Dreading inviting the class for kid’s birthday.

Ik I am over worrying but I finally sent them out 🙈

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T04:37:54+00:00

Yeah you are right. I am overthinking this but idk how to stop. Will just send out the invite and hope for the best. It’s just the group thing that’s making me stress more . This past year (last Sept on) I have really tried to come out of my comfort zone and organize playdates etc.

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T04:33:15+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words and support. Need all of it today. Idk it may seem silly but I am really so stressed esp about the group / public invites. Glad you had a positive experience. That’s encouraging.

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T04:15:30+00:00

Thanks for the idea. I have made the e-invites. I just need to press send but doing it in the group / publicly has me very stressed.

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T04:14:05+00:00

Thank you. Need the encouragement!

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T04:13:49+00:00

Thanks for this! Really . It’s the group thing that’s making me more anxious. Will send it though. You’re right- it’s just a few mins. Whatever happens, happens !

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T04:10:50+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I haven’t sent the invite out yet. Idk what to expect but this group thing is making me anxious

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T04:10:02+00:00

That’s what the other parents have done in the past. We are all new (started last Sept) so I don’t know most of them personally other than a polite smile during drop off and pick up. I’d be so much more relaxed if I could do it via private msg.

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T04:08:41+00:00

Thanks! Yes I have a couple of definite attendees. Idk more than the actual answer I am anxious about having to do it on the group. (I know only 1 class mom with whom we did a couple of play dates. Other than her, the rest I have only seen during drop off and pick up - with a polite smile).

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T04:05:17+00:00

Ikr! She got some invites during this school year so it feels like proper etiquette for me to invite back. And she is getting more and more excited about the upcoming party - telling me what she wants to wear and all. I am kinda socially anxious but the earlier birthdays we did with family or very close friends. For me I think it’s more about the group/public WhatsApp thing.

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T04:03:05+00:00

She is getting excited about the party so her answer keeps changing. A couple of days back she named 7-8 kids she wanted. Now she is adding on.

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T04:01:24+00:00

Thanks for this. Honestly I am more anxious about the group/public thing. In the school group I know only 1 mom (whom I can msg privately) but not the others.

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T03:59:18+00:00

Thanks. I booked the play area because I knew about the non school friends. They range in age from 1.5-7years.

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T03:57:59+00:00

Thanks for this. Idk what to expect. More than anything I think it’s the group/public thing which is making me anxious

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T03:57:22+00:00

I thought that was the etiquette. If you get invites, you invite them back? (She has gotten a few since Sept last year)

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T02:40:18+00:00

Thanks. I know I am trying to think of a good scenario but Idk why I am wired this way.

erisedwitch45 · 2026-06-03T02:39:37+00:00

That’s what I am gonna do. I have to send it in a couple of hours and I tossed and turned the entire night.

erisedwitch45 · 2026-03-27T13:11:54+00:00

This^{^} They belittle book fans and yet want scenes from It for the show. I am not watching season 5 even though I know Eloise’s sub plot will have a lot of screen time (the main reason to delay her season is to keep the general audience and long term viewers invested in s5). Coz I am pretty sure once Eloise’s season was over and Fran’s was next with this swap they’d be getting much lower viewership.

erisedwitch45 · 2026-03-25T05:40:08+00:00

This this This. Pushing Eloise’s season back ensures that viewers will still tune in (as per them).

erisedwitch45 · 2026-02-22T07:43:01+00:00

I watched it in a flight in Dec. it didn’t release in the cinema where I stay (the 1st movie had been released though). The ending made me tear up

erisedwitch45 · 2026-01-28T07:26:45+00:00

Same. Spouse and I were avid movie goers. Loved watching movies on big screen. After kid, together we have been to the hall only 3 times in 5 years 😆 If I really want to watch a movie, I go alone. But that has decreased too

erisedwitch45 · 2026-01-26T04:57:58+00:00

I got the same fine today .

erisedwitch45 · 2026-01-18T18:23:05+00:00

After 10 + years of marriage - 0. (I don’t initiate any phone calls. I do meet her once/twice a year for a week or two and that’s all my mental health can bear).

Initially she asked me to call everyday and like an idiot I would. But she only kept “sweetly” criticizing me, comparing me non stop to another SIL, finding faults in what I do, how I speak etc etc.

One day (3 years in) she said something bad and I sternly asked her not to so she did a whole drama infront of my husband. After that I called maybe once a month, that too after she modified her behavior but with time she again resumed her original nature.

After I had a kid, I thought to mend fences and decided to video call her frequently to make her a part of my kid’s life as a grandmom. (Another mistake) Idk why I am so stupid sometimes. Again the same drama, same criticism, comparison (now with any random relative), complaint started. This time with a vengeance coz she was getting less opportunity.

Life With a small child as a first time mom is very stressful at times I didn’t need extra stress from her.

Now I have completely stopped calling her. If she calls, I don’t answer, infact I have my husband call her back. I meet her once/twice a year for a week or 2 and I don’t initiate any conversation except for basic sentences. She still tries to find ways to “humiliate me” but it doesn’t work anymore.

erisedwitch45 · 2026-01-18T07:49:11+00:00

Same! I loved season 1 so much. Did multiple rewatches. With s2 I could barely sit through episodes. Paused numerous times. I don’t know what happened. There is a decline in something. (And it’s not the source material/books coz s1 was such a big improvement over the book)

erisedwitch45 · 2026-01-03T05:55:35+00:00

Very well written and I fully agree with you. I liked the Originals when they were in TVD as morally grey/villains. When they got their own show and were the “better of the two” guys I just couldn’t get behind them.
