Want to RAGE!!!

I am having trouble managing my triggers with my MIL with her stupid comments and her sense of entitlement. And now I want to go no contact with not just her but my entire husband’s family because they continue to enable and excuse her behavior. I’m so sick of it! It’s literally making me physiologically sick. And everyone wants to act like nothing happened and I am the one that is overreacting, I am the one changing my husband. I can’t stand their mentality and it makes me feel like I am consuming poison whenever I am around her, and now whenever I am around them.
I am battling the thought and expectations of what it is to be a “supportive wife” and “easy going” and “blending into the family” but my peace has literally taken a serious blow. To say that I have had multiple nervous breakdowns since my child was born 1.5years ago.
I am thinking of going no contact for the remaining month, and only show up to a baptism (only because I am the godmother) But this would mean I am skipping two birthdays, and Father’s Day.
I guess I need encouragement to take the courage to stand up for my peace of mind.

You have to do what you feel is best for you and your baby. It’s hard to comment really as from this post no one can tell what she’s done if that makes sense.

Quickies! When?! How?! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Would you/ do you ever have a quickie while baby is awake but safely near by and occupied? Like for example they are in bouncer happily playing and you and hubby have quickie on couch? Discreetly obviously! Or do you only when baby is asleep?

We co sleep and contact nap, so when trying to put her down in bassinet asleep to get a quickie in she keeps waking up! But idk I feel is it weird if she’s in room but awake? Again safely and happily occupied, and not making it obvious.

Owlet Sock

Does anyone here use the Owlet sock? I got it, but my little one got really annoyed when we first tried putting it on her, and now at 15 days old, I haven’t really re-attempted to put it on her.

Stepdaughter sent over without underwear

She’s 9 . We went shopping for her and she asked me to check the size of the shorts she had on, I noticed she wasn’t wearing any underwear. As a bio mom to my own little girl, this is concerning to me. Am I thinking too much into it?

I’ve purchased for her underwear and training bras (which she wasn’t wearing either) she said her mom didn’t wash laundry so she didn’t have any.

How to get baby back to sleep?

She used to feed to sleep and I used to be able to just put the baby on my chest and she'd fall asleep. Now she will wake up from the bottle and will claw and fight as if she's doing tummy time. The tricky part is she must be upright after feeds because of her reflux so I can't really be moving her about. I can't keep doing this fight at 3am waiting for her to wear herself out to sleep. We've tried white noise rich she doesn't respond to. Swaddles stopped working after 2 months (she's 3 months now).

Any advice??

Collecting milk before giving birth is so strange

Unless you’re already leaking why try to force or rush the process!!! Some people are just so weird!!!!
