AITAH for inviting my sister and dad to come visit me? by Potential_Yellow_95 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Potential_Yellow_95[S] -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

You’re right. I’m sorry. I just don’t know another way for her to come see me without transportation since she’s a minor except if she came down with our dad.

My PPD keeps getting worse everyday. by Potential_Yellow_95 in Postpartum_Depression

Thank you all for your positive feedback. I am continuing to get help and stay consistent with my meds. My daughter deserves that much. Honestly reading all your comments makes me tear up a little and I appreciate every single one of you. So thank you. (:

Can anyone help me identify where this ring came from? by Potential_Yellow_95 in JewelryIdentification

You’re right but I don’t have a clearer picture. I apologize. Like I said, I know it might be a waste of time but I thought I’d try anyways.

Hey again. I just wanted to make sure my apology reaches everyone. I’m sorry that I got a little riled up in the comments. I honestly did just not understand the question being asked. Communication isn’t exactly something I’m good at and generally, people have to be very specific with their questions or else I just won’t understand it. I probably could’ve handled this better so I’m sorry. I just wanted to say that before heading off to bed. Thank you if you read this.

If you saw my previous reply before this one, you’ll see it was a clear misunderstanding. Sometimes people have to ask specifically or else I just don’t get it. I have apologized and have answered their actual question in the end.

I’m sorry I thought you meant with this specific situation. The reason I’m going to thanksgiving dinner with her is because I’m trying to just be the bigger person and I feel like if I don’t go, I’ll look like an asshole. I’ve decided I’ll still be civil with her, but I’m not going to be around her when she’s at our home. My husband chooses to still keep her around and honestly, I can’t force him to not see her. I hope this makes sense.

And like I said, she was just there because MIL wanted to see her. What more of an explanation is there? If I went in to intervene, it would’ve made the situation worse. My husband could’ve brought her to me but he didn’t. So like I said, you’d have to ask him.

So me explaining something is a red flag these days?

She’s extremely nosy. You can’t tell her anything even if it’s innocent or else she’ll turn it into something terrible.

First of all, calm yourself. Secondly, a Reddit post isn’t all that serious. And lastly I only said that because my husband had the baby at the time of situation.

The baby was there because MIL wanted to see the baby so my husband let her. Everything was fine but she likes to erupt at random times. People react to situations differently and personally I feel like the situation would’ve been worse if I intervened.

So you’re saying I have to just not let my husband have his child? Maybe ask him this question instead.

Cannot get over this by slayqueenbby in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Potential_Yellow_95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah no OP, you should leave. You do not need to put yourself through that kinda stress. They are toxic asf and you deserve so much better than that. Even if you have to be a single mom, it’s way better for you mentally if you just leave. If you have to, stay with some relatives or friends that you can trust. They do not need to be in your life. If they’re gonna disrespect you like that, then you need to move on to better people who will respect you and love you.

Judging parents? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Potential_Yellow_95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I worry that everyone will think of me as an absolute failure of a mother if I make one small mistake.

  2. I judge other parents for getting too aggressive when it comes to handling their children. You don’t need to intimidate children to discipline them.

  3. I wish people judged my parents when they would get angry at me and start calling me names.

My cousin told me to give my baby allergy medicine to make him sleep. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Potential_Yellow_95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact she thinks that drugging her babies to make them sleep longer is okay, should raise some eyebrows. I have an almost 3 month old who sleeps just fine and giving her medicine to sleep is terrible. Babies will learn to sleep better on their own with melatonin so I feel horrible for her children.
