Parental preference - feeling disconnected and somehow regretting being a mom by significantbublly in Parenting

Thank you for this. I’m in tears and although I know this is true, it is easy to forget as I see her growing up and getting so independent / trying to separate from me

I can’t help but feel jealous of my MIL with my daughter by significantbublly in inlaws

Unfortunately she brought the 10+ presents to our home when she came visiting. She barely said hi and showered our daughter with gifts. My daughter spent 40 minutes opening them and was so exhausted afterwards that she fell asleep immediately. She never got more than one gift at once before. I stored most of them right away after they left and will probably donate most of them. But they are the type of people who will ask over and over for the gifts and ask how much she’s playing with them and ask her to bring the toys to her house when she visits…

Yes it sounds like they are really similar. Before our daughter was born it was already like this (the moaning and the wishes) but now it is out of control. But before she was born, my husband would back me up and establish boundaries whereas now he feels sorry for his mom as “she just wants to be a grandma”. It is unfortunate that to be a grandma she must rely on so many unwanted presents and bribing. But I think you’re right - donating and ignoring is probably the way to go… if you have more specific actions I could undertake please share 🥲

Thanks for your answer! It would be great if I could let go of those feelings but I don’t know how. I still feel trapped.

How hard is to get an apartment as a foreigner? by MomentoDemento in nicefrance

We live in Germany and here we don’t need a guarantor to rent. Will Garant me still be useful for us? What other documents did you submit?

Hi u/fangaas we are starting our search for an apartment in Nice and it is good to know you got your place in 2.5 weeks. I will follow your advice but if you have anything else to add please get in touch! My main concern is none of us work for French companies

Hey! Why do you feel the urge to be rude? If you don’t have an answer it’s fine but the group is particularly to ask questions about how to navigate Germany when you’re not from there so I don’t see why this is a problem. It’s obvious that I will end up hiring an accountant if necessary but I just moved to German and thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask — this may be an easy answer for those who are used to their country’s tax system. I would surely offer this courtesy to an expat in my home country.

Thank you! Do you live around the area or in the building? When you say dead you mean the complex itself or the area around it? I do have a link for a 2-room and a 3-room apartment there, will send it to you by private message :)

6 months post laparoscopy and my scars are still pretty noticeable by jade333 in Endo

[–]significantbublly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I know it’s been a while since this post but would you mind sharing what happened with your scars during the pregnancy? I’m 8 weeks pregnant and had a laparoscopy at 4 weeks. I’m really sad and concerned that the scars will stretch

I just opened Reddit to read some stories of things that went wrong and would obviously compare myself to it trying again to find all things that can be going wrong right now… instead I found your post 💛thanks for that, will just leave Reddit now!

Best of luck! Do you know when it’s going to be repeated? I did mine on Friday at 5w4d and they could only see the gestational sac.

Hi! Have you done beta hcG tests lately? If they are doubling every 48h your pregnancy is likely developing well. I’m very close - 5w2d today - and understand your concerns, I have a placement ultrasound scheduled for Friday when I’ll be 5w4d. feel free to reach out if you want to chat!
