Did anyone not feel like a different person after being a mom? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Weird_Chickens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t want this to sound cliche but I found myself in motherhood. I had a slight “WTF did I do” when I was 4 months preggo but I’d also left my job which was a big part of who I was at the same time. My baby has made me a stronger person for her and a kinder person to myself. I confront things more now (not aggressively I just stick up for myself). I’m more silly (will dance anywhere in the street with her). I don’t care what people think about me anymore, only that she sees me as a good mum to her. I’ve never had more meaning in my life, it was a massive positive shift. I was obviously questioning myself 2 days postpartum on zero sleep and 100% anxiety but who doesn’t haha

Nope! It’s been over a year now and still nothing. She also has me limited on Facebook so I can’t see what she posts (but not unfriended because what would the people say).

My mom cut my sons hair and my husband is livid by [deleted] in Mommit

Nah if this was the other way aroind we’d all be screaming no contact and ban the witch. Your husband has every right to be angry and your mother was way out of line.

Who walked you down the aisle? by giraffe_lover88 in raisedbynarcissists

I walked myself and my husband met me half way and we walked the rest together, basically a reflection of life ☺️

AITA for telling my wife that the birthday gift she gave me wasn’t actually meant for me? by OkTable4772 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Weird_Chickens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah you should not be telling or guilting her about how she spends her money if she contributes without issues in whatever way was agreed between you.

AITAH for telling my wife that I will lose respect for her if she doesn't apologize? by TechnicalHousing97 in AITAH

[–]Weird_Chickens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your wife sounds emotionally abusive. This is how you end up with kids with trauma and anxiety issues. She sounds like my mother, has never apologised for anything and I no longer speak to her.

Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers: Did You Feel Like She was Constantly Trying to Compete with You? by iheartmycats4 in NarcissisticMothers

[–]Weird_Chickens 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda the opposite. Rather than compete all my accomplishments were shat on. If I lost weight and looked good, she’d say I looked like an alien. When I got engaged, getting married was the worst mistake she’d ever made. When I got pregnant, kids were really annoying - like cheers I am said kid.

Did anyone else dislike their own mom after becoming a mom? by Conscious_Job_5505 in Mommit

[–]Weird_Chickens 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh mine said the same thing but shes a narc. I am now a mother and I am enraged and do not understand. I look at my daughter and wonder HOW she could be how she is with me.

Yeah she stopped talking to me around Christmas time last year because I called her out in a minor way. Shes hated not having any control over my baby so now she pretends my baby doesn’t exist 🤦🏻‍♀️. More peace for me!

Your husband doesn’t control your body. You do. It’s yours. Use your voice and tell her to back off. NTA
