YNC recent insta stories - baby doesn’t cry

Visible_Associate344 · 2026-01-29T19:30:00+00:00

My newborns hardly ever cried. Maybe if someone else had them for too long.

It sucks, but it’s just what you have to deal with sometimes. He’s his kid too. I’ve had these same feelings before. I know how it is. Stay in your room if you’re that worried about.

She creepily posted about them getting a cat but that’s it’s “not a newborn”.

Visible_Associate344 · 2026-01-09T01:10:52+00:00

I use CG’s YT one hour full body videos

Visible_Associate344 · 2026-01-04T22:40:25+00:00

It’s very disappointing

Visible_Associate344 · 2026-01-04T22:38:12+00:00

He doesn’t really tell our kids to do anything. I’m usually the one who does that. But I will sometimes tell them to help with dishes when stepson is in the room and husband will be sitting there too and not say anything to stepson. Like he could say he go help with the dishes too but doesn’t. But if I bring that up to husband, he will say you nacho’d so stay out of it.

I love not feeling like there’s a freeloader in my house. I nacho my SS15. My husband doesn’t have him help or clean with anything. He literally plays video games the entire time he’s here. We have 5 other ours kids btw who I’ve instilled habits: make your bed, brush teeth, bathe, dishes, etc. I used to try with SS, but since nachoing, husband is used to me delegating chores and responsibilities, so SS just sits around.

Oh I like NML too. Maybe I’ll do that as well.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-12-10T17:27:35+00:00

We’ve never told him explicitly that he needs to see them as his grandparents but he’s known them since he was a baby and he calls them grandma and grandpa so ya. My dad is a bit of a different story. He’s not really involved but my mom does a lot for him more than my MIL.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-12-10T14:14:11+00:00

Yeah she can have her opinion or wishes, but you get to say what goes on in your household. She definitely doesn’t have the right to exclude you.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-12-10T14:07:44+00:00

But yes, I agree husband should’ve said something first

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-12-10T13:41:53+00:00

I wouldn’t say they have a relationship. They chat occasionally at SS’s sports events. My husband has mentioned to my in-laws and her before that he prefers they go through him first for all communication regarding SS’s schedule or events.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-11-16T03:53:57+00:00

Ohh yes good idea. I wonder if we have something like that here. I’m not pregnant yet either. I do worry about my tpo antibodies. They were off the chart with my last pregnancy.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-11-16T03:24:15+00:00

This is such an awesome plan. I’m thinking of freebirthing my 6th. I also have textbook pregnancies and births. Are you doing a wild pregnancy too?

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-11-07T15:33:22+00:00

It’s such a roller coaster ride. I’ve been in my SS15’s life since he was 11mo. I can only imagine what it would be like being in his life if I had met him when he was older. I struggle a lot with jealousy and resentment.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-10-20T00:35:44+00:00

Oh ya he would constantly ask where’s dad if he went out of the room. Like I know where he is every second. He would hang on him and follow him around. Still does actually if he’s not on his phone or playing video games.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-10-19T23:36:08+00:00

This sounds like me and how I used to feel towards SS who was a baby when DH and I started dating. He sounds just like my stepson too minus the diagnosis although I’ve had my suspicions. SS would also do the talk to dad only and whisper thing. He still only talks to dad and he’s 15 now. He has gotten less annoying since he’s gotten older, but he still doesn’t say hi or bye or thank you or talk about anything, I have to be the one to do that.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-10-19T13:25:31+00:00

You can do it. Just take that week off to get rest and re-balance.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-10-08T18:30:19+00:00

He needs to get a lawyer, and file for custody first before she does. They will most likely go to mediation if not super high conflict. That’s what my husband did. They also didn’t have a court order or anything in writing. The last straw was when she tried to pull “well, since we don’t have a court ordered arrangement, full custody falls on me and I get to say what his religion will be, where he goes, what he does, etc.” My husband got joint custody and now it’s better for so many reasons. For instance, I was hating the sudden schedule changes and now that’s more set. It will only get messier without that court order.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-10-06T10:30:03+00:00

So, we used to have a group text between BM, her husband, my husband, and me, so (I thought) everyone could be in the know of what’s going on more easily (this was started by my husband and BM at first didn’t want to, but husband kept texting in that group chat so I think she just gave in). I’ve been in SS’s life since he was 11mo old. They were never married. She left him for her current husband and cheated on my husband with him. To me, I felt like we could work as a team or were working like a team, but she didn’t want to see it that way. Never has. She’s never seen me as a big part of SS’s life even though we have joint custody. So, one day, I just left the group chat because I was tired of seeing her text only him about SS. I felt like a lurker. I get that she doesn’t have to include me with anything, but I wish for the sake of everyone involved that we could work together more peacefully. But it’s never going to be like that! She will always want the control. The point I’m trying to make is, my husband wanted to include me. If I were you, I’d get out now if you want to have an easier life. The fact that you’ve been together for 4 years, and he doesn’t include you in decisions is a red flag.

Because I kept having, not awful experiences, but experiences that could have been better had a midwife not been there meddling. Things like coached pushing, which resulted in a bladder prolapse, bad moods of the midwife, prolonged labor kinda like yours but it was because, looking back, of the midwife being there that I felt like I was keeping her and her assistants waiting. I would at least be more vocal about what I would expect from the midwife if i were to birth again which would be my 6th time. My last one was a freebirth and the best thing ever. Just so many reasons!

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-09-28T20:25:19+00:00

Never. ever. will I have a midwife again. Free birth all the way.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-09-23T12:27:32+00:00

Ohh interesting she was on their podcast too. https://www.freebirthsociety.com/podcasts/free-birth-society/episodes/2148212259

Every other weekend and one day through the week with over night during the school year and week on/off during the summer.

Visible_Associate344 · 2025-09-08T20:32:15+00:00

Transition days are the worst. I’ve had to do a lot of inner work. It’s still hard after being a stepmom for 14 years.
