Do I have the right to be angry?
Hi, I crocheted a cloud mobile with planets and stars underneath for my cousin's newborn. When I gave it to the family, his girlfriend said in a dry tone that she didn't want it because it would make her son stupid because planets don't exist under a cloud. When I explained to her that it was a mobile and was just meant to look cute, she took a pair of scissors and cut up the whole thing in front of me. We started to argue a bit until she finally told me I should never show my face again and that I wasn't allowed to have any contact with my cousin.
What do you all mean?
Yeah, that’s understandable. You did work for a gift. If she doesn’t want it for (also more absurd) reasons, is that okay, but cut? I can’t do that.
To forbid you to contact your cousin – what the hell does she think is who she is?
But I’m sorry for the little one now – because children’s toys are often completely unrealistic, fairy tales are unrealistic, children’s books are almost all too – and later, it is not allowed to read Harry Potter and the like, because it could otherwise “evaporate” because magic isn’t real? …
That just doesn’t make sense in my eyes, especially now he’s still a baby that means he doesn’t know anything about planets and other things
That’s so mean. You’ve given you a lot of effort that looks nice and there’s a lot of love behind it. Unfortunately, such people are also so they don’t understand how much work is behind it. But the child is not stupid.
Thanks for the answer
Oh, man, I’m really sorry for you.
That she doesn’t want to hang up the mobile is one. But to destroy a handwork before the eyes of the one who did it is not possible.
I’d be done with the Trulla.
If your cousin lets her out of contact with you, that’s his problem and not yours.
That was a pure disrespect. She obviously had the right not to use it and tell you her opinion. It’s rude, but better than lying.
But that she destroyed it was really disrespectful to you and your mission.
That she’s forbiding you to contact the baby is a legal matter. Whether you have a basic right to see the baby regularly needs to answer a lawyer.
My personal assessment would be, “No you have no right to see the baby.” You’re not a parent and you don’t have a bond to the baby or the baby to you. But that doesn’t have to be right. I’m not a lawyer.
I don’t want to see the baby either. I just have something about it that she wants to forbidden me to see my cousin.
Okay, I got that wrong.
He’s an independent person. If he can’t afford anything, it’s a problem. You can’t deny it
Thanks for the answer
Wow, that sounds like “whoever has her to the girlfriend needs no more enemies”
What is your relationship with each other and how did the other family members respond to this action? If there’s never been anything weird before, could it be the hormones? So I’m trying to find a plausible justification, but it’s hard for me.
I would be very disappointed at your place and it would take a lot of time and effort to bend that again to some extent.
For example, I feed vegi and she always makes funny comments and otherwise she was never really nice and the other families members were on another day already there I was not really well on the actual day and I had a lot to do
Okay. I see. So I have different attitudes to life. You don’t sound like you’re posing on your own and trying to convince them of your opinion. Therefore, your different views could even be refreshing. The prerequisite is that both sides are open to each other. If you like, but this is not your task, you can ask yourself what your “problem” is with you or even ask them openly.
Personally, I would be very happy if jmd would crochet something for my children. Because it comes from the heart and you can’t buy it.
Thanks for the dear answer 🫶🏼
She can’t forbid you from contacting your cousin.
Poor guy with her.
Thanks for the answer 🫶🏼
Of course, it is absolutely legitimate that you are mad! You’ve done all the work you’ve done, which was just so ungratefully destroyed. I’d be out of your place. You just don’t do that!
And then to interrupt your contact with your cousin, it’s an absolute freak. She has nothing to tell you!
What did your cousin do?
He apologised to me for his girlfriend but we only write very rarely in contrast to earlier
That’s all right. I’d whip his girlfriend’s opinion and meet him. She doesn’t care.
I just wonder what hasn’t voted between you before?
In your place, I wouldn’t need a call to stay away. Destroying the handwork and the arguments are the last thing they said and made.
She has often made fun of my family, especially about me
That would have been my last gift first
I will continue to crochet small things for the newborn he can’t do anything for his mother but I won’t give her anymore because you have absolutely right
There is only hope that the child will not be as stupid and shameless as the mother.
Well, it has a great father
I hope that’ll tear it out. No, the reaction is really silly. You create a small piece of art as an eye-catcher, how small children actually love it and then something like that happens. I can’t.
It’s just a jam
I’ll keep things for the little crochet but there are Dan to give my cousin or send them by mail
However, newborns do not need mobile over their bed, but also in sleep as much physical proximity to the mother as possible.
What an ass!
Ask if your cousin would listen to you, but he’s supposed to be careful and reasonable.
How heartless is this witch, please?
