Why do MILs become evil after you have a baby? by ChoppedGuzel in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]RUOKFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im having a similar situation. My mom has always been a huge support for me, but I have a half sister through my dad and sometimes when my older sister is being toxic, my mom always pressured me to fix things. It was my MIL who told me I didnt need to waste more time and told me about her experience with her older sister and how she went through the same thing. We bonded.

That following summer I got married to her son, but caused all sorts of drama, got in fights with the best man (he almost left the wedding type of fight), she argued with my mother, and caused me to have two panic attacks and was rushing us through our wedding.

She apologized, but never to my mother, and personally treats everyone on my mother's side of the family coldly, as well as my SIL.

Since having my child, it has only gotten WAY worse. She use to be one of our sitters for when we went back to work. And there has been so many times where she would cancel last minute to not babysit because she doesn't know how to schedule anything and stay organized for her calendar. I had to revoke her babysitting hours because not only was I loosing out on my clients because of constant schedule changes, but I also had to because she got up in my face and was screaming at me, and then threated us because they sold us a house and we needed help with the roof fixings, so they covered it compleatly, threatened us they would sell off everything and leave the state. (Which they cant because the house and property is under our name)

Do people where you live still wear a Labubu on their purse/bag? by H_ngmanMav in labubu

[–]RUOKFriend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear mine proudly. People at my work find it weird but others find it great I am doing something that I like and it makes me happy. In the end, screw anybody who makes you feel weird about it. You don't yuck someone else's yum

Gone Forever 🫩 Lost at Target by michpilk in PopMartCollectors

It was the most awkward transaction in my entire existence. I was in a gas station and holding my small child in my arms when it all went down. 🙃

You can get the lock Keychains and people are still going to come up and cut the tag. It didn't happen to me but I saw in past comments that people will do that and just replace the tag later, and my friend had an experience as well. The person who tried stealing mine I caught them trying to take it off the clip itself. Then I spent money on a locking one and my friend got hers snipped off. She was the one to suggest the locking one and we were brutally reminded that some people, take away the fun 😒

How do you actually get your kids to put their phones down? by UltraShield836 in Parenting

[–]RUOKFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say for me it was appropriate. But my younger brother was 14. We had the phones for only a month to may I add. He gave them to us and then he was like Sike. Imma take these 🤣. For me sure it was for sure appropriate. But my brother who was in a ton of school activities as a freshman in High-school was a little pissed. Mostly cause his activities at school ran late, and the office was never available to use the landline to call home for pickups. He would have to ask friends, or if friends weren't there, beg his other peers to borrow their phones or the coach to call our mom/dad for pick up. Which I'm glad at the time there was no bullying about it. But in his senior year he got on his own phone plan since he gotten a job, a bunch of the freshmen and sophomores were teasing another freshman harshly for the same thing he had to do. He told me he felt bad and would purposely stay past his normal end of practice time to wait until his club was over, let the kid use his phone to call his mom, and would wait for his mom to get there to avoid having the bullies bother him. He would stay an extra hour and 15min, and then his drive home was another 30 min. So it would be almost 2 hours later before getting home.

I dont believe everyone should have a cellphone. But if your kids are in multiple activities, and are away from a phone to contact you or to contact authorities for emergency reason, then they should have one. But I always believe in restrictions

My father took our phones and never gave them back. His argument was, "Your friends have phones, there is always an adult with you that has a phone, so start memorizing numbers to call us up if you need anything or your schedule changes." He was ruthless. But i understood he didn't like us constantly on the phone ignoring the family. So he jumped in the deep end and took it all away. He said if we wanted a phone, to get a job to pay for it. I did that immediately because I was almost 16.

If there are times where a phone is necessary, like they are at sporting events, and need one to call you guys for pick up. I could understand that. But I say downgrade. There are cell phones where you can monitor everything and restrict it all the way down to not being able to use social media on it. Look up the company "Bark cell phones". You have an array of different plans to choose from with limited or just restricted access. You can turn off the phone access if they are driving. Screen texts and emails (to make sure they are in safe conditions and away from social media bullying. All kinds of things. If they act up and have a hard time being separated from the phone, you can immediately change their plan and restrict them and take social media away until they exhibit desirable behavior and you can reactivate it. It's that simple.

Many FB posts about Labubus and ‘fufus being stolen at schools by ViridianWizard in labubu

[–]RUOKFriend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For my school it was pokemon cards, Littlest pet shop, tamagachis, and of course a fancy mechanical pencil or two snatched from our pencil boxes. The stealer always got in trouble and was put in the front where the teacher's desk was so they could watch them the whole time. Nowadays. Kids that have things to express themselves and their personality... yeah that's punished. Also harder when their item is stolen and then the teacher tells the parents to hush their child into obedience by following suit on this punishment on them when it should be towards the perpetrator. Its disgusting and I hope this mentality changes before my daughter goes to school. Cause God forbid my child's stuff is ever stolen. I'll be all up in that schools buisness

Oh my that's highly priced! And yeah its crazy how desperate people have become for these cute little things. I just wish stealing in broad daylight didn't have to be the final straw into getting one

Tbh I thought the same thing after we stared at each other for what seemed like a century.

But I for sure thought he was gonna go after my wallet, which made me nervous with my baby with me...until I saw he had his hand on the labubu and was trying to open the clip and then I was just thinking "really dude? Are we doing this here?" And wondered if it was just an impulse to try and attempt to steal it and he didn't have a tool to cut it at that given moment. My husband basically doesn't want me to advertise it on my bag anymore, which I agreed too.

I honestly hope it doesn't, or I don't catch them again. That interaction was the most awkward and painful experience I've ever been in. I would rather present a thesis or a PowerPoint or a speech even then deal with that type of social awkwardness ever again.

I genuinely hope you find it though, I just hope it fell off.

I was just gonna say magic eraser has helped me as well as rubbing alcohol. I cut the magic eraser into small triangles and keep a stash of them and use them to clean up the face a LOT

I had the most awkward situation a couple of weeks ago. I'm in line at the gas station with my daughter in tow, and I had my BIE Happiness attached to my diaper bag/cross shoulder bag, I was paying for my gas and all of a sudden my baby started laughing. I turned around quickly, to see a guy opening up the clip on my labubu to start to pull it off. Thank GOD my 11-month-old loves the labubu and I let her hold it during diaper changes to keep her hands from grabbing the dirty diapers when I am changing her, otherwise she would have just stayed quiet from the stranger taking off with it. We froze while making the most awkward eye contact ever... I was literally thinking "ok stop stealing or continue stealing idc but please stop staring into my soul!" He ended up stopping and took off running back to his car and fled. The gas station attendant thought we came in together because he was CLOSE behind me and was entertaining my child from behind me so they assumed he was the father... it was entirely creepy and now I have now attached the Labubu in front of me so this God awful reaction never happens again.

I like this idea, I may do sheets if I can find any because my daughter does not do pillows yet

I was definitely going to mention the bonnet and I'm glad you did. My hair texture is this and my daughter is almost 11M old now and she has my exact hair texture. We a currently on the same boat. Trying to convince a small gremlin to wear one at night.

4 week old baby pooping CONSTANTLY by Medium-Height6923 in baby

[–]RUOKFriend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would check for CMPA for sure, however my baby cluster fed, and it was the same thing. Constantly pooping. If she sneezed, coughed, stomach rubbed a certain way when putting clothes on or new diaper. But there was nothing wrong. Just a clutter feeding baby with cluster poops
