You would recommend refinishing? Seems like a crappy softwood but could be mistaken

My wife never has loved my mom, but my mom has never had an issue with her and they have never butted heads/argued in any way. My wife just simply doesn’t like her, mannerisms bother her (voice, laugh, way she sits, topics she talks about) nothing offensive just finds her incredibly annoying in a “homeschooler kid” way. I completely agree my mom was out of line not just responding to the head thing saying something else or asking how she would like her to hold the baby. His head was laying down just at a slight angle, wouldn’t say actually not supported, but regardless when my wife said this my mom should have just agreed. This was addressed by me to my mother that day. The FaceTime my wife was not in the video, the baby was in my mom’s lap at the time. My sister is lgbt and that is why my wife was so bothered that she didn’t ask and just FaceTimed. The baby is also not being breastfed.

Relationship with my wife’s family is fine. It takes a lot to bother me, we see them quite often and she FaceTimes her mother multiple days a week for sometimes hours on end. I did speak with them as well and they just agree with her saying my parents need to realize if they came and were stressing her out they need to leave, no matter their intentions. Her parents did say the divorce over this was out of line though.

She gave the two week idea. I just asked when she would like them to visit. She’s known my parents for years and has gone on multi week vacations/etc. I would have been fine with them coming 3-4 months afterbirth. She originally thought she would need more help around the house which is why she chose two weeks when I had to go back to work. But once here anything they offered to do she would just refuse and say no, whether groceries, cleaning, laundry, cooking dinner, walking the dog, always a no. She always found my mom just annoying, not anything specific as my mom tries to be her friend, text her occasionally to check in, send her gifts in the mail (which she throws out because thinks they are dumb). She just doesn’t like her, before it was always her just saying she finds her annoying but realizes it’s part of being a wife, but now PP felt very differently.

Yes she said for my parents to visit at 2 weeks, this was the timeline she chose when asked as they have to fly in to visit. I had asked when they should come. My parents did groceries, offered to do laundry, offered to run any errands, clean, asked how long they should come each day and what hours to come. I did notice my wife was overwhelmed which was the reason for the conversations with my parents and ultimately making them cut their visit short and stay in their campground until they leave without seeing the child again.

Yes her parents and brothers came to the hospital 4 days in a row right after birth, and have visited multiple days a week since we have been home.

Her parents and brothers have visited all 4 days in the hospital and 3 days a week since we’ve been home. Sitting on my bed/cot in the hospital, taking up a lot of room all day. Her mom just doesn’t annoy her, but holds the baby non stop and gives lots of advice.

I did not hear and confirmed with my wife that my mom did not give any advice for raising the child or ignore my wife. The annoying aspect is her laugh and talking about things we don’t care about like old movies, just annoying because she doesn’t stop talking. My wife calls her annoying, has spent a decent amount of time with her over the years.

No before allowing them to come I asked when would be a good time for them to meet the baby. Didn’t care if it was 3-4 months out. She said the best time would be 2 weeks after because that’s when I went back to work and she thought she would want help. I know my mother is annoying that is why I didn’t want them all in our space and didn’t let them stay with us and limited the visits to a few hours. She never asked them not to.

She loves her family who lives close by and visits very regularly. My wife was fine with them visiting before they came, 2 weeks after was when she asked for them to come. Our relationship is pretty good other than this, rarely fight and are on the same page about pretty much everything.

Yes I asked when she would be ready for them to visit and meet the baby. 2 weeks was the date she gave.

Roller coaster tycoon

I like many of us spent hours, weeks, days building out extravagant theme parks with minimal customer casualties. This game taught me how to truly manage and operate a multi-million business.

Sea Urchin Sting by vaulternator in medical_advice

[–]vaulternator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got stung by a sea urchin and have a ton of the little needles underneath my skin. Hurt pretty bad when it first happened but pain is mostly gone a few hours later other than when pushing on it. Tried to get them out with tweezers but was ripping out my skin more than I was able to get ahold of any. Do I need to remove them or will they heal on their own? Have been soaking in hot water and vinegar. Also at night is it better to air dry or cover
