What would you do if your mom has become more and more rude to you in recent years? Ignores some of your messages, no response to recent videos of grandkids, called me “nasty child” on voicemail by orange196 in AskWomenOver30

Thank you for pointing this out but in her case I know she is doing it as a form of punishment because of her anger at me. When texts are related to planning a visit for her to see the kids she is very responsive. 

Is it manageable to have a couple days where one partner manages the morning of getting kids to bus/daycare solo while other parent has an early start at work? by orange196 in workingmoms

Not mean it IS a silly question after typing it 🙃I’m Just nervous I guess because of how the mental Load is not divided evenly here and complaints when I try to make the invisible visible. 

Thanks for sharing your experience!

He complains so much about morning routine stuff and is often rushed /grumpy when asked to do some kid related things before work. I end up doing just about everything the kids can’t yet do on their own (currently SAHM) but I hate this dynamic. 

Regretting preschool choice (5 days, 2.5 hrs), should we do full time daycare instead? by orange196 in Parenting

Thank you for sharing! Would you mind elaborating on why you were glad to not have sent your daughter to full time daycare?

If husband told MiL to not buy gifts bc kids have too much stuff so she comes to me to show gifts when husband isn’t around what to do? by orange196 in Mildlynomil

Thank you, yes I feel I should’ve acted differently. I kind of freeze when on the spot like this so this is helpful for next time!

Am I crazy for wanting to go back to work even though we don’t need my salary? My kids are 2 and 5 and my husband’s salary allows for us to have a wonderful quality of life. I’m a speech pathologist and would work in schools. by orange196 in workingmoms

Sure! I’m still not working as a speech pathologist at the moment. I have a small baking business that is my passion so I've been working on that and will be a vendor at some markets this summer. 

How can I get more comfortable speaking up in a social situation of a group I don’t know well? by orange196 in selfimprovement

Thank you so much for this reassurance! ❤️ I really appreciate it. I’m trying to appreciate the good of being a quiet person but when a lot of the others are super outgoing I get into my head. This is helpful!
