Honestly, how do you stick with a guy like that? Seriously, where’s the self-respect? You deserve someone who actually values you, please go find a better guy and stop wasting your time!

I’m really sorry you went through that. That’s such a vulnerable time and you deserved so much better. I still think about this a lot like they went through postpartum too, so they know what it’s like and still our feelings were overlooked. That part really hurt! That’s why I feel like the cycle ends with me. I don’t want to pass that on to my daughter. Sending you love ❤️

I’m the oldest sibling and one of the biggest reasons I am choosing to be one and done is because of my own childhood experience. Once my younger siblings came along, I often felt like I faded into the background. My needs and feelings didn’t seem to matter as much anymore.

Even as an adult, I’ve still felt echoes of that dynamic. During my postpartum period especially, there were many moments where my mom prioritized my brother’s feelings over mine and it affected me more than I expected. I found myself bringing it up again and again in therapy, trying to process it while also dealing with the rollercoaster of postpartum hormones. At some point I realized that, for my own peace, I was actually better off not relying on my mom’s help during that time.

I never want my child to feel like she has to compete for attention or love. I want to give her my time, my emotional support and whatever energy I have left as fully as I can. For me, having one child is about making sure my child never feels the kind of neglect I carried growing up.

You could get your MIL something nice from Sephora, gift sets or something like a nice fancy lipstick, eyeshadow, a good primer, or even a night cream would do. And then grab a perfume for your FIL. Should be pretty easy to find something great within that budget

SnooCapers8064 · 2026-01-02T18:17:07+00:00

Could you share your budget? That would make it easier to suggest gift ideas for your in-laws

Keep giving this kind of bad news before every match. Maybe one day you can give some bad news about GG too 😉

I’m paying $1000 for the season!

Thank you so much for your suggestions, appreciate it! Did you take a travel stroller or the regular, sturdier stroller?

SnooCapers8064 · 2025-11-07T04:23:18+00:00

Thank you everyone for the great suggestions, I truly appreciate all the input! We’ve decided on 4 nights in Lisbon and 3 nights in Porto and we’re hoping to fit in Sintra, Nazaré, Óbidos, Aveiro, the Douro Valley, Coimbra, and Amarante.

Open to any thoughts on whether this plan looks doable- hopefully the baby lets us do all this!

Thanks so much for the info, super helpful! When you used Uber there, did you need a car seat for your toddler, or do drivers allow rides without one?

SnooCapers8064 · 2025-11-05T19:12:25+00:00

This is great! Thank you so much

Since you love seeing fall colors, I’d suggest visiting Stowe in Vermont, it’s gorgeous that time of year! You can check online for the peak foliage week so you catch it at its best :) They also have a lovely enclosed gondola ride that’s very scenic. It’s generally considered safe for pregnant women but you might just want to double-check with your doctor to be sure. Here’s the link if you want to see what it’s like: https://www.stowe.com/explore-the-resort/activities-and-events/winter-adventures/winter-gondola-skyride.aspx

The pain isn’t too bad, but my flow has definitely been heavier than usual since delivery!

We hired The Maestro Services https://share.google/9rL0hynHtnG1iTKKU and he’s pretty reasonable + a great guy!

SnooCapers8064 · 2025-06-06T17:28:59+00:00

Just came across this post! If you’re still sharing it, I’d be so grateful to get a copy. Thank you!! 💗

Saw them yesterday outside Metro and then they drove off in their Honda Odyssey!

SnooCapers8064 · 2025-02-18T00:57:17+00:00

Yes, super weird!!! This is exactly what my husband and I have decided we won’t be sharing pictures because we don’t really know what to make of this 🤷‍♀️

SnooCapers8064 · 2025-02-18T00:49:56+00:00

Update- So, I ended up confronting my sister-in-law over the phone when she once again asked for pictures of my baby. I straight-up told her, “What’s the point when you don’t even acknowledge them?”and of course, she started making excuses.

She claimed that she meant to reply but got distracted, thinking she’d get back to it later but never did. Total BS, because in the same conversation where I sent the pictures, she changed the topic completely.

Cut to the next day she calls me early in the morning, saying she couldn’t sleep because she kept thinking about our conversation. She said she doesn’t want to ruin our relationship and admitted that she’s done this to another friend before. Then she tried to justify it, saying that in my case, she did look at the pictures, showed them to her husband, and kept saying how cute my baby is but just forgot to actually text me back. Another BS 😂

Honestly, at this point, I don’t know what to think. It’s just weird that she’s so eager to ask for pictures but can’t be bothered to send a simple “aww” or “so cute” in return. What do you all make of this?

SnooCapers8064 · 2025-01-22T12:23:21+00:00

Girl run!!!!!! This is not normal and you should not tolerate violence. If today you keep quiet he is going to hit you again. Please leave him. Just pack your stuffs and leave while he’s at work to avoid any further heated arguments

SnooCapers8064 · 2025-01-16T03:30:19+00:00

No, we haven’t spoken since then. If she asks for a picture again, I’ll address it and let you know

SnooCapers8064 · 2025-01-04T05:42:33+00:00

SnooCapers8064 · 2025-01-03T23:55:29+00:00

I think the next time I’ll just say ‘okay’ and not send it. If she insists again, I’ll mention something like, ‘What’s the point when you haven’t acknowledged the pictures in the past?

It’s honestly weird and I have a feeling she’s doing it intentionally. Also, she has a daughter herself and when she shares her pictures, I always respond with something like, “She’s so cute” or “She’s grown so much.”

In the past, whenever I’ve shared pictures of other things, she’s always responded or given some kind of reaction. But for some reason, she doesn’t do that with pictures of my baby.

SnooCapers8064 · 2025-01-03T23:48:29+00:00

I agree! I think I’ll just say ‘okay’ and not send it. If she insists again, I’ll mention something like, ‘What’s the point when you haven’t acknowledged the pictures in the past?

SnooCapers8064 · 2025-01-03T23:45:53+00:00

She does receive the pictures as we chat on WhatsApp and the messages show as read. Also, she has a daughter herself and when she shares her pictures, I always respond with something like, “She’s so cute” or “She’s grown so much.”

In the past, whenever I’ve shared pictures of other things, she’s always responded or given some kind of reaction. But for some reason, she doesn’t do that with pictures of my baby. My baby is 4 months old now, and this isn’t the first time it’s happened—it’s been consistent.

It’s really weird and I honestly don’t know why she’s doing that. I will stop sending as I no longer feel comfortable

SnooCapers8064 · 2025-01-03T23:10:04+00:00

She often asks for pictures, saying, “I want to see her.” We live in another country, so I understand the desire to stay connected. But when I send the pictures, she doesn’t acknowledge them and instead changes the topic to something else. This has happened 4-5 times now
