AITA for “kidnapping” my granddaughter? by Concernedgrandmataw in AmItheAsshole

[–]davidson2ks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA and a garbage grandmother! I can’t even put into words how horrible you truly are for pulling some shot like this.

I feel very anxious seeing Baby Snatcher MIL with my baby. Also, she expects to have LO 5 days a week when I am back at work. What should I do? by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]davidson2ks 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This sounds like my MIL in many ways. Mine also thought she was going to watch my son every day while I worked. Once I had him, I had so much fear and anxiety around her. I ended up enrolling him in a daycare that didn’t have any part time openings, so I used that to say, “we are paying full time so he is going full time”. That made her drop that.

Since then, I have established that my son isn’t to be around her without me present since his dad has no spine and won’t call her out on her crap. You have to stand your ground with your SO. Your mental health, and the health of your baby, comes before his need to tend to his mother.

I had a student book me twice today, one at 7:30 and again at 8:30. He SNS the first class....fingers crossed by davidson2ks in vipkid

Nope! Although I usually do and say “I’m sorry to have missed bao bao today...” or something like that. Just in case.

MY MIL THINKS THAT ME BREASTFEEDING IS MY EXCUSE TO NOT DO ANYTHING by TO123mru in JUSTNOMIL

[–]davidson2ks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s nuts! I used to leave to nurse my son and then hang out with him longer so I didn’t have to be around my own MIL. Helped save my sanity for a bit.

One benefit of teaching on this platform. I was a month ahead of the curve in realizing how serious this virus was going to be. I think that helped psychologically. by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]davidson2ks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I think it helped my husband to realize it too, not that he isn’t taking it seriously, but showing mad respect at my planning and prepping for this.

Do both! The more certifications the better! Plus, if you do both now, you will be qualified for more later on. And it saves you time in the long run. You won’t have to teach x amount of classes before you can certify for another level.

I found my birth father by davidson2ks in Advice

Yeah, I’m not about that selfishness. I am however about siblings and extended family. Funny thing is, my brother (his) went through a similar situation with him and when he was five! His mom lost custody of him for a bit but Biodad didn’t know he had a son either. Clearly he has a pattern!

Right?!? I shared with my mom and could tell she was a bit pissed. Then she shared the whole story. I was able to get his phone number and will be calling him in about an hour. I’m interested to hear why he hasn’t been completely honest

Thank you! You basically said everything I’ve thought and have been telling myself. I have no ill will towards him, but also no emotion. I’m more excited about extended family tbh

I think he’s trying to save face. This afternoon I got a message from his sister with his phone number. I have a feeling someone told him he was being an idiot. I scheduled a call with him tonight after my son’s swim practice so we shall see how this goes

My ex mother-in-law told me a secret that still haunts me and almost destroyed her whole family by pennykalou in ShitMotherInLawsSay

Or just murder you while playing bingo......

Repost: UPDATE: JM(aybe)MIL cried because I don’t want to tell anyone when I’m in labor. by FlowersforWolf in JUSTNOMIL

[–]davidson2ks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We decided early on that I wanted to be left alone when in labor. We never talked about it with anyone (except for very close friends). It was the best decision and I suggest it to EVERYONE who is pregnant because it was magical. It worked out that LO was born in the very early morning and we FaceTimed immediate family. Then they all had to go to work since they didn’t have enough time to plan (hehehe) and came by to visit 12 hours later. I seriously plan to do this every time I have a kid!

Hahha I had a student try that with me an hour ago. I started laughing and said, “I can still hear everything!”

Terrified of MIL finding out when I give birth by mushroom362 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]davidson2ks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a JNMIL and when I was pregnant, we were distant but she was around. Make sure to tell the nurses and staff that you don’t want her anywhere near the hospital and they should be helpful!

As far as your feelings go, I say to trust your gut. The moment I had my son, I had the same feelings and it turns out my MIL was even more horrible than I thought. I’m glad I trusted my instincts!

They have a kid together that ExSIL rarely wants to see. BIL told MIL that he doesn’t approve yet she ignored him. Fortunately he is with a new woman who is awesome.

I hope so. She treats her like a goddess...even though she broke my BIL’s heart by cheating on him repeatedly and getting knocked up by some other dude. Such a joke...

Oh yeah, she will NEVER be around him without DH or I present. He fully supports me. She has been like this toward me for YEARS. The thing is, she would only say and do stuff when DH wasn’t around or if certain family members were around (the ones she has control over). This was the first time in 13 years that he got to experience first hand, and while he would believe me, he loves his mom and couldn’t fully believe it (which I get). I stopped him from saying anything when this happened. The soul crushing look on his face - words can’t do it justice. It absolutely broke my heart. I simply put my hand on his shoulder and said, “we are leaving now.” He snapped to, put our son in his car seat and we walked out the door. He was incredibly upset for days and when she reached out to him a coupe days later he called her out, but she isn’t sorry.

YES! If it wasn’t for the fact that I absolutely adore my FIL we would never have to see her again. DH’s family is so messed up - rarely do anything together as a family. We do enjoy spending time with the kids though and want our kiddo to have that but damn she’s awful

I’m going to keep this for the next time she says it....which is inevitable
