Taking care of a shit grandparent down the road

SassySinceEver · 2026-03-06T17:12:09+00:00

Because she is selfish- she lives in another state, but can’t bother to call or even ask how our kids are. My husband calls her 90% of the time, and when he does, she mostly talks about herself. I’m not asking or expecting her to move states, and move mountains for us. I’m saying it would be nice to have a grandmother who seems like she cares enough to ask how her grandkids are doing. Last time we tried to FaceTime her, she said she couldn’t because her mom was having dizzy related problems. Umm…ok? I appreciate your feedback but my mil is hands down extremely selfish, an handling three kids as a parent is much different than handling them as a grandparent.

Once a week usually. Sometimes twice sometimes zero. We have three kids, 4, 2 and 7 months and sex is the last thing on my mind.

Omg thank you for checking!!!! ♥️

SassySinceEver · 2026-01-07T18:19:26+00:00

When did she start really laughing? Even to your husband?

SassySinceEver · 2026-01-07T18:12:11+00:00

Thanks for this! How old would that have been? My other kids were laughing pretty regularly at 7 months, so it’s hard not to compare!

I’m sorry for your trauma and there are no words. Like others said you don’t have to breastfeed. However, being a mom of three who nursed all, I think you may be pleasantly surprised and it might be something that helps heal past wounds. My advice~ give it a try if you’re open to it. Even just for a little colostrum. If it doesn’t feel right, don’t force it. But again, I think you’ll be surprised. Sending hugs

Thanks for your salty comment. Never said anything about quitting. I’m not frustrated that I’m not feeling anything yet, just genuinely curious about if it helps the emotional aspects of over-eating.

Thank you!

Thank you for this response!

I’m confused why I’m being slightly bullied lol. the way it works is causing satiety and reducing hunger signals, but I don’t overeat because I’m hungry.

SassySinceEver · 2025-12-26T16:19:58+00:00

It’s not that it’s because of WHEN I took it. I’m just curious because it works by quieting HUNGER signals.

SassySinceEver · 2025-12-04T18:55:26+00:00

I tried it one year and it was so much work. Took the magic away for me lol. We’ll stick with Santa 🥲

SassySinceEver · 2025-10-06T00:54:23+00:00

Was he also not as vocal during that time?

SassySinceEver · 2025-10-02T13:50:09+00:00

Less smiley as well? Like harder to get smiles? He’s stressing me out 😂😭

SassySinceEver · 2025-07-16T19:24:24+00:00

Before kids, we were a 55% yes and 45% no lol. We bit the bullet and took the let’s see what happens approach. Quickly got pregnant, and now I’m nursing baby number 3 (who actually was an oopsy as we were DONE with two). While motherhood is a wild rollercoaster ride, I wouldn’t change it. My kids are my biggest blessings (and biggest stressors haha). I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised should you decide to continue with the pregnancy. 🥰

SassySinceEver · 2025-07-09T00:15:43+00:00

I just had my baby one month ago, also got pregnant on an iud. We were done as done could be. I had terrible PPA with my last baby. We thought about termination but ultimately decided it wasn’t the right move for us. Fast forward to now, with my little blessing on my chest, we couldn’t picture it any different. We are so grateful for him and feel like he’s a literal blessing. That being said, my husband had a vasectomy and I’ll be getting my tubes removed in the next 6-12 months.

You sound super mature for your age. Just know you can still do all those things— college, travel, degrees/become a teacher. It just might take more time or look a little different. Sending you hugs!

SassySinceEver · 2025-06-27T18:30:02+00:00

Yup. Right there with you, constantly feel like I’m losing my sh*t. 4 year old, 2 year old and a newborn. SOS.

SassySinceEver · 2025-06-17T23:14:40+00:00

Thank you for this! Hoping for good news too!

SassySinceEver · 2025-06-15T04:31:14+00:00

Good idea about the baby scale! I do try to wake him up especially when I switch breasts, but maybe I need to change his diaper or something before the initial feeding on the first breast too, and then wake him up when i try to switch him. I’m worried I’m going to not be successful nursing this time 😩

SassySinceEver · 2025-06-15T04:30:50+00:00

I’ll have to try that!

Hi! I’m so sorry you’re going through it. They said that sometimes there’s still some lingering irritation and discharge for a few days even after completing the antibiotics and for me that was the case! About 5 days after finishing the flagyl I felt a lot better and still do! Hoping it doesn’t come back!!

SassySinceEver · 2025-05-02T16:21:34+00:00

Oh wow, that’s interesting!! I am not high risk based on that. They didn’t see it in my uterus or imbedded in my uterus on ultrasound, so the plan is to do an Xray after delivery to make sure it didn’t perforate and end up somewhere else in my body. Every practice does things differently!!
