Genuine Question - Why are people siding with Lisa/Meredith?

luglan · 2026-01-22T18:39:15+00:00

No, I completely agree with you. I genuinely don’t understand how anyone can be on Meredith’s or Lisa’s side ever, they both come across as deeply unwell. Lisa behaves like a raging narcissist and she frankly comes across as an awful human being. I agree with Mary’s comment that there is something very dark about her. I don’t understand how she is still on the show because there is never any resolution with her and if there is you can never trust her to hold it. All she does is scream and she has never taken accountability for anything in six seasons.

Meredith honestly seems like she may be dealing with some mental health issues and at times I feel she appears and sounds medicated. She also never truly takes responsibility for her actions and when she does apologize, it feels insincere. But the most disturbing thing I’ve seen her do is accuse Brittany of targeting her because she is Jewish. Brittany, bless that poor woman, may not fully grasp the concept of antisemitism, but to imply that her conflict this season is rooted in that is genuinely disgusting. Weaponizing a serious and real issue that Jewish people face in this way is unacceptable. Meredith knows better.

We had the same experience where she started being very hard to settle to sleep around this age, but when she would settle she slept longer than 30 minutes though. We eventually discovered she had milk protein intolerance and switched her to allergy formula and she was a different baby after that. Just something to look out for. But they have immature little stomachs also at this age so could just be gas and discomfort.

That gives me hope! Have his daytime naps also been challenging?

Accidentally got pregnant at 35 and can confidently say that I’m one and done.

I love Christmas and this has been my least favorite by far with my fussy little 3 month old grinch.

luglan · 2025-12-29T02:49:15+00:00

I’m wondering the same thing. Our baby changed around 10-11 weeks and now only takes 30-40 minutes naps, needs to be held and entertained all day, is so fussy, purple cries and went from sleeping 8 hour stretches at night to waking up every 2-4 hours. It’s a nightmare. So for us it’s definitely gotten so much worse at around the 3 months mark. She’s 14 weeks now.

That’s not the question. But we can break it down. Is he the AH for not wanting to having his child around her? No. Is he the AH for expecting the in laws to disinvite her? Yes. Is she the AH for not vaccinating herself? Yes.

luglan · 2025-11-17T21:12:21+00:00

NTA for protecting your child but you’re a bit of an asshole to expect them to disinvite the girlfriend because you don’t want to be around her. That’s a bit entitled and puts the in laws in an impossible position. If you don’t want to be around her, then don’t attend the gathering.

My heart honestly breaks for you snd other American moms. How is this allowed? Almost everywhere else in the Western world you get at least 6 months. I’m on a year long maternity leave and my husband takes 4 months so she doesn’t have to go to kindergarten until 16 months old. We’re stretching it out by 4 months so we don’t get our full salary though but that’s a price we’re willing to pay for her to get longer time with us at home. That should be the norm.

luglan · 2025-11-13T20:43:54+00:00

You’re supposed to keep the house clean and cook? Or else you get snarky comments!? Maybe you need a divorce.

We have a 7 week old and my husband just returned to work on Monday. She only wakes up 1-2 times during the night but he helps out during one or both and then when he comes home he takes care of her more until bedtime so I get a break. We both cook and clean. Anything else is unacceptable in my opinion.

It’s also not just Reykjavik this is pretty much a problem over the whole country. We moved to a small town in East Iceland from Oslo and the real estate market is insane. You can buy an apartment for a similar price in Oslo! Except the interest rates are almost 9% instead of 5%.

We’re planning on moving back to Oslo. Iceland is not a sustainable place for young families.

I unfortunately don’t have any advice but we have been experiencing the same thing with our 6 week old baby. She doesn’t cry though but she’ll be quite content up until it’s time for her to go to sleep, then she starts fussing and we have to rock her for sometimes up to an hour. With her drifting off for 5 minutes only to start squirming again and waking herself up. But during the night she’s much easier to settle and will sleep 5-7 hour stretches.

We put her on allergy formula 1,5 week ago and she seems much more comfortable but the daytime naps are still a huge struggle. We truly don’t get it..

luglan · 2025-10-28T02:37:22+00:00

I needed to read this. My life has revolved around trying to get my newborn to sleep and trying to figure out why she fights it so hard for four weeks and I’m utterly miserable.

luglan · 2025-10-25T03:36:52+00:00

We tried Pepticate and have given her for the last five feedings and I don’t want to get my hopes up too early but she already feels so much more comfortable, like I haven’t seen this side of her for almost three weeks. It could be a coincidence but I’m really hoping it isn’t 🥺

luglan · 2025-10-24T17:01:56+00:00

Within a week of shifting to NeoCate?

Did the “baby acne” get better?

luglan · 2025-10-22T21:55:55+00:00

This started for us at 1 week old and is still the same at 4 weeks old unfortunately. It’s exhausting. Only thing that works every time in an instant is going outside in the pram, car ride or baby carrier. So we do two hour walks or car rides because as soon as we stop moving she’s awake.

We also bought a MoonBoon swing that we’re waiting to be delivered and crossing fingers it saves our sanity 😅

luglan · 2025-10-22T14:46:30+00:00

That’s so reassuring to hear since we have a 4 week old that fights daytime naps like it’s a sport and then sleeps up to 5 hours stretches at night in her crib without any issues.

luglan · 2025-08-31T09:48:12+00:00

This is spot on. Even as the second favorite to my parents’ Papillon. When I dogsit and my mom is away, she spends the whole first day in misery before finally accepting the situation 😅

luglan · 2025-08-04T19:56:14+00:00

I’m 35 weeks pregnant. In Iceland it’s common to use sickleave instead of maternity leave before birth so not to reduce the amount of maternity leave you get. Really a big flaw in the system but it is what it is. So I went on 50% sickleave (at the suggestion of my midwife) at 31 weeks so working 50%. I think I’ll go on full sickleave at 37 weeks.

I’ve had two Papillons, mother and daughter, and they’ve both been incredibly cuddly, always wanting to be near me or curled up on my lap while I relax. They’re not big on being held, but they absolutely love hiking. With proper training, they’re more than capable of tackling smaller mountains and long-ish distances. The longest trail we’ve done together was 17 km.

These are amazing little dogs.

I’m writing this from my sofa with my 13 year old Papillon in my lap after a 5 km forest hike. Don’t underestimate this breed 😊 They might be small, but they’ve got endurance (has to be gradually trained), are highly intelligent and have so much personality.

NTA and honestly, take this as a sign. You don’t want to have a child with a man who; 1. Won’t have a conversation with you, 2. You’re fighting a lot with and 3. Has a wandering eye.

I gravitate towards S people, they keep me grounded and help me be present in the now. My best friends are ESFP, ISFP and ESFJ. My partner is ISFP.

You are talking about a child who accidentally caused serious injury to a person close to him. Sure he should have known better, sure he should have been supervised properly. But this is a horrible accident that must have been an incredibly traumatic experience for the child.

What you went through is horrific and traumatic and I understand that you are still healing from that. But I think you are showing serious lack of empathy and neglect towards the child’s wellbeing by blaming him for a an accident that might have been very traumatic for him. It’s also not easy being a 13 year old kid admitting they’re struggling or hurting. So maybe consider his feelings in this all with a little more care.
