My mil is a raging c**t

****TW BABY LOSS***
**swearing***

Hi all. my mil is so beyond vile. i need to rant ...
during my first pregnancy she divulged the sex of our son on Facebook. then asked if i was angry and didn't like my response. After the birth, baby started having complications and was transferred to SCBU. When we informed family he was being moved hospital all mil could put was "oh god no please no". We told her to fuck off with the drama, support us or fucking stay away. In the aftermath of our sons death, she convinced her entire family to come to her house (not the grieving parents house) she got her youngerst son to bring her grandkids over from abroad (my kid is dead she needs to see living grandkids)... He told us it wasn't a holiday and hes here for us. Every time we called him he was out doing tourist stuff with the kids!
Mil pushed a note through our door "don't push me out you're the only ones who know how i feel" ... just to clarify it was MY SON that passed. She discussed our finances/texts with anyone who would listen, she even had a family chat that didn't include us. She always said "do you remember you said this or that" I had to tell her I was grieving not retarded. My hubby stopped talking to her after she manipulated us into changing the date of his funeral then fucked off on holiday. Yep, while we were a month into grieving our beautiful little boy.
We decided no one was coming to his funeral, both families had somehow made a really shitty situation a thousand times worse and there was no way they were doing it at his funeral, he had a dignified goodbye with the people who mattered, Mummy and daddy.... On the morning of the funeral we both got ridiculous crying woe is me voicemails from that cunt she didn't think about our feelings that day, how we are about to cremate our boy. That was the final straw for me.
fast forward a few months back my hubby was in hospital. he hadn't spoken to this bitch for nearly 4 years. he called her asking her to come over while we went to hospital to look after our daughter. We were desperate and had no one else. she said she "wasn't allowed" but would "come tomorrow" ....she knew my hubby was going into hospital.. I said if i was her I'd be there after nearly 4 years no contact. that she was "fucking disgusting and to stay away". the abuse my hubby got while in hospital was outrageous.
Ever since our son died, that family have told me im controlling my hubby (haha) and owe them all an apology (haha). its easier to blame a grieving mother than look at your own behaviour and I'm not ok with that.
i now understand how he has been affected by these people and why his mental health is so bad. I've witnessed a snippet first hand. my mil flat out accused me of control while hubby was ill in hospital and i told her exactly what I thought. years of resentment and anger towards that cunt finally exploded. its still all my fault despite hunby telling her otherwise.
This is bare bones story theres so much more these people have done to us. we are obviously no contact at this point.
Never ever accept shitty behaviour from these pieces of shit. Stand your ground enforce the consequences of their actions or cut them the fuck off! You are more important than their drama and nastiness
NOTE: I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire

I'm really sorry you had to go through all of that while grieving such an immense loss. I have no words of advice or comfort but I hope you and your hubby have had the ability to heal. Sending hugs 🤗🤗

The amount of heartbreak and pain you and your partner have suffered is so overwhelmingly sad.

And then to have a ridiculous demon MIL who makes it worse during your time of need, adding to the pain while you grieve is just beyond words.

You both made the best decision going no contact and I wish you the best healing and loving journey together away from such a toxic person.

Girl, I’m sorry for your loss. You’re in my thoughts.
My mil made our sons death all about herself as well. This is why I’m little to no contact with her. She would constantly remind me that he’s dead, tell me she would cry when she would see a stroller as if she’s the one who lost a child😂. It’s been 2 years and every once in a while when I do see her it’s always a fight because I find out she talks about my dead son to people, then those people will bring it up to me, then throw me off guard.

I’m so sorry we both have horrible mil’s.
All we can do is learn from them and hope to never EVER be like them. God is watching over them. That’s all.

