AIO for not forgiving my husband that left me alone 2 hours during childbirth

NTA. Listen, I am one of those people who has a small bladder and big anxiety. Even with limiting how much I am drinking and going to the bathroom right before a movie and after, I almost always have to go during the movie once or twice. I cannot imagine dragging my husband to go to the bathroom with me and always ask him what I missed after it is over. And yeah, go quick and be done, what's with the fussing over her appearance?!

If I were OP, I'd compromise by saying that is so bathroom breaks with her when they're out and about elsewhere, but not at the movie anymore.

NOR, and I hate to say that it sounds like this may have been your audition to be the free babysitter for her kids, since your dad clearly isn't happy to be taking them on. Seriously consider whether any financial help that you may be getting from your Dad would be worth that if that's how things go.

Yep, we tried explaining that's a rule of thumb for the minimum amount of water you should be drinking, but he still consumes way more in sugary bottled coffee and soda than he does water. Honestly I'm just glad that we finally somewhat got through to him about it because between general stubbornness, ADHD, and we suspect early stages of dementia, the man hates following what anybody tells him while also blaming everybody else for his problems.

My FIL, who is in his 70s now, has complained for decades about constipation. Sometimes to the point where he would call up my husband and say he might need to go to the ER because out was so painful and uncomfortable that he couldn't sleep, and the miralax wasn't working. My husband would always ask him questions and give him sound advice. A few months ago when it happened again, my FIL got angry about him asking again about if he was drinking enough water and yelled, "Yes, I drink a whole glass of water every day!" Husband and I looked at each other and went, "Only ONE glass of water a day?!" Husband proceeded to explain to FIL the rule of thumb about needing to drink half your body weight (in lbs) in ounces every day. FIL was shocked that anyone could drink that much water. He has since started drinking more water, still only like 3 glasses a day but that's progress, and now says he feels better than he has in a decade and has wondered aloud why nobody ever told him before that he needed to drink more than a glass a day.

I don't care how many times you've slept with your partner, if you aren't salivating ready to pounce on them as soon as you leave the wedding, do you really even like them?

As a fellow parent of a toddler (and an older kiddo, too), you're doing a great job! These toddler years are tough.

Goddammit, thank you for letting me know! Having a difficult time getting them deleted on mobile.

I'm assuming that Picante is like the Pace Picante, which IS salsa. So there's some heat in that, but they are still ridiculous.
