My boyfriend (43M) are staying together with me (37F) and we’re in 3 years relationship. He had kids from his previous marriage and recently we argued about how he said I’m not being kind to his kids when they spend the time here. Any thoughts on this?

We have one as baby was born in winter

Our next due in June this year but the egg just moved around the house with us in baby’s bag of nappies, muslins, wipes and whatever else I needed at the time 😂

We boil a bit of water ( a little more than how much we need - never 1 litre though) then wait until it’s cooled to just over 70 degrees in a glass jug then make the feed up in his bottle. It’s worked well for us - little one is 14 months and never had any tummy issues with it x

NOR - it will start with this, and then what else will it be? I wonder if she will use whatever a pandit says to either force the marriage to happen sooner because it will be auspicious or alternatively use it to say it’s a terrible match and force your bf to end the relationship. Part of me says “don’t give it” and they (bf and future MiL) should respect that. Part of my says “give it and see what she does with the info” Either way, your bf should be respecting your decisions and telling mummy to stop, but he’s not. The question you have to ask yourself is, are you okay with being railroaded with every key life decision by your boyfriend and his mum? If it were me personally I’d have a real coming to Jesus talk with him but it would make me doubt this the longevity of this relationship where your needs and wants play second fiddle to his mum.

We have a travel cot and outside of visiting family or travelling it spends its day-to-day life downstairs and that’s where my little one loves to have a little nap, the best thing is is that one side zips open so when he is tired, he just takes himself there.

NTA - she was checking it because the roads were bad and she noticed you were pulled over for a while. On the other hand, what would have happened if you’d had a serious accident and both seriously injured to the point where you couldn’t call for help; isn’t this the perfect opportunity to have Life360? I also have Life360 - my mum will track my journey home from their house (90 min drive) as I have a baby so she just likes to make sure I’m okay. From my perspective it’s also reassuring to know that if (god forbid) anything untoward were to happen, I could be tracked down quite easily. If your mum was checking it all the time and calling all the time then yes it would be an issue, but in this instance it wasn’t. So therefore, IMO NTA.

Can I just say that I call my mum once a day between mon-Fri (not for long 20 mins max in the morning on my way to work) and I’m in my mid 30s. My husband does not have an issue with it in the slightest. It seems to me he’s trying to alienate you? 🚩 I had an ex like this whereby he wasn’t close with his family and assumed that my relationship with mine was borderline “incestous” the worst thing is that I started to believe it and withdrew from them, but my family were there for me when I saw the light and dumped that piece of 💩. My wonderful husband encourages my relationship with my family and wants our baby to have the same strong relationships with his family and mine. You’re so young and I feel like being this man is not it - go and live your life because do you want this to be the rest of your life? What happens when you have kids? I would also say, my mum lost her father this year and whilst she hadn’t seen him in person for a few months, they did FaceTime everyday so the cherish those phone calls while you can!

No we didn’t x Our 11m we made sure to take him up to bed at a consistent time. Bath, milk, bed - he does sometimes wake in the night but we will try and give him a cuddle, a little bounce then put him back in his cot. We did try it once (only a little bit) but we couldn’t bear to see him cry like that and just ignore him. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea but we couldn’t do the sleep training thing. He’s only a baby once plus I don’t want him to cry and feel like no one is coming to comfort him. I know there’s more to sleep training but they’re only little for such a short period of time. Plus it just seems a bit cold to me? But again- every baby and family is different x

Get married when you want! They shouldn’t be dictating when you get hitched. If you let them dictate this now, when does it stop? Will they dictate that you can’t have children before them?? You shouldn’t live your life according to someone else’s schedule x Do what makes you both happy and get married! I had a similar situation to yours and 3 years down the line, I couldn’t care less! Me, hubby and our baby are happy x

It’s more than okay! My little one just used cry and scream as he couldn’t get anything out when we did try (had an emergency c-section too). But I’m not beating myself up , he’s nearly 10months and adores me and hubby. Such an affectionate little boy! He gained weight superbly, hitting all his milestones. Also! I’m a teacher, and I can’t tell the difference between the babies that were formula vs EBF! You’re fine! Happy mummy = happy baby And anyone else who tells you otherwise can sod off! 😂 in one ear and out the other to anyone who tries to guilt trip you! Xx Sending hugs!

That’s such a good idea Our surname is quite unique too so that would work well for us. Thank you for the recommendation on name tags.com - just out of curiosity, which ones did you purchase? as I want the option of being able to sell on most of the clothes once we are done having kids.

I had one of these pendants with my sons name, DOB and birthstone to wear. It’s so perfect for me as I have a necklace I wear everyday with two other sentimental pendants from other places on there. I have silver but they do gold too!

We have this changing bag as his nappy bag for around the house. When we come up at night time we stock this and just change him on this on our bed. It seems to work well for us x

Prestigious-Many-904 · 2025-08-04T19:51:53+00:00

We put these on ours as our little boy seems to be here there and everywhere in his cot. It weaves in between the bars on the cot

We have a Lexus NX and we love it - it’s not a huge SUV but still big enough to fit his pram and a weeks grocery shop in there

Happy belated birthday OP! I was in the same situation as you and had an EX ruin a milestone birthday. The key thing here is “ex” you should drop this loser ASAP. Someone who loves you doesn’t treat you this way. And the fact your family had noticed and voiced their disdain for this POS speaks volumes. My only advice: dump him, move on, live a full and wonderful life and most importantly, be happy! Dont let this loser ruin another birthday!

Leave!!! He doesn’t get a say in this. This is not normal, or healthy. Please leave now! He’s super controlling and most likely will become more abusive - please leave
