People feel so entitled when it comes to babies. Like yes it takes a village but that doesn't mean that they are entitled to every milestone. My oldest is 25 and my MIL is STILL holding a grudge that I hesitated to let her in the room while I was pushing and that I wanted 100% of hubby's attention at the time. (Hence the hesitation in the first place)

Story 2: bucket crabs. If they can't escape, you don't get to either.

S1: The mil was completely out of line and disregarded every boundary OP set. I also would’ve immediately walked out. Pregnancy is hard mentally and physically. The constant stress from the MIL was unnecessary. OP’s husband needs to step up and reign his mom in.

Girl with controlling family, she needs to stay away from her family. I hate that for her but she needs to stay away and live her own life!

story 1: it’s a bummer, but ultimately this is why some people just don’t get to know about other people’s exciting news or milestones😕 if OP had waited until she started showing to tell her MiL then she would have probably had months of peace and happiness in HER OWN PREGNANCY.

5:00 That was so embarrassing! She didn't want a part and wasn't even dressed!

That last story was comedy gold! It reads like the answer to math problems we had in school. "If John has 2 children and Peter has 5 children, how much more money does Peter spend on outings and vacations? Explain your answer"

Story 3: He’s right. The brother’s jealousy is ridiculous. I understand that I can afford less travel than my sisters because I have 3 kids, and they have 2 (the middle one), and 1 (my youngest sister). It would be ridiculous of me to rant at my sisters about this.

for story 1 - do u guys even know what boundaries are? doesnt matter of what the mil is doing is "just what moms do" - pretty sure op has made it clear in one way or another that thats not what she wants and mil is doing it anyway. why should someone be grateful or just let it slide that someone is doing something that they specifically dont want? thats just ignorant behavior

Don't mean to sound like a terrible human being. But if you can't afford children, don't go on having, 5 of them . Then complain you don't have money for trips

@L.Turtle28 1 month ago

For story 1: some people really don’t like the attention when they are pregnant or at all and that’s okay. You can be exited about things but you cannot steamroll others boundaries.

Story 1, granny really needs to read, and UNDERSTAND her Bible. It isn't a buffet, and she has been everything BUT Christ-like

@kaseebecerra9442 1 month ago

I really like Claire. Keep her.

It's not luck it's money management.

Guess you could say that 1st story was really at the MILs expense. 🥁

@samanthabryant3054 1 month ago

Setting boundaries with in-laws can be difficult but you absolutely have to from the start. You have to emphasize your limits and what you will and will not tolerate, otherwise it becomes them treating your baby like “our” baby. One of my favorite memes says: no thank you for the parenting advice, I’ve seen your work. I love my in-laws but not setting boundaries just isn’t an option. If anyone chooses not to accept them, that’s when it becomes a limited or no contact situation.

@davidyaconis7002 1 month ago

Wow... Either the runaway at 24 story was a streaming pantsload and the OP got bored, or they got HK'd before getting on the plane by the fiance, who was in on it the whole time...

More Claire please!! 😊

@StrawberryB-b1c 3 weeks ago

2:54 you know what pissed me off about the statement the new chick said…why can’t yall just respect people’s boundaries ? If someone says they don’t want or need or don’t want something done why can’t you just respect it? Why does someone have to give into you cause of a position, title or it’s just something moms do??

@MusicIsMyEscape21 1 month ago

1:08 Smh why try to make it something it’s not. That was unnecessary. Let the story do it’s job sometimes😂
