My sister in law generally loves our kids and they adore her! However, since we bought a new home ( expensive) she’s been making comments such as your kids are spoiled, because we get them nice things or one day she said the kids need more adversity. My kids are only 5 and 7. Who says these kinds of things? Am I being overly sensitive?

Respond to her and say, “you are so right. God has blessed me so much to be able to provide for my kids this way. I’m so grateful.”

As someone who is a bit jaded, I think it’s coming from a place of “life won’t always be this nice for them”. Ignore her comments. Life may not always be this nice for them. But they are young children and you are able to provide a really nice childhood for them. They have the rest of their lives to experience the hard things and I’m sure you and your family will be there to help them through whatever comes. As long as your kids are learning to be grateful and recognize that they are not better than other kids because of what you are able to provide them, I see no problem.

Additional Posts in Relationships

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

Any tips for hard launching partners on social media? For context, I’ve (Indian American female) been dating my white American boyfriend for 3 years and we just got engaged after two years of convincing my parents. They are very happy and excited now, but I’m scared shitless about being ostracized / judged by my extended family and Indian community in the US once I “let the cat out of the bag” on the engagement news. I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.

Has anyone been through a situation that you were in a terrible relationship ( stress,anger, fights, swears, physical abuse, ego clashes) and how did you resolve it? Some might have worked on and stayed in the relationship and some might have broken up. I am looking for answers from both sides. How did you stay/work on it and how did you break up and move on? Me and my partner have strong feelings for eachother and are almost inseparable despite going through so much.

Is it irrational for me to get an “ick” for this?

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom. As we were leaving they said “thanks for lunch” — I was hoping they’d at least ask to Venmo me half as a kind gesture. Following lunch we grabbed dessert. I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit).

I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
