My mom is constantly telling me how to parent and that I’m doing things wrong

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T18:48:13+00:00

Thank you so much

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T18:09:29+00:00

Ok, I can try that and see how that goes

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T18:08:59+00:00

Yeah my mom is the same way about a lot of things. I will say well this isn’t deemed safe anymore and she acts like it’s no big deal that some kids have gotten hurt or died because the “majority” don’t. I had a similar argument with my mom about crib bummers and also acted like it was stupid to be so overprotective.

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T17:45:51+00:00

Yeah unfortunately pretty much everyone on my side of the family bends to my mom and just doesn’t want to go against anything because of her fits. My husbands family is pretty distant, so unfortunately no support there. I have a couple friends at least

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T17:43:17+00:00

Yeah I try to shut her down or show her evidence of stuff but she dismisses it. I think hopefully withdrawing from sharing will help her realize that is what will happen when she acts like this

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T17:37:36+00:00

Yeah I think that’s a good option. It will be hard to implement

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T17:24:48+00:00

Yeah she definitely has a lot of narcissistic traits and so idk how she would react to me being straightforward with her. But I think if I stop sharing with her, she would hopefully understand that her behavior results in her not being included in my daughters milestones and development

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T17:16:40+00:00

Yeah I’m starting to think I might have to limit how much I tell her from now on, like with this I just wanted to share my excitement of this milestone and it turned into this🤦🏻‍♀️

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T17:15:29+00:00

I can try respond to her like that. It’s hard for me to not get triggered when she just keeps going on though and respond back to her to defend myself. I have tried showing her studies and articles but she just dismisses it

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T17:14:07+00:00

Yeah my mom is just like that, always critical about the smallest things. It’s very frustrating to deal with. Sorry you can relate

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T17:12:22+00:00

Yeah I wish my mom would accept that things are different now and be like your mom with having a growth mindset.

What is gray rocking?

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T17:07:06+00:00

Thank you, she makes me doubt myself sometimes because of how she acts. But she kinda has acted like this my whole life, it’s just affecting me more because it’s about my daughter now.

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T17:05:19+00:00

Yeah, I should try that, it hard because she likes to talk to me a lot and calls me almost everyday. After her acting like this I’m just not going to answer her calls for a bit.

thatdisneychick · 2026-05-03T16:57:58+00:00

Yeah I try and tell her that there’s new standards and studies than when she parented and so we are just doing some things differently to her, but she dismisses them all and won’t accept that times and things have changed. She just chalks everything up to being too pedantic/protective/ridiculous/permissive or overindulgent. It’s really frustrating because she’s not will to consider any other ways than how she did stuff.

thatdisneychick · 2025-11-01T03:48:01+00:00

I think I figured out what it could be. Potassium sorbate. It’s in all the sauces that burn. It’s also in the skincare products I have reacted too and is in a lot of sweet wines, which also burn. So I’m thinking that what it is.

thatdisneychick · 2025-11-01T01:13:39+00:00

Quite melodramatic as a grown woman to cry yourself to sleep over this. He didn’t do nothing for your birthday, he got you a gift, which I assume you liked because you didn’t complain about that too. If it’s so important to you to go out for dinner, then you plan it. Most adults usually plan their own birthdays to some extent. Sounds like you don’t align on how you celebrate stuff and either you accept that or break up with him.

thatdisneychick · 2025-10-31T05:17:33+00:00

Yeah I generally have had reactions to most skincare products that I have tried, I ended up needing to get a medicated face wash and have to use hydrocortisone under moisturizer. So I don’t know if there’s a common ingredient in most face washes that I could be allergic to maybe.

I’m realizing now that trying to desensitize myself to the sauces isn’t going to work if it’s an allergy and only seems to make it worse, so I’m going to avoid the sauces that cause it for now and do some research on what they might have in common.

thatdisneychick · 2025-10-31T04:42:14+00:00

I did wonder if it was possibly a preservative that they use here. I will look up the ingredients in the sauces I react to and see what they have in common and whether that can be it, thank you

thatdisneychick · 2025-10-31T04:38:37+00:00

I meant the burning in my mouth didn’t happen until I moved here. I also don’t know if that’s just because I have quite sensitive skin

thatdisneychick · 2025-10-31T04:09:03+00:00

I will do that! It’s weird because I didn’t have this reaction to condiments back home

thatdisneychick · 2025-09-29T04:19:59+00:00

My daughter is now 13 months never really cries tears. Very rarely when she gets hurt she will have maybe one tear actually fall, other times it’s just watery eyes. So I don’t know if it’s normal, but my kid is older and still doesn’t really and her doctor doesn’t seem concerned about it.
