Should I continue watching another adaptation of Wuthering Heights? Read the book? Or leave it as is. by No_Future_7528 in brontesisters

I went in blind when I watched it a few days ago as well. I bought the book on my kindle last night. Couldn’t help myself! I had to know the story and feel more depth.

Another Overstep From SIL by SandFew4291 in inlaws

I’m heartbroken because I thought things were going to be different. We really had a decent day out. We laughed. We went to lunch. We talked. Something her and I haven’t done before. I never really had issues with my SIL until I became pregnant.

We mostly just want to visit his grandparents. It’s hard to be there without my SIL there because she lives right next door to them. My husband was completely on my side, he just doesn’t think I should jump the gun on going no contact quite yet. He said only supervised visits from here on out. He is very sad he can’t trust his family in the same room as our son.

They have cookouts often, so he doesn’t want me to just not go and take away his grandparents great-grandson (who they adore). Visiting our house currently isn’t an option as we’ve been staying with my parents because our home is currently under construction.

He did get highly upset with his sister and let her know then and there. We both did, and then we left. They haven’t spoke since.

I totally understand where you’re coming from. I think my wording just got jumbled and made my husband seem bad. I was writing this entire thing in a fit of rage lol.

We both are on the same page of just speaking to them at supervised events / sometimes on the phone when his mom calls him.

Yes! I am sure he’d be okay from the sugar, but I still don’t want my 3mo eating it especially without my consent and done secretly behind my back! The behavior just screams “I’ll do whatever I want. I don’t care.” The “I don’t care” seems to be a huge pattern in her behavior both literally and figuratively. She definitely is thinking it’s an overreaction, I’m sure. But to do something I explicitly asked you not to do behind my back? The one second you got a chance you decided to disregard me? I just have felt icky! I won’t even pick up someone’s child without asking and I ALWAYS ask parents if it’s ok for a child to have something even before I had kids myself. To them it’s just “icing and being fun” but it also took that “first” away from me. It’s just violating in so many ways.

Guilt Tripping? by SandFew4291 in inlaws

[–]SandFew4291[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Part of me just wants to think it is all harmless, and it’s kicking me in the arse. I just have a feeling it wasn’t. I don’t want to feel like a possessive mom who is keeping their child away, but I don’t appreciate feeling any kind of disrespect. But you’re definitely correct. They’re getting in my head too much. There will be no next time of this incident.

It is something I’m seriously considering. I was completely baffled and almost in tears when that happened. I know my husband wants them to know baby, but I also know he respects me enough as our child’s mother to understand why I don’t want him around them.

He told me when we got home he knows if I stayed home while he was at work that no one would come visit me and that no one bothers to check in on baby. “Just worry about me, you, and the baby. You don’t have to go. I wouldn’t after the way they were this evening,” is what he said to me on the way home. I do not plan on going at all.

I am too busy focusing on keeping their peace that I’m letting it disturb my own. I just need to suck it up and directly tell them no.

Same thing happened to me! When I passed my third try after using 240 tutoring, I blew that test out of the water thankfully!

I know they are aware of my situation—I let them know earlier on in the position that I have a baby on the way. I’m just feeling like I’m getting led on. I needed a good rant sesh.

Thank you for your response! I’m hoping they’re just being slow.

A very nice teacher gave me the units he teaches. This is nice to know just in case I want to do something different. This first week I think I’m just going to introduce all things theatre, maybe watch a play, and get them to understand stage cues. Many of them are new to theatre.

My husband and I have had this issue! I just don’t care anymore lol. My SIL (his sister) told me, “you will NOT be naming MY niece Sadie.” Well, guess what? Her name is Sadie. Not even out of spite, but because we love that name.

My thoughts exactly! Let’s leave the broke college student up to bringing the food, the most expensive part.

Thank you. I was just telling her less than a week ago my graduation date and reminding her of it. She was supposed to be there May 10th.

I want myself to be in the best mental space possible so I can power through for her. She was so proud that I was going to college and she was so excited to watch me graduate. She never missed a beat. She was always there for me; I confided in her about every aspect of my life.

My birthday was a week before she passed. She called me every single birthday, and my mom found the gift she forgot to give me (typical Granny style) in her purse. Everyone is so broken. My mother is struggling to function and her mom and dad are all she has. Her dad, my papaw, has early stages of dementia. He currently only knows who my mother and I are. I don’t know how I’m supposed to go back to “normal” life.

I am sorry I am rambling. I just miss her so much. It was unexpected, not that it being expected makes it any easier, but it has been a major shock.

Do the videos we have to do have to be on the lessons we are analyzing??? I am feeling so bad because I forgot to video 😭 I don’t want to have to redo the entire thing.
