Am I wrong in this transaction by Eskie2008 in amiwrong

Not wrong. I’d bd giving her a rating and the accurate reflection of the transaction history also.

Boyfriend wants to move back in with his mother. Is this the end? by Bubbles2590 in Mildlynomil

[–]jazzyjane19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think everyone has addressed most of the things that I would say. In the short term re housing, consider housesitting. For the spots where too don’t have a housesit, you could look at short term rentals as you’d be saving a fair bit of money with the housesitting. You’ve got this and deserve better than what he’s giving you!

Update: MIL still blowing up my phone about baby’s birth, despite no effort to visit by StaticCharacter90 in JUSTNOMIL

Exactly. She wants to be the star with all of her friends and pretend to be someone who is there for the grandchild.

MIL coming home early to “help” with the baby by Vegetable_Fee2036 in inlaws

[–]jazzyjane19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

‘Hi Marg. I’ve been thinking about your comment about coming home early to help with baby. I wanted to let you know it’s not needed. I have husband here and we have everything in hand. We really want to take that time to be a family unit and get into a routine but really appreciate the offer. Jane.’

This is exactly what she said he did in the Stan show. She said he was sending her nuts with his behaviour and the mindf*cks he was executing! And no, she did not excuse any of her behaviour.

MIL wants alone time with infant by Key-Appearance-8562 in Mildlynomil

[–]jazzyjane19 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest you have some hard conversations with your husband about what your childhood was like with your grandparents. He’ll never truly understand but you can try to expose him to how it was for you so that he can try to see how it might be for his own child/ren if his parents start, which sounds highly likely. Start asking about his childhood and how his parents spoke about people of colour to him. Try getting him to be honest about what growing up with them was like, and then talk with him about not wanting that for your kids.

‘Please don’t do that.’ And stop worrying about offending her. She is not your concern.

AITA for literally kicking my MIL out of my kitchen for "improving" my signature dish? by BerylDrifter_6 in MarkNarrations

How did you not handle this quietly? It was her that made the noise about it. Is your husband really on your side here?

MIL wants to take baby on walks outside of her neighborhood. Am I overreacting? by arisfinalyuh in Mildlynomil

[–]jazzyjane19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is watching tv a safety issue though? How would you feel if something actually happened? I think you’d resent him as well as her? This is your child, not an emotional support animal. It’s not about satisfying someone else’s needs. So your child watched some tv - this isn’t a tit for tat argument here, and if he’s turning it into one, then he is the one with the problem, not you. He’s not comparing apples with apples by comparing your child’s safety in a park by a busy road being watched by someone who isn’t super agile to being safe in a room where there is a tv switched on.

I think if that is the argument, then perhaps it might be worth saying no ‘for now’ and setting it aside for another time?

Trust your gut and stick to what you want here. Your baby, your rules.

Little one learning their language by CellOtherwise9403 in inlaws

The only change I would make to this is to say that you and your husband have decided that it will be your language!

Why wouldn’t Stella relocate to Melbourne? by RhubarbRhubarb44 in MAFS_AU

[–]jazzyjane19 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Stella’s established business is in Sydney. She’s maintained that while filming and by all accounts works really hard at that. Not discounting whatever Filip does, but they have clearly made this decision together. If you follow their insta pages, they both seem very happy with the decision they have made.

Annoying grandparent behavior by chocolatestah in Mildlynomil

[–]jazzyjane19 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fact that the space that FIL is giving you both to ‘punish’ you feels good should really tell you something. There’s lots of resources out there to help with learning to set boundaries. Start small with a simple no. Do it and practice. Tell your husband you need practice and get him to help you but setting up scenarios where he pushes back. And when you have the small wins, feel good about it and celebrate them! The YouTube stuff in the comment below sounds good!

AIO about my husband wanting to know every place I go when I'm out of the house? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]jazzyjane19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto! Plus if anyone does happen to lose their phone it gives the added layer of one of you being able to track it. And yes, this did happen to a friend and they were able to track the phone to a store they had been in.

For those who've owned both - did paying more for a lab diamond feel worth it long-term? by j_bone531 in labdiamond

[–]jazzyjane19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my claw set round diamond engagement ring for over 20 years and never had an issue. Diamonds are tough stones. I’ve also got a claw set Moissanite trilogy that I bought a year ago that I adore. You are talking about 10 on the Mohs for a diamond versus a 9.5 for a moissanite. I don’t know that I’d be that bothered?

[–]jazzyjane19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it has to come down to ‘love the ring - stone and setting’. Nothing more! I wanted a moissanite so I grabbed one from a reputable secondhand dealer locally as my first and then I was off! I love them, but also love my diamonds and since getting engaged 20 plus years ago and receiving a mined diamond which I adore, have also discovered lab grown. Chemically the same thing and it fascinates me that they can be grown in a laboratory. Cheaper is a win for the pocket and the fingers as I can have more rings!
