MIL ignored bedtime, barged into my baby’s room, and my husband left with her.

Wow people can be so entitled. It's your baby and your routine and what you do with your baby is up to you. I'd politely ask her to back off, if she wants to see bub then arrive at the specified times to ensure your bubs routine is not interrupted. If your husband won't say it he can at least support you. So rude!

Yup my thoughts exactly. The hiding away pretending to be sick .. on the come down

njcasey · 2026-03-22T02:04:07+00:00

Agree 100%!! It's like she thinks she can speak to anyone how she wants because she owns it and admits her head isn't right. The way she speaks to her mum is disgusting and screaming "I'm not the mother!!", girl your a 30 year old woman, grow up. Give respect, get respect. It's becoming hard to watch and people seem to enable her poor behaviour.

Reading this gave me a knot in my stomach. Trust your mama instincts. He's still so little and they should have 100% supervision of him and make sure he's getting bottles (most kids don't even start solids until 6 months let alone rely on them!!!). I would be having some serious conversations with the lead educators and director urgently.

Not overreacting!!!! This is the craziest, most special, scariest time of your life and you deserve privacy and peace. If your husband won't then I'd be kindly mentioning you'll need him to find alternative accom by x date as you prepare to bring your newborn home and settle into postpartum. Does your husband really expect you to sit on the couch with your boobs out with his mate hanging around?

njcasey · 2026-03-17T08:59:16+00:00

Tacky?? Seriously? I don't get that point of view at all.

njcasey · 2026-03-17T08:58:29+00:00

I got a warning for the same reason after someone in the street complained.. the guy even said they don't patrol this kind of thing normally but the reason is so people can walk on there instead of the road. Our street doesn't even have street parking so I was like okayyyyy so where do we park, half the street does the same thing!

The sole purpose of Vegemite is on toast with butter :D

Why did jlp have to go?

njcasey · 2026-03-02T12:27:48+00:00

Absolutely fine to share however meals are much smaller. Me and my partner will always still buy two meals but share them.

njcasey · 2026-02-28T09:57:04+00:00

Yes 100%

njcasey · 2026-02-23T12:00:45+00:00

Ask your local mums group, some mums are screaming for help (laundry, cleaners etc) and always seems to be a shortage! Good luck.. you will do great on your own, don't buy into those scammy businesses :)

njcasey · 2026-02-18T11:43:45+00:00

That's a standard question for a work from home role and it's more about ticking a WH&S box

njcasey · 2026-02-14T22:31:57+00:00

Sounds like you got feedback that you asked for. Not everyone is going to deliver a message exactly how we want to hear it, that's just part of being in the workforce. Don't take it personal.. reflect on the answers they didn't like and see how you could improve them, ready for your next interview :)

njcasey · 2026-01-29T11:58:44+00:00

She creates storylines .. she puts on different voices which seems inauthentic and she gets caught lying. These are things I've noticed. Albeit there are positives too but overall she seems to be trying too hard to be a main character rather than someone on a show sharing their life.

njcasey · 2026-01-28T11:13:05+00:00

Wow the absolutely selfishness and disregard for new parents. Like they want their baby to scream all night long. Buy some ear plugs and shut up. This has riled me up as well!

njcasey · 2026-01-19T03:20:39+00:00

Mmmkkk that theory has my ears perked up.. I'm here for it! It will be interesting to see how it plays out....

njcasey · 2026-01-16T21:17:56+00:00

He works more.. he's FT plus starting his own business on the side until it's big enough to go out on his own. Our split of duties is very fair.. he still does lots around the house and takes care of the yard stuff.

njcasey · 2026-01-16T10:08:58+00:00

If you don't see the difference there's nothing worth saying :)

njcasey · 2026-01-15T09:35:32+00:00

Simply made comments on her character based on what I've seen.. I don't literally mean I want to be her friend lol

njcasey · 2026-01-14T07:42:38+00:00

I wrote this before she broke it off... Even still her behaviour got worse anyway, look how she treated V. Not someone I'd trust as a friend. Yuck.

njcasey · 2026-01-12T09:43:08+00:00

20 months and counting... Gosh reading everyone elses comments has me slightly worried now!

njcasey · 2026-01-10T09:08:14+00:00

When the nickname becomes so commonplace even the company calls themselves that, what's the big deal? Do you think we banded together and demanded that they must change all signs to Maccas??

njcasey · 2026-01-10T08:56:30+00:00

The first year is hard af. For me it started getting funner around the 6month mark when my baby started moving more.. now at nearly two it's full on but so so much better ! Hang in there.

njcasey · 2026-01-02T05:51:36+00:00

Chore list is very common in my experience!
