One rule for her, one for you. MILs are a different breed aren’t theyNarcissists?!
I am stupidly really pissed off about it. I wanted to elope, and when I was engaged she told me she’d never speak to me again if we did. So we had a proper wedding. So for her now to elope and then to find out via Facebook takes the real biscuit! It must have been quite planned as she’s got professional hair, makeup and flowers in the photo. I think I’m just cross she lied? I dunno. I have a lot of feelings about it and I’m not quite sure how to express those yet
Can’t even blame the MIL… this is my own motherOne rule for her, one for you. MILs are a different breed aren’t they🫣

Sure you can do with one kidney anyway right?Sorry I’ve missed the old thread!
@LongishCat I’m so so sorry to hear about your FIL! I’ve been thinking of you all.what a terrible time. Lots of love to the Longish cats!
@bottombanana thanks! How are you guys?
You summed up MIL perfectly. She’s not been too bad actually because she’s getting days in the week where she’s baby sitting so she’s backed off. Still makes the odd comment but nothing like it was.
two days til baby’s birthday and we have lots of nice things planned over the whole weekend which I’m looking forward to but with everything that happened with her birth and NICU stay also approaching a year ago gives me anxiety. I’ve spent the year just telling myself “she shouldn’t have been born till October” and I’m wondering at what point I just get over it.
Hope everyone’s ok! Worlds gone a bit crazy hasn’t it. So I’m probably going to have to start selling some organs to afford the nursery costs but that’s alright isn’t it.
Thanks @Definitelyme I would like to forever pretend October is her birth date really but we have a lovely weekend planned with my family on Saturday and then we’re going to the lakes for her actual birthday.Sure you can do with one kidney anyway right?
Not quite the same situation, but when my nephew was born (full term) he was very unwell, had to be helicoptered to a specialist hospital at 1 day old and had 3 operations over a few weeks. My SIL didn’t celebrate his first birthday as she said she couldn’t bring herself to as it was just reminding her of how horrendous the NICU stay and the whole situation had been. They had a day together as a family, and then they celebrated 6 weeks later - on the anniversary of when he came home from hospital and their “proper” family life began. I know that it’s different for everyone, but just to let you know others have felt similar about a first birthday approaching.
This is so lovely I’m going to let Baby Rita have 2 birthdays from now on, she’ll be like the Queen. Well, she was born on Jubilee weekend after allSure you can do with one kidney anyway right?

I thought mine had ended but then their new favourite game became “lets grab fistfuls of mummy’s hair”On the bright side, it’s only taken 6.5 months but I’ve just had a shower without losing what feels like half a head of hair! Hopefully the postpartum hair loss is at an end!
It’s so hard I totally get it. It’s a really big step xVisited baby wakas nursery today ready for her start next week and I cried. I fucking cried about her starting nursery in the baby room in front of baby’s and adults FFS

Damn right she deserves two birthdays! Nothing but the best for little Judy-Lee!This is so lovely I’m going to let Baby Rita have 2 birthdays from now on, she’ll be like the Queen. Well, she was born on Jubilee weekend after all
Lovely to hear from you @Babyyoda88
I hate it, I look at her new born photos every night and cry at least once a day about it all. Mr Waka asked me last night ‘is this what you do in bed’… YES, yes it isIt’s so hard I totally get it. It’s a really big step x
