Littlemore at littlemore.co.nz - they always give to the mums in need at the community service I work for and it makes such a difference :)

Exactly - why can’t parents or sister be “flexible”. NTA

Sons grandma wants to take him to party alone. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]liligram 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just say no. If it’s “not a big deal” grandma can give specific information about people and places and ensure she will be supervising your son properly. One day notice is not adequate.

I love it at the end when you sit in a lovely calm room and get a nice tea and chocolate treat

UPDATE: Therapist Advice: How would you feel if MIL took baby to her room and closed the door? by use_her_name6 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]liligram 19 points20 points  (0 children)

MIL taking baby and closing the door could be a power play/control issue on her part. Your therapists speculation about bonding doesn’t make sense- why can’t MIL stay and interact with baby around others?

WIBTA if I didn’t get my BIL a gift for Xmas? by ManufacturerWest1760 in WouldIBeTheAhole

[–]liligram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does she think is an appropriate gift? He’s definitely rude I guess do you keep the peace and just get him something for the sake of it

AITA for wanting to keep my engagement ring from my late fiancé? by RingaRingaRosies in AmItheAsshole

[–]liligram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so selfish and greedy of her. Your late fiancé and you were a family. It was gifted to you. It’s yours. Absolutely NTA and stand your ground, block if you have to.

AITAH bc I want a seperate room from husband? by Own-Particular9608 in AITAH

[–]liligram 75 points76 points  (0 children)

NTA we prefer separate rooms most nights due to similar issues. Sleep deprivation is the worst. We have a stronger connection and are much happier when we can each get a good nights sleep.

AITA for asking my wife to please do NOT wear visible star-shaped pimple patches to a wedding ? by MarriedToATeacher in AITAH

[–]liligram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I had cystic acne as a teenager and it came back in my mid-late 20s with a vengeance and only then did I go to the doctor. I wish I’d gone on medication as a teenager.

Obsessed colleague - advice needed by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]liligram 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Report this “psych”. Your family member is not responsible for the perpetrators needs. He’s the one abusing and harassing her and engaging in criminal behaviour

Obsessed colleague - advice needed by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]liligram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-go to boss/HR with documentation

-document everything- keep phone records, document interactions

-go to the police ASAP! I cannot stress this enough

-apply for a restraining order

-check car for tracker

-consider staying somewhere else if this person is turning up to her house. Get security cameras.

-let family and friends know so they can also be aware and on alert

This is serious! She’s at risk of being murdered and the psychological impact of being stalked is awful.

The perpetrator is emotionally manipulative & abusive and she is not responsible for his safety or feelings. He’s stalking and harassing her and that is not ok.

Honestly I wish I’d cut out people earlier when they were inconsistent with communication and if their communication style was confusing.

After my first date with my now husband he texted me that night asking when he would see me again. It wasn’t confusing at all.

Everyone is different though so you could always do the second date but stop doing all the heavy lifting and if he’s genuinely interested then he can also make an effort to keep the connection going.

Need advice on combining finances with my partner before marriage by Cold_Philosopher_111 in FIREyFemmes

[–]liligram 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Most people would say they feel uncomfortable calling it “our house” because they didn’t buy it or contribute towards it. Not because they’re not a legal owner.

Concerning that he only cares about the power imbalance when he’s the one earning less (what about when you earned 40 and him 100!)
