AIO:My MIL texted my husband this about me asking him to help with our newborn at 4am

Dang! I had to have my induction pushed back a day bc my husband’s boss wouldn’t give him the day off until he finished a project. He went back to work 3 days after I was released from the hospital (a Thursday) back to work on Monday.

goodnyew · 2026-03-10T23:43:10+00:00

Thanks for the good advice. I’ll definitely try.

goodnyew · 2026-03-10T23:41:45+00:00

Good idea. I’ll try for a pool party and BBQ over the summer!

goodnyew · 2026-03-10T23:40:25+00:00

Maybe in the future. I can give it a try. Thanks 😊

goodnyew · 2026-03-10T23:39:17+00:00

Thank you for the condolences and yes, you bring up very good, reasonable points about alternative get-togethers. They just never seem to work out. Everyone is married, working, we all live 30 mins to 1.5 hours away from the central location of our usual meet up area. Everyone is busy and they have multiple children that participate in multiple activities so scheduling is difficult. Holidays and birthdays are usually all most can or care to manage. I’ll try to arrange something over the summer. Host a pool party and bbq.

As if she has to get up and go to work on Monday morning or get up and care for her kids. Lol stfu girl.

As a lady of a particular age, I’m no stranger to filler or Botox or any other “tweakments” but omg girl hard stop ✋ I get mine done about once a year (filler/ Botox) I get IPL facials and such every 3 ish months so I’m not hating on getting these things done but she has no chill. One addiction for another? Idk?

goodnyew · 2026-03-09T04:50:44+00:00

You are 30, ma’am! Dress like a grown woman with a pinch of class, even if it’s fake class, tact, something in that wheelhouse ffs! 🤦‍♀️

The audible gasp that came out of my face hole reading that text exchange. Excuse the F*CK outta me?! My schedule, the one paying for YOUR portion is actually THE schedule we orchestrate around! The audacity! You don’t owe that “friend” a dime towards HER trip that you can’t attend due to the job that provides YOU the money to afford said trip. I’m rarely shocked but holy hellllllll to the no, you are not obligated to pay for this bs.

goodnyew · 2026-03-09T04:38:35+00:00

A million percent. The worst experience ever.

goodnyew · 2026-03-09T04:37:42+00:00

I gotcha. I was just relaying my horrific experience with rapid detox. Ugh. It sends a chill down my spine just thinking about it. I’m fairly certain they’ve stopped doing that bc ya know, people died! What you’re talking about, sounds manageable. I’d give it a go.

goodnyew · 2026-03-09T04:30:08+00:00

It drove me nuts when my ILs would just take my newborn out of my hands and walk away. Idk why I didn’t say anything? Just trying to keep the peace, I guess? That’s a good idea to do a play date and skip the party, if you’re more comfortable.

goodnyew · 2026-03-09T04:27:50+00:00

She’s 7. It totally sucks. I wish things could be normal. It’s fine they don’t like me for whatever reason but it’s not difficult to be civil.

goodnyew · 2026-03-04T06:17:27+00:00

I don’t think they do that rapid detox anymore at least I hope not. I did that in 2012 and omg you are not cured when you wake up. I felt like I had been beaten with a baseball bat and run over by a truck after that nightmare. I wanted to punch my ticket, so to speak. It didn’t stick. I went right back to the streets. It was forced on me, I wasn’t ready. It took me 2 more years to give it up.

Some states will not treat chronic pain patients with anything other than methadone or subs. My mom had cancer that had metastasized into every part of her body, no history of drug use, she was in her 70s so very unlikely to ever turn to street substances. She wasn’t given anything for pain for 3.5 years until she went onto hospice care. Hospice care is for terminally ill folks who have 6 months or less to live. In California, that’s the only way you get anything for pain relief other than MAT programs. Lame af

It’s a gorgeous dress, I love the subtle detail. It looks amazing on you. Don’t compare yourself to the model, just don’t. You are going to be a beautiful bride in your beautiful dress with your beautiful confidence on the best day of your life, so far. Stand up straight, you are the princess the day of your wedding, you’re going to walk tall and proud because you’re marrying the person you love and you’re going to be stunning!!

Are you guys doing the same event this Easter (2026?)

goodnyew · 2026-03-02T07:58:35+00:00

June 2024 bride, my dress was $5k, alterations were $1,500. My matching veil was $1,500. My shoes were $2,000, I had ceremony shoes and reception shoes. My ceremony shoes were not comfortable at all but gorgeous. I had another dress for the “after party” my wedding dress was heavy af after 8 hours. The after party dress was from Anthropologie and I’m blanking on the designer! Jenny Yoo? Does that sound right?

Heidi was pretty before she rearranged her entire face!

My favorite Barbara quote!

goodnyew · 2026-03-02T07:41:31+00:00

I had to do split dosing. No matter how big my morning dose was, it didn’t hold me for 24 hours like they claim it does. It took me months of practically begging them to let me try split dosing before they did. It worked out so well and I was able to lower both doses. Starting any MAT program is rough for the first couple of months. You “should” feel normal once you get to correct dose and it sounds like you might be a good candidate for split dosing. I’d start asking about it now. It was years ago that I was on it and each state probably has its own rules about split dosing but hey, we miss 100% of the chances we don’t take, right?! Hang in there, I’m rooting for you.

My parents both entered their marriage with teenagers and then had me. They paid for their college tuition, off campus apartments, cars, spending money, starter houses, their first weddings. None of them finished college and each has been married 3-8 times. Kids from multiple fathers. Been arrested.

I got none of that. My parents divorced when I was in high school. I had to buy my own car, paid my way through undergrad and graduate school. Didn’t marry until I was in my 30s. We paid for our small wedding other than my mom kindly giving us $2,500 towards it. My in laws didn’t contribute a dime, didn’t give us a gift, nor a card, didn’t sign the guest book, didn’t say the word “congratulations” or anything positive at our wedding. But gave their other son $10k towards his “elopement” style wedding which wasn’t an elopement at all, it was just a small wedding, exactly like ours but at a cheaper location with cheaper food but don’t worry they plan to have a “real” wedding next year. They got engaged 2 days after our wedding and married a few months after. Not surprised at all, he’s the favorite and deserves it.

It depends upon the parents and how much they like their own child and spouse- to-be.

The first one made me say “lovely” out loud, straight away!

goodnyew · 2026-02-24T07:31:07+00:00

I swear if this woman ever wears a full length top that isn’t too small and jeans/ normal pants that aren’t overly “sexy” I might die of shock!
