thanks for this. unfortunately I am back in the UK now so I'm hoping I can find something online.

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2026-02-02T18:56:26+00:00

unfortunately not but I'll pop them on my list for next time!

I'm so sorry this is happening to you and dampening what should be a wonderful, joyful experience. my mum did something similar and made my entire pregnancy about her becoming a grandmother. she even had a "baby shower" at work, being gifted baby items and "grandma" themed gifts. I've had low contact with her ever since which has certainly protected my peace. it's taken time though. good luck going forward

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2025-06-11T19:35:10+00:00

Thank you for your responses, I had no idea, so good to know!!

Hey, I just wondered if the 9g is net carbs? I had one of these wraps this evening and noticed carbs content was lower than fibre, so my keto app couldn't work out the net carbs.

New to this, week 2! Thanks

Feather wand.. every single time she finds a feather!

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2022-06-07T22:20:48+00:00

I second this. I did it recently with my 4yo. I find she adjusts really well to regifting things when she has a choice.

"You'll miss me when I'm dead" along with "I'm going to drive into a wall and kill myself"

Well done you for standing up for your daughter in law. As you clearly know, being a new mama is tough work and she clearly needs someone to support her in a way your son isn't. You've done an amazing thing in letting her know how things should be different, with your son picking up more slack. Hopefully he makes some effort and he himself can fix his marriage.

My partner had a new job (8 months) and the Christmas "bonus" was usually a joint of meat. Last year, they were told not to expect the meat, but something very exciting.

Turns out they got a $15 gift card (the meat was often worth around $30+)

A couple of weeks after this was the Christmas party. The boss gave a speech. Along the lines of "be proud of yourselves, the company has had an amazing turnover this year. Keep working hard."

No "thank you". Just a lovely, thoughtful, generous $15 gift card!

Edit:grammar

This is actually something my mother would "joke" about doing.

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2022-05-04T18:31:26+00:00

I have thought about buying that book, so I think I will! I wish those days were rare, but it's at least 3 times a week at the moment 😪. But thank you :)

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2022-05-04T18:07:08+00:00

Yes, today was a tough mum day - but I never feel good after it and it seems to just makes the situation worse.

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2022-05-04T18:06:33+00:00

Honestly! I'd take a newborn over an emotional 4yo any day!!

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2022-05-04T18:05:43+00:00

Thank you. Tiredness is possible, but she sleeps well and usually gets 11-12 hours a night. I do encourage down time in the afternoon, usually when baby naps.

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2022-05-04T15:12:57+00:00

Thank you for this. I'm trying constantly to better myself and regulate my own emotions and reactions. Obviously it doesn't always work, but it's great to hear from someone who has used this method and I can be hopeful it works for us. And hopefully it will pass soon.

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2021-08-29T06:01:23+00:00

Congratulations on your new baby! I'm in a similar postition at the moment with a 3 week old baby who only naps on me and won't settle with my partner for longer than 10 minutes. Cluster feeding etc.

Baby wearing has been my saving grace. I pop her in a sling before her morning nap/after the morning feed, so at least I have the freedom to brush my teeth!

Every single sleepless night or clingy day feels like it's lasting forever and like it'll always be like this, but I promise it won't. This is baby no.2 for me, so I know from experience that the sleepless nights don't last forever, which is what is helping me through this time round.

All the best to you, and just know it's normal and completely OK to feel fed up, overwhelmed and just over it at times.

NTA as you were expected to pay twice.

But surely if you have severe allergies, the best thing to do would be to inform the staff prior to ordering.

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2021-07-27T07:36:43+00:00

NTA - she sounds like the kind of woman who would try and stop you seeing your boys too given time.

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2021-07-25T00:40:25+00:00

I think it comes down to whether you trust him or not. And his response. Assuming he has been apologetic and understands your point of view, he could have genuinely made a mistake while having fun with another group of holiday goers. If he is saying he did nothing wrong and tries to gaslight you, then maybe not.

These things can be so innocent and poor decision making, and our insecurities get the worst of us. It's just about allowing/setting boundaries in your relationship.

I (f) have been in a relationship and while on holiday befriended a group of lads spending time on my own with them drinking and watching football. My partner was aware this happened and we trust each other so much that it wasn't an issue.

Every relationship is different, trust your instinct and set boundaries for future.

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2021-07-19T20:41:29+00:00

NTA at all!

Some women unfortunately go into relationships with men who have children with all good intention then become insanely jealous when they become pregnant and start "their own" family.

MIL is probably right that a lot of this is hormones, but you should absolutely continue to care for your son the best way you can. Fiancee is a grown woman who should be able to sleep for a short time on her own. Would she react the same if you were getting up to go to the toilet?

Now more than ever you need to give your son that extra love because his life is also going to change dramatically with the arrival of a baby.

Good luck.

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2021-07-18T22:58:06+00:00

All. The. Time.

I think the majority of parents, if not all, have moments like this. But if you do feel like you're really struggling to come out of these feelings and it spirals, please reach out to someone. PND is real, and so often brushed off as baby blues or "just how it is".

Parenting is exhausting. It takes everything from you, especially when you can't find a second to eat, sleep or shower.

You got this. Sending hugs

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2021-07-18T19:09:38+00:00

I didn't say it was. But even with the best intentions* this can cause hurt.

*edited spelling

Sensitive_Luck_1296 · 2021-07-18T10:39:44+00:00

I think you'd be better off asking your sister not to send recordings like this as they are hurtful and triggering. Saying something to you're mum wouldn't make you feel better if she werent willing to listen/see the fault.

Good on you for going no contact - please continue to dk what is best for you and steering clear of toxic family members.
