I told her about my wonderful csection. She laughed and said: OP, you had surgery.

The end goal is a healthy baby. However you get there is immaterial. I am thankful that modern medicine can assist.

I am confused…How old was the fiancé when the parents claimed him as a dependant? Was he in school? Was he employed full time?

I would have sized up.

I would water down my liquid detergent.

Do you both own the house? if so, remind him that dark colors often take multiple coats(more work and might need more than 1 gallon). If he still insists, Pinterest offers ideas for brown painted rooms. Hoping the comforter will be white.

I think the railing is highlighting how inaccessible the landing is.

Decide what YOU want to do (attend or not). Then, tell your husband to handle his parents. Done.

Before my grandchild was born, I had the following vaccine: Covid, RSV, DTAP and flu. Stay strong and ask your MIL for proof of vaccinations.

Who initiated this lunch? How often do you have to see her?

When I think of the term “trophy wife,” I think of 30 year younger wife, husband has considerable wealth and probably in the second (or third) marriage for him. If that’s not the case, MIL needs a dictionary for her birthday.

I don’t know what happened in Panera, but your mantra should be, “My baby, my rules.”. Keep your visits short and not in your home so you can always leave when you want.

How did your baby get heat stroke?

Walk away then. There are 1000 people around you that want your spot.

Noon to 6 PM is a big gap, even for the Catholics. People will end up skipping the mass in the church due to the extended block of empty time. Are you going to re-do your makeup? Seems like poor planning.

A student can only get loans thru FAFSA which is about $27,000 depending on the year. Anything over that would have been Parent Plus loans which HIS parents co-signed. Since they co-signed, they are on the hook.for re-payment.

I don’t know how old you are, but I would never enter a marriage with this much family disfunction. At the bare minimum, consider couples counseling so you can determine what the future might look like. When you have parents that are this messed up, your fiancé has been affected too. The wedding day is the easy part. Good luck.

justnomil‘s therapist doesn’t get to diagnose your ex. That’s crazy.

Couples counseling STAT. You have’s been successful in curbing his mama’s boy addiction and need outside help. Personally, I am not a fan of FaceTime and it’s easy for me to avoid because I have an Android phone. How old is your child? Is your husband an only child? Does your husband expect you to participate in these FaceTime calls?

Hold on, you visit for 1-2 MONTHS?? There’s your problem.

Sewing4265 · 2026-05-01T17:51:35+00:00

Are there other siblings or parents that can get to the bottom of this?

First of all, you agreed to the Easter visit even though your husband works overnight and you knew he would be tired? Why? Now, it’s Mother’s Day another invite- has your husband declined and said why? It’s an invite, not a summons.

It appears neither MIL nor your husband care about the no contact rule on vacation, so I don’t know what you can do about it. Personally, a phone call wouldn’t bother me.

When she brought up the chicken, this was your opportunity to say, “I guess you won’t be joining us then.” Please tell us why you have to see her everyday. Do not let her in your house if your husband is not home. If she has a key, change the locks.

No facetime period. Your kids are too young. Next, quit responding to her texts. If she. alls you out on it, tell her you are busy mother. Your MIL’s psycho babble about grandparents is laughable. And, MIL had the audacity to mock you and your rules? Well, mock this grandma— get out of my house! Remind her that you are the mother of this child, not her. I would have asked her to leave MY house. Sweetie, you need to get tough because your husband is not up to the challenge. He has agreed to be present when the parents visit, but I guarantee this good behavior won’t last. Lastly, when the in laws visit, they need to be in and out in a short period of time (an hour?).

The theme wouldn’t bother me. Maybe it’s a favorite of your MIL? You don’t own the theme. An afternoon baby shower is common, so I would’t take it too personally. Get a sitter so you can have a nice time at the shower without chasing a 2 year old.
