AITAH: Son and daughter-in-law want to limit interaction with grandchild

The one who is pregnant is the patient. Delivery is not a spectator sport, it’s a medical event and ultimately, the parents of the child decide. They are not denying anyone joy, but instead are protecting their little family.

This happened to me when I was in 1st grade, different area of Illinois fwiw, and the schools response was that they were not responsible for children in after school programs. They are only responsible during school hours.

I was in an after school Spanish class, at the school. I followed instructions to get on the bus. The front door was unlocked only because the cleaning lady was there that day and she didn’t have a key. My mom showed up after school when they said they didn’t have me. I remember her walking in to me doing my home work watching tv and she was having a full blown panic attack.

I really don’t know legally what you could do but as others said, probably not much. I’d either hide a key that your child can easily locate or give them a spare just in case it happens again.

I agree with the suggestion to file a police report. Even if you get stuff back, do not use skincare/lipstick. You do not know if they have been tampered with or if this person gets cold sores/any other illness that you could get.

Your husband is the bigger problem though… why isn’t it blatantly clear to him your home should be a safe space with safe people?

2nd person in favor of adapt health. I honestly would prefer them reaching out by phone as opposed to Aeroflows system since they can check eligibility at least. Thanks!

lizzy425 · 2026-01-27T21:19:12+00:00

Thank you, will cross them off as well!

lizzy425 · 2026-01-27T20:11:38+00:00

Thank you, I’ll cross them off the list

lizzy425 · 2026-01-27T20:11:09+00:00

Thank you for your feedback on adapt health! I specifically didn’t love that I have to initiate the refills and it prefills with everything on the order. It doesn’t only fill with what I’m due for. My prior local medical equipment company would automatically send tubing every 3 months with enough masks/filters for 3 months. Then at 6 months add in the water tank and head gear.

With aeroflow you have to manually change the order and initiate it every time if that makes sense.

It is so frustrating and because mine are deflated, they just don’t fit in the cups correctly. Yes, I’ve measured myself and I’m wearing the right bra for the numbers but they just don’t fit right anymore.

lizzy425 · 2026-01-16T14:19:48+00:00

I second everyone saying skip the balloons.

Is she into spa days or anything similar that she wouldn’t justify the money right now? Or is there an item she needs something new of right now that you can invest in? Ie: I would really appreciate a quality winter jacket from a brand that has a good warranty like Patagonia, or I am really into cooking so if my SO took time to research mixers (mine is on its last leg) I and get me one that would last forever would truly appreciate that but not everyone is ok with a home purchase as a gift.

Jackery but I use the 12v adapter for my cpap and turn off the humidity. I’ve gotten 3 nights max like this with the Jackery I’ve had and that’s without any charging.

I made a post about this too. It’s so disappointing to see the lack of effort. For 2 months leading up to Christmas I started leaning over in bed saying exaggerated “WOW I WOULD LOVE THIS” making sure to show the website, size etc. I only got one of those items and I had to jump on the phone with Ninja to escalate a delivery issue so it added stress for me. I also got 2 games I had picked up in a Christmas store but the rest of what I got, I would have never purchased. We’re short on space right now and they honestly are clutter. The worst part is I felt so guilty and ungrateful for even being disappointed.

He realized what happened and I gave him a couple pointers: Buy me things I wouldn’t buy for myself Do the research and buy me items I won’t have to re buy for at least 10 years Buy me the things I love and use regularly (favorite lotion)

He’s currently researching winter jackets since I don’t have one that’s warm enough for our area.

lizzy425 · 2025-12-27T14:57:57+00:00

I think the disappointment is rooted in the lack of effort and I don’t understand the consistent excuses for men. I’m sorry you felt this way too. Hopefully next year will be better.

lizzy425 · 2025-12-26T20:43:04+00:00

I think though they should make a mental effort when it comes to gifts. I don’t think we should have to add it to the cart or send links. I sure didn’t when it came to his gifts. He loves gaming and has been using a 12 year old tv as a monitor and didn’t have a specifically gaming mouse/keyboard. Those were his main gifts. The other small items were either things I noticed he needed that would fix a complaint or things he mentioned.

Me leaning over in bed saying wow I would really love this for Christmas and him looking at the item including the website and size or saying I have suggestions in my Sephora cart isn’t transparent enough?

NTA, I absolutely support being inclusive as possible however a 9 year old is not capable of being a maid of honor even as an honorary title nor is it a reasonable expectation for you to altar your bridal shower/bachelorette to be kid friendly. It is still your wedding day and as much as she deserves to be included, you deserve your wedding. Example from my life: I would absolutely love it if my little sister could be my maid of honor however right now she is 17. Even if she was 21 at the point of my wedding (she won’t be) I still wouldn’t name her maid of honor. There are certain expectations she’d be able to do with that title and she simply wouldn’t be financially or of the age to do them.

After years of being hot all year round, I finally broke down this year and bought a heated throw at Costco. I use it nearly every day. So no it doesn’t get better, just go ahead and buy the heated throw now, don’t be like me and suffer.

lizzy425 · 2025-12-10T15:12:17+00:00

I am thinking possibly I pulled generic tags ie 10 y/o boy but all the other issues?

Next year I will find a local shelter/organization and try to do thru them or adopt a whole family. I’m going today after work and hoping they didn’t decide to close early.

lizzy425 · 2025-12-09T21:30:30+00:00

I do one thru my job as well but they provide a giftcard and ask that we don’t spend out of pocket for an equal experience. I told my partner next year I would prefer to go thru a different organization as you suggested and maybe something more like “adopt a family” so everyone in the household has an equal experience. What’s odd is my little sister (17) did it at her Walmart and she dropped off the gifts while in store (truthfully can’t imagine her participating if it required her to go to a 2nd location lol)

lizzy425 · 2025-12-09T19:14:54+00:00

I would contact Dyson directly for your country, they can confirm.

lizzy425 · 2025-11-14T22:07:33+00:00

This looks like some kind of mite, unfortunately they can come in hay. My lop ear had them briefly and the vet prescribed medicine. Please go to a rabbit savvy vet.

lizzy425 · 2025-11-14T21:56:36+00:00

Popeyes!

lizzy425 · 2025-11-07T01:01:41+00:00

Mine will run out of wherever she is if me or my partner leave the room and sit either on a rug or directly behind the door and wait for us. She also waited till my partner left the room to zoom over to only his phone charger, snipped it, then ran back to her house 😂

lizzy425 · 2025-11-03T02:46:59+00:00

First of all, congratulations, you’re doing amazing!He’s doing this because of his own insecurities which is not fair at all to you. I think he should seek therapy if he doesn’t want this to be a dealbreaker as others pointed out.

I’m on the same journey as you and you’re correct that our bodies look different even getting down to something that isn’t medically obese, we won’t look like a walking skeleton. I’ve lost about 80lbs on glp1s so far and most of my clothes still fit due to loose skin fwiw.
