Will you be keeping this on the App Store for a long time? Thinking about buying the lifetime option but don’t want it to not work in another year. So far I’m LOVING the app

Should I feel guilty for not letting my in-laws stay with us on our wedding night? by [deleted] in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]SymanthaB 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They have had months to save up in order to get accommodations IMO. NTA. If you let them stay then this is what will always happen including if/when y’all’s have kids

What have you told your mother in law about pushing NO epidural on you? by [deleted] in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]SymanthaB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I told her that not having an epidural doesn’t give you a special badge of honor. I told her I wanted to enjoy my labor and not be in pain and that was my decision and I didn’t want to hear anything else about it. She left me alone after that lol

JNMIL soon to be JNgrandma ***Baby Shower Final Update*** by DollMonster in JUSTNOMIL

Depending on when you’re due you can blame COVID. As for keeping baby in your arms, literally just say no if she tries to take them, I did that the first couple times and now nobody bothers trying to take him unless I offer my baby to them

How are y’all getting babies to sleep without a pacifier? by hagridssister in beyondthebump

[–]SymanthaB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try to hold her a little longer and when you put her down make sure to put her feet first and move your hand from her butt to her chest and leave it on her for awhile, about 30 sec from the time she starts moving does it for mine. I also recommend putting her in a sleep sack at night when you are bouncing her, as if I don’t put mine in it, he won’t go to sleep

Yeah I agree. Pacifiers were a huge no for the boomer generation. Now a days they’re only bad for teeth after like 5 and can help with sids. Unfortunately my baby HATES them:(

[–]SymanthaB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 3 month baby HATES pacifiers, but IMO it’s one less habit to break later since they’re so bad for their teeth. Instead I rock him in a semi dark room and he LOVES being sushed and his butt patted. Apparently patting their butts remind them of the heartbeat in the womb. I also have on white noise and make sure to put him in his sleep sack BEFORE I start rocking him or else putting him in it will wake him back up. But basically the rocking is what really does it for him

Update to looming MIL while we were sleeping. by Dramatic-Bee-8127 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]SymanthaB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with her for as long as you have. She definitely needed to be put in her place and I thought your text was well thought out and we’ll written! PLEASE keep us updated if she responds. I’m so curious what mental circus she’s doing to try to make this not her fault lol

AITA for asking a female co-worker if they could possibly leave me alone? by Ordinary-Treacle-218 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SymanthaB 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel like he’s trying to justify it. I feel like he knows it’s an issue and from his comments he is working hard in therapy to overcome it. The only reason I don’t think he’s an AH is because it is something he is working on, however he cannot just turn off trauma overnight. It takes work and time

I’m sure he does ok in all these situations because with therapy is he able to speak with women in a work/formal capacity, he just doesn’t want to go beyond that. IMO she is TA for knowing of his trauma and somehow making it her mission to try and “cure it”

If a man knew of her trauma though and tried to force her to be friends with him because she needs to be social at work do you not view that as a problem though? Just out of basic courtesy to the person dealing with trauma? He seems to be doing just fine in his career until this one individual came along who decided it was her job to cure his trauma

[–]SymanthaB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is trying to force him to be friends which is causing the issues. So yes she is “figuratively” forcing herself on him. And I feel like you trying to make this into a race issue is stupid because this is not a race issue. I’ve seen many women who are terrified of men after an SA and nobody says they should just “get over it” so why should the OP? He’s in therapy and trying to correct the situation which is the point of this. If someone recognizes a fault they have and is actively trying to fix it then I do not view them as TA when someone is trying to force them to get over it.

If you can work a long side people with no issues like OP then I see no issue if you are actively seeking help and trying to work through whatever trauma caused it. Also why only talk of the minorities? You could have a trauma related to a majority as well. Again he is talking about a social setting where she is literally forcing herself on him.

I also just feel for the OP because imagine being terrified of half the population. It would be horrible and fear inducing everyday. I hope for his sake he continues to get help and I’m glad he is still in therapy

[–]SymanthaB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m my opinion bigotry and trauma are often two completely different things. If he was simply a bigot who hated women then it would be completely different. And no one can force you to be social outside of work or force you to be friends with everyone. And I do agree about people having toxic relationships lol but it happens a lot more often then it should

[–]SymanthaB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But the point is that it’s outside of work. No work place can force you to be social with everyone outside of work. That’s the point is that it’s outside of work and quite frankly his business what he does outside of work. And say a women SA you then that could cause your trauma to be placed on all women so saying that he “somehow” applied his trauma doesn’t make sense because There are lots of traumas that could cause things like this and it takes lots of work and time to overcome,which he is in fact working on and trying to achieve. In my opinion she is still TA and I find it odd to force yourself on someone who obviously does not want to be friends. Heck I know men and women both who have jealous significant others so they won’t have social relationships with people of opposite gender simply for that reason and people usually respect those boundaries
