Relationship Discussion (non-explicit)

OP, are you sure your wife even remembers/notices the call texts?
If I did this it wouldn’t be on purpose, but I also wouldn’t assume I should not run errands because of a call with grandma that could easily happen an hour later. You and DD could do that when we get home and I’m cooking dinner. It would not lodge as a sacred appointment, but more like a “check in Sunday evening” obligation. |
You can't even hold space for the PP's point without barfing out these generational tropes and stereotypes. That's a you problem. Get help with it, if needed. |
| I definitely do not want to be on a group chat or speakerphone call with my husband and his parents. I noped right out of that somewhere around my first wedding anniversary. |
This, but also: who demands Sunday at 4pm? Isn't that peak "finish the errands, cook something, start the prep for Monday" rush for most people with kids, certainly younger kids? Grandma sounds like a manipulative mess. |
Because you are the poster child of your generation. Perhaps try to be a little more thoughtful and less of a cliché and then you won't feel so called out by the "older generation." |
SAME, girl. I like my ILs but only because I don’t have to talk to them that often. That way I have plenty to catch up on when they visit, too. Helps pass the time! |
What about any of this justifies the "irrational anger" mentioned in the OP? ZERO. OP has anger management issues, and control issues, and probably a few other issues. And you think his mama is nothing but "kind and loving"? |
For funsies, since you're making these assumptions about me: what generation am I?
A lot of y'all make up whole characters to hate on this forum. I find it hard to believe that your projections and strawmanning stops here. |
Good fences make good neighbors. Good boundaries make good In-Laws. |
So just your conjecture and projecting about OP and no actual evidence that grandma is evil? Got it. |
Why, so you could come back and say "you're so wrong!" and we will just have to take your word for it? It's plainly obvious what generation you are. Take that however you will. |
Unless you get your children's written consent prior to this, you are, in fact, raping them. Effing pedo. |
Such extreme black and white thinking. I'm pretty sure that's a marker for at least one disorder... Grandma doesn't have to be "evil" to be controlling. Your point was that there was ZERO (all caps) evidence that she was "...anything but kind and loving" Now, let's be real: nobody is always kind and loving. So, on its face, your argument has some serious structural integrity issues. But it stands to reason that if, as you propose she was nothing but kind and loving, her son might've inherited at least a few of those traits. Then, we come back to what we know of the OP, who, in his own words, was "irrationally angry" that his wife didn't force their kid to call his mama. Doesn't sound "kind and loving" to me. Granny doesn't need to be "evil" to be self-centering. A lot of that generation really is all about themselves, very "me first", etc. But that's not necessarily "evil". Your willingness to paint her as perfect is your own biases speaking. Nobody's perfect. Not even sweet ol' gran. There is a significant chance there's WAY more to the story about why DD doesn't want to talk to her, why OP is forcing her, why DW is shielding her, and why gran is so damned demanding. We'll never know, but it's a good exercise in not buying the hype. Or, at least, recognizing when we've bitten and analyzing why. In any event, black and white thinking isn't compatible with a greyscale world. Best of luck with that! |
Thank you for finally and definitely confirming that you are completely batshit crazy. |
You are a messmaking mess. Why are you even here? This isn't even quality trolling or shitposting. You just look stupid. Why do that to yourself? |
