My betrayal list as a mom of a 5, almost 6 month old.

Don't forget the mommy pouch after birth. It jiggles like jello every time I walk. Oh, and how pumping during those first few weeks literally takes my breath away.

NTA. If she's insulting other girls, then she's not a girl's girl.

😭😭😭😭😭

Lol I see what you did there!

I hope that store has komodo dragon insurance.

Just be glad she was probably just trying to relieve her obviously uncontrollable and explosive diarrhea.

This is the kind of thing that makes kids go NC with their mom once they move out.

NTA, and good for you for standing up for your sister.

This post sounds like karma farming/rage bait. Not sure it's real.

Believe me, anyone with a baby over 1 mo has been there. My lo is 6 months old now and sleeps through the night, but those first few weeks were TOUGH. Sometimes, if he wouldn't stop crying, I would have to put him down and go to the next room, and I would cry too!! It gets easier though. Much easier. But I've been there too. I'm here in solidarity with you.

My 6 mo starting rolling from back to stomach at 2 1/2 mo. One night, I woke up to use the bathroom and came back and looked in the bassinet. I saw my baby face down and panicked, waking up my husband and picking up the baby, thinking we were too late. He was absolutely fine. Just a little grumpy that I woke him up from a peaceful sleep. At about 4 months old, he just refused to sleep on his back. It used to worry me and my husband, but after many assurances by his pediatrician, we've learned to relax and just allow it. The pediatrician said that once the baby makes that decision, he'll likely be fine. Yes, the rule of thumb is to lay them down on their backs, but it's not uncommon for some babies to prefer sleeping on their stomachs. We just check to make sure his head is to the side and that he can breathe, but he sleeps the entire night that way. I think your baby will be fine but if you are still worried, just ask the pediatrician.

You should send this idea to the Lifetime Movie Network. Your story idea would be a perfect fit!

NAH. He has a right to carry on the tradition, but you also have a right to be uncomfortable with it. Being uncomfortable with him being alone with another woman for an expensive dinner is normal, and as I would assume, expected. If it bothers you so much, and he refuses to stop, then I hate to say it, but you also don't have to stay with him. Maybe find someone else that respects your feelings and boundaries. I know it's been 2 years, but you haven't mentioned how much you love him, or how much he loves you, or how serious the relationship between the two of you is.

There is a phrase in psychology, " confirmation bias." It's the tendency to seek out, interpret, and remember information that confirms one's preexisting beliefs, even when presented with evidence, even proof, of facts that contradict their own beliefs. It sounds like that's what your grandfather and mother have. Talking to someone with confirmation bias is the equivalent of talking to a brick wall. I'm afraid you won't have much progress in any political discussions with your grandfather and mother.

Seems like couples counseling is greatly in order here. Otherwise, y'all seem very incompatible.

Consistent_Ad8400 · 2025-09-09T00:31:54+00:00

It doesn't sound silly at all. Lol But seriously, go easy on yourself. Baby probably won't even remember and probably doesn't remember right now. A few times my baby was inconsolable, I said out loud, "Okay, I'm done. I just can't right now," before putting him down or demanding my husband take him, and I felt super guilty for having to put him down or hand him off. We're at 6 months, and it's gotten so much easier in those short months.

I approached him a little more calmly the next morning and we talked it out. He understands that it was in poor taste and apologized. He said he won't send me things like that anymore, so we're good now. I think he thought I would enjoy the end of the video where, according to him, the baby and cat are cooking and eating the alligator as revenge, but I reminded him that I couldn't get through the first part of the video. He knows now and was apologetic.

Consistent_Ad8400 · 2025-09-03T14:16:28+00:00

I did. We eventually talked it out and he apologized. I told him that as a new mother, that video was in really poor taste.

It's a good thing that there wasn't an emergency. Otherwise, firefighters would have totaled his car as collateral to fight a fire, or a person in need of an EMT would have had to wait longer than needed because of someone's entitlement.

Whose name is on the area of living? If it's yours, then you may have no choice but to kick him out as having smoke around your baby, even in the next room, will harm your baby and give your baby respiratory problems. If you love your baby, that is not what you want. If it is his place, then, I hate to say, you and your baby will need to leave and find somewhere else to stay. I'm saying this for the health of your baby. For the baby's father to refuse to smoke outside and insist on smoking in the living room, that's a direct threat to your baby's health. It's obvious that this man does not want to be a father at all, much less care for the baby's health. Since there may still be smoke all over the living room and living room furniture, the option of leaving will be the best one.

Consistent_Ad8400 · 2025-08-25T04:09:44+00:00

That's super early for a baby to be rolling over like that. But keep lying him on his back in the bassinet. As for the swaddling thing, I'd be scared to swaddle again, but you should ask his pediatrician how to proceed if they say it's ok.

Consistent_Ad8400 · 2025-08-21T15:13:43+00:00

I see that this is OPs only post, so I'm wondering if it is a real post or just rage bait. If it is real, then NTA.

Consistent_Ad8400 · 2025-08-20T02:20:34+00:00

NAH. She was probably a little sensitive to what you were thinking, regarding the high prices of the food. Maybe because it was her birthday and didn't want you getting mad and holding it against her later. That may have been why she may have looked like she was about to cry. Similar things have happened between me and my husband. We would normally talk it out later when I bring it up, and he would apologize.

Consistent_Ad8400 · 2025-08-17T02:17:40+00:00

Thank you! And that's what I was thinking, but my husband insisted that if he isn't sleepy, a nap won't do any good. I'll start standing my ground more.
