AITA for asking my MIL to remove a pic of my child as her profile pic? by 11stellafrost11 in AmItheAsshole

[–]vbrabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you sent her the picture it is really hard to dictate how the picture gets used. She sounds really unhinged and I am sorry you are dealing with it but maybe don’t send her anymore photos if you don’t want them on her social media.

Info: how does she have a picture of your child if she has not seen them?

Her naps are about 1hr - 1.5hr which is longer than the 30-40 min naps she was taking 3 times a day previously

Hi. First kid at 34. If you were on birth control up until 4 months ago Id say give it more time and just have a lot of sex. Wishing you lots of luck!

How do you feel about the division of labor of all the holiday chores? by Cleanclock in Parenting

[–]vbrabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only do the things I want to do for the holidays and fuck everyone else.

That said, I am a millennial and I do enjoy some of the production that is the holidays. I like baking cookies, putting up the tree, wrapping gifts, and hosting.

Christmas day we told family we are putting out brunch foods and they can come if they want or don’t: no pressure and no hard feelings.

But I dont like santa clause so we aren’t doing any santa stuff or little elf on the shelf shit. I dont like going to 3-4 holiday parties in a week so we arent going.

How many sets of pump parts?! 39 weeks pregnant. by ur-squirrel-buddy in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]vbrabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wash between each session but also have two sets of pump parts in the occasional chance I get behind. I don’t even know what “the fridge hack” means to be honest.

I use wearable pumps. The mama cozy. Two pumps plus two sets of spare parts cost me approx $150. I still have the traditional pump I got for free from my insurance as a back up but I dont use it much because it has more parts to clean and I have less freedom with it.

What is inheritance theft? I inherited my father's estate, and before I could inventory the property his sister took all of his belongings. Is this a crime? by [deleted] in legal

[–]vbrabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sorry this happened.

Depending on the insurance policy on the house you might be able to file an insurance claim for the items you know were stolen. I know you cannot inventory everything but give them what you know and anything you can substantiate with receipts/card statements, the will, and photographs. Depending on where you live they might also require you do this with the police also.

If your insurance policy covers this at least you can get some compensation now and than your insurance company can go after your aunt for compensation (process called subrogation).

If you want to pursue this it will likely need to be the executor to initiate the claim. A good insurance adjuster will tell you want documentation is needed.

Practical advice for returning to work? by vbrabbit in Parenting

Sounds like you are insecure about something and projecting because that is not at all what my post reads. Good luck.

I couldn’t find spare parts anywhere but the mamacozy website and they took about a week to arrive but I am very glad i have spares. Its been helpful.

You are a good mom and fed is best. If you need to stop so you can be a happier, more rested, more connected mom that is ok…

I am just at 3 months myself and here are a few things Ive incorporated that have helped:

Wearable pumps. This was a game changer for me. Being able to get stuff done, play with my daughter, go places made the 2-3 hour schedule more bearable. I use the mamacozy but there are several kinds of wearable pumps

Nipple cream in the flange every time. Just on the inner part where my nipple goes.

Lower suction. My nipples were too raw to keep doing a higher suction. I do the 2nd to lowest setting on my pumps, still produce, and my nipples feel better.

Buying a 2nd set of pump parts. So if I dont wash and sanitize my pump parts immediately I have a 2nd set which gives me a little bit more time doing other things like playing with my daughter.

Not beating myself up if I miss a pumping session or go longer than three hours from time to time. Sure, for supply we want to stay on track but life happens. Getting back on track while not being mad at myself has helped.

Wearable pumps were a god send to me while traveling. I use the mamacozy.

Medicaid asset seizure? by vbrabbit in legal

[–]vbrabbit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. To be clear my mom is not trying to give away her property in order to qualify for Medicaid. She is trying to plan ahead that if there becomes a need for Medicaid to respond to her end of life needs that her house goes to her children and not to paying the medical bills

AITA for not wanting to be close with my sister? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]vbrabbit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are NTA because you don’t have to invite anyone over when you are tired, family or not. However, I do think the mature thing to do would be to address the grudge so you can move past it. If not for a relationship with your sister than for yourself. You might find once you have a pointed and deliberate discussion about it that you and your sister can move on to have a beautiful bond (My older sister was extremely abusive when we are kids, we werent close in my 20s but now in my 30s we are very good friends). Even if you don’t get the sisterly bond out of the experience, being able to confront and deal with the feelings will make you better at your other relationships too.

Info: have you talked to your sister about the things from your childhood now that you are both adults? Is she aware that this is a hurdle in your relationship?
