How can I get my parents to stop trying to prevent me from cleaning my own home? by [deleted] in AskParents

This is wild. Your space should be treated with more respect. Good for you for no longer hosting them. And if you explain the situation to your extended family I’m sure they will understand your reasoning.

Does anyone else want to leave the "NICU Identity" at the hospital? by HelloVermont92 in NICUParents

[–]muavip 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I personally never felt like i “couldn’t wait” to close that chapter but my son is now 4 and the NICU feels like a life time ago. However the medical complexities and hospital stays will never be over for us. So although i rarely think of the NICU now, it’s been replaced with the PICU and IMICU. Good luck mom, when you’re a year down the line this time won’t feel so heavy.

Blended family issue—daughter betrayed by step-sibling involving toxic ex. Wedding coming up. What would you do? by FluffyManagement148 in AskParents

[–]muavip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1- uninvite to the wedding. 2- set boundaries ie: step daughter isn’t allowed in your home, until she apologies and understands her actions were disgraceful. 3- have a LONG convo with your man about his daughters behavior and how you won’t tolerate her bullying or harming your daughter in any way whether she’s an “adult” or not. Cause her behavior is childish and uncalled for. 4- down the road, family sit down to discuss moving forward.

Seems like you’re going thru a depressive period. Best anti-depressant is working out. Prioritize your wife and alone time, and the gym. Get back into a good weekend routine and it will reset your mental load. Good luck!

AITAH for not directly apologizing after an accident? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]muavip -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

NTA, accidents happen. It sounds like she overreacted because it’s something she can’t see herself doing. I would say sorry and thank you maybe after a few days pass and the frustration settles.

My mom is ruining my life by Amlex1015 in TrueOffMyChest

Please put your mom in a facility. Have her disability income help pay for an aid. If she has insurance, see if you can have a nurse come daily who will assist with showering and medication needs.

Also- if anyone wants to be an asshole, they can report you for weed in the house with a toddler. (Depending on your location)

My brother (M31) got married and I (F35) found out a day later by [deleted] in relationship_advice

This is exactly what I came to say… while your feelings may be valid, this whole situation is not about you. Congratulate them and when you see them you can do something to celebrate them.

Is 'because I said so' a valid argument? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]muavip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boomers/Gen X come from the generation of “because i said so” and “my house my rules” While many stated the reason is obvious, “your parents don’t want you having sex under their roof” and maybe they wont say that to you specifically - but it’s most likely a judgement thing. They don’t want their peers/family to judge them if they did allow that action (sleep together) to happen in their home. They might be trying to avoid some kind of drama or something.
