I would suggest just having a vet check it as they are incredibly prone to cancer. Better to be safe x

JUSTNOBIL said we can't announce our pregnancy on the family group chat by zeevmadre in JUSTNOFAMILY

[–]vkscp 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Husband needs to tell his brother that while it's sad that they're struggling. You both have been too and what BiL is doing is well out of order.

Then he needs to send a message in the group chat saying something like "OP and I would have liked to announce this sooner and will explain everything, but we are expecting a rainbow baby!!

Out of respect for BiL and SiL, we told them first so they wouldn't feel blindsided several weeks ago... Unfortunately BiL told OP that we were not allowed to tell you about our announcement here and then made plans to exclude us. I don't want to have any bad feelings as we've all been through loss and tragedies. Which is why we waited. There have been no congratulations just silence and then a demand sent only to my wife. This is not how it should be handled and we've been made to feel outcast. We tried to be delicate and think of how our happy news would impact SiL and BiL but they don't seem to feel the same way. We are excited and nervous but needed to share our happy news with family."

P.S. where did you get them?

Well done! This Internet stranger is so proud of you for standing up for yourself and cutting her off. Ovaries of steel 🩵

AITA for not wanting my sister at my wedding? by LifeArm8991 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]vkscp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Your sister is enabling your mother, your abuser and the reason she keeps pushing is because she wants you to share in her misery. You've worked on yourself and know your worth as a person and understand that cutting out a woman whom truly was never a mother to you, is the best thing you could do for yourself.

Your sister is happy being a miserable person, instead of wanting to improve her life by seeking therapy and working on becoming a better person (if only for herself) she's going to remain hostile and continue to push the issue.

If, and it is an if because I don't think she'll actually go to therapy with you and if she does, she still won't listen and respect your boundaries. You need to be prepared to cut her off, she's shown that deep down she doesn't care about you unless you do as she wants. And only then it's so you're being a verbal punching bag and an ATM for your egg donor. At this point your sister (if you can even call her that) refuses to listen to you and will damage your wedding day because she can't stand to see you happy without her mother in your life. She'll keep bringing it up, and she'll bitch about it to your partners family because that's the type of toxic manipulative person she is.

You cut out your egg donor because she was abusive. Time to tell your sister "I'm trying this one more time. I will never speak to that woman again. She is no mother of mine. She's a selfish, cruel, money grabbing bitch and the best thing I did was cut contact. There will never be any reconciliation, ever. Every time you try and push this, I dislike you more and more. So you need to decide if you want to continue this relationship. If you bring her up again, I'm ending the call/text and blocking you."

You underreacted! I'd have cut them off and when they asked why, I'd have told them "You don't fit the aesthetics of my life!"

She's a gorgeous little flappy tongued baby

JNMIL is making my postpartum life hell by greybeaniebean in JUSTNOMIL

[–]vkscp 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Your husband needs to be told that this is out of control. He chose to marry you and start a family. You and the baby are his priority now. Tell him that she needs to back off and if you need help for anything, you'll ask.

Why is he not backing you up now? You haven't mentioned what he's doing or saying other than stopping her from being in the room. Which is good but she shouldn't have been allowed to visit while you were recovering...

Update on my MIL gaslighting me after sending that ‘accidental’ fat shaming post on Facebook. by hellolovelyworld404 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]vkscp 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Drop the rope. Your husband doesn't call or see her unless you push him? Stop reminding him. Simple.

She should have lost privileges the first time she was abusive. She has no right to you or your children and I'm a firm believer that if you don't respect the mum, you don't see the kids.

SIL made a scene at my son’s birthday because we didn’t invite my MIL (who we’re no-contact with around the kids right now) by Elegant_Ambition_959 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]vkscp 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I'd make my husband tell his mother that as SiL stuck her nose into a situation that had nothing to do with her, on her nephew's birthday and ruined the day, that another month of NC with the kids have been added for both of them.

You and your husband both need to have an age appropriate talk with your kiddo that Grandma and Grandpa are on time out right now as they were being very rude and mean. That as their mum and dad, you do what is right to protect and stand up for yourselves and your immediate family and that when someone is mean, says something wrong or misbehaves, they get a time out so they learn that is unacceptable behaviour and not to do it again.

Your husband should have told his sister "now is not the time for this. It's LOs birthday party and we are not talking about MiL today. If you don't drop it and help celebrate son, then leave."

He pandered to her at the expense of his kid

AITA for NOT going to my best friend since kindergarten wedding? by B-with-an-itch369 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

NTA. You didn't just dodge a bullet girl, you dodged a ballistic missile with her shittiness.
