I’m currently hiding in our bedroom with a bottle of wine, while my husband plays video games in the living room, probably telling his online friends how I “ruined Christmas.” My phone is blowing up with texts from his mom, calling me selfish, and I’m debating whether I should just block her until New Year’s.

My (28F) brother (30M) and his wife (27F) had their first baby a year ago. I’ve been helping them out by babysitting for free a couple of days a week since they can’t afford daycare, and I work from home. I genuinely love my niece, and I was happy to help out at first. However,
Earlier today, I (21M) was driving my mother (39F) and my younger brother (5M) to run some errands. My mother has a tendency to give unclear directions while I’m driving.

I (45M) don’t have living parents, so all family gatherings are with my wife’s (36F) family. Early on, I often felt like an outsider at these events. Her father made it clear he didn’t think I was “good enough for his daughter,” and her mother and I had a strained relationship due to our differing
A couple of weeks ago, I traveled to another country to see an artist I’ve been a fan of for six years. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me, and I’d been waiting months for it. I sacrificed a lot financially and mentally to make it happen. Since it was my first (and probably only) time

I’m (31F) set up to work from home, and we’ve converted one of our three bedrooms into my office. My husband (33M) and I don’t have kids yet, so the other rooms serve as a guest room and storage. Everything was going smoothly until now.

So, this past weekend was my younger sister’s big wedding day, which was a massive affair with over 200 guests at a fancy venue. I’m 38 weeks pregnant, but my doctor gave me the green light to attend as long as I didn’t overdo it and stayed close to home.
