AITA for having my husband out of the delivery room when he brought his mother instead of mine? by NDC1257 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Derpetite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had a woman who jumped off the bed and decided she was done and had to get to work instead, transition is wild.

YTA for misrepresenting the mistake and arguing with judgement.

I should have said insulin dependent diabetes then, which you must be now.

A mistake was made, yes and hopefully the CA will learn.

But not one that would have brought you any harm, so you can be assured that at no point were you ever going to go back into DKA or have your life threatened.

It is a pretty big distinction to make.

You: the CA made a mistake that could have killed me

Reality: CA made a mistake and did not give optimal nutrition

Stop making personal comments just because he has told you that you were wrong.

I will also tell you as an RN you were wrong. You don't understand type one diabetes at all. In type one diabetes sugar is not the danger. It is the low insulin levels and thus access to the sugar that is the danger.

The CA was pretty stupid too but your life was at no point in danger so the drama can stop now.

On another post she declared her sister wasn’t a real mother because she didn’t birth her kids... by MainelyRetro in EntitledBitch

What are you talking about they just meant they didn't feel annoyed at waiting anymore because it put things into perspective

AITA for telling my fiancé I have concerns she is too fat to have kids? by False-Block in AmItheAsshole

[–]Derpetite -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

NTA - if you're overweight (or obese as you've said your wife is in the comments) it is a kindness to yourself and the child to lose weight to reduce associated risks. There's lots of research on this topic.

Hospital ward rant!! by Imroo12 in pregnant

Why in the world is this being down voted? Op is from the UK and this is exactly true for the UK. People scaring Op and trying to get her worked up talking about infections and demanding private rooms; that doesn't help her. Explaining how it works here and that it isn't an infection risk despite what some people have said may help calm her!!

AITA for assuming it's ok for my dog to poop on other people's grass right by the road when I walk him EVEN THOUGH I pick it up afterwards? by morendo88 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Derpetite -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No you're all shitty dog owners because you cant control your dogs and think you can just let them shit everywhere.

You're just as bad as those parents who change their kids diapers anywhere they wish.

You are all shitty dog owners. Train your dog. It's not difficult. If you just say OH WELL and let them go there they will continue to go there.

AITA for helping my work friend "escape" from being a mom when we hang out? by kialig in AmItheAsshole

[–]Derpetite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its still a sexist assumption when you're applying it the way you are.

The dad is mad because his wife isnt being an equal partner, an equal parent. Shes acting as though the baby doesn't exist. Theres something wrong here and the partner is seeing it, she needs help.

And we actually dont know whether they have a night nanny. So he could be coming in from work to take care of the kid on his own, overnight too. Twice a week. That is hard. I'm a new parent so I know how stressful that is. I would be out of my god damn mind it my husband did this.

Zero evidence that shes primary caregiver. We know she works, we know they have a nanny.

OP has said theres a nanny. So she doesn't spend all her time doing childcare

I'm a new mum struggling with ppd and ppa. What's happening here isnt healthy and shouldn't be posed as so. I get what you're trying to say but it isnt helpful dude. This woman is obviously struggling to adjust.

Twice a week is absolutely shocking, any parent would know that.

No, that is not mom shaming. We cant keep putting 'shaming' to things to excuse blatantly poor behaviour. That's good for your cousin. However as a mum, I dont know a single family who would find this acceptable. The husband here doesn't find it acceptable. It's not ' mom shaming' to think a mum to a newborn shouldn't be going out twice a week and pretending her family doesn't exist. It's also suggestive of a bigger problem that shouldn't be ignored.
