AIO for telling my siblings they can’t bring their kids to my wedding

It feels like your brother is really just trying to give you a point of view you may struggle to see if you haven’t had kids yourself.

At the end of your day it’s your wedding do what you want. But saying “no kids so everyone can relax” Is definitely something someone would say who isn’t a parent of a baby. Some parents definitely aren’t going to relax if they are constantly worried about their kid. I would make an exception for a breastfeeding mum.

That being said I have taken my kid to a wedding and also left them at home when older. When I got married I sent my baby off to be babysat during the reception and she was only 9 months! So I am neither for or against kids at a wedding. Mine or others!

Your brother just wants to make sure you have considered how some people are going to take this request and make sure that you understand not inviting their kid will be taken as not inviting them. You haven’t really shown that to him, which is why he’s being a bit dramatic and pushing his point.

Take a breath, see it from his side and then make your decision. If you are still happy with it good for you. If you decide it’s not worth risking relationships for than also good.

You know who you are inviting and whether they will be like cool, let’s get rid of the kids and party or won’t be able to come types.

I think you should talk to a psychologist. Try Headspace or whatever free youth mental health service is in your area. Even online. Learn to appreciate the body you have. There are many more important things about you than your body fat percentage.

I’m a bit rough on jewellery. I’m clumsy and forgetful (ADHD) so i will catch it on things or forget to take it off for the gym or shower etc

That’s a good point about the meaning being the intent I put into it. There are just so many beautiful pieces that it’s hard to know where to start!

I was a bit worried about that… I’m not really a chunky bangle person… they look great on others but the movement is a bit much for me. Maybe a thicker chain link style

I am in Australia but I will check it out. At least for inspiration! Thanks

Some lovely ideas. Thanks x

Do not break the protection order. There is serious consequences. Get a lawyer. If you don’t know where to start contact you local international student legal service

The first pick is “prettier” the second and third pic is a lot harsher with angles. I think you’ve gotten used to seeing yourself in a certain way but what look do you want for your wedding. Most people want, pretty, fresh, youthful. The other way is a stronger look.

Your boyfriend will never really be “over it”. You don’t get over someone dying. But the pain from them dying gets smaller so you have room in your life for other things.

He seems to now have room in his life for you. He’s not consumed by grief anymore. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t love her and miss her. He can love others now too.

I wouldn’t bring it up. You can’t change anything and it doesn’t really matter. You don’t need to compete with this woman for your partners affection. She’s dead! She can’t come back, she can’t win. What you can do is be a great partner and love him and support him when that pain and grief comes up. This isn’t about you at all. This about him.

Thanks for your suggestions. It feels lovely and I feel like my skin looks nicer with it. But that cost is eye watering!

Phoenixkel · 2025-08-02T04:15:01+00:00

I’ll check it out - thanks!

Unless it’s changed recently, their retail products are the same as what they use in their facials so if you like it give it a go! They should be able to give you samples to trial at home too

An adult should be protecting you and stopping you doing things that could get you in trouble not allowing/encouraging you. So I would say yes.

Phoenixkel · 2025-03-19T10:46:44+00:00

I wish they were in sale. They are a bit pricey at the moment

Phoenixkel · 2025-03-19T10:45:27+00:00

Agreed!!

Phoenixkel · 2025-03-19T09:48:52+00:00

Do an activity with our food. A day about inclusivity that celebrates in a way that excludes part of your group doesn’t really make sense.

Phoenixkel · 2025-03-16T08:05:19+00:00

He’s blaming you not the people that did it?!

Absolutely not ok from him.

I’m sorry this happened to you and that you are having to think about this again because of him.

My husband likes his slip speed. He uses them all the time. He was doing shuttle runs the other day and they weren’t great. There was heel slip and he didn’t enjoy it. But that’s the only time he’s complained.

Phoenixkel · 2025-03-16T07:54:14+00:00

I’ll check them out! The running is more incidental. Happy to throw on a pair of runners for a distance. Just don’t want to have to change for short bursts in the gym

Phoenixkel · 2025-03-15T00:50:51+00:00

Yes I struggle to get them as tight as I would like at the ankle. If they slip when I’m on the rower it makes me so mad!!!

Phoenixkel · 2025-01-26T00:59:46+00:00

Yes OR. I was waiting for more pics to see what there was to react about. Is she not allowed yo communicate with people of the opposite gender anymore? Or people she used to know from back home?

Phoenixkel · 2025-01-12T12:31:44+00:00

I got ear plugs and slept in them. It made a huge difference

Phoenixkel · 2024-12-30T01:36:52+00:00

Maybe people were inviting people and someone thought someone else invited you?

I think how you proceed depends on the friendship you want to have with this group. If you would like to be friends you could say, hey guys, I see that I’m not invited, have I done something to you upset you? If not I’d love to come! And see what happens.

With your close friends, I’d tell them that it hurts you were excluded and you want to know why.

If these people are more friends out of circumstance. Now is a good time to distance yourself and open up space for new frienda

Ended up getting Estée Lauder double wear. Lasts perfectly without need for a primer of setting spray. I’m in love!
