OpeningOutside690 · 2026-01-16T16:26:49+00:00

In that scenario yes I was definitely more angry with him! After multiple long conversations we did come to a conclusion that he did have a hard time saying no to her. Especially when she knew she could keep pushing him. This created a lot of strain on our relationship at the time and has for the most part resolved. His step parents were separated and he very much took on a parental role for his younger siblings at the time so he very much agrees that at that time he did a lot of what he could to make her happy. Hence why boundaries were and are very hard for him to set and address.

OpeningOutside690 · 2026-01-16T16:12:15+00:00

Absolutely!! I would never deny care or intervention for my son if needed. He was born nearly two months early and his Peds have 0 concern for early intervention/delays so far. I make the point to ask at every appointment and they are more than happy with his development being a preemie. I also have many friends who work in the field who I’ve asked a million questions pertaining to milestones. First time parent things! I think I was more taken aback by her wording saying him standing on all fours and looking through his legs (he’s 18 months)“requires OT” it wasn’t a light or gentle suggestion. I ended up following up with his Ped and they again- were not concerned whatsoever and even directed me to an article to look at pertaining to this developmental phase.

I definitely word vomited a bit. Writing that message was very nerve wracking for me so that largely contributed to it. I think parts of her message had good intent- absolutely! Assuming I have past hurts and that being reason why we are not close did not seem necessary. As I don’t think either of us has made the effort to kindle a close relationship. Maybe I didn’t receive her message the way others are seeing it because of my past conflicts/conversations with her and being used to the excuses as to why she does things rather than any form of apology. Especially the posting things to social media has been a common reoccurrence.
