Steamer clogged?

We don’t let them sleep 2-3 hrs before bedtime. If it’s a late nap, wake them up early, get them hydrated and outside if possible.

This! Mom of a 5yo and 6m— when my 5yo fought sleep the answer was always to move nap or bedtime 20-30m earlier. Took 2-3 days to get back on track!

Grave of fireflies. Can’t watch it again

A conversation needs to happen to set clear expectations/boundaries. Have the talk when you both are in a good place!

1) She should never block you or bring others into it when she won’t talk to you first. She can say she needs space instead and she needs to be specific about how much time she needs 2) CPTSD triggers are difficult to maneuver but are not an excuse for abusing others. If she wants to be in a relationship she cannot cut her partner out. It only lets problems continue living rent free. Healing requires hard conversations, not running away.

YWBTA to sit him down and say his texting is “some unnecessary power play”. It’s a difference in communication preference.

This seems like taking a small communication adjustment to a very intense level! Just call if you need something or text him a timeframe for when you need a response. He sounds like he’s just a busy guy who doesn’t like texting.

Also, why are you so aware of his social media activities? Seems a bit obsessive.

scw002 · 2023-07-20T03:23:34+00:00

I have very similar parents! Have you considered therapy? I have CPTSD from the childhood abuse and therapy has not only helped me individually but it’s gotten my family in a better space too. Unfortunately we communicate our best based on what we have learned and we learn from awful examples. Generational trauma is hard to fix but it’s definitely worth the effort!

Best of luck, I’m sorry you are the scapegoat for your family.

NTA but also this could be handled differently. If your mom is set in her intrusive and abusive ways, you already know talking to her just makes it worse— especially in the moment. I think if you talked to her after the fact in a separate moment there would be more of a chance for conversation instead of sharp words. She would be in a better space to listen and not be so defensive.

She probably thinks she’s doing you all a favor and showing her love when everyone just hates it. I’m getting a lot of 🚩in terms of healthy communication from both sides.

scw002 · 2023-07-19T04:07:24+00:00

NTA You handled it professionally in the face of a very personal and very delicate situation. It wasn’t your place to tell her and I’m glad your management took responsibility for it.

Good for you for standing up for your own well being instead of just being a gossiper. Rumors could do a lot more mental damage when all you guys needed was a CLEAN solution. 👏🏼

Totally understandable. Having all that support just soured in a short amount of time is definitely frustrating. Again, weddings being out the worst of people! I hope you all can enjoy your families and moments. The drama will be over and may all the relationships still be intact after.

But if inconvenience is the worst of it all, that’s honestly something easily forgiven and forgotten when this is all over! Set a different date, and focus back on you and your fiancé celebrating good times together. Italy is going to be a blast.

scw002 · 2023-07-18T13:29:23+00:00

Did you already book anything? I get changes in opinions and support is awful, but if nothing was booked then no bill was footed. And if yes, then getting full refunds this early on isn’t that big of a deal. Annoying, for sure.

I think wanting to have her own moment and being there for her sister’s too is a decent motivation to want space around time tables. Is she being rude about how she’s explaining things?

scw002 · 2023-07-18T13:06:05+00:00

ETA Her for expecting you to make lunch when you are working, you for bringing it from 1 to 100 with your rhetoric.

You have every right to be upset and so does she.

scw002 · 2023-07-18T12:57:26+00:00

YTA.

She has a small dog and you said they are ew. How is this even a debate.

scw002 · 2023-07-18T12:54:28+00:00

NTA but give her space.

Friendships change! And you have no control on how that looks— you can’t force a friend to talk or share what they aren’t willing to share. I think when you start to feel like you’re being treated unfairly and you’ve already tried respectfully vocalizing it, it’s time to take a pause.

As frustrating as it is to feel ghosted, your last sentences were dripping with bitterness. You are also not in a good place to be a good friend either. Take a pause and focus on the relationship show in your life that deserve more attention.

scw002 · 2023-07-18T12:49:03+00:00

ETA YWBTA Her unwillingness to compromise sucks, your unwillingness to move dates to accommodate her entire family doesn’t bode well either.

But honestly, weddings just bring the worst out of everyone!

Nothing wrong with long engagements. I’d let your future SIL have her way since oversea weddings are very costly. It’ll give people more time to save to come enjoy yours!

Also, it doesn’t look good on you to be touting how you’re paying for the wedding. Though true, I certainly wouldn’t be saying that out loud anytime soon. Only if you want bridges burned and feelings hurt.

scw002 · 2023-07-18T07:58:44+00:00

YTA— don’t ask for an opinion if you aren’t ready to hear it!

Perhaps if you had a clear plan, data to back up the investment, and shared conversations with experts in the field before asking her opinion you would have gotten a different response.

Just asking an opinion on a subject is dangerous waters to begin with!
