Sister in law (sorry wasn't trying to make this long)

So my husbands sister in law rubs me the wrong way and I get really irritated by her. Let me explain. From the very beginning I have had an issue with how touchy she is with my toddler. When we first met she kissed my toddler all over his cheek and I'm just not a fan of people being like that with my son especially since we just met. Forward two years later, so now. Recently we were having a small family gathering and she stuck her finger in my son's nose to grab a booger out. He's 3 and a half and immediately ran to me and started crying. Am I wrong for feeling so irritated by this stuff? . I honeslty want to know other peoples opinion. Her and I have very different personalities, she's very forward and more of an extrovert, loud, is not afraid to say what she thinks. Im more to myself, reserved, introvert. Just recently I got diagnosed with Gestational diabetes and had not told her about it. Only people who knew were my mother in law and father in law and my husband. So while we were having dinner, she made a comment saying "dont forget to prick yourself" . It felt very sarcastic. I dont care about who told her but more so how she brought it up. Mind you when these little things happened that irritate me, I don't react or say anything because we all get together often and I don't want to have issues within the family. But I might make a face lol I can't hide my face . Like I'm pretty sure she knows those things bother me and she still does it... i want to know what other people think and if im over reacting, like she definitely has something towards me.

Oh she definitely does, you should ask her about it though for sure

If this stuff happened to me I'd too be feeling like she has something towards you, however, have you ever communicated any of the things that have bothered you with her? Or set clear boundaries with your child? If not it's hard to say whether or not this is intentional. The prick comment was kind of weird though.

I think you are in the right to feel that way towards her. That’s not right if family likes you they should respect you and not make sarcastic comments

Scared to leave baby with partner?

Is anyone else scared to leave their baby with their partner for long periods of time? My partner is so supportive and he is absolutely amazing with our little one however he is still very colicky and I know my husband doesn’t have the same level of patience as me and will loose his temper. He would never ever become aggressive towards the baby but his stress levels would rise to the max then I feel guilty. Sometimes I could deal with it all day then he gets like this after an hour of being with the baby when he finishes work so then I feel guilty needing that moment??

Help, baby foods

Hi! FTM, my son is 4 months old, I want to start him on SOME baby food before his dad starts getting him on his own so it’s not completely dependent on bottles because his dad doesn’t even know how to make a bottle… I was going to start him around 5 months to give him a month on some foods before his dad starts getting him for multiple days, any tips, advice or suggestions to ease the transition? He is allergic to dairy and have a very sensitive stomach (another reason why I wanted to start giving him some because I’m not sure that his dad wouldn’t just give him all kinds of things behind my back ands cause problems with his stomach…)

What gives a more positive first vibe (UK ish)

30 hours funded childcare for non working parents/a household with a non working parent

Or

45 hour funded childcare for working twin parents specifically for the 'extra twin' the first one would just get the standard 30 hours funded.

Just pondering based on the other poll.

My 2 year old doesn’t know how to play with other little children around the same age!!

My 2 year old is used to older children and plays happily with them however we’ve just come back from a little caravan holiday and whilst we were there she was playing on the park whilst another little girl was also playing rather than trying to interact she would come over to me and her dad and tell us the little girl wanted to play with her but wouldn’t actually play and would just stand there awkwardly and run away from the other child. How do I help this?

Am I the crazy one or is my husband just being a man??

So when I want to go shopping my idea is taking my time to enjoy being out and looking around, ya know, shopping. I don't want to be rushed because then I just get irritated not having fun anymore for an outting we set up to do with him hating life because I dont take only 10 minutes for the whole ordeal to hurry up to go home as fast as possible. To me, thats what women do, when we want to shop its to enjoy being out and taking our time not to be rushed around to buy and run. My mom and I like to go out shopping for our fun to hang out together (when she comes to visit from her state and when I was growing up) my thought was most women do this that its not weird. My husband admits he despises shopping because after 10 minutes at a store he's miserable hating being out and just want to go home and he hates standing around with me while I shop.....but also agreed to take me out in the first place...😒 today, we have some lady comimg at some point (after her nail appointment she says) to pick up some shirts my husband customized for her. She said she will text when on her way. We need to go to the grocery store and I wanted to stop at a thrift for a tiny bit of a "me" thing. He would rather we go to the thrift, drop off our donations and as soon as he lady says shes on our way drop what we're doing to rush home for that. To me, I find it kinda inconsiderate shes like "after my nail appointment ill say when im omw" instead of asking about a time to meet like we're supposed to wait around all day until shes ready just whenever. Husband is like "or ill just tell her when she texts we'll be back around x time because my pregnant wife wants to shop i guess" I said then id rather you just leave me and the kids at the store while you rush home to do that then come back for us rather than rushing me. We would be fine for an hour. 😒 idk if this is more of a vent or a question but im just irritated. I only get to do something for me on weekends for a short burst that's not grocery shopping. Not even every weekend just occasionally. I just don't want to be rushed especially because someone else is being inconsiderate about meeting time.

Asking to respect "no kissing boundary" without causing an argument

Ok so with my first baby I had a strict "no face kissing" rule this was for everyone including me and my partner.
My inlaws (mil/fil/sil/bil)basically all got really annoyed about this and caused a massive rift between us (daughter is now 4 and still we are not close because of it)
Im now worring already about baby 2 and again having to set this boundary with them.
My partner is absolutely rubbish at speaking up to his family so please dont suggest he has to do it!
I just need advice how to word it really!!!!
