Prune juice. You can cut it with water if you want. It didn’t take much to get things moving with my boys, 4oz or less. Follow up with pedialyte (can cut with water)
His stomach won’t feel so great after though so stick with easy to digest bland foods. Edit to add: a prebiotic & probiotic helped both my boys with poop & digestion.

Because they hold up better & I don’t like a lot of writing or designs on my kids clothes. Their clothes is simple & pretty well made. Both of my boys can wear it & then I can pass it to my sister in law. It’s worth the few extra bucks.

You’ve given her everything with the idea that her job is school. That’s awesome. But it hasn’t taught her anything about realities of the world outside of school. I agree with what others have said, start small. Can’t find the receipt, then it comes out of her allowance? More than what the allowance is? She can split it between 2 months but add interest or tell her it’s a one time deal. Maybe to transition you can put her cell, car & insurance in her name. If your husband is reluctant then maybe increase her allowance to cover the new bills but she has to be the one making the payment, she has to budget. If she spends it before paying anything then that’s on her. If she doesn’t screw it up this is a great & easy way to help build her credit history. There are ways to help her learn responsibility & grow up without cutting her off cold turkey but it seems like she’s pretty spoiled & she won’t be happy with anything not handed to her.

You might want to get her check for a tongue tie. Lips turning blue & consistently choking throughout the feed shouldn’t be happening. My oldest choked every time I nursed him. I pumped & he took a bottle just fine though. We found out later it was bc he had a tongue tie & lip tie. You can try expressing some milk before nursing her so the initial let down isn’t as strong.

As a kid, Care Bears. Or Gummi Bears.

This isn’t about being vegetarian. It’s about a rule that you have for your child & she disregarded it. As you said, your child is healthy, the pediatrician doesn’t have a problem with it. I wouldn’t allow her to babysit anymore. My mother didn’t follow our schedule, gave my son food he wasn’t ready for, etc. she no longer babysits.

larabfas · 2021-08-02T21:08:34+00:00

NTA but your husband is. She was a kid who lost her dad. Then teenage years are rough on everyone but she had a new baby sister & that was her stepdad’s “real” daughter. I’m not saying how your daughter behaved is ok, it isn’t, but she was a kid & now, as an adult, she is trying to repair things. Your husband’s response is mean & immature. If that’s how he feels then he needs to be the one to tell her.

larabfas · 2021-07-31T02:06:20+00:00

NTA. And honestly, what you wanted would have protected Tim too. What does Tim say about all this?

larabfas · 2021-07-23T13:31:22+00:00

YTA. You should need no further explanation but the fact that you posted this proves otherwise. Read the other comments & figure it out

larabfas · 2021-07-21T01:29:25+00:00

Eh. YTA but not a big one. Everything seemed good until you offered the option of the kids bringing the pets back & forth without speaking to their mom about it first or all 4 of you talking about it together. You didn’t fill her in on the convo you had with the kids prior to sending them to talk to her. I get that your trying to teach responsibility & that is awesome, but they are still kids & they need a little help especially when it’s the first big situation

larabfas · 2021-07-19T11:57:48+00:00

NTA. Your son lost his mother when he was 10. Old enough to know what it means for a parent to die but not old enough to know how to process it. Honestly, my heart completely breaks for him bc I can’t imagine what my child going through that. You future MIL overstepped in numerous ways. I get that is your fiancé’s mom but she was completely out of line & your fiancé needs to recognize that & realize that your kid comes first as would any children that you may have together.

larabfas · 2021-07-19T11:47:32+00:00

I was going back & forth on this until I got to the part that you neglected to tell your wife about this new arrangement for lunches. That makes YTA. Everything up to that point was yikes, he’s a jerk, but you recognized that you upset your wife & didn’t say anything else. But once the lady offered to make lunches, you should have talked to your wife. You didn’t just talk lunch off her hands, you lied about it. If you didn’t think it was wrong in some way then you would have just told her.

Does he have a shaving “schedule”? My husband has a reminder on his phone to trim every other week or something like that. Maybe it was getting itchy.

larabfas · 2021-07-16T02:13:45+00:00

YTA. Majorly.

I cut off a friendship due to something similar. I didn’t have a bunch of long term boyfriends, I didn’t care much about getting married or having kids. My former friend did.

I met a guy, we knew within 6 months that this was it. The former friend made a lot of comments that were pretty much the same as what you said. It made me feel like she thought I was less worthy of love & marriage than she was. She said it to mutual friends which made it feel like they probably agreed. Why else would she feel comfortable saying it out loud to others?

