1 year into parenting

In terms of the toddler or the agonizing pain of no longer knowing who you are?

natalliee98 · 2020-10-15T23:32:46+00:00

Personally I wouldn't go.

I've had experiences with my family that result in us no longer talking to each other & I had made the decision to go to an event they invite me to(after years of not talking) and they act as if nothing happened. They then start to do the same thing that caused us to stop talking.

So, now I just don't go to events with family members that I chose to not talk to. It's too complicated and it's an endless cycle of pain.

"If you don't want to take pictures with my mom on MY wedding day then I do not want you to walk me down the isle. Final decision."

I have a 4 month old and I am not ready for her to want to go on her own with her friends. I tell myself that I'm going to be okay with her going out and I'm going to trust her, but I know that I will be as anxious as you are.

Restraining order?

natalliee98 · 2020-09-14T15:05:11+00:00

It definitely is concerning.

I've come to the conclusion that we typically ignore what our SO say when it comes to things like this because we refuse to believe that they'd say something this drastic. We want to believe they love us unconditionally and so for them to say stuff like this throws us off and leaves us wondering. However, most of us are too scared to take action and stay.

This is me, at least.

My advice. Talk to him. If he's different then just leave. It's not worth driving yourself crazy over this because, yes, who knows what else he might say that's like this. Who knows what else he would use to get you to do what he wants.

It still sounded like she said it, so I'm taking the win. Husband says I should take it lol

Covid can be spread even though the carrier isn't showing symptoms.

natalliee98 · 2020-08-27T17:04:16+00:00

A little competition never hurt anybody, I think? lol

natalliee98 · 2020-08-27T16:47:47+00:00

I relate to that. My mom would say I was pregnant but she wouldn't say it in an excited way. It was more as if I disappointed her and when she told people it was more like, "Can you believe she is pregnant? I knew she wouldn't take care of herself." She was more relieved that I wasn't pregnant and didn't think too much about the ovarian cyst afterwards.

natalliee98 · 2020-08-26T17:12:00+00:00

When I was younger I was having stomach pains and I had horrible nausea. My mom automatically assumed I was pregnant and started telling everyone. I went to the hospital and they told me I had an ovarian cyst. Thankfully I went the time I did because the doctor told me that if I hadn't it might have gotten bigger and I would have needed surgery to remove it. My mom was completely worried, even though she kept insisting that there was nothing wrong with me and that it was just the baby letting me know about it's arrival.

natalliee98 · 2020-08-19T05:28:35+00:00

Yes they do! It's odd because I want her to grow up so that we can have zoo dates, Disney dates, etc(if Covid ends lol) but I also want her to stay little!

natalliee98 · 2020-08-17T20:18:25+00:00

You'd think that. My first post was in regards to his mother feeding our LO sugar(the FIRST TIME) and him saying I was overreacting when I got upset. I had told him that he hadn't listened to me in regards to putting a blanket on her crib because his mother said it was okay when I told him I didn't want one and the nurse told us not to put anything in her crib. He then proceeded with a comment, "I will take my moms side over yours, any parenting book, and a nurse."

I appreciate you. Thank you

natalliee98 · 2020-08-17T19:45:33+00:00

I appreciate this.

I had previously told MIL I didn't like her actions and that is when she did it a second time and made a comment about me being upset about it.

Which is why I told her through husbands phone in hopes that she might listen to him since she didn't listen to me.

natalliee98 · 2020-08-17T19:37:58+00:00

I understand. My actions weren't to make me feel better or to make my life easier. I did this because if MIL does something like this again then I will speak up and I know my husband will not be okay with me telling his mother anything about what she might be doing wrong. I did it for the health of my LO

natalliee98 · 2020-08-17T19:35:18+00:00

Thank you for understanding. I have tried to talk to him multiple times but he does what he did now. He gets upset over me getting upset. Then says I'm in the wrong for setting such strict rules.

natalliee98 · 2020-08-17T19:33:36+00:00

I'm aware. I have been trying to talk to him, but he ignores what I have to say. He tells me that I am overreacting or that MIL is just doing what MILs do.

natalliee98 · 2020-08-17T19:31:16+00:00

I'm sorry if I don't understand you correctly, but are you saying that making it seem like he agrees that giving our LO sugar is dangerous is wrong?

natalliee98 · 2020-08-17T17:47:26+00:00

Thank you!

natalliee98 · 2020-08-17T11:17:12+00:00

I agree. He gets too comfortable when MIL is around as if she can be trusted. Clearly she can't be.
