My inlaws since we have had our little man have been around at least every 2 in 3 days but 3 weeks in it’s really getting to me now. My mother in law will happily spend 6+ hours a visit and she sells it to us as helping out with cooking, baby care and housework etc but all she does is hog the baby when she’s here to the point I barely get to touch him and yesterday she made us a meal and did some bits in the kitchen but left the house at 10pm for me to have to pick up the dirty dishes and plates. Something I can’t par off until the next day because of the pet cats.
Wanted to get this off my chest here as she’s currently on her here way again lol. It feels too damaging to find a way of addressing this and I’d rather just suck it up and hope it wanes off naturally in time so its’s best left ranting on here.
Reframe it and see it as a positive that she’s hogging the baby, cos it gives you the space to fuck off to the kitchen and do the dishes in peace and quiet, or to go for a nice luxurious, lengthy shit followed by a long hot shower.
Better yet, leave baby with mum and take the Mrs out for a spot of lunch, or just a nice but quick coffee if she’s angsty about being away from the baby for too long.
Totally get where you’re coming from btw, but where family is concerned, best to just find the positive where this is one, cos you can’t stop her coming round and doing what she does without causing family drama, which is the last thing you need, so just find a way to make it work for you.
I appreciate the family element and trying to manage politics, but if that was me I’d have a frank conversation and tell them what was up.
I’m very lucky though, as I have a great relationship to my in -laws but that would grind on me after a while, especially as they’re American and culturally they don’t always have the same boundaries.
Fair enough, I’m genuinely yet to come across one that doesn’t stay in place, or one that is flimsy and breaks, so I’ve always considered it a user issue rather than a design one.
What beverage would you advise I buy if I wanna see one that doesn’t stay in place?
I’ll be completely honest and say that I simply haven’t noticed this change to bottles but now this has been highlighted, I’ve just realised I’ve been ripping them off for some time without paying too much attention. I hadn’t appreciated the purpose of this, but now I’ve tried keeping it on, the cap does click into place if you push it back enough and then you just need to position it to the left or right so it doesn’t hit your nose. Great idea IMO. Don’t see an issue with this at all.
This grids my gears. I’ve not watched it because I hate content that bombards me with sponsors and tells me to hit the like button the moment they start talking. This “content provider” picks his guests for clicks. Thus amplifying the “toxic fan culture” that for Arsenal represents the tiny minority of fans with agendas. Which perpetuates the toxic Arsenal fans myth even further. Sadly the You Tube algorithm will push this in front of me, while content creators that do interest me and I’ve actually subscribed to get pushed out of the way.
“Arsenal BREAK Tottenham” Literally means nothing. “Why Arsenal?” Good question mate, why are you constantly posting about a team you don’t support?" “Expression UTTER MELTDOWN” (of some utter twats who desperately want to be rich and/or relevant). Spurs fans ROAST Big Ange!" Well, that’s fine, it can only mean that St. Totterinham’s Day is approaching.
