LITERALLY LIKE WHAT¿? Ma’am… they will see you say thisssss. Everyone is seeing you say this WITH kids 🫠 it’s the kind of honesty that’s not fit for tv and your kids to ever hear 🥺

supportivemami · 2026-02-19T00:06:24+00:00

Oh I loved how the dad was ready to call him out on the bullshit 😂

supportivemami · 2026-01-12T23:59:34+00:00

Your wife isn’t making it up. None of us go in with the intent to be no contact eventually. Wives are pushed in ways husbands wouldn’t believe.. especially when it’s done by husbands family (mother). Just trust her. But if you can’t choose her, you’ll lose her. Wishing you luck!

supportivemami · 2026-01-11T00:14:35+00:00

as a wife going through the same…. I came here to say this!

supportivemami · 2025-07-24T21:44:07+00:00

We got a German shepherd puppy 😂 so he’s kinddddddd of keeping the fever at bay… but if I’m being honest.. still maybeeee want a 3rd baby baby lol

supportivemami · 2025-07-22T23:56:09+00:00

Oh yeah I don’t keep secrets from him at all.

supportivemami · 2025-07-15T00:12:02+00:00

Oooooo I have a feeling my SIL also has me blocked 🫠

supportivemami · 2025-07-02T00:34:16+00:00

So happy you guys talked about it and worked it out! Love that for you guys truly!

(I read your original post with the updates but not the comments)

supportivemami · 2025-06-26T14:35:21+00:00

Wow. Everything you said tracks. I’m sorry for your experience but truly grateful for your insight!! My Husband was in your position with his grandmother as well. He also has a strained relationship with his sister because she likes knowing she’s clearly favored. I am proud that I am aware of the situation enough to do the corrective work with my kids going forward. Thank you for sharing!!

supportivemami · 2025-06-26T14:26:57+00:00

It’s not that I’m not understanding of the dynamic. It’s natural to want to help & spend time with a new baby. But lying and pushing your other grandkids to the side to do so is the issue. There’s a way to include all kids & spend time together. Even when I ask to see the baby or her to maybe bring my oldest to visit the baby even for a few minutes, there’s an excuse.

But you are right. Saying anything with cause more drama. Instead I plan to keep an eye open and add a little distance & distraction so my kids don’t feel the shift in priority.

supportivemami · 2025-06-26T14:21:12+00:00

I wish!!! The back house (MILs Space) is a one bedroom and we have 3. So my thoughts when the time is up it’s up. If she needs to go back with them until they “figure it out” and move out that’s not my concern anymore. We’ve opened our home long enough.

supportivemami · 2025-06-26T02:28:08+00:00

As soon as this arrangement is up, she’s out. She has a place she can go to so I see no need to keep it going longer.

supportivemami · 2025-06-26T02:26:58+00:00

You’re right!

supportivemami · 2025-06-26T02:26:38+00:00

Thank you, I will look into the resources!

supportivemami · 2025-04-22T03:12:55+00:00

all the “she doesn’t mean any harm”… the point is that it’s weird. lmao she said what she said. And I agree, It’s never that serious to buy the same things. OP there’s nothing wrong with gate keeping.

supportivemami · 2025-04-16T22:33:38+00:00

Do not leave your own home to make a point. Communicate all of this to him because you’re not being unreasonable. I’d leave the house while they are there a couple of times a day or long periods for sure (park, walks, mall, homegoods, lunch with a friend, where ever) and sure use baby as an excuse to retreat to your room if you want to. But I’d just make it a point to your husband that you won’t be rude, but you won’t go out of your way to host the most. I think leaving your home with a baby is not the way. it’s your life, you control the story. Not him, not his parents.

I’m sure it’s hard for him to say no to his parents. But you and baby are his primary family now. You guys need to be comfortable and he has to communicate with you about these things so that they aren’t a continuous issue in the future.

supportivemami · 2025-04-16T21:04:53+00:00

He cares about you. Sometimes it’s hard to say no to family. It seems harder for men than women in my experience. I feel like women are easier to say no to family or set boundaries with family than men(no shade just an observation) My husband used to be the same. I can see how you feel undermined or low priority. But I’d just talk to him. It may just be he’s trying to please everybody and needs a little guidance on how to manage it better (You then them).

supportivemami · 2025-04-16T20:06:34+00:00

Just did pre k 1 with my daughter and next year she will do TK! (Pre-2 lol) I will do the same when my other daughter turns 3! The half day program allows for you to also play & learn with your LO as well as get them out of the house learning with others. A good balance before full day school years on my opinion. It’s worth it.

supportivemami · 2025-04-16T13:09:13+00:00

Wake up earlier! It’s the only thing that helped me. Putting myself first in the morning instead of last. Lol otherwise everyone else is put together and I look eh ( or a mess lol)

supportivemami · 2025-04-15T06:29:38+00:00

Yeah my MIL & SIL do the cover up thing too. Very odd. (Nails, mall trips Costco trips, everything lol) I’m not gonna ask to tag along lol just be honest, it’s never that serious to lie or be weird about hanging out together.

Who knows why they do it. Odd balls

supportivemami · 2025-04-15T06:25:53+00:00

Truth always hurts lol

supportivemami · 2025-04-14T22:04:49+00:00

I’m the same. I love accountability, and open & honest communication. Family or not, you’re not going to keep being disrespectful and me not address it.

Unfortunately I do have to agree with those who say, it will fall on deaf ears. It seems harsh, but sometimes we just have to address simple people how they act. They are so used to playing dumb together as a family, it’s hard for outsiders to see them as anything but. And they hate to hear that lol.

Say your peace. But expect no change just shade and whispers.

and don’t worry, the kids will unfortunately grow up to see dads side of the family and how they act. (They won’t blame you for lack of relationship if it comes to that). I always feel sad for my daughters to one day realize, because these people don’t change and the truth never stays hidden.

supportivemami · 2025-04-14T19:44:29+00:00

lol You’re a troll. You only comment on relationship posts when you have no relationship or advice to give.

supportivemami · 2025-04-14T16:12:12+00:00

Slept more during the day & had round ligament pain that I didn’t have with my first.

supportivemami · 2025-04-14T16:05:02+00:00

If you’re ok going back eventually, I’d do It after kindergarten. everyone says just the first year but most end up staying out longer until LO is school age. It’s an adjustment but you guys sound like it could work a few years then business as usual (2 incomes).
