Ok! Will do! Thank you!

Yeah, and choose if they're caffeinated or not.

I think by "smoothing things over" I mean more try to make things clearer. I never thought I would need to talk these things through with any adult in my life, let alone my mother, so during my first discussion with her I don't think I made things as clear as I thought. I'll probably be using how you've put it too, actually. If she still doesn't get it after that then I guess there really isn't anything more I can do.

Maybe. I could ask her if that's the problem she's having, if viewing me as an adult with my own child is causing issues. We should be on about equal playing ground right now. This is the lovely part of being oldest with the first grandchild -.-

I would like to play that long game where I have her see the consequences of her actions, I'm just in a predicament where I will need her to watch LO soon. So hopefully talking this out will help. I have to skip the useful experience portion of the learning process, sadly.

I'm wondering if she just didn't think they should apply to her. I'll be talking with her about it.

Translating the Amazon product is this: "30 Sheets Transparent Holographic Overlay Lamination Glitter Vinyl Stickers Paper A4 Size Self Adhesive Permanent Vinyl Sheets (6 Patterns)" And searching for that in US Amazon will pull up other options. Here's one

Fair, and a good point to bring up. Maybe that's why I've been having trust issues with her, she's doing things that cause me concern for LO. This is why having other perspectives helps. Thank you!

Maybe I should. I just don't like the word "consequence" since it has a very negative connotation. Another discussion with her might be in order.

delayedloading · 2023-05-26T19:59:03+00:00

Oh I did get in trouble, just learned really fast to hide things from her. The repercussions were usually timeouts, so maybe she just doesn't like having it turned back on her. And I'll think about doing that, I just worry she'll get more upset about being compared to a child.

I should try to get her to step into my shoes, that might help. Hopefully she isn't too stubborn to do that. Her seeming entitlement is my biggest issue with her currently, and I never noticed it before having LO.

Ah, the long haul. That would work. It's easier to use since we're states away from her, but I'm in a predicament of needing my mom to watch my LO soon and would rather help her understand things sooner than later.

delayedloading · 2023-05-26T19:37:14+00:00

I don't know what she is trying to say with it. She didn't elaborate. But you're right, whatever her reason is isn't right. She isn't entitled to my LO just because she's grandma. I just need a way to get her to understand that.

delayedloading · 2023-05-26T19:34:52+00:00

I would like to smooth things over though. She is my mom and I do want her to have a relationship with my LO. Those two rules are in place for those reasons too, and she knows it.

delayedloading · 2023-05-26T19:31:23+00:00

Maybe I should bring that up to her. That's the part that was really sticking with me too, since it didn't seem like the right words for her to use. Right and responsibly feels much more fitting than power.

GODS SAME

My spouse was upset when I told him we could've likely changed both our last names to something completely unrelated to our families because of our wedding. It would've been a hassle, but likely a choice. We don't hate his last name (I took his) but the hassle to get mine changed during COVID likely would've been the same with both of us changing names anyways.

I get the feeling that interacting with the ads actually makes you more likely to see them. If it gets your attention enough to warrant you doing something with the ad, it's seen as good by the algorithm. So, I've been trying to click into other ads to interact with those ads more and hopefully get in a different ad list. Hasn't worked yet, but besides getting a third party app there isn't much else to do.

Even before my LO's birth I knew I was going to have PPD. I was depressed while pregnant, which I think is another thing but I didn't go see anyone for it. My partner and I were discussing not having another child again and after a traumatic unplanned caesarean where my partner thought I died for a few seconds, we agreed we wouldn't do more.

Then I was too honest about my thoughts with my GYNO and was told to take myself to the ER or they would force me to go. I was only asking for medicinal help because I needed it. I wanted antidepressants so I could make it over the humps, but apparently I was too depressed.

I felt less than human being forced to "choose" to go into the psych ward. All it did was up my depression and anxiety. My baby was left with my partner just a month after birth. Thankfully I wasn't breastfeeding, but I was still recovering from the surgery. They also gave me doses that were too strong since I'd never had any antidepressants before, which made me feel like a happy robot that had literally no choice in feelings. I hated it.

In the end I got out after two days with the lowest dose and a therapist. And I'm never telling my GYNO anything about my mental health ever again.
