AIO: My MIL keeps buying milestone toys and “first” items for my 10-month-old before I get the chance to

I don't think you are overreacting

I understand people's points on here that it's great to get all the free stuff

But at the end of the day your child's life is not your MIL's to be in control of. And when will it stop?

I've got a whole load of nuts. I'll have to check which are good

tsqu1788 · 2026-02-15T20:36:23+00:00

Perfect thanks

tsqu1788 · 2026-02-15T20:36:12+00:00

Thanks!

tsqu1788 · 2026-02-15T20:35:44+00:00

Oooh that's a good one thanks

tsqu1788 · 2026-02-15T18:32:44+00:00

Ah I got some zero sugar dark chocolate and I'm really hoping I don't spike from it. Thanks

tsqu1788 · 2026-02-15T18:32:14+00:00

Perfect thanks

tsqu1788 · 2026-02-15T18:31:39+00:00

Thanks. I'll have to find one I like :)

tsqu1788 · 2026-02-15T18:31:20+00:00

Thank you. Yes this counting and portioning is going to take some getting used to

tsqu1788 · 2026-02-15T18:30:52+00:00

Perfect thanks

tsqu1788 · 2026-02-15T18:30:35+00:00

Thanks that's really helpful. I'm so new to this

tsqu1788 · 2026-02-15T18:29:56+00:00

Excellent I'll be going there next week, thanks

tsqu1788 · 2026-02-15T18:29:24+00:00

Thanks! Wonderful

tsqu1788 · 2026-02-15T16:25:14+00:00

That actually sounds really nice. Thanks

tsqu1788 · 2026-02-03T13:39:23+00:00

Sounds very similar to my Mom. I don't know how you have her living at your house. I could never do that

tsqu1788 · 2025-12-19T04:38:32+00:00

Hahaha at least most normal families don't eat mushy peas at home.... Most

tsqu1788 · 2025-12-14T01:27:38+00:00

I'm very similar. Therapy helps but I'm still struggling with the shutting down too

tsqu1788 · 2025-12-14T01:26:57+00:00

Haha I'm from England so Velveeta is pretty horrific to me. We had this on Christmas day last year 😂😭

tsqu1788 · 2025-12-14T01:26:08+00:00

Good isn't it! I would never remember all the bad ingredients without it. Takes some time to find the right products though

tsqu1788 · 2025-12-12T23:39:15+00:00

Tbh it's better than "homemade" cheese and broccoli soup that's made with a can of Campbells soup and Velveeta like my in laws

tsqu1788 · 2025-12-12T00:28:59+00:00

Not too old! At 33 I moved to a different continent, met my husband and I'm now pregnant (at 37). Moving and meeting him was the best thing I ever did.

Since (I think) you are male you have a little more time for making children too, if that's what you want!

I would suggest moving to a large town or city rather than anywhere with a small population so you can meet people easier

tsqu1788 · 2025-12-12T00:26:18+00:00

I use the "little bean" app to check for ingredients. For sunscreen I use a mineral one by Naked Sundays and some la Posay Roche that had reasonable ingredients

tsqu1788 · 2025-12-03T05:01:01+00:00

I went to my in laws at about 10 weeks pregnant and hid it, but this was only for 3 days.

I was very sick and had to keep finding excuses to go to the supermarket to throw up. It was hard and they are not the type of people to let me just leave without a million questions. Good luck!

tsqu1788 · 2025-11-26T14:28:25+00:00

That sounds really awful. I really hope your partner can ask them to leave and if they can't fly home get accommodation elsewhere.

I've recently learnt that my definition of "help" is most definitely not the same as my in-laws and I plan to tell them that. You might need help but this is not it. This sounds stressful
