I NEED TO SAY IT

why most of the MIL is bitch and don’t know their boundaries. She made my postpartum phase very difficult… I am fed up of her everyday drama and if i call out her behaviour she plays the victim card and start her emotional drama in front of her Son and make everything around so stressfull..

Mine literally just wore a white dress to my vow renewal, I also asked her if she wanted to be in pictures she told me no she had to take care of the food (she cooked) and the sent me several passive aggressive messages after saying how she was only in one picture and her family doesn’t believe she was really at the wedding

I finally cut mine off. I could handle it all until I had my daughter. I would bring stuff up to my husband and nothing would happen. I let it go on longer than it should have but I cut them off. And it was like a weight had be lifted.

I have never experienced this.

Both my ex husband’s mom and my current husband’s mum are delightful.

I’m sorry you are having issues maintaining boundaries with her. I hope your husband is supportive and doesn’t make things worse.

Mine is the same way, things are fine and she’s actually semi fun to be around as long as everyone caters to her and placates her and doesn’t return her petty energy whenever she chooses to dish it out but god forbid someone stands their ground or makes a boundary she’s becomes a nightmare

My baby girl is four months old and she just started doing something that's so dang cute!

When I can tell she's tired, I take her up to our room and lay her down in her bassinet. Then she rolls over to her side and I lay a soft blanky on her and she goes right to sleep!! Anyone else experiencing this?? She's already self-soothing.

Nearly crawling??

My 6m old has been doing this motion constantly for 3 weeks now. Ive heard it's similar to what babies do before crawling, is this true?😅

Would you want a sink in your nursery?

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and we're renovating our Victorian house. Baby's room is being completely stripped back and redone, and there's an existing sink in there — we can either remove it or replace it with a nice new one.

We're thinking it could be handy for things like nappy changes, rinsing muslins, or washing hands quickly without leaving the room — but as first-time parents we genuinely have no idea if we'd actually use it. The main bathroom is only across the landing.

If you had the option, would you want a sink in your nursery or not? Did you find yourself wishing you had one nearby?

Others mom passing comments

So I have two little ones that are two and three. Took them to a toddler class and my two year old decides to escape out the door with the other moms that were leaving. I see this as it's happening (I turned my back for a second to get my bag) and I shout for my two year to old to stop(obviously they don't listen) then I tell my three year old stay in here while I got get your sibling. The mom that my toddler walked out with makes some comment about "haha your kids trying to leave with another family" to which I replied yeah this one is a runner, my kid then decides to run away again so I run after my kid and as I'm walking away I hear this woman make a stupid, sly comment, "she doesn't need anymore kids." So unnecessary to make these comments- then as I walk back inside the teacher for the class says she normally stands by the door but was preoccupied (which is fine I get it) but the main point here is about the stupid comments of this lady. I wanted to tell her off about making unnecessary comments and keeping her high school bitchy behavior to herself or am I out of line here? I ultimately decided to just manage my kids and go home.
