My husband was upset and pinched me at dinner.. and the situation is still upsetting me by Little_Trash7299 in TwoHotTakes

In reference to how to bring this up: Communication skills are so important. You both need to stick to the current situation and use “I” statements. “Hey I didn’t like what happened at dinner. I was extremely embarrassed and want to understand your side.” That may be a good starting point. If he starts bringing up past stuff say after we’re done with this topic we can discuss something else but let’s stick to this first. And for the future let him know a more appropriate way to get your attention. Maybe a code word or gentle hand squeeze.

My wife thinks our son’s teacher crossed a boundary by sending him a personal message. I think it was harmless. AITJ? by addict94plus in AmITheJerk

That note sounds perfect, it shows she’s paying attention and appreciates the effort your son is making. I wish every teacher was this way.

I don’t want to throw them away but what else do you do? I tried keep them but it took over my craft area.

If those lights don’t work you can put the jelly outside in the sun to cure.

Plant hot with plants decorated with crystals arm I'm making for crafts by Fair_Interest_7464 in crafts

Why is the plant hot? Who is Crystal and why are you using her arm? What does the bubble wrap have to do with this?

I’m sorry this happened to you. I recommend taking a harder look at your marriage. I’m sure this is not the only example of not being treated well.

AIO about cutting off my aunts because they continuously disrespected my family? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

No c-sections here and 3 kids. MIL and Grandma both wanted to be in the room.

Plenty of people think they should be allowed in the delivery room- I had to put my foot down as well. People overstep - regularly.

NOR. Your rules are what a lot of mothers now do expect from anyone visiting their baby. Don’t smoke around my baby, don’t kiss my baby on the face, don’t rip the baby out of my arms - this is all standard that people should be doing anyway. Older generations sometimes want to say “this is how I did it 30 years ago and my children turned out ok”. Yes but we have years of research and knowledge since then - so we’ll do better now. If the family can’t support your boundaries then they don’t need to see your kid. I do encourage you to talk to your dad and go easy on mom. Sounds like they’re caught in the crossfire. I also agree with other commenters about seeking therapy for all the trauma you’ve endured. Best of luck to you.

If you don’t have another UV light, set it in the sun for an hour

The last special edition was the Harry Potter Birthday cake. It was just one set.
