I can’t be the only one who thinks this is weird?!?

It irks the hell out of me when my husband doesn’t answer my calls because he’s on the phone with his sister. Or he’ll hang up with me because his sister is calling! Also, why is she calling 10 times a day???

Granted- I call my own sister 10 times a day but very rarely I’ll ever call my own brother.

…but that’s not the weirdest part. He has his sister saved as “my princess” on his phone! I’d get it if it’s his litter sister who’s 10 or something. But his sister is pushing forty!

😳 maybe I just don’t have siblings that give a shit about my existence but, no, I find that weird too.
Mostly the my princess part, not really the amount of calls. But would definitely be upset if we’re having a conversation and it’s BYE MY SISTERS CALLING, like unless it’s an emergency

Yeah that’s weird and if I were in your shoes I’d message the number or call it just to make sure it’s actually his sister but that’s cause I don’t trust nicknames unless it for the same gender like I have a brother and a sister and I barely talk to because they could careless about me

I find this very strange...
Have you checked that the number is actually his sister ? Calling your sister who is 40 "my princess" does not seem right. I can't imagine many men doing that.
I would be so annoyed if my partner was to hang up on me for his sister unless it was an emergency.

Yeah that’s very stiff sure. I would investigate but be careful.

Can you try and listen in on his phone call with her to be sure it’s his sister…

Maybe this is just me, but I wouldn’t expect my partner to hang up on a family member (sister / brother … or any family member to be honest) just because I’ve called him. I would expect maybe a call back once he’d finished speaking to his sister, but I don’t really get why he would be expected to hang up on family just because his partner has called?? Especially if it’s not an emergency you’re calling about? The saved name as “princess” I can understand being weird, and I’d be annoyed that he hangs up on me just because his sister has called, but I personally - as a general rule / thought process - wouldn’t expect my partner to hang up on his sister just because I’ve called instead … and if I were him, I wouldn’t expect you to hang up on your family when he calls you to be fair. If that’s what you want to do, great - but I wouldn’t expect the same back “just because”.

Am I wrong

I was feeding our 3 week old baby and asked my partner to take the pizza out the oven, he was just sitting on the couch. He refused to and said I should, I eventually did go get it out otherwise it would have burnt. Now I’m pissed off with him. He says I did nothing all day so I should have just done it. His idea of nothing is looking after a 3 week old and 2 year old all day.

So my son is at pre school which is free Monday to Friday 9-3 term time only

I work 3 days a week. My son goes for 3 days a week and he absolutely loves it. Would I be a bad mum for putting him in 4/5 days so I could clean the house and work another day for more money? He starts school in a year so also thinking do I carry on spending 2 days in the week with him while I can before school?!

When I see a toddler in a pram with a bag of crisps I....

Smile, because I always have bags of crisps in my bag along with other snacks for my toddler too 🤣

Ok, I have a conundrum! CPS or no?

So my bestie has a cousin whom I know and this cousin has a partner (they are married) and 4 kids.

Kiddo's 1 & 2 live with a druggie, do drugs themselves and have issues. Kiddo 1 lived with my bestie for a time and struggled. He is autistic too. Kiddo 2 had been sent to live with his aunt for time due to behavioural issues and drugs.

Kiddo 1 & 2 lived together briefly (essentially kicked out as soon as they could be) in a unit owned by their parents.

They are roughly like 27 and 25 now.

Kiddo 3 is beautiful but also has some issues. He is a people pleaser and may struggle with certain adult respinsibilities but is over all well rounded, very smart and qyite self sufficient. He is studying and has a job and a gf. He is around 22.

He currently lives with my bestie in the unit his parents own.

Kiddo 4, lives with theie parents, is a round 11/12 and will not function when he becomes an adult. He happens to be autistic and may have FAS (knew the potential never got him assessed) but his parents have neglected him medically in regards to this, most of his life.

He is the golden child and his siblings know it.

He can do no wrong, never gets in trouble, never has to do anything he doesn't want to, always gets his own way. Spends a huge amount of his time playing games online with other people and cuasing and yelling while doing so.

As far as I know, no one ever spoke up about his behaviour or the parents neglect, about getting him diagnosed or any sort of help.

Basically he has been let down by everyone in his life.

So he apparently hates autistic people so they haven't told him he is autistic.

He was having severe issues at school and he has social issues so they have decided to home school him, but his Dad will work from home at the same time.

Kiddo's 1 and 2 barely see the family from my understanding and kiddo 3 doesn't like visiting much anymore due to kiddo 4's behaviour.

He isn't in therapy but apparently he is on medication for his behaviour but he is beong told it's for anxiety.

He is also overweight because he eats junk (I have an autistic kiddo and understand the struggle) but does no exercise. It was school and video games. Now it will just be video games.

I am hearing all this through my bestie and am so frustrated and heartbroken for this kid that noone has protected him. Including several mandatory reporters.

Do I report this if I can? I don't know kiddo's last name, know 1 parents but not the others, though I should br able to access that through social media. I don't even know exaxtly where they live. I know rough area.

Someone needs to stand up for this kid.

To add extra context; in the last few years they have lost both paternal grandparents and a paternal uncle and Dad was really, really sick in hospital for many months.

All 4 kids are adopted. 1 and 2 are siblings.

Both parents are AH's who use and abuse family and likely friends. Telling my bestie they where staying at the flat and bringing a cat despite her having a cat. Her cousin was angry she replaced the broken vaccuum. They expected her to parent kiddo 1 through being an adult out on his own because they couldn't be arsed.

Cousins has a sister who lives in a house he built and he holds it over her head.

Invited my besties parents for Christmas and didn't provide food or drinks and decided they where going to the sisters house (my besties cousin) and would cook there. It was apparently very weird and unwelcoming.

They are just pretty awful, self centred people.

I don't want to cause issues for my bestie or her other family though.

Anyway, CPS or no? Should I tell bestie of I do?

What are you guys doing for mother's Day?

I'm just gonna preface this by saying I like my MIL but only in small doses. So basically my FIL invited up over to their place and asked that my husband and him grill for us. I understand that this day is about all mother's but I really don't feel like spending my mother's day stuck talking to my mil. If my husband is grilling than I have no buffer and that means I'm taking care of our daughter the whole time. My husband turns into a kid at his parents place and basically after eating just naps on the couch leaving me to handle my 16 month old and his mom by myself. Not to mention he has never really cared about "celebrating his mom" he really just wants to grill with his dad. Which I get, they don't spend much time together but this day is supposed to celebrate me too. Not to mention I'm pregnant and am struggling to eat meat..... So am I selfish for wanting to say no to going over there?
