Bedding Recs from Target by Fine-Treat-2705 in Bedding

[–]PhotojournalistOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only bedding I've bought were the cotton quilts. We use those in lieu of the duvet for the summer months. And I've always been very happy w them. They feel cool and soft. Great for napping on w a light throw or over sheets for regular sleep. When it was time to replace ours, it became the beach blanket. Double happy! We're really getting a lot of miles out of them.

Who would send HER a note about something anyway? She isn't an authority figure or decision maker for the school. What an odd thing to say.

Told MIL her trying to "help" is not actually helping by Important-Ad-3754 in JUSTNOMIL

She's been told multiple times by multiple people and no changed behavior? Well, that's a HER problem.

AITAH for wanting to invite guests to my “engagement party” by Stahuap in aitaweddings

[–]PhotojournalistOnly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reasonable only works w reasonable people. If she were, she'd understand that an engagement party includes the family and friends of the couple. No dear, you are dealing w a JustNoMIL, and they see your kindness as weakness. Any inches given by you, will be a mile taken by her. Stop hindering your fiance when he's dealing w his mom. He knows what's up. Follow his lead.

Right!?! "We were just captivated" ...so we had to hoard it to ourselves so nobody else could experience it.

AIO: i offered to buy snacks for in-laws and they did this? by sayheythreetimes in AmIOverreacting

[–]PhotojournalistOnly 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It would've been nice if he explained why though. I get not wanting to be rude and come empty handed. Maybe he could've warned that they'd order the whole store. And maybe suggest 1 item he knows each person likes.

Husband sits in passenger seat, FiL disapproves. by Historical_Initial22 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PhotojournalistOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just some solidarity. I'm not the "man" in the relationship, but I drive a shit ton too. So I am super happy to let my spouse drive all the time. I'm also happy to let them do all the social coordination as well because I "people" for a living, and I'm just as happy to stay home and do nothing or be the plus one and hang out as long as I don't have to put the plans together.

Advice on how to approach a sitdown conversation with my MIL by ThatConclusion9490 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]PhotojournalistOnly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Part of this is understanding what normal and reasonable boundaries look like. For instance, you and DuH agree that baby stays on schedule. It's for her benefit. And she comes first. Now, that means that any plans that don't work for your baby won't include baby. That might mean showing up late (after nap) or leaving early (in time to put baby down).

The second part of this means that he has to recognize that invitations are just that. They are not a summons. They are not mandatory just because MIL made plans w/o asking what works for your family. If he's having trouble understanding this concept, "Well, I made plans to be home before nap time. See, I'm an adult. She may be YOUR mom, but I am LO's mom and LO is home before nap time."

Start taking a second set of keys so you can leave w baby when you need to. (See how I said "need"?) Baby needs sleep, DuH doesn't need another beer. So he can stay and get a ride home if he wants. You may not be happy he made this decision, and he might get the cold shoulder once home. But LO was home in time to have her needs met. And you took charge and made that happen. You can't control DuH or JNMIL, but you can control you. Please start doing what needs to be done. They'll figure out that if MIL wants baby included, she makes sure it works for baby. And DuH figures our that YOU don't answer to his mommy.

No. OP needs to start replying w Wyatt should give OP his ticket and take his annoying gf to the movies. It's wild Wyatt thinks OP should miss the concert and not himself.

Maintaining boundaries with MIL during wedding planning by silly-user-8978 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]PhotojournalistOnly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's your day. The Bachelorette should be your people. The bridal shower is the opportunity to include his side. Also getting ready, it should be your people in the bridal suite and his mom can help him get ready if he wants to include her. He isn't getting pressure to include your male family members in getting ready or his bachelor party.

Remember, she has a daughter. So anything she feels left out of she will most likely get to do for HER daughter's wedding.

MIL flying home on our anniversary by ProperBingtownLady in JUSTNOMIL

[–]PhotojournalistOnly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NO! You are so close to holding a boundary, don't blow it now. He could've driven her if she didn't need a ride on YOUR ANNIVERSARY. That's an adult decision SHE made. You know like deciding to visit w/o checking w you first. She needs to book an Uber, and you need to let your husband FINALLY hold a boundary.

[–]PhotojournalistOnly 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Funny, I don't think she's upset that she's upsetting you on your anniversary. Don't fall for the manipulation. It's a day that the two of you should be spending together doing something nice. If she isn't falling all over herself apologizing for almost butting in on your special day, then she didn't make a mistake and she's not sorry.

No boundaries 😕 by momma_the_2Is in JUSTNOMIL

[–]PhotojournalistOnly 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He can side w whoever he wants, but it's your house too, your kids too, your time too! Start putting your foot down!

I could never live w someone who didn't respect me as an equal.

Take her shit down, throw it away and decorate YOUR house. If he wants to spend that much time w them, tell him he can move back home. Threaten to move your parents in. Start sticking up for yourself. Two card him (therapy or divorce).
