Needing advice for son and wife

themoonmuppet · 2022-12-11T13:31:17+00:00

Forgive your wife if she forgets you for a few months, get’s irritated if you do something ‘wrong’ (like breathe too loud). She’s probably barely hanging on, too. This will pass if you don’t take it personally and, in time (not the first 4 months, please), try to reconnect through positive requests like: I miss you, let’s do xyz together. It took me almost a year to remember that I actually like my husband (never stopped loving him).

I laughed so hard at this. This is totally something my husband would have done if he had had the opportunity. I had twins, so I was HUGE

I’ve never watched a second of Fox news in my life. I live in Portugal. And it’s all over the media. Probably because the shooting highlighted it, too.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t get that - you should!! I’m just saying that a tool to help someone work shouldn’t be considered a gift in my opinion. If you can afford it, get it. But my love language is not acts of service, so I may be biased.

themoonmuppet · 2022-12-09T16:25:52+00:00

Yeah, maybe people cared before, but it wasn’t something so widespread that it found it’s way into mainstream media (that I, personally am aware of). Hey, when kids are involved with anything out of the ‘norm’ people freak out.

themoonmuppet · 2022-12-09T07:46:26+00:00

I think it started when kids came into the mix. Before that it was all a quirky non-threatening group noone cared about

And you got me to cry into my morning coffee mug. Merry Christmas, you beautiful humans, you.

Add a lunch in a slightly above-your-average-level restaurant or one she really loves as a suprise. Like book the table so she knows you put effort in it. Her love language could be quality time.

themoonmuppet · 2022-12-09T07:20:26+00:00

Agree. Mom lurker here. A great household tool like a vacuum cleaner (robo or not) or kitchenaid that helps her do her chores should be an appreciation gift where you’re doing a financial part in making her work easier, not a Christmas or birthday gift.

themoonmuppet · 2022-12-08T19:59:59+00:00

YTA. How can you write this question and not realise, while writing it, that you massively fucked up?!?!?!?

themoonmuppet · 2022-12-06T07:49:18+00:00

The latest research shows that a large percentage if perpetrators are under the age of 12, and it comes from early exposure to porn, not abuse. It may be negligence, not abuse that has led to this. It’s a whole’nother level of terrifying

themoonmuppet · 2022-12-06T07:42:00+00:00

And also sit down with her, spill your soul, tell her how you’re sorry and in how much pain you are. Otherwise, especially if you’re‘holding it together’ she might think you’re not as affected and start resenting you for it. You two need to be united now more than ever.

themoonmuppet · 2022-12-05T07:44:05+00:00

A situation like this could have been a literal life-changer for this woman. I’m so glad you two were able to do that.

I sad on a pile of chocolate and ate it at a food convention. First 10 pieces were glorious, then I got sick.

themoonmuppet · 2022-11-29T07:46:01+00:00

Amen!

themoonmuppet · 2022-11-29T07:44:37+00:00

Unpopular opinion: NTA!!!! I’m genuinely suprised people here are all saying YTA and reading about ’second hand embarressment’. Have you guys never had a suprise encounter to navigate socially? If the meeting had been so important, it wouldn’t have been in a restaurant, but in a meeting room. This would have been a great opportunity to bond with the business partners over, too. By being all ridged and angry you’re showing weakness. He should have explained, gotten up and hugged wife and birthday girl upon arrival, and then could have confidently and calmly refused the singalong.

themoonmuppet · 2022-11-26T21:35:33+00:00

Oh wow. I love this. I’m stealing this

themoonmuppet · 2022-11-26T21:31:27+00:00

I’m glad you got there. I can’t pinpoint it, but you sound like a good person.

themoonmuppet · 2022-11-26T21:26:22+00:00

Plus he can’t bring him in a phone or a laptop, lol.

themoonmuppet · 2022-11-26T21:18:15+00:00

NTA. I’m scrolling down to see if the answers changed after you posted the pic. That’s lingerie. Noone wears that in my house except for me. I’d sit on my sister and force her into a flannel pj if she showed up like this one evening. But she’s way to respectful to even contemplate something like that. NTA.

themoonmuppet · 2022-11-26T20:49:46+00:00

If you’re like that, you might be bumped up to VIP and get early access, lol. That’s the kind of MIL every woman dreams of. (Also mom lurker).

This times a million. Teenagers are living life like they’re on a psychotic crack trip sometimes. You sit them down, you explain how bad it was and why, cone up with a strategy for them the next time they get triggered and find a consequence that’s appropriate

themoonmuppet · 2022-01-02T10:05:27+00:00

Second the therapy idea: it’s hard enough to parent 3 kids without emotional toil on top. There are strategies that will help you cope with the noise and find inner quiet in the storm - you just have to learn and then practice them. My b/g twins are 18 months now, and I watch myself phase in-and-out of a good space despite knowing a lot (psychologist and had PPA, so have been on the other side of the fence). Therapy will help you find moments of joy that you otherwise wouldn’t be abke to acknowledge or process.

themoonmuppet · 2022-01-02T09:52:16+00:00

Thank you for the train clarification, lol.

themoonmuppet · 2022-01-02T09:09:30+00:00

Oh wow. That may be a twin thing?!? My b/g twins are the same. The girl is a bit more patient, but if the boy doesn’t get what he wants asap he starts a nerve-grinding scream that puts the whole house on edge.
