Hi all just joined here but bit confused how this all works 🧐

Hello . Have you read the getting started guide? It covers the basics of how the Talk forum works -

If you start following some threads, you will soon get the hang of it!

Thanks. Only getting notifications by email if I have a reply ?

Hiya I'm also new to this! Looking for good advice on overbearing grandparents (my other half parents)

@Helenastro21 If you want to be notified of other posts, you can select this by going into 'threads I'm watching'. Once you are on (or watching) a number of threads, this might result in a lot of emails!

@Ivysmama Either 'relationships' or 'parenting' would be good places to start a thread for advice on dealing with this, depending on whether it's about the family dynamic as a whole or specifically its effects on parenting your children.

Aw not so good. I have a granddaughter and deliberately don’t interfere because my own mum did that with us ! Can your other half not speak up ?

He said he would speak to her, but I think I need to pluck the courage to speak to her myself but she's quite intimidating and overbearing and I know she's going to twist it but I just don't know how to put it in a nice and polite way so it doesn't all blow up, as I'm.not someone that ever likes rocking the boat! Xx

You sound like a nice person but sometimes you have to speak up for yourself. My mum was like that and didn’t say anything for years. When I did I think she respected me more ! You have to do what’s best for you it’s a tricky situation.

Hi,
I’m a newbie at the ripe old age of 36, first time ttc , my husband who I have been with for 11 years has always said he didn’t want children and I chose to stay with him rather than lose the love of my life to seek a man who did want children, anyway my husband came to me a couple of months ago and said if it will make you truly happy I’m ready to try for a baby,
Shocked is an understatement, I just wish he said it 3 or 4 years ago, haha.
Looking forward to the journey ahead

Hi Helen that’s wonderful news. Children are such a blessing and even more grandchildren. Hope you have fun trying for a baby 😜
