I need some opinions: I started planning my wedding last May, which gave me more than a year to plan. In picking the venue in August, my mother said she would pay half for the venue. I did ivf in November and had my daughter August 4th. My mom was so excited she called every day, damn near every hour which made it hard to care for my baby when I have to focus on answering the phone and talking to her. Eventually, we told her we need space to be Natalia's parents. There was a HUGE fight between my mom and husband bc he told her we got this so we can be her parents and not my mom who insisted that this was her second chance. So she told us 2 weeks before our wedding date, Sept 9, that we needed to pay for it on our own. So we have 2 weeks to come up with the remaining 10k, just had a baby, paying hospital bills, and working from maternity leave pay. We did it by putting it on my husband's credit card so now he's pissed to be 10k more in debt when it wouldve only been 5k for him. My mother thinks that we are mad for no reason. What do you think? Wouldn't you be pissed off too?
That's her fault and she needs to face the truth of it. This isn't ur second chance it's ur first
@lillyb she keep saying MY daughter is her second chance bc when she had me she chose to continue to go party, left me home alone when I was 5 to go out, etc. She told me she wishes she was with me every moment she could've. Instead my godmother, her gf at the time, raised me, took pictures of all my firsts and I bonded with Jayne, my godmother, more. She planned to have me, not realizing she really wasn't ready to have a baby whereas. I was, I planned my daughter, even when I'm exhausted, I still want her and love her with all of my heart and soul. I cannot imagine my life without her
It's ridiculous honestly. She's YOUR daughter not hers ur her mommy and u should be so not her. It's not her chance to raise another child if she wanted that then she should have another one
@lillyb exactly. I think she was butt hurt that we told her to back off (So I can be her mommy, not my mom) so she said "oh I was letting ya'll handle everything since you told me to back off". I think it's completely effed up. She blames him saying, well he told me to back off and he will handle it.
I would be pissed off cuz she is just being petty at this point. Obviously shes the one upset. It's not fair to u guys since she agreed to paying 1/2 of it and now backed out
@beachmama yep. I let her know how I felt and how the stress caused me to have to deal with postpartum depression. So now my mom and husband have beef and he is against even wanting to see her. He doesn't even want her buying our daughter stuff now bc he says he doesn't trust her (to keep her word)
Dad's FB Video!!
Did anyone see that video a dad posted on his daughters FB page? He saw a post she made where she bashed her parents and cursed them, called them lazy and told them they should pay her for stuff she did around the house... So he called her out on it and put the video on her page!! Sorry if I missed a post already about this already, but I just saw the video and IT WAS AWESOME!!! Hahahhaa!

Her helmet she got so she can be safe (as she told me) when she rides her bike and scooter lol
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
What would you do? - baby shower
SO my mom has been very negative about the baby my entire pregnancy. Especially in the beginning, she said the most HORRIBLE things about me, my DH and my unborn baby. Like that I was making a big mistake, that I was making her 2015 the worst year ever... etc etc. Even when she would do nice things she made me feel like I was a HUGE inconvenience and a burden to her. She told me to definitely NOT expect a shower or anything like that from her. Fine, whatever...
Rant!
My sitter used cottonelle wet wipes on my baby! Now she has huge rash!!! I totally get that my SO forgot to put the wipes in her diaper bag. But she could have told one of us and we could have brought her some or she could have went to the store and I could pay her back. I don't get it. She buys her clothes and toys, takes her places while I'm at work. The store is literally a 5 minute walk from her house. But she decided cottonelle wipes are ok? Ugh. Rant over.
@lillyb exactly
