My partners auntie

This is a long one so grab your popcorn and get comfy.. it started back when I first found out I was pregnant me and my partner was so excited, I got booked in for my first scan to see how far along I was and it turned out I was actually 8 weeks and 5 days along so after that first appointment we went to my partners mums house to tell her the news as we were just so excited! when we got round to his mum’s house turned out his auntie and his cousin was there.. so we walked into the house and went into the kitchen to tell her, his auntie had told me to sit down next to her which I did we were talking but for the life of me I can’t remember how the conversation leaded up to her telling me ‘if you don’t let me see the baby I’ll have it taken off you’ (baby brain is horrid), when I first heard that I giggled cause I didn’t fully understood what she had said at first but then it hit me what she had actually said..

The second comment she ever made was on Boxing Day last year, again we was at his mum’s house as all of his family was there for a little buffet.. I think most of his family was in the living room. So me and ry was in the kitchen with his auntie while our daughter was with his mum and I was sat down next to my partner, I was starting to get a little hungry and the only thing on the table I actually fancied was bread sticks. I suffer with severe anxiety so I actually asked my partner to get up and grab me them so he did and his auntie comes out and says ‘I think you need to get tested for autism’ so I giggled cause again I didn’t fully understand what she had just said but when she said it his auntie and nanna had a little giggle to themselves (was it a running joke to say something like that) I didn’t fully understand but I left it saving arguments for my partners sake.

This last came she made to me was only on the 24th January THIS YEAR! my daughters birthday is on the 25th so we agreed to see both her nannas before hit birthday as it was her first birthday and we wanted it to just be us. So on the 24th January we was at his mums coming down the stairs and his auntie was walking out the door but before she walked out she turned round and asked my daughter for a cuddle obviously she turned round back to her dad which gave the hint to say no I don’t want to but she asked my daughter another two times for a cuddle but my daughter didn’t want to give her a cuddle so she looked to me and said ‘looks like she’s catching the tism’ it only took me maybe 30 seconds to grasp what she had actually said but when I realised I look to my partner and gave him the face to say wtf.. get our daughter away from her now so my partner says to her ‘leave her alone’ but it sounded like it was said in a jokey way and not a serious way..

I’ve made it very VERY clear to both his mum and him that his auntie will not be seeing our daughter again.. I have her numerous chances and she’s blown each other, am I wrong for this? needing advice!

You’re not wrong for that, the auntie sounds like an absolute psycho and a very toxic person that your baby does not need in her life!

What a rude and ignorant bitch!

No you’re not wrong. I can’t stand people who are so emboldened to go around diagnosing people of mental health conditions with no medical background whatsoever, usually done out of spite.

Does your partner have your back in all this? That’s the main issue you have now. If he doesn’t agree with you, his aunt will use him as a go between to piss you off and also have access to your child.

Puree pouches

Can someone enlighten me on why NHS advises against too many food pouches in one week? When they're organic and no added extras? It makes me feel really guilty/lazy for giving him them

How would you feel?

Ever since the weather has been nicer my daughter (3 1/2) has been spending much of the day outside playing with neighborhood kids which I love!
I’m a little more concerned about the parents, these kids are mostly a little bit older than my daughter and mostly range from about 5-8 (although one is only 2 🙃) but their parents are never in sight and have never talk to us while their children play in our backyard for hours a day (houses back up to one another). The kids have no outside toys to play with (not sure why) so I’ve told them all they’re more than welcome to play with ours when we’re home.
But would anyone else feel weird about kids playing in your yard daily and their parents never even acknowledging you? Or is this just an age thing since they’re mostly older kids (although one is only two🙃)

Jimmy Carr - fat, stupid kids

I'm fully in agreement with this. I think 'stupid' is a bit harsh but yeah, you gotta be a bit strict with your kids and be the one to hold the boundaries.

One of our family members has a son , who has since 3 yr old, been allowed to help himself to the snack cupboard where there is chocolate, crisps any junk food when he is 'hungry'. He drinks fizzy pop and juice.
There is no limit on screen time and he spends most days on his computer in his room.
He is probably 3 times his healthy weight, if not more.

It is really sad to see- he's statistically likely to be bullied for his weight and he can't keep up with kids his age.

They are both big too (but did not grow up that way) I just don't know why you'd want it for your kids.

And yes, you can think I'm being too judgy , but that's a kid's life and your parental choices have had a massive effect on his health and path in life.

Best friend of 15 years called me a desperate homewrecker. Thinking If I should let this friendship go or try to talk it out

My coworkers (male) birthday is coming up (Friday) and he has tickets to this comedy show and reservations to an extremely nice restaurant that he had made months in advance. He’s been talking about it for weeks and was so excited. He was originally going to go with his wife but she got into a car accident 2 weeks ago and had emergency surgery on her foot so she can’t go then today his best friend canceled on him( he was going to go with him instead). He was really down and depressed when he came into work today and he’s never like that so I asked what was going on and he told me how his friend canceled so I offered to go with him. He got so happy and went back to his usual high energy happy self. I called my friend to ask her to go to the mall with me after work so I can find a nice outfit she said that it’s wrong and disrespectful and that “you’re giving desperate homewrecker” then hung up. Me and him have worked together for 4 years and have formed a really close friendship (I’m his assistant). I’m a single mom and he has been nothing but great to me and my daughter. We go to lunch together, Iv met his wife, taken me to work then back home when my car was being serviced then paid the bill when he took me to pick it up, he has even gotten gifts for my daughter. He is really a good guy and is someone I really trust and have the most respect for him I would never jeopardize our friendship. Im so hurt by her comments and not sure how to bring this up to her or even if I should call her. It’s been a few hours and she hasn’t tried to text or call me so I’m thinking i should just block her and move on

Mum guilt

So just finished feeding my near 2 week old in bed, had my phone flash on so it’s not too bright so he can’t settle but bright enough for me to see. I sit him up to burp as he’s got reflux and he’s cluster feeding but I noticed my phone was close to shining in his eyes so stupidly, as he was sat up on my lap with my other hand supporting him, thinking I’ll quickly move it away, as I did that he flopped his head forward and as I went to catch him my thumb hit his nose and he started to cry and I feel so so terrible and my mind was racing like what if I broke his nose or something as he’s so delicate and I just kept saying I’m so sorry and kissing him and comforting him.

He’s ok and he only cried for a couple of seconds but I keep checking that he’s hurt as I just feel so guilty about it.

Crappy baby daddy

Just needed a vent really I left my baby daddy due to abuse towards myself and towards my son not so much my daughter (he used to just get angry with her when she was being a pterodactyl in the mornings)
But since I’ve moved on with someone who makes me happy and treats me right my baby daddy has refused to bring my children home to me and is controlling how and when I can speak to them this is only ever on FaceTime and I can only speak to my daughter when she’s having bath time and my son when he’s in the car and if he tried to tell me any personal information baby daddy always mutes the FaceTime and or tells him to “shut up” i just feel so alone with it all. Rant over
