K im overall a big fan. She seems really nice and her recipes are great… but im not loving her exploiting her teen daughter’s dance competitions. Personally, I would never post my daughter (especially underage) in those little costumes on an incredibly public platform. Isn’t she Mormon? Aren’t they quite conservative (not from Utah so I’m not in the loop aside from slomw which I’m sure isn’t the best representation haha)
Google has me worried it’s melanoma… but it’s not starting at the cuticle. It’s been there since about January but it’s not growing out, not getting worse either though. I know I should probably get it checked out but has anyone had this and had it not be something bad?
About two weeks ago my mil texted that she’ll be in a town near our city to see her sister next week and wanted to come stay with us on the 9 and 10th. Mother’s Day weekend. I have two kids, 3 and 5 and they’ve been so excited for Mother’s Day and selfishly, I feel like that’s my day and I want my kids to myself. I initially responded and said that wouldn’t work but she was welcome to come for brunch on the 9th. She left me on read.
Today I sent a follow up asking if we should keep that day open for a visit, she responded saying “truthfully I’d like to stay there all weekend so if that doesn’t work I’ll just go home”. I am fuming. I tried to set a boundary and I think any young mom would be less than stoked to host their mother in law all of Mother’s Day weekend.
I called my husband and he said he’s staying neutral. He totally gets my feelings but also says he doesn’t feel the same so I want to hold the boundary I need to call her, to avoid tones being misread in more texts. So now I have to awkwardly call her and tell her no again.
I feel like such a bitch but also, I am a stay at home mom who works my butt off at home while my husband works insane hours and I just want MY day of celebration and appreciation. If she comes I need to get the whole house ready and be on “hostess” duty all weekend. I’m so mad that she, as a mom and woman, can’t just pick up on the vibe and back off. I was more than happy to make her brunch on the Saturday, I planned to get her flowers etc, but this is too much.
AIO?
