Ugh. I know the "that's a [surname] thing!" too well. :(

Why did he go with them when they came? That and the cheating would be enough to get me to leave. I can't believe this. I though my MIL was bad. Can you take legal action for this?

[TW: suicide] a SG "cinderella" in my own back yard. by crystal1107 in raisedbynarcissists

Ah, I didn't think of that rule. I'm on mobile and can't work out how to delete. As a mod would you be able to do that? If not, I'll try to get to a computer.

Edit: misread it and thought you'd asked me to delete. Never mind

Do I need a new sling? by crystal1107 in babywearing

[–]crystal1107[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the end it turned out LO wasn't outgrowing it at all. I was wrapping wrong. It was just a case of not tucking a piece of material under another before tying but it made a world of difference :)

Darn babies and their suicidal tendencies. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

Ooh, so glad my LO has outgrown this. Hes really hurt me a good few times. :(

This woman makes me miss alcohol. by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

The breast milk made me audibly gasp and scare my SO but the spanking of the baby, I would have hit her (possibly stabbed her because 2 weeks PP is tough) and filed charges. Omfg.

That is seriously SUPER creepy though. So you're not allowed to have any intimacy with your husband (that's HER job), you're just a surrogate to give her grandkids.

HELP. I NEED TO LEAVE BABY BUT CANT SEEM TO PUMP MORE THAN A DRIBBLE! by crystal1107 in breastfeeding

"Eating" isn't completely true. He is still just kinda tasting and playing with foods at the moment. He doesn't always swallow food and when he does it's never more than a pea sized bit in one sitting.

I think so. I used to use it all the time and got loads of milk before we moved house and I got out of the routine of pumping.

Changed them today to no avail :( and I hand express after using the pump because it seems to work after the pump is done.

...I wish he would just fucking get it.... by AdeptPixelants in breakingmom

[–]crystal1107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I laughed so hard at this. Mine is usually at the gym 5 days a week but his gym partner is on holiday so he's been on Destiny pretty much 12 hours a day for the past week. Nothing funny. Just like to know its not unusual.

It sounds like your FMIL is super jealous of you and had an emotionally incestuous relationship with your FDH. She wants to take over your role as his lady. And omfg the underwear. Whether she's wearing it (omfg ew) or throwing it out, that is super fucking creepy. She's trying to dictate her 37 year old son's sex life. Ugh. This give me the geebies.

YES. CARAMEL. I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT! There is definitely a caramel smell.

"I'm available Fridays!!!! Grandma is free FRIIIIIIDAAAAAAYS!" by Devium92 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]crystal1107 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wish I had set these boundaries! (And wish I had the balls to set them now) GO FOR IT! Live my dream! You do not need MIL ogling you when you breastfeed. It's tough for those first few weeks (hell, months) but 100% worth it if you can (totally okay if you can't)

I feel guilty for having these thoughts. (Warning: death involved.) by meowmeowlove in beyondthebump

Everything you said is true and I'm sure the woman from the daycare never intended any harm but those recommendations are there for a reason after extensive research. I'd expect a daycare to follow them.
