Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Relationships aren’t easy. Whether it’s between parents, siblings, friends, or partners, there’s a lot of work that needs to go into it to be successful. If one person isn’t putting in effort, the relationship is doomed. But it’s not always easy to let go of your ego and decide you want to change. In this particular Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who just had a baby. Some women are fine after, and some women have waves of ho…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. When you marry, you don’t just marry the person, but in a way you marry their family. You’re accepted as one of them, and there’s usually an obligation to have a relationship with different members. You’re expected to be at family functions, holidays, and the like.

What else was she supposed to do?

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It’s too common of a story when a woman is deeply unimpressed with her husband’s behavior. There’s the phrase deadbeat dad for a reason . You don’t hear the same descriptions of women and moms, not that they can’t be uninvolved, but it’s not the stereotype.

Fathers are parents too

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. It’s almost too common to disagree with your in-laws about something, and more often than not it’s between a wife and a mother-in-law. Now, I don’t want to point fingers at the man and say that perhaps he’s a spoiled mama’s boy, and that’s why this relationship dynamic occurs far too often, but it’s certainly possible. Anyway, there can be a slew of reasons why these two women can’t get along . Maybe there are expectations for caretaking, grandparenting, or fi…

“I'm pregnant with our second now, and I'm sure I'm hormonal, so missing out on these memories she made might be affecting me more than it normally would…”

You shouldn't have to “earn” the respect of someone who claims they love you.

Is somebody gonna match my freak?
