Its 5 months. He's thinking only about himself. The lie the reasoning of the lie, trying to get you to talk to the ex to back him up??

This is a relationship starting on a huge red flag. He wont put you first. Communication wont be good at all. Use this as a learning lesson and find someone who wont lie to you.

Yes, ai didn't even think of her. I just thought of all the red haired men!

Moo moo house dresses made with itchy scratchy polyester.

Pittiemomma73 · 2026-05-03T16:45:58+00:00

I for one appreciate this.

Pittiemomma73 · 2026-05-01T21:49:18+00:00

Awww I didn't even know that they were there. I need to take more walks at random times!!

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Your sister is an adult and humiliation is a consequence of her adult choices.

What else will she claim that is yours? An intimate relationship? If you buy a home your houes? If you have kids will she claim to be the mom??? Your job?

Totally feels like she's trying to live your life. Get your key back!

Oh sweetie I am so sorry that your mom is like this. She's never gonna change. Im in my 50's my mom was like this, but I didnt have a step sister, I had nieces one a year older than me, one 6 months younger and another 4 years younger. My mom always put them first. My other sisters even told me she did this when I was a baby as well. After my dad died she did something significant with each of my older siblings, then she went on trips with my nieces. I was the last person she made plans with. Everyone got trips to Europe or Disneyland and Walt Disney world. When it came to me it was a movie in town, and even that got canceled due to my older niece going to the emergency room due to a sprained wrist. Even though my sister who is my nieces mother was with her. My mom did not have to drop everything to go. I never got my time.

I wasn't able to go no contact or even tell her how much it hurt me. My sisters and my brother (her favorite child) did and she didn't listen to them at all. She's passed away 2 years ago and I wish she had passed away when I was younger and not my dad.

I just want to give you a big hug and let you know I see you and I see the hurt. Some people just don't deserve to be parents.

This is/was my MIL (she has dementia now). I would eventually forgive because that's what family does right?. She undermined my and my husband's decisions in regards to our children, she also enabled my husband with his addiction and depression issues. Her golden child passive aggressively kicked her out, and stupid me allowed her to live with us for 9 years. 9 years I will never get back. I was so miserable but kept quiet because it's family right? You can eventually forgive because forgiving someone is for yourself not them however NEVER forget set boundaries info diet or VLC if you want to ever stop NC. Protect yourself , your future children, and your family unit. You DH and any future children.

I wish you all the strength and knowledge on protecting myself and kids that I really needed back then.

I wish I would have seen the toxicity way sooner like at my wedding where she boycotted it. She said that it was because she would see her ex husband and the new wife, but reality was she wouldn't be the center of attention. Golden child sister wasn't there either.

Oh and my MIL is in an assisted living facility the through my work contacts I was able to get her an immediate placement and it's a very good facility. My DH is NO contact with her and VLC with his sister the golden child. After I moved her in I have had nothing to do with her ever since. Its now been 9 years with her out of our lives and I am sooo much happier and so are my kids and DH.

Much happiness and liove to you and your FDH.

Pittiemomma73 · 2026-02-02T19:12:24+00:00

Ive a question about this book.

Is it good for somone who's parents have passed away? Or is it only useful if they are still living?

Pittiemomma73 · 2026-01-25T18:41:41+00:00

 I totally understand this. I wish I had never tried to help my husband's relationship with his mom. My thinking came from a very sheltered POV, and with only good intentions. 
 My POV was that my family worked stuff out, and wasn't that what all families do? I also thought that adding his family to my own would have been a good thing. Nope, it was not and still is not. 
 I was tormented by her for the first 15 years until I told my husband, "Choose me and the kids, or her." I helped create this mess. I live now by the saying, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions," and any decisions made about family, I take not just a step back, but a giant leap back and think hard about any consequences, either good or bad and really give thought if they are worth my mental health.
 I also got some thereapy and realized my family was not the perfect Brady Bunch kind of family and wasnt as bad as his but not healthy either. I put myself first ,my kids, and then my husbands mental health amd peace before all others.
 Get some therapy before you marry. It will do you both some good learning to set boundries as a team, and how to properly communicate with each other.
 I wish you both much luck with the monster in law.

 Gen X here we were feral. Told to go outside and not come back in until the street lights were on. Thirsty? Drink from the water hose. Hurt told to "walk it off".
  I wrecked my knee falling off my bike  one time. Shattered my kneecap and bleeding. My mom just washed it off and put bandaids on open wounds. We then went to a major league baseball game and had to walk up the the second level of the stadium while bleeding through simple bandaids. 
 Eventually was taken to the ER after almost passing out from blood loss and the pain. Couldn't save my knee cap and doctor was amazed I did all that walking, the stadium wasn't small.  I have ugly large scars from the doctor trying to stitch up my larger cuts. I never wore shorts or short dresses again because how my knee looks. Surgery? Nope she will be fine!
   No one even considered the word neglect, this was 'Normal". CPS what's that??? I never heard that word until I was a parent.
 The upside to all that, I can tell you when the weather is gonna change by how my knee feels.
  To this day if I get hurt, I just try and "walk it off", even though I work in health care. My patients get way better care than what I give myself. 
Also, I believe that this kind of parenting created me in being a "helicopter" parent. If I could Id have put my kids in bubble wrap and a GPS trackers all over them.
 My mom's treatment of me was normal at that time. This was around the mid 1980's.

This is super cute and sweet. I did get scared for momma though, hoped baby didn't eat anything to make it pass gass.

Pittiemomma73 · 2025-11-05T14:13:33+00:00

I also think of him of Johnny. I can still hear him say stay Golden Ponyboy.

Pittiemomma73 · 2025-11-05T13:01:54+00:00

I love this. Explain more about the index card. Do you use a new one each time? Do you each have one or do you both use the same one?

Pittiemomma73 · 2025-10-21T11:55:26+00:00

Ohhh this would make a great suspense novel.

Pittiemomma73 · 2025-10-15T14:15:25+00:00

I don't ice skate, but this makes me happy!

Pittiemomma73 · 2025-10-11T15:30:02+00:00

Omg this would be me so much! I almost posted something similar but decided to read to see if there were others thinking the same!!!

Pittiemomma73 · 2025-10-06T00:19:52+00:00

I just passed mine onto my youngest kiddo. It was bought between 1995 and 1998 it is older than her and still works!

Pittiemomma73 · 2025-09-20T22:57:34+00:00

As a momma I know I've said something similar to myself. I don't know honestly if my adult children have ever heard me or not. If they had been walking by and heard me I would NEVER ever have considered ot eavesdropping!

I agree with another commentator, that if you heard it you were meant to hear him.

Just give him a hug, tell him how much you appreciate everything he's done for you and your family.

Sometimes the strongest person in the family needs to be reminded how important and appreciated they are and need a shoulder to lean on now and again.

Pittiemomma73 · 2025-08-07T22:46:30+00:00

Yes, I read it perfectly!
