My aunt and cousins keep walking around my grandparents house calling “dibs.” (Not in front of me)

Today my grandpa mentioned my aunt called dibs on the table we were eating at…I’ve heard that they’ve said this about other things and I’ve never appreciated it but maybe it’s because they just piss me off/are assholes in general that I’m so irritated?! Also, my grandmas Parkinson’s-dementia is rapidly getting worse and I’m super emotional about everything right now…but like is this not so rude and just wild?!? Just need someone to tell me if I’m irrationally pissed lol

You're not sensitive and it is kinda a big deal. That's something horrible to do it's like your counting down their days. If i were you i would have them at up a living will

Was this started by your grandparents? Did they say something like...let me know what you want when we die?
Both of my parents have done this already and they are both in relatively good health.

my friends grandma (years before she passed) literally had her grandkids/kids stick post-it notes on things that they wanted when she passed on. her whole house was covered😂my family hasn’t gone to that extreme, but my perfectly healthy parents have already asked me and my brother what we would like too.
It is quite common for families to do these kinda things, or at least speak about it. If this isn’t normal in your family tho, and the grandparents don’t like it either, then yes it’s disrespectful. It’s still a sensitive topic either way tho, so don’t think you’re being dramatic. no one likes situations like these and it’s always gonna be upsetting x

Crazy or not

My mother in law has never really liked me. She called me a money grabbing slapper because her son earns good money and thinks I’m only with him and kept my child with him because of he’s money. Am I crazy for telling my partner to not have no contact with her for disrespecting me!

I’m in two minds…..

So I have recently seen a lot of influencers saying they aren’t posting there children faces anymore due to AI and people using them for the worst things you could think of possible

I post my child on fb and instagram (only family and school friends all account are private

I have also just started TikTok literally only have 50 followers I now feel so so guilty I just feel so proud of him and just want to show our day to day life

I don’t know what to do now

My mum also has him a lot and does ‘grandma day care’ post on fb and only has her friends and family on there too

I don’t know what to do & I feel as though I should be able to post what I want but also don’t want him in any danger

Mil doesnt get my 5 year old

My mil isnt close to my daughter, rarley see her (her doing)
Which means she just doesnt get my daughters personality at all.
Social wise my daughter takes after me, shes not a people person, shes pretty shy and hates people in her face or trying to make her laugh when she's clearly not in the mood.
When we see her she will still get in my daughters face trying to make her laugh, grabbing at her legs or arms (in a fun way- in her eyes)
My daughter doesnt like it and gets upset/angry.
This happens every time!!!! Like wtf
I want them to have a relationship but its like my mil cant be botherd actually making one instead she has to act the clown!

What would you do in this instance?

My son just started year 1. When I picked him up on friday ( second day of school) he was very upset. Said this boy said he doesn’t like my son because he has a bad haircut.

My son was realllyyy upset. The day before I had spoken to the boys mum during pick up and she seemed nice.

The thing is, they just mixed the classes for year one and the other boy wasn’t in his class before. But when we went to the summer fair just before the school closed ( the school hosted it) the boy was there and my son said how he was being mean to my son and his friend in the playground.

What should I do ? Should I dismiss it for now, or speak to the teacher?
What should I say to the teacher?

I don’t want to seem like I am complaining the first week of school, but I don’t want my son to come home upset either.

What would you do in a situation like this seriously? when the man you've been dealing with for almost a year now.. comes over your house and eats up you and your kids food drinks and snacks that he is not replacing.

When you bring it to his attention.. he says he's a guest in my home basically. But as soon as he comes over his first stop is literally the kitchen. Because he has no food at his house.. I'm starving to think he literally just wants to come over to eat and snack. When we first started talking.. I used to make him breakfast but once I realized he didn't deserve that i stopped. He drinks up damn near all the sodas and water in the fridge. Eats up all my kids snacks.. I came in the kitchen this morning with one pop tart left, after there was a total of 4 in there. 4 packs of crackers left but 8 total came in the lil box all together.. lastnight he was literally back and fourth in the kitchen.. had about 2 or 3 sodas and atleast 2 bags of chips. Ate a pack of ramen noodles.. which he goes after almost everytime he comes over.. I just put groceries in my house last week. He will come over mainly on weekends because he works.. but never seem to have any money to take care of himself. Am i wrong for getting fed up with this ??

This is so hard

My baby just turned 8 months and everything is still such a struggle.
I just totally didn't realise how hard having a baby is. Every new phase is hard and I'm constantly second guessing myself, wondering if I'm failing or doing the best that I can for my little boy. Every day feels like a fight and I'm exhausted.
I feel so bad that I wish away his baby months, and I can't wait until he's a proper little fun person toddling around and communicating with me.
I'm sad that this is not how I thought maternity leave would be. I thought it would be happier and full of love. Whereas it's exhausting, and full of anxiety.
Just sharing, in case others feel the same way. I know we'll get through this, but it's just bloody hard in the meantime...