Thank you for your response ladies.... You just couldn't believe some people could be so cruel. I think they are all narcissistic...you have to be to act this way. I feel bad my LG has barely any family. I feel she will miss out on grandparents and aunties and uncles but in the next breath we haven't caused these issues and these people cannot be trusted.
same . She acted like her son died!! Since hubby has been NC she has said to me "I miss my son more than you'll ever know" the response I gave to that wasn't pretty. If I'd been Face to Face I'd have smashed her teeth in. These people need to stop breathing

Help!!!

Am I wrong if I secide to stop doing baths etc for my little ones. We have a 3 and 1 year old. I do all the baths wake up in ams cooking etc. I dont want them to be dirty but it's like I need a break and Im tired of doing it all by myself. He will come up and help after they are out the tub every now and then and that pisses me off. Im taking care of 2 littles one by myself makes no sense. I asked him to give them baths tonight he said I worked all day what did you do...ive had the children all day. We went to church he didn't go. We all know how little ones are.. but what should I do bcus it feels like I'm going crazy

Heartbreak

After years of trying, months of back and fourth on the fate of our marriage, indecision, fights. The whole enchilada my husband and I are separating, divorcing. Whatever. I'm so goddamn heart broken. I feel like it's a death and I'm in mourning. We have a 3 year old son and currently and for the foreseeable we are going to coparent and live together. This makes things harder because neither one of us can really move on but it's how it is. He understands and he's trying to heal too. But I can't understand why now that things are over he can be kind. He's been more amazing in the last week since I ended things than ever. Why couldn't he do that when we were together for years I begged for change, we saw a counselor I tried everything and he just wouldn't. Now he seems to turn a switch and be able to just do it all. But it's too late. My heart aches. My body aches. Love sucks.

Partner works incredibly long hours, how much do they help out?

I'm struggling. Have been for a while. I've had one break from parenting my daughter, that was for 3 hours in December when I left her with her dad.

She's 14 months old and I'm just tired. I've done every night by myself. He's out of bed at 4am and doesn't get home until 7-9pm. He drives for work, very physically tiring.
On the weekends he was doing 6 days, one weekend day off, but now has both off.

He doesn't sit on the floor and play with her, he doesn't read to her because he says she doesn't have the patience.
He will pick her up and hold her whilst he's cooking.

Recently I've been "snappy" with him.
He got back from the mechanic last weekend, she was getting onto the sofa and he put his headphones on and started to watch Netflix on his phone.
The same day I told him I was going to run her bath and to watch her whilst she was still eating, he fell asleep on the sofa.

Today he went to football after going shopping, so was out 1-3 and then from 4-8.
He got back and I was snappy.

"I don't get why you're so snappy with me"

I said - Probably because I haven't had a break since December.

"Do you think I don't know you haven't had a break. I haven't had a break", "I just won't go to work, I'll sit at home all day".

Then "do you think I like not having a connection to my child"... But that's on him? He never sits to play with her. He "doesn't see the point". He's stated that this age is boring to him.

Since she's been born, he has been to a friend's once a month. Football - He stopped going for 7months, but has been the last two weekends.

Are these not breaks?

He does do the washing/washing up/cooking/vacuuming when I haven't had a chance to; but I'm the one in charge of feeding her, naps/bedtime, teeth brushing, hair brushing, baths, dressing her, making sure she has the right shoes, appointments etc. Everything falls on me.

If your partner works ridiculously long hours, how much do they look after your child? Do you ever get a break?

Am I wrong ?

My daughter’s 1st birthday was Thursday and nobody wished her a happy birthday from her dads family but his mom watched his story. Should I put my foot down and set boundaries for them to accept accountability or should I just let them stay on that side for as long as they want and not worry about it?

Hi mummas! I need help with potty training?

My daughter is 4 years old, she will be turning 5 this November. I’ve tried everything I can think of, to help her and encourage her. I’ve tried bribing, I’ve tried sticker charts, I’ve tried buying her underwear of her choice— nothing. She’s suspected autistic. She will not try. She will sit on the potty at nursery for a few minutes and that’s it! At home, nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🎀✨
