Am I TA?

So my parents care for my niece 1 day a week, things are awkward for many reasons including the fact that my son has been told to be quiet while playing outside at a normal volume, because niece is sleeping.

Today, I was asked to pass on a messafe to my Mum and as soon as I opened my mouth I was told to be quiet as she was trying to sleep.

I have very little interest in being around now.

Would I be the AH if I avoided being around while my niece is visiting.

We live on my parents property and despite desperately wanting to move, can't right now.

Umm. I am on that same boat with my mom of living with her but we don't get along the best (my mom is extremely demanding and bossy) everyone else says what can we do? She's just going to continue. Anyway I don't think you would be an ah. Go for a walk or indoor play place perhaps? I'd try that or the library. I've done that bc I don't get along with my brother n his wife.

Advice please!

So I have a friend who loves my baby and will sometimes take care of him. Her whole extended family loves my family, my baby and it seems like every time he is with them, though, his basic needs are not met. They dote on him and play with him and are so fun with him, but he never seems to eat enough or drink enough. When he was really young, maybe a couple months old, I left my friend with him and she said he only wanted one bottle that day. He was starving. At the end of the day I had to nurse him for hours because of how hungry he was. I don’t understand how she didn’t get those cues. She told me that he cried a lot, and she bounced him etc., until he went to sleep. And I’m like, he was crying because he was hungry! So time has passed and he is now an older toddler so I thought maybe it would be better this time and I let them hang out with him for just a couple hours. When he came back home, he ran to a puddle outside and tried to start drinking it. When I brought him in, I filled up a sip cup and he drank the entire thing so quickly. He was so thirsty. I was so shocked. He now knows how to ask for water so I don’t get why he didn’t get water. I’m really worried about bringing it up, but I’m definitely not gonna allow them to take care of him again until he can talk properly. What would you do in this situation?

Am I being too sensitive?

I asked my husband to come to Target with me. He said he didn’t want to go and then proceeded to tell me that I cant do things by myself and I’m codependent. I just want to do things with him, I can obviously go by myself but I enjoy being with him. I told him thats insulting and he doesn’t understand why because he thinks he is just telling me the truth. This spiraled into a huge argument and we are now in separate rooms. Am I looking into this? Am I being too sensitive because of my hormones?

Weaning - 7 months

I’ve done this all before and I don’t know why I’m stressing.

My daughter is 7 months almost and I feel like I’m fighting a loosing battle with weaning. Some days she’s interested, others she barely eats anything, she had been unwell this week so I don’t think this also helped.

I’m not sure why I’m stressing about the situation but I just feel like she should be enjoying weaning more than she is. My son was a gannet and ate EVERYTHING. She seems to be the total opposite 😫

Anyone else in the same boat?

If your BD got married and decided to have another family years later would you be hurt?

Just curious if it had been 5+ years, your BD got married and had a baby with their wife. Would it upset you? And if it did, what would you say and to who?
