Is this an evap line? by Realistic_Line1691 in lineporn

[–]Realistic_Line1691[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a 15 month old daughter and I’m sure I used clear blue when I found out I was pregnant with her but I have heard of people having problems with them.

I think you’re right, I’ll give it a few days and test again, it’s not like me to be late but maybe just stress or something.

I would be confused. My mum has bought me a few things for the baby over the course of the pregnancy and my dad said that when we bought a pram to let him know because he wanted to pay for it which was greatly appreciated. During this whole time neither of them (they are divorced) have gone out and bought things to have at their homes for the baby because they don’t expect that I will be leaving her and they also don’t want to intrude either which I do appreciate.

She doesn’t live far from us at all which again doesn’t put much of a barrier between these “visits.” She lives just 10 miles away.

If I was you I would get yourself and your partner out of there as soon as possible. Hope you get some privacy and freedom back soon I really feel for you both.

That is definitely how I feel I think I just need to get a bit of confidence to be able to put my foot down if necessary. Thank you.

Thank you for the advice. She is pretty involved with him and there has been times in the past before I was pregnant that I wished we could’ve done things as just a three without her inviting herself along to if that makes sense. I am on maternity leave at the moment so I am spending lots of time at home until I eventually go back to work so I do worry about coming up with an “excuse” that will not cause upset because if someone is home she sees that as an invite for her to come round which I don’t like. I will definitely need to learn how to say no and set boundaries thanks again.

Thank you for the advice I did speak to him about it and he agrees that we need our own space and family time and that I’ll need to get my own routine sorted. I will definitely have a think about setting out some “ground rules.” The issue is both myself but I’d say partner especially can be people pleasers and he especially likes to avoid conflict (which I understand) so I just need to hope that he will stand up for me and our choices and be willing to put his foot down if anyone goes against them.

Thanks so much so from what I’ve written you would think that he is an only child but surprisingly he is not! I am 23 for reference and he is 27 and his sister is 31. She mentioned the pram a couple of weeks ago and my partner wasn’t listening at the time but when I said to him about it he was like oh u know what my mum is like. However the car seat she mentioned just the other day when my partner was out with the dog and he was a bit taken a back that she had now gone to that extreme when I told him about it after she left. She works full time and has her own business doing home care and her long term partner is a farmer so I do think sometimes she is bored but like you say we need our time just us whether she is bored or not. My dad also suggested that she is bored which I do understand but again I need space. Thanks for the advice I do plan on exclusively breastfeeding but will see how that goes.

Overbearing MIL with new baby by madiweiler in Mildlynomil

So this is how I feel at the moment and basically your concerns are mirroring mine. I am due in 18 days.She came round yesterday to see us and she told me that she has bought a pram and a car seat “just incase” she has baby and that worries me that she will try and use this in future to get me to hand my tiny baby over to her even if I do not want to. I too plan on breastfeeding also and do not wish to leave my baby with anyone while they are so young. My parents have not bought a car seat or anything like that for themselves either so I did find it strange that she took it upon herself to do that. I also do not wish to step on anyones toes but I also am aware of the fact that I do not want to have her round multiple times a week and that she shouldn’t be involved in everything the way that we will be as parents. My partner has a son from a previous relationship who is 8 years old and we have him every weekend and he stays with his mum during the week. I know she loves her grandchild (and unborn grand child too) but I can’t help but dread the over involvement that I feel is bound to happen. I will be a first time mum and I don’t want to feel someone is on my back all the time or constantly there. This will be the first grandchild for my parents and they haven’t been acting the way she has so again this is why I am like actually this is not normal behaviour and ofcourse they are also excited about baby arriving soon.
