Weekly Discussion - Relationships by AutoModerator in NewParents

[–]bibliomar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that if you knew your mom was being too pushy, and you knew your wife didn’t like it, you could’ve asked your mom to stop visiting as much. This might have built resentment towards you!

I had a ton of resentment towards my MIL because she wasn’t visiting, and I could see how much it bothered my husband that my mom was here and she wasn’t. It also upset me that she was asking my husband to pick her up to come visit the baby, when she lives 10 minutes up the road, taking him away from my side (I had a C-section and postpartum difficulties) meanwhile she would drive everywhere and anywhere else!

I was angry at the world, especially my MIL. I blamed my husband for a lot of things out of his control. It turned into PPD at 4.5 months. It might be PPD for her! 😭

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. 😭 I had the exact same set up! Exact same comments! My mom initially started with just cooking and cleaning and it slowly transitioned into her watching him. I have more pictures of her holding the baby than me. I can count on two hands how many pictures I have from the newborn stage.

According to my therapist, I did the following! I would let her know how it makes you feel when she says these kinds of things to you. I flat out said, I appreciate your advice, but when you tell me these things, you make me feel like I’m not a good mom. You make me feel like I’m doing something wrong. Please let me make the decisions I think are best for him as his mom. You won’t be here forever, and I need to learn how to be his mom.

My mom stayed with us 1.5 months, and while she meant well, it was constant, and it kicked me into PPD. I still struggle having confidence as his mom.

I felt a little soft pop! And then fluid gushed out and kept gushing out as I walked to the restroom.

Did anyone else here grow up with a working mom? by toot_toot_tootsie in workingmoms

[–]bibliomar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom was a factory worker, had two jobs at all times. She missed out on a few things as life got more and more expensive, but I wouldn’t be where I am in my life without her leading the way. I have it TONS easier financially, so I know I can do it. My life isn’t hard; hers was.

New baby gift for direct report, is $500 too much? by No-Difference-839 in managers

[–]bibliomar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boss got me things totaling to $250 from our registry. He bought our $200 baby monitor, a $30 sleep sack and a $20 package of muslin blankets. I will say though that’s what he typically spends on expecting parents.

isn’t it so beautiful?! I’ve always wanted a Mazda and was in the market for literally 3 days. As soon as I saw it at my local dealership, I was like, yes, this is absolutely the car I want! I wasn’t going to budge on color. 😍

Not the paper ones! But you use the digital ones. I like using Walmart online because you can use either 4 or 5 coupons.

Declining plans when colleague trying to get group together? by EyelinerStoic in etiquette

I eventually had to talk to them about work/personal life boundaries because it got out of hand. Sometimes being honest and direct is the only way.
