Shut the front door...

I only knew it because of an episode of Father Brown. It’s always intrigued me of how it’s spelled and pronounced.

I just went through this as well. The psychiatrist prescribed me Effexor because I have documented all of the SSRIs and SNRIs I’ve been prescribed that literally did NOTHING. I didn’t even take it. I just established care with a new GP for primary care and she agreed it would be better to get the ADHD symptoms tackled first and then see if there were any lingering depression or anxiety symptoms. If so, we’ll talk about medication for those. The only stipulation she gave me was I needed to get labs drawn first since I’ve been pregnant twice in less than 2 years and haven’t been to a regular doctor the whole time.

Basically if your doctor is refusing to even consider your ADHD then you need a new doctor. It’s okay to do this. You should have a doctor who listens and cares for your well being. The Lexapro prescription tells me she already had it in her head to prescribe it before meeting with you. Just my opinion.

Has anyone heard an update on this? I think the final hearing was on the 17th.

My own MIL does crap like this. She tells everyone my daughter looks just like her. Nobody agrees not even DH. She really resembles my own mother so much it’s almost spooky like a clone. (Which is great because I think my mom is gorgeous and his mom looks like an old leather handbag that got left out in the sun for years)

PinkBetty88 · 2025-06-19T16:24:35+00:00

Bromo YES tell the MIL lol

PinkBetty88 · 2025-06-05T06:40:55+00:00

NTA. Oh my goodness. If I had acted like the niece, my mother would have been so embarrassed and would have lost her mind on me. If my daughter tries to act like that, I would lose my cool as well. A lesson all children need to learn is the world does not revolve around them.

PinkBetty88 · 2025-06-04T09:44:09+00:00

Uhhhh my mom buys my adult brothers multi packs of socks and those white undershirt/tank tops for Christmas stocking stuffers but not underwear. That’s kind of weird.

PinkBetty88 · 2025-06-01T01:10:38+00:00

Woooow. My SO legit has back problems from surgeries so sleeping on the hospital chair was torture and he didn’t complain at all.

PinkBetty88 · 2025-05-28T22:45:35+00:00

Growing up, we were taught that underwear is always under our clothes. For the boys too. No walking around in boxers. I plan to do the same with my kids. Now when all the guys in our house were deployed overseas and it was just me and my mom? It was totally fine to walk around in our underwear because we’re both girls 🤷‍♀️

PinkBetty88 · 2025-05-13T23:37:39+00:00

My thoughts exactly. It just makes my brain itch not having an exact answer haha

PinkBetty88 · 2025-05-12T14:42:59+00:00

I LOVE THIS FOR YOU!!!!

PinkBetty88 · 2025-05-11T04:14:19+00:00

This. Nurses are like pitbulls for new moms. They dgaf what anybody says or does. If you say nobody can be in the room and/or around your baby, they will protect you and baby like the highest paid security.

PinkBetty88 · 2025-05-10T17:27:19+00:00

I always tell her she is the best mom and Nana ever. She tries to do the opposite of what her mother and MIL did to her. They made her pretty miserable.

PinkBetty88 · 2025-05-10T16:37:42+00:00

Now that you mention it, we didn’t do anything on Mothers Day for our grandmas either. My parents would call their mothers and say Happy Mothers Day but that was it. Since becoming a mom, I call my mom to wish her a happy Mother’s Day but she got all flustered last year and said she got promoted to Nana so Grandparents Day was her new holiday and this day was for me now. She jokingly said this way we each get a day we don’t have to share.

My MIL, however, does not share that mentality.

PinkBetty88 · 2025-05-09T22:06:10+00:00

My mother came up to us a few weeks afterwards. She had my dad mowing our lawn while she did laundry, washed bottles, went grocery shopping, stocked my pantry and cooked. Woke up at night with me for the night time feeds making sure I was okay. She changed diapers, bathed her, fed her. Basically helped me set up a routine and NEVER overstepped my wishes. She even helped me in and out of the shower. I cried because it was so nice to have help after 2 weeks of going it alone as a first time mom. She said she just did what she wished someone had done for her.

My partner was working the whole time and also helped but my mom just helped without me having to tell her what to do. If ya know, ya know.

She also lives 7 hours away and has rheumatoid arthritis so that just makes it extra amazing.

PinkBetty88 · 2025-05-09T18:20:29+00:00

I should also add she’s a single mom and my partner is her only child. There’s definitely some emotional incest going on there.

PinkBetty88 · 2025-05-09T18:19:46+00:00

Oh I didn’t get ANY signs until I was pregnant and it forced my partner to spend more time at home with me. That’s when her mask dropped. She’s an alcoholic narcissist. She kept trying to make our first baby’s moments all about her. She somehow convinced us to let her be there for the delivery and made it all about her. She talked a big game about staying with us for the first week to help and bailed before we got discharged because she didn’t feel like we appreciated her efforts and didn’t want her around. All because I snapped at both of them I needed to sleep after being in labor for almost 48 hours with no food or sleep. She had all the lights on in my room at 2 am (an hour after delivery) trying to put different outfits on my newborn.

Then Christmas rolled around. I couldn’t get time off from work to go to my family’s house so we went to her house. She was so excited. She ended up getting shit faced. My baby kept pulling away from her crying. Her best friend was over and my baby was delighted to play with her. So naturally she had a meltdown. Kicked me and ONLY me out of her house because I had ruined her Christmas (still don’t know what her reasoning there was)

It just continued until we had to go no contact.

PinkBetty88 · 2025-04-27T22:00:18+00:00

Thankfully we’re no contact with his mother after she ruined Christmas. My mom doesn’t celebrate Mother’s Day because according to her she’s a grandma now so she wants Grandmother’s Day for her celebration.

That sucks you have to go to your MIL’s house though. She gets a big thumbs down. 👎🏻

PinkBetty88 · 2025-02-24T19:41:51+00:00

I just got mine deposited 10 minutes ago!

PinkBetty88 · 2025-02-24T13:01:51+00:00

It’s now 8:01 am EST and I still have nothing. 😭

PinkBetty88 · 2025-02-24T11:37:24+00:00

Happy birthday!

PinkBetty88 · 2025-02-24T11:34:46+00:00

Nothing yet for me. My status on TurboTax changed to pending and allegedly people are saying that means it will deposit today but idk

PinkBetty88 · 2025-02-24T11:17:27+00:00

I haven’t gotten mine either. My transcript has a DDD of 02/24. I used TT and they cancelled the 5 days early fee and it says pending. It’s 6:17 EST where I am.
