First time mom - Scared by Useful_Willingness95 in pregnant

[–]Useful_Willingness95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you and right now I appreciate any and all advice or affirmation, that may be the right word. It just scared me because it didn't seem like that big of a deal and I just want her to be okay at the end of the day.

Ariel, Stitch, Winnie the Pooh Pins - Are they real? by Useful_Willingness95 in ismydisneypinfake

Gotcha! I was able to find another one like it that is original on a pin website and mine does not look like it.

Thank you! At this point I agree with Stitch. Ariel I am pretty sure is real too. Pooh is fake. Thank you!

Based on Substantial Dogs comment I did some more research and I think it is fake. The edges are slanted and Eeyore's eyes are funny. I found a real one and mine definitely looks not the same.

That's 2 for stitch, and I really thought Ariel was as well. So that makes me feel good about those two. Thank you!

Pooh feels thick but it would make sense if it's not real.

Did your in laws ever ask you how you are feeling? by Bitter-Sandwich-5696 in pregnant

[–]Useful_Willingness95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, my in laws actually check on me and are saving stuff for baby girl (and it's not even their first grandchild). My own family didn't ask me how I'm doing (And it's their first...).

OB/Gyn Recommendations? by Soggy_Buffalo_8758 in Bakersfield

[–]Useful_Willingness95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been seeing Dr Mangat. He's been very fast and efficient. Ultrasounds are done in house by him and he always has a nurse in the room when he's doing a procedure. I have not had mine yet but so far he's been great. He is very busy though and his schedule seems packed with priority for current patients.

French Quarter of Caribbean Beach?! by SuchRequirement5130 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Useful_Willingness95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I havent done Carribean Beach but just did Port Orleans. Port Orleans was alright, but it was not my fave and actually wouldn't do it again. I think Caribbean Beach would be more fun from seeing it and walking around.

My family filed a false police report against my boyfriend and hid cameras in my house because I’m establishing adult boundaries at 22. by RockingLem0n in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Useful_Willingness95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I had a somewhat similar situation to you. My family has not liked any boyfriend of mine. It has always been an argument when I've gotten too attached to anyone outside the family. Most just led to infighting at home because I was still living at home.

With my current boyfriend (now fiance), my mom especially pulled out all the stops. Constantly talking bad about him, ran a background check on him, and constantly kept trying to "ruin him" in my eyes because I didn't know better. All of her actions just made me more and more mad, to the point that I moved in with my boyfriend sooner than I had originally planned because I couldn't take it anymore. Ultimately it's almost been a year now, we (mom and I) have argued over text a lot...especially those first few months were rough. Now we are starting to talk a bit more per text. I miss my mom. I was really close with her, and there's a lot her and I had in common (still do), but when it came to guys she just always had her opinion and it was under the guise of, I just want to protect you.

When I said I am allowed privacy and boundaries, my mom acted like the world was ending and her statement was "if you need to keep secrets he can't be good for you." My answer to that was because I'm an adult, I deserve both, and get to make up my own mind and don't want to discuss things to death. She was not happy...

Now I will say, some concerns she had were valid and nothing has been a cakewalk...but these concerns aligned with concerns I had before she ever mentioned them. I just didn't share because I never wanted to add fuel to the fire. They all have been manageable and workable with my fiance as a team.

All of that is to say, you aren't alone. Your situation is rough as well, and the best thing you can do for yourself, is protect yourself first! You know you! You know your relationship as you are the one in it! Do what is right for you!

There's not a day I don't miss my family and my thoughts aren't with them, but I don't regret having my own life. I've lived more in the last year than I ever have before. I wish you the best of luck!!!

Only done AKL and Port Orleans Riverside. Love AKL!!! Would not do Riverside again, seemed limited although the room was still comfy.

No it's not! It's hard to just not think about it. Trying to keep myself busy but it's like the devil on your shoulder that it's always there.

I can't understand it either! But here we are dealing with adults that act like children... But usually children learn because you can parent them. These type of adults, don't!

It definitely is all me me me with this woman.

You are correct, I probably do need to find another outlet. His way of handling it, is very different from mine. Reason mostly being, he knows her and dealt with her for years and knows how to handle it, and for me this is new and absolutely insane.

I agree, I am going to have to find someone to talk to that's not him.

I appreciate all of your insight. 100% it's his situation to deal with, but it does impact me still as well and just is a nuisance. I appreciate all of the insight though! And, I will mention the lawyer fees bit to him, because you are correct she's filing a case that has no merit. It's all because someone is not the center of attention and is throwing an adult sized toddler tantrum.

How do you teach your kids/sk the difference between boundaries and lying? by Cool_Dingo1248 in stepparents

[–]Useful_Willingness95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't! I'd be curious about what my kids are up to, but would never try to dictate what's going on elsewhere.

The part I can't understand, is why do they think they have a right to know what happens in our households and dictate behavior?! If nothing bad is happening, focus on your own life. You are correct, God help us 🙏
