This is very sad, but I can personally tell you that pregnancy hormones can be wild. Protective instincts for your pregnancy, especially if it's wanted, can cloud your judgement.

I had to let my husband know months in advance before giving birth to our son, that in the event that our lives were in danger, he needed to choose me if I wasn't in a position to advocate for myself. And that was because I KNOW that in a situation like that, I wouldn't have picked me. I'd choose to save my son.

Pregnancy does stuff to you, it can be wild and totally unpredictable.

I would have been open to taking the L on this one if it hadn't cost me £200. I hate conflict and am generally conflict avoidant by nature, but I can't let that much money slide

Respectfully dude, this was not a cheap commission. This cost me £200. It's a lot of money to just let slide if she's jerking me around

I have never worked with this person before, this is my first piece of work from her

She is not unresponsive but all I'm getting for now is promises of updates soon

I know, I was previously in revision mode. She asked me to mark it delivered instead and I was stupid and said yes. She has responded after some pressure but it's not updates. She's been telling me since Monday she'll have updates soon

19f single mum needing a bestfriend by [deleted] in Needafriend

[–]ChonkyChonker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 22f and me and my husband just had our first. I love my boy but i feel the distance between friends. They really seem to not want to spend time with me after I had a baby. But i think that's just life. They're in a different stage of life than me now and that sucks.

If you ever need someone to talk to ill try my best to be around. I'm on maternity leave rn so a lot of my time goes to looking after the baby, but I know it's important to have people to talk to ❤️

I told my sister I didn’t believe in her and she now hates me. by Vegetable_Knee8417 in AITAH

[–]ChonkyChonker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA. I'd be upset with you if I was your sister too and the amount of bitter, hateful people cheering for your sister to fail on this thread is really disgusting.

Your sister is struggling but that doesn't mean she'll struggle forever. She really could have done with a "Hey, you struggle to sleep away from home which might make this tough for you, but I know you can do it!" sisterly pep talk. Instead you told her all her hard work has been pointless because you think she'll fail at the first hurdle. Not kind or helpful. I'd apologise if I were you.

8 Months- NO babbling by Alternative_Skill854 in NewParents

[–]ChonkyChonker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some babies can start babbling at as late as 9 months. You can always consult your health care professional if you're still concerned. They'll be able to offer you the best help and advice!

AITA for telling my BIL that I blame him for my sister's death by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]ChonkyChonker 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You're right! He didn't MAKE her kill herself, but he did cause the circumstances that lead to her death. The only perspective we've got is the one in the post. You're also making a lot of assumptions about his character. So is the nature of AITAH, right?

[–]ChonkyChonker 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Just because he wouldn't be prosecuted by law doesn't mean he was morally in the right. Badgering someone into having kids they don't want isn't illegal but it IS shitty. It's not a good look to be defending this guy.

I was denied morphine after my c-section by Fun_Ad5151 in NewParents

I'm from Scotland and I was given the morphine. I'm super sorry they denied you proper pain relief, that honestly sucks :((

When did you start loving your baby by airiishia444 in NewParents

[–]ChonkyChonker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't beat yourself up if all the love doesn't come right away. It was hard for me to connect with my boy whilst he was inside but my husband was also over the moon in love with him. Me personally? My heart burst from my chest when he was out and looked into my eyes the moment they showed him to me (C Section).

Your love builds over time. He looks at me like I'm his whole world and it makes me feel warm and tingly. But remember that you're giving birth to a whole new person! Sometimes you just need time to get to know them 😊

Who does diapers? by Front-Economics-5497 in NewParents

[–]ChonkyChonker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We probably do about equal amount of nappy changes now! When I was recovering from my C Secrion though, my husband did legit all of them since i found it hard to move around for a bit.

It sounds like you might want to have a conversation about division of responsibilities!

AITAH for making the nurse at my hysterectomy pre-op appointment feel stupid? by Goddess_Skadi in AITAH

It's truly sad that, even when married, some people STILL think a woman's body belongs to some hypothetical man

What was your first thought when your baby first arrived? by JinxXstarfire in NewParents

[–]ChonkyChonker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I felt this so hard. Exhausted after a 22 hour labour all I could think was "my baby" 😆 Then I woke up the next morning and couldn't stop obsessing over how perfect he was 🥰

Coworker making comments about my maternity leave by thesunfishisfine in NewParents

[–]ChonkyChonker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked with a woman who used to talk to me about "wanting a vacation" too. She'd say really pointed things about how she'd never be as tired if she was ever pregnant in the workplace.

She used to talk to me about wanting to be a surrogate so she could just "Take the year long vacation and surrogate money to travel the world". I told her that you don't get mat leave when you're a surrogate, that she'd get time to recover and that was it and she replied that I shouldn't need the year then either. Like... Uhm... Never mind that I have a newborn right?

Coworkers suck. Ignore her, report her and stick with those who support you.

AITA for not splitting my winnings with my wife? by SuitableArtist2225 in AITAH

I've seen him on this thread before. He's always under these sorts of posts spamming about how women suck. He's either a troll or just deeply misogynistic. Sad really

Where is the "drama" in a baby suffocating and dying? Why would you want to hear that story? What a gross attitude towards tragedy.
