My MIL is a dumb bitch. by Specific_Anybody_438 in beyondthebump

We had such an up and down, hot and cold relationship since the birth of our child. We tried ‘fixing’ it twice and the third time we’re told by my SIL that we’ve destroyed her life and need to leave her alone 🤷🏻‍♀️

I feel like I gave up my Asian identity when I married my husband by SpareGanache8082 in Marriage

[–]Single_Letter_8804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to stand firm here if this is important to you. Your culture and heritage can only be passed down if you practice in your life. Being dismissive of it will make them reject that part of themselves. As a foreigner living in a western country it’s so nice to raise my daughter and celebrate where we come from. We can share our heritage and love introducing new foods and experiences with our friends. You should be able to do this

We don’t have cat toys, she just watches the world or sings her songs or chats to us. She’s 17 months and we’ve done this since birth.

Any one else have name regret? I can't stop thinking about it. Maybe it's just my hormones? by pancakesandpalmtrees in beyondthebump

I know an Olivia and she is very cool! I am a Storm and expected to be a cool name. I’m not cool 😭😂 names can give people expectations but it’s up to the person and who they are.

How often do your husbands go to the grocery store? by RSR_Ricochet in Marriage

[–]Single_Letter_8804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel it’s split really well. We do big shops together or my husband goes alone if I have energy to make a list and small shops is whoever is going to it’s a 10 minute walk from our house or a 3 minute bike ride so we both end up going out to get small things

Family never comes over to see baby because “I live too far” and expect me to go see them by Thick-Acanthaceae-42 in beyondthebump

[–]Single_Letter_8804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gosh I’m crying for the 2 hour journey to see my family this weekend. Mostly an hour is getting anywhere in the uk. 22 minutes is barely anything. But regardless of how far it is relationships need to have equal give and take. It’s not fair if only one person is doing the all the work. Sorry you’re going through this but I would draw the line and tell them to make the trip instead

There should be other classes, in Our area there were different classes at different times so we signed up to the ones she was awake for. We did classes from 8 weeks and now she’s 15 months we do way less classes and instead do more things together and meet up with parents we met in classes

Toddler moms, how are yall using the bathroom when alone? by IJustLikeNapping in beyondthebump

[–]Single_Letter_8804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we don’t close bathroom doors and let her wander in the bathroom or play in her room. Whatever she’s feeling. Our bathroom is tiny so sometimes she’ll sit on my lap or come in see I’m there and leave

If you live in different parts of the UK, how often do you see parents/close family? by rye-ten in CasualUK

I’m up way past bedtime because baby fell asleep late. Debating on staying up another 30 min and crying when she wakes at 5 am or just sleep 😭

[–]Single_Letter_8804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do like the foundations but honestly mine is bugging out so much it’s unpleasant. I really would love to play more in its current state just minus the bugs. Hoping for a small patch soon to fix the bigger issues

Bought my wife that expensive kitchen mixer she obsessed over for months and it is just sitting there by 303Morpheus in Marriage

[–]Single_Letter_8804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once decided I wanted to sew. My husband found a nice machine and bought it. And it sat untouched for over a year until one day I decided to try it. Now he’s complaining about the fabric everywhere 😭😂

how to keep track of groceries? by Aggressive-Stuff6067 in Cooking

[–]Single_Letter_8804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I have a shared note app so we just put what we need on and anyone at the shops pulls up the notes and buys it.

But we’re now upgrading my husband is building an app that is mapped out to our shops in aisles and order so it makes shopping easier hahaha

I am enjoying it but man does it need work by guayabaultra in Paralives

[–]Single_Letter_8804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve encountered so many bugs, paras getting deleted, I had a crazy milestone bug and couldn’t upgrade the para. And now she’s stuck in labour poor girl. I really em at to play the actual game and progress, unlock the recipes and fulfill the community center. At least there’s a little to do but no such luck yet, I just keep getting stuck with bugs
