I think my baby is cuter than my niece, and I don't really feel bad about it. (The niece is cute, but mine is just cuter. Shameless.)
I'm with you here. I send group texts with pictures of my baby and my brother aparently feels like there's a competition and he tries to one up me by sending pictures of my niece... but, sorry dude, my baby is full of cuteness.
I'm personally believe it should be her decision so I'm holding off until my LO is old enough to ask me herself.
This is me too. No judgment on others, just personal experience. My parents got my ears pierced when I was two months old. Earrings are cool and all but I wear them mayyybe once a year. I feel like if I had chosen to get them pierced I would be more inclined to make an effort to wear earrings.
My mom wanted to wait until I asked to get my ears pierced so I had them pierced for my 5th birthday. I stopped wearing earrings in high school and I think my holes may be closed. I am glad she waited until I asked and now it was my choice to no longer ear earrings. It is super awkward when people give me earrings as a gift however.
Not sure if this is a FFFC...I am kind of possessive of LO around the ILS. Like probably not normal. I'm not this way around my family or friends. I just get really on edge and crazy inside especially when my FIL has him. He just whisks him away and insists on trying to calm him down when he's fussing or change his diaper when I want to do that. Like I have to tell him no I am doing it multiple times before he lets it go. They're good people I just feel like since I have been back at work I don't want anyone messing with my time with LO and DH. I feel worse about it now because we are seeing them tomorrow and I am thinking of ways to keep LO to myself after having just booked a 5 day trip to visit my family. I am also thinking about ways to avoid this by him and other family when we go to DH's two family reunions this summer. Long story short I guess I'm selfish.
I'm not objective on this issue, but I will say I don't think this is selfish at all.
Thanks. I guess not. Got to tell myself that more.
Lmao at your description chicorojo, I'm sure you do not have an old sock body!
For the record, I'm certainly not condoning trying to hide and contain and manipulate your body to make you feel better about yourselves. I hate that I use it as a crutch. You ladies really are beautiful just the way you are! As hypocritical as that sounds, I am completely serious and not just saying it to kiss ass. I genuinely wouldn't notice the extra pudge or sagging boobs on someone else, and I even though I know I'm exactly in the same boat I can't help but feel self conscious about it anyway. I know it'll get better though.

Yes! My nephew is 6 weeks older than DS and I swear every time we go to the doc and DH updates his family on how big DS got, of course SIL has to say that her DS was bigger. And she even cries (literally) because she accuses her family of loving my DS more. It's completely ridiculous and I have to grit my teeth at every family get together
That's such a coincidence! Mina is 6 weeks older than her cousin.
My family keeps trying to compare the cousin to Mina, which is unfair to the cousin. Mina was born at 41 weeks, and her cousin at 38. It's entirely unfair to judge 2 babies anyways. Sorry about your family drama!
