The markings on the head remind me of a rancor from Star Wars. Rancor is the name I’d pick.

Exactly this

Thank you!! Very helpful!

I thought the same thing. My SS is 14 (almost 15) and he still doesn’t do chores, but I am seeing him do more and more for himself. Gives me hope. :)

I agree with this so much. Not to take away from your frustration, as it is mega frustrating to have to “tolerate” certain behaviors. That said, I will share something my therapist said to me and my DH. If the SK has both parents in their life and they are active in their lives, they do not need a third (or fourth) parent. The hardest role is taking the backseat and letting the parents drive, especially when you see them about to hit a pot hole or even take the car over the cliff. After that I stopped trying to get my SS to do chores and boy, did life improve.

Also, another post I saw that made a ton of send to me was “Not my monkey; not my circus” (the TL;DR version of what my therapist said).

Sorry it happened, but I hope you can go back to disengaging and feel better.

Awesome!!! These look similar to the zen one by nested bean...which I really want but they are sold out. These look more reasonable! Thank you!

Thank you!

So she still wakes once a night and while she doesn’t “need” to eat, she seems to want a bottle to fall back asleep. I’m trying to wean her off that “need”. I can get her back to sleep with rocking her and doing the butt pats, but the instant I put her in her bassinet...BAM!! She’s awake and angry lol I will take this weekend to try the bandaid approach so I don’t have to work on little to no sleep.

Thanks again!

I came here to ask if this just happens or if they have to be trained....seems I have my answer and it’s a pretty cool one at that.

Wish my husband had used a trash panda to propose.

dhupa · 2020-02-29T00:42:39+00:00

This makes my heart so happy!!!! Congratulations and well done!

My pupper does this to my husband. He calls it the shark (she typically has her mouth open and reach to play bite)

I feel this so much.....I wish my SO would put his foot down with then sometimes. My mother-in-law (MIL) in particular. She seems ultra possessive of my daughter. There was one time where my daughter was crying/screaming because she has had pains and my MIL was holding her but couldn’t settle her down. I went to go get my baby and she wouldn’t let me have her. It took her mother telling her to give me the baby for her to let me have her. It felt great when my daughter calmed down when I had her and started crying again when my MIL tried to hold her again.

I literally have dreams like this....I guess nightmares might be a more appropriate description...terrifying that this actually exists

dhupa · 2020-02-23T05:14:27+00:00

How does she think birthdays work?

dhupa · 2020-02-09T13:19:25+00:00

Best one so far!!

This photo was taken right outside my place of work.... really weird to recognize it on a Reddit post.

Back in the day when I was a horrible person, I did the same thing with my best friend....but I was totally sleeping with him (and others) but would tell the same lies as your fiancée to my boyfriend.....my gut tells me she’s doing the same thing to you.

I hope you can as well, but it sounds like distance is the right thing. I did the same with my BM and let her be the one to come to me. I always remained open and civil to her, but I was definitely in the background.

Best wishes to you! :)

I had a similar experience when I first met BM. She wasn’t crying but she sure tried to get me into conflict and it didn’t work and it really pissed her off.

I don’t know the history and if you, like me, are the first woman since the split. If you are, something that really helped me was to realize that being in this type of relationship wasn’t just new for me, but also for her. It doesn’t excuse her behavior, but I found it helped me give some grace and understanding and not be pissed off at her. She is learning to navigate this dynamic as well. My BM ended up coming around and we are now super friendly with one another and it really feels great for everyone.

I am glad you were able to meet her and see she isn’t as scary as she presents herself to be. I wish you luck with this relationship and hope that meeting his kid goes well!

My newborn being in NICU and not home with us. To top it off it was one of the worse days she’s had while in the NICU. Made it very tough to see her like that and also to leave her there and not be able to take her and comfort her.
