WIBTAH if I start doing the same thing back to him?

My FIL keeps constantly filming me every single say. He isnt even sneaky about it anymore. He knows I dont like and still does it anyways. He doesnt care. The only time he doesnt is when he sees me filming other stuff for youtube cause he knows that I have an increased chance of catching him with proof if I record him recording me. He also aks me awkward questions about my phone even though he is the one recording me.

Definitely would not be the AH.
Speak to your husband IMMEDIATELY about this if you haven't! Why is he filming you in the first place? This is beyond weird and boundry crossing!! I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this.

If you can, there's some cheap, but functional indoor security cameras on Amazon. They're small enough to be hidden/kept out of sight. They can even be mounted on the wall. You might be able to catch him this way.
It's not ideal, but I'd make it appear that I was recording whenever he was around. Even if it was just me with my phone "taking selfies' or "hey guys so today.."
Truly hope this gets resolved for you.

Tell him off the second he films you.
Have your partner stand up for you.
This shit is mental

He is not a good person to have in your life.
He's the nutcase himself.

The things he's doing to you can cause you to get unwell mentally. Or PTSD. But I know you will never let that happen.

I so hope you are able to move away soon.ā¤ļø

MTFOOTH…. Tell your partner you got to move.. that’s creepy

I would try to move out ASAP

This is creepy AF and also illegal. Filming someone in a private space without their consent is a legal issue and the higher the expectation of privacy is in a given space (e.g. a home) the more illegal it is. He has no leg to stand on at all.

Maybe is better to just leave this feeling ā€œI want to catch himā€ just go you will be fine
GO!

Theres a very high chance he is filming you in private too e.g. shower. Move out asap and get your husband to cuss him out.

Time to move

He sounds extremely perverted! And I don't know what state you're in, but in most states, if a person is recording someone else and the person being recorded says, "I do not consent to this." the person doing the recording can get into legal trouble. Personally what I'd do next time he is blatantly recording you is firstly say "I did not consent to this." then pull out your phone and record him back, but of course you have to make sure it's heard that you're asking for his consent to be recorded. Why on earth has your partner not confronted him about this!?

Avatar

Yeah, like everyone else is saying, move if possible! Also, I repeat, please fill your husband in on what's going on. Someone else said that he may have cameras that you're not aware of (like the shower!), and this really tripped me out. It's definitely time to move.

Can the police do anything? You know for harassment or something They would have evidence on his phone when police take it.

Honestly. Run from this place and if your husband thinks it's normal leave him behind. You can't be safe with insane people. That's wild

Avatar

i assume only three people live in your house. bring it up when you all three are together. like casually ask him why he does that and put him on spot.

Avatar

If you live in the same house leave, I know that's not always easy but if you can i highly recommend you do and go no contact. I would also look into the legality of it, if it's illegal I'd be making an official police report. I'd also not be allowing my child around him. If you haven't mentioned this to your husband yet Do So.

Avatar

I didn't stop to consider that you were outside of the States, my apologies there. I'd look up the laws in your country, even more specifically, your hometown or "state", and see what the laws are governing being recorded without your permission. Have you filled your husband in on what's going on?

Boy mums šŸ©µšŸ’™ I need some advice before I start panicking

My very almost 2 year old has started acting quite emotional when his bum is being changed. He used to hate getting his nappy changed anyway, however he’s been really good the last 2 months at getting his own nappy, laying down etc but then when it comes to actually wiping his bum/privates…he gets REALLY upset and cries/forces his legs shut so I can’t clean up properly. I’ve had a look as best as he’d let me and there’s no redness or any cuts etc.

Is this normal? I have to hold both his legs open and basically fight him to get to the areas I need to get to. I try not to make it harder than it is for him so I am careful and try my best to comfort him while it’s happening. But what the heck is this all about? I was worried someone had hurt him but he’s never not with me so it’s impossible. I just don’t know where it’s coming from and why it’s so upsetting for him. Apart from this he is a great child who barely ever cries (unless he doesn’t get his way lol) but he can have a fall/cut and will be smiling and laughing.

When he’s in the bath and I wash his area (with water & not hard at all just a little wipe, nothing that will hurt) he also doesn’t seem comfortable with that either and tries to run away, he doesn’t get as upset it’s more of a game to him and sometimes laughs. It’s all very confusing. My partner says it’s a sensitive area anyway and while he’s young it might just be extra sensitive to touch. Any boys mums who can help? 🄲

Why is childcare so expensive !

šŸ˜… i feel like i dont see any 16 year old girls anymore trying to make little extra cash or just moms helping other moms out.
Just me who'd be happy to help a mom out just so she can have her 3 hours to go peacefully grocery shopping or have a break. Its tough to be a mommy. And at the same recover after birth and needing that sleep.
Just me who has to choose between a shower, eating, sleeping or having a quick clean? What's your experience like ? 🄰

How many times a day are you trying solids? My pediatrician said to do 3 times a day. I thought at 6m once a day was more than enough??

Nursery little niggly things

I'm really annoyed with nursery. They have lost our apron and kept brushing us off for 2 weeks and saying we have to speak to someone else. Or they simply say they don't know they weren't there to most things I ask. My little one has also started to really cry at drop off at beginning of week. This has been ongoing 3 weeks. Her key worker has changed to someone who is not in the same days she is, so 2/3 days. They also lost one of our bottles last week. About 3 weeks ago my little one has tights on. I hadn't realised the elastic had gone on them so they kept falling down. We went for a walk after pick up and every 30 seconds I saw she was struggling to move around and the tights were bothering her. When I went to pull them up there was no nappy or knickers on her! Her little bum was out. I was so mad at them. When I asked them about it they said they don't know. But I'm disappointed as they took off her nappy in morning and didn't put her pants on. So she must have gone the whole day that way and nobody noticed?! Then last week as we were leaving I saw her cardigan lying on the side and when I picked it up it had paint all over it. They don't use water based paint and it never comes out! When I showed the room leader he said he doesn't understand as my little one didn't paint today. As if that's an explanation. My little one later told me she did it. So they have left the paint out and let kids go to it unattended then.
I'm just really really frustrated about it all.
Are these all small things?
Is everyone having these problems and it's just how it is?

Christmas gift help šŸ™ˆ

Hi mamas! Please can you tell me what your 10 month olds are playing with at the moment? My son will be going 10 months at Christmas and it's hard for me to imagine what kind of toys he'll be ready for, even though I've been here before šŸ˜‚ Tysm 🫶
