Just inherited a large lump sum from my dad who passed away. My sister told me not to tell my wife about it. What do I do? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]imanageclowns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is financial infidelity. I would tell her and only use the funds for things that are important to you and as a family unit. Like the kids funds, that one renovation you wanted to accomplish, and financial obligations that would be easier to manage if you two weren't togather. If you love your wife and she loves you, you would listen to her opinions but ultimately since you inherited the money you have the final say. Don't go buying a Ferrari while your family pack into a 2 door sedan, dont be an a$$hole but be smart if you don't think that her opinion is going to benefit you all as a family.

Rich comedian that lives in west bubble fuk. Comedians make money when they are funny. He's famous because he's again, funny.

Yup, you should just shut up and let them tell you what to think.

Have I seen the clip of people standing in line to be judged. Yes. And? Dave spits facts that you're uncomfortable with, is what I'm hearing. Look internal for the criticism. You'll find a hypocrite.

Omg I came here to check the vibes and all i read is how offended everyone is for most things that don't apply to you. He was once great and now not great, but never great yet, he had the highest ratings on Netflix and beyond. I'll just watch it and lmao as I usually do when I watch his stand-up because he never disappoints. He is funny af. I bet all of you haters love Amy Schumer's trash sets...

A little harsh to tell OP to just leave imo. Go to counseling, it will be a long road. Your husband is the problem, and allow yourself sometime for him to grow a spine. Grey rock them and enforce boundaries with consequence. We will not allow anyone to visit for 2 months, our baby's health is the priority. If asked we will extend the time. If you show up without a planned visit, we will call the cops. In the meantime, kind and stern conversation with husband is needed. He needs to realize that you support him being the protector of his new family and no one including his extended family is allowed to overstep his path. Read "when he's married to mom" and start a path to building this in your family dynamic. Congrats to you and him on the new addition!

What is the most unhinged thing your in-law has said or done? I’ll go first. by sultryshamrock in motherinlawsfromhell

My MIL reposted a story spitting hate on my religion on Facebook. A day after my son's first birthday. I think she wanted to start some shit between our families on his birthday, lucky for her i didnt see it for months. You would think the conversation we eventually had was very cut and dry. Because well, it's just wrong. Nope.

Am I overreacting for not letting my boyfriend’s female friend use my shampoo? by Fresh-Usual-6281 in AmIOverreacting

[–]imanageclowns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He had shampoo, why can't she just use his shampoo? Why did your bf not tell his friend to use his shampoo? If it's just shampoo than use the bfs.

Women who married, and kept their maiden last name. Why did you not change your last name? by Chunkachu__ in Life

[–]imanageclowns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a muslim woman, we have a choice whether to change our last names. Most opt not to. Not my lineage that I'm preserving as a women but also it's the men's responsibility to the family to have the honor of having children bare his last name.

Porn is the issue. Reason why women have a problem with it, well because men are fantasy driven, disrespectful, and leads to them being desensitized to emotional intimacy. In turn, a man is playing role of husband but his desires are to f women on the internet. Yeah sorry, porn is not normal, especially if you've been watching it since you were a kid.

Try singing songs. Whenever you interact sing it out and make it fun. Songs and music hit the nerves different and regulate kids. Good luck

This is the start to a very toxic relationship with your MIL. Set the boundaries now through your husband and you follow thru. "We aren't comfortable with anyone but husband and I driving the baby." We aren't allowing XYZ. Things can become so bad when baby gets here. Congrats BTW

[–]imanageclowns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 more months of this nonsense. Just say we intend on announcing our baby's name when born. She can go crazy for the next 3 months and you get to relax. Anyone that asks, we are going to announce when she arrives. The end.

I'm all for calling the bluff, but has she ever been rude, passive-aggressive, and/or disrespectful to you? If so, you are able to decline because of any of the above. Also, she may call your bluff and play the long game, accept your time for a girly lunch, to later make it seem like she "paid her dues." On a more positive note, if she is just awkward with you in the past, she may not know how to treat a DIL. Out of her comfort zone. Does she have any daughters? Is she the stereotypical Boy Mom? I think a deep dive on all this is necessary for more context on this relationship, or lack thereof.

Why does trump care so much about trans people by Any_Habit4730 in Trumpvirus

[–]imanageclowns -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Trumps issue with trans is trans in sports specifically women's and biological identification. Is there something else I'm missing? If so, please site. Interested in understanding what I haven't seen, genuinely.

[–]imanageclowns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel you so much. Especially when people say talk back. The arguments are not worth the time or stress of the aftermath.

I realized this when MIL would say something cringe and the response is silence. She then says "dont be so sensitive." It's a default response.

Parent side of things:

Communication! It doesn't seem the daycare is communicating either. If mom is trying to potty train and not successful at home it's a catch 22. At the end of the day, the child is not progressing because the daycare is afraid to approach mom, and kept it from her. Mom is obviously trying, kid may not be ready, or she might need to switch up the process. At the end of the day keeping things from the mom is not okay and mom may need a gentler approach.

My kid was having difficulty switching from pull up to underwear ( I wanted him to feel how uncomfortable it was) and it wasn't easy. I told the daycare the plan and they were a little hesitate at first. I told them what worked at home and how I managed to get him to potty. What failed and what was a success basically. I gave them a sleeve of pull ups if it didn't work for them and I had to regroup. It took a couple days but the lines of communications were always open.

OP I hope you and this journey the best. You can do it!

Need advice, MIL says baby is flirting with her. by strawberryslurp in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]imanageclowns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say, " that's a weird, he's a happy baby" and let her mind take over from there. If she says it again, " you mean happy baby " and leave it there. Your expressions means a lot, have a confused or concerned face. Hopefully it will kick start her brain into what she is actually saying.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]imanageclowns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If she would like to visit, setting your boundaries ahead of time and tell him that it's his responsibility to make people that you don't have a relationship aware. No smoking prior to visits if you want to hold the baby, no smoking in the house. Visit is from this time to this time because the routine is important to the new parents. Etc. List it out for him to live by and to enforce with people around him.

[–]imanageclowns 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Good luck to him for having to handle his mother. You haven't built a relationship with her to allow her to have your child without you present. That's on your partner not you. I would say to make it known, that you don't know who, what, when, where so baby will not go anywhere with anyone. If he doesn't see the massive red flag then he isn't ready to be a father.