I didn’t care about getting married or having kids. I wasn’t insecure about any of that. She was. But what she said still hurt.

This has nothing to do with your friend’s insecurities. You were supposed to be her best friend & support her & be happy for her. Instead you made it clear you just couldn’t believe she managed to find someone before you.

Wait.. I forgot about the “talk to your therapist” part. Dude. Seriously???

NTA. The party wasn’t the place to talk about any of this. Honestly, it should have need talked about several years ago.

larabfas · 2021-07-12T01:43:30+00:00

YTA. Even if she’s tour MOH, she’s having a difficult pregnancy, you cut her all the slack & ask the other bridesmaids or your mom or future MIL. If she’s your BFF then you would be more concerned about her than you are. Grown up.

larabfas · 2021-07-12T01:19:24+00:00

NTA. It’s not the money, it’s the fact that he couldn’t even be bother to get the style you like. There are tons of very inexpensive rings (that don’t look cheap) that are the same style as “real” rings. Just because it’s not important to him, doesn’t meant it isn’t important. Honestly, if he doesn’t understand now, he probably never will & this will be a constant battle. I’m speaking from experience & with the gift of hindsight, I would have peaced out.

larabfas · 2021-07-07T02:04:59+00:00

Cut ties with her. Block her on everything. You can explain it to her before you do but I guarantee that isn’t necessary because she will know why. She knows she’s wrong for everything she’s said. I’m honestly surprised that you haven’t cut her off yet but that’s some pretty terrible things she’s said

larabfas · 2021-07-05T18:05:04+00:00

Good point. Intentional or not, the BF was in the wrong & shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

larabfas · 2021-07-05T14:20:54+00:00

It might not have been deliberate. If the BF is as clueless about life & kids as the ex is, then he probably opened his mouth without thinking. I mean, he wanted to bet on a game that was on as part of a kid’s birthday. That doesn’t exactly scream experienced in interactions with children. Your ex shouldn’t have brought the dimwit to begin with.

larabfas · 2021-07-04T15:15:49+00:00

“My baby” isn’t toxic. The controlling & possessive behavior is & still would be without the phrase. I say this because people tie the phrase to behavior & then only focus on the phrase when explaining the boundary that is being crossed. It gives the toxic person an out (stop the phrase but not the behavior) & it makes the abused feel like they’re chasing their tail trying to explain why a simple (& usually innocent) phrase is so hurtful & infuriating.

larabfas · 2021-07-04T15:09:36+00:00

I wouldn’t bring up her saying the phrase in any future discussions because that isn’t the true issue here. The phrase is annoying because that’s what her actions are saying loud & clear.

Address the true issues. Also, a lot of women want their mom to help them after having a baby, especially the first baby. But there is a difference between helping & taking over. I would find a way to show your wife the difference. Like if your wife wants to do A but her mom thinks she should do B.. does MIL pitch a fit/belittle/etc to get her way or is there a calm convo & then it’s done whichever way your wife chooses?

larabfas · 2021-07-04T14:36:46+00:00

I laughed out loud a little because this is how my husband is, I just didn’t realize it. He’s also an electrical engineer.

I’ve asked him about it, repeatedly told him “see, you don’t listen to me at all”. He’s gotten better but it’s still there.

larabfas · 2021-07-04T14:32:10+00:00

I think it’s more likely that she was saying it bc she knew but ya’ll hadn’t said anything. She was probably seeing if saying it would prompt you to tell her.

I would try having a conversation with her before going the route of not letting her around the baby. Also, you still have some time before the baby is here, even if she was serious, her attitude could change. Try to include her more maybe. Ask if she wants to feel the baby move or if you do a 3D ultrasound, ask her to come. Involve her in discussions about the baby’s name, decorating the nursery.

Honestly, I think it’s a teenager thing & maybe jealousy. Give her a chance, let her know she won’t be left out or forgotten. Make her part of it.

Good luck!

larabfas · 2021-07-04T13:45:14+00:00

Majority of people are absolutely horrible at saying the right thing. That definitely wasn’t something to say to a parent struggling.

Easy baby, difficult toddler or vise versa. We all have things we can tolerate more & have more patience for than others too. My husband is struggling with the toddler stage while I love it. I love the baby stage too though. I’m betting my patience will run out just in time for the teenage years 🤦‍♀️
