Would you be mad 🤬

My boy is 1 next week and I was wanting to take him for his first hair cut this weekend with his dad.
Mil looked after him yesterday while we were at work and she has cut his hair herself!!!
I was not asked if this would be ok, nor was I told it had been done afterwards.
I think she thought I wouldn’t notice.
There are a lot of trust issues with her not telling me what he eats / drinks while he’s in her care and it just feels like she’s constantly trying to spite me!

I think his mum and dad should have been there for his first ever hair cut and she has taken that from us.

My child would never be left alone with her again. the little things build until one day she could do something serious and that’s not a risk I would take

Completely out of order. I would be furious. I agree with Jacqui, I wouldn't be leaving my kid with her again.

If anybody cuts my son’s hair without HIS explicit permission & my knowledge of it occurring, I would commit war crimes.

What the actual fuck??

Guys thank you so much for agreeing it is unacceptable! It’s hard because it’s my partners mum and he always takes her side but this morning he’s been like “she would never do that without our permission” but yet she has and just hoped I wouldn’t notice!! Like I don’t take 200+ photos of him DAILY!!!!

You’re honestly not mad enough

I’d be so upset and honestly that would be the last time I spoke to her if it happened! It might just be hair now but what’s next?

Avatar

Oh no! I would be fuming as well. Hope you confronted her about this and how much it has upset you. Cutting baby’s hair for the first time is really sentimental x

i wouldn’t leave him alone with her she did something without your consent, she will probably do the same with your son! you have every right to be mad and confront her, i’m so sorry she do this to you x

I’d be so mad!! That’s something exciting you was planning, firstbhaircute. How dare she!!! Xx

That’s it. She would not be looking after him until she rebuilds the trusts and stops overstepping boundaries.

If my partners mam took either of our children for their first haircut or done any of their firsts with them I would not be speaking with her until she apologised and proved she’d never do it again.

But yes you aren’t mad enough in my opinion x

Oh I’d be fuming

I would be absolutely fuming and she wouldn't be looking after him again

You are entitled to your feelings and if you’re mad, then you’re mad. You have every right to be.

But clearly I have an unpopular opinion lol. I personally wouldn’t be. I’d be annoyed but not mad. There’s so much else going on in the world, a hair cut is really so small in the grand scheme. And you probably won’t think much of it in a few months. You will make so many more memories and be there for so many more haircuts. I think life is all about perspective and sometimes we cause ourselves more pain, suffering, stress, etc, than is needed.

I’d for sure say something to her but I’d drop it after that. Nothing you can really do but move on.

Sorry that happened. That’s shitty.

Avatar

Its the fact that she lied about it says that she knew that she wasn't supposed to but she did it anyway.

Avatar

I’d be absolutely livid!!

Avatar

I’d be more upset because I’m sure she knows what she did, and would’ve been upset had her MIL taken that from her when your partner had his first hair cut. They always try to brush it off until I point out that they would’ve hated that to happen and react accordingly.
If she sticks to it being okay, well, at least your partner has now witnessed her blatantly disregarding getting permission as his parents

So selfish of her

Partner not come home on our anniversary what should I do ?

It was mine and my partners 3 year anniversary yesterday and he’s not returned home after work , he was only meant to be doing two small jobs I last spoke to him at 2pm and he said he’d be back soon . I missed his call at 7pm
And I’ve heard nothing since and his phone is off .

I’m currently awake as I can’t sleep with worry , I’m wondering if I should contact the friend he was working with on social media ( I’ve only met him briefly a few times ) or would this look weird and crazy ?

I don’t know where his last job was so un sure if I should call hospitals or police stations ?

He has never done his before and especially to not come home on our anniversary?

Anyone else experienced this?

Me and my partner got together when my son was 4 and he’s now 9, my son in my eyes is a typical average boy, won’t speak to us when he’s tired, coming across moody and is always slightly off when he comes back from his dad. But he’s like it with both me and my partner, however my partner gets shitty over it but with me, like today my son came back from his dad before school and wasn’t very talkative or said bye when my partner went to work and when he walked out the door he scarcely said “bye, have a good day” and said he doesn’t know why he wastes his breath.
I’m close to breaking point, either to cry or scream. I don’t take offence to how my son is, he’s always been off coming back from his dad and he’s been going over every Tuesday since 9 month old so I guess I’m use to it, I just don’t know what to do

Dirt

Do you let your toddler/ kids play in dirt? Like at the park or in your yard? I took my kids to the park like I do every day 😥 and my 3 year old wanted to dig in the dirt. He found a tree with a bunch of sticks underneath and went at it. I let him. He got very dirty. But he was so happy!

Day out in the heatwave

Today’s my mums birthday we kinda said it would be nice to go to one of the national trust properties near our home. It’s got a play area and loads places to sit with a picnic blanket. But it’s still very very hot. Do you think it’s silly to take my almost two year old out for the day??? Obviously we’d have lots of sun screen, water pack up lunch and the pram for naps. But I’m still wondering if I’m bonkers to do it.

My mannnn

I’m sorry yall but I just love my man so much. I feel like no one ever posts about how good their man is. Obviously I’m very fortunate to have a great guy in my life as that isn’t the case for everyone but,, I know not everyone’s man is all bad. I just think he is so perfect. I have a daughter of my own and I’m due with our son in 4 weeks and I’m just so excited for him. He’s so amazing with his baby cousins and he is just looking forward to being a boy dad. He’s already an amazing father. He’s always going out of his way to take care of me whether it’s helping me out the bath, shaving my legs for me since it is a lot to bend down, cooking when he can tell I’m not feeling the best, running to the gas station even at 2-3am when we don’t have something I’m craving, etc. I just feel so fortunate and I wish more moms would post positive appreciation for their man. I mean he’s a hard worker and yet he is insisting on doing nights when the baby is here so that I can get my sleep. I don’t think we ever fight about anything and if we do “fight” it just becomes a joke cause we realize we have nothing to ever disagree over. Ugh he’s just so cute and loving and amazing and I can’t say enough about him. That’s all. I just wanted to talk about him cause he is sleeping like a lil baby next to me wanting his bag rubbed with my nails and I can’t aggressively squeeze his cheeks (any of them). I got most of it now 🥰❤️
