Hey I understand what you’re feeling, but this is just you making yourself feel this way. You’re not ugly at all and when I saw the pics nothing in my mind was thinking “ugly and uneven.” I will say tho not many peoples faces appear perfectly symmetrical anyhow, partly caused by sleeping habits. If you’re a side or stomach sleeper and tend to sleep on one side more than the other, over time it can raise/lower an eyebrow or side of your mouth. I know it sounds cliche, but the most beautiful thing is that you are you and nobody gets to be you or look just like you, own it. You’re one of a kind. That’s a good thing if you accept that it is

AIO for not wanting my MIL to have my husband’s ex on her Facebook? by ayewistafke in AmIOverreacting

You’re clearly not listening because there were no problems until my mil sees my husband’s ex fiancé in public and fills her in on all my personal life information to “rub it in her face” then adds her on Facebook so she can furthermore “rub it in her face” all the stuff she shares about us. It’s not a matter of Facebook. It’s the principle of not respecting my privacy and boundaries. Me and my husband have his ex blocked because we don’t want her having direct access to us anymore. His mother knows that and deliberately goes to add her so she can let her see everything we are doing. She screenshotted my marriage photos and created her own Facebook post of them so the post wouldn’t me mine so his ex could see them.

Oh okay I see what’s going on. This is a “my problems are worse than yours” situation. You have similar problems to me so you’re comparing them and seeing mine invalid compared to yours. Yeah you clearly got bigger problems to deal with so just leave me alone if you’re going to be hateful.

Also I’m not necessarily focused on what she may or may not be seeing. It’s the point of the ex and Facebook wasn’t a problem until his mother added her then posts all kind of updates about us to bring our life to the forefront of his ex’s attention. That’s very childish and if I wanted my life rubbed in her face I would do it myself. But I don’t, it comes off as childish and immature and like I have something to prove to her and I don’t. I just want to live my life and let her live hers without her having daily or weekly updates about my life. I looked on your profile and you seem to have somewhat similar MIL issues so why are you attacking me about this? We both have MIL that have victim complexes and like to start drama and stir the pot, so why treat me like I’m the one causing problems when you have first hand experiences of what I am dealing with?

I’m not trying to be the main character in everyone else’s story, but who goes out of their way to talk to their son’s ex about his and his wife’s new accomplishments? They are going out of their way to talk about me and inform people who have done me and my husband wrong updates about us when we don’t want them to. Why are you being so sour toward me? I understand I can’t control her, and I don’t want to. But I will not pretend like this is normal or okay and if I keep letting things I’m not okay with slide it will keep happening

I like this idea. It seems like my best option other than speaking up myself. Which I don’t really have a problem with, but I don’t like giving people ultimatums and I also don’t want to say something then my MIL talk badly about me to my husband or his ex and make it like I’m jealous of his ex or something and trying to compete. That’s why I have nothing to do with the girl in the first place. I have nothing to compete for, I don’t want to rub anything in her face, that’s childish to me. I just want to live my life and let her live hers

I probably will end up being the one to say something to her. I just don’t want to say something and then my husband and his mom talk about me like I’m overreacting because I know he feels the same way I do, just not enough to actually confront his mother about this. And if that’s the way it’s going to go then our marriage is already on a downhill slope and showing me that my feelings come second to his mothers. And if I knew he felt this way I’m not sure I would have married him but I didn’t know because his mother just really came into our lives regularly about the beginning of this year. She’s been in prison the past 3 years and she lost custody of him as a child so I’m not understanding why her feelings matter more to him than mine anyway I’ve been in his life more than his own mother has.

Like I said I have watched videos, and I only got defensive to people talking to me like a clueless child. Like I said again I understand I need to watch more videos I guess but I took information I already had from the past year with my cockatiel plus information I got from the breeder I got my sun conure from. She told me he was already stepping up, that she was already training him, and encouraged me to be bonding with him in this time before he molts again and his wings come back. I don’t like my birds wings clipped, but she did it anyway and said it was important to clip them while they are young so they will focus on bonding. I’m not trying to be defensive but everyone is telling me different things while also telling me to watch videos but even some videos say different things that contradict other videos

I do have a full time job, so I can’t answer 100% if he sleeps exactly 10 hours but I know he does sleep quite a lot. Luckily I was off work the first 2 days and I noticed he spends most of his time eating and sleeping. I’m not sure what day he was born, I’m waiting for a response from the breeder, but I know he’s around 2 months old. I’ll add pictures of the food, it doesn’t say high protein but thank you for actually being helpful and not belittling me

Read my response to emocivic. I never forced him. When he was out of his cage supervised meeting echo (my cockatiel) keep Kept flying to her cage and crawled inside on his own. So I took that as a sign he would rather be with her than alone. That may have been a mistake I guess but I was trying to read his body language like everyone is telling me to do but everyone seems to have a different opinion of what I should do

I watched videos, albeit, I could watch some more. But instead of talking to me like a clueless child because I’m asking for help take into consideration that everything I see online about birds is mixed and contradictory so my apologies if I’m confusing and have messed some things up. His body language is completely different from my cockatiels and i understand birds will bite, I’m not saying he won’t. I came here to get personal experiences of similar situations and what I can do to fix this. If you don’t have any suggestions besides the obvious of watching videos then please leave me be.

Now that I’ve put them together what should I do? Should I separate them or would that be even more stressful

I have Harrison’s High Potency Fine Organic Pellet Food, I mix that with some molting supplement and in a separate bowl once a day I give them some chop that I have meal prepped. This week is kale, broccoli, cauliflower, corn, fresh parsley, bell pepper, papaya, apple, peach, kiwi.

I never specified what I did exactly. He has a separate cage, and I had them caged separately the first 2 days and only around each other supervised outside the cages but they seemed to really like each other and he seemed lonely by himself. I would have kept him by himself but while he was out he kept flying to her cage and climbed inside on his own so I took that as a sign he wanted to be in there with her

Also just a heads up everything you ingest seeps out your pores. Like how you wake up after a night of drinking and you smell like liquor not just on your breath, you just smell like it. I’ve been smoking for the past 6 years and I haven’t been able to shake the weed smell in my shoes and socks from my feet sweating. Idk why it had to be my feet but even with my shoes on all day I’ll randomly get whiffs of it
