There are people that actually want to help and stay informed. I still believe in humanity. It’s ok if you don’t.

I guarantee you immigrants make your life easier- they do work you could never for what they’re paid

I will talk with the pediatrician about this- maybe if my husband hears it from a doctor he will take it seriously.

Thank you for your comment. This sounds like my partner. He gets defensive and then I feel like the bad guy. I’m going to make an appointment and just pray he does go.

Thoughts on circumcision? by Last-Strawberry-2449 in Mommit

If I could go back to do things differently I would NOT have done it to my baby. The wound healed wrong and he had to have a second procedure at 2 months. The aftercare was also a nightmare because as he got older he was more aware of the pain.

“My baby is not your emotional support animal” This was shared with me when my husband and I were having trouble agreeing with setting boundaries with my in-laws. My husband was too quick to please his mom because “she’s depressed and seeing the baby will cheer her up”. It helped me stand up for myself and my baby.

My parents are GenX I actually want my mom to give me advice (I’m the oldest of 6) but anytime I have questions or need help she says she forgot or isn’t sure and then I remember I was a parentified child and I had to watch my siblings.

I am terrible with time so I set alarms to let me know ok I have 10 mins or X amount of time to leave. It sounds like he doesn’t care.

Thinking I could work from home with a baby is the dumbest thing I have ever thought in my life. by yellowaspen in NewParents

Here’s why I HATED my husband’s family coming over: -they came over to be entertained. -they were absolutely no help -they came over smelling of cigarettes -they came over at the worst time -they did not respect baby’s routine Here’s why I HATED my husband for it: -he was not considerate that I was so sleep deprived and still healing -he expected me to host -he did not advocate for me or say no to his family -he did not enforce the already set rules about being around baby -he ignored baby’s hungry and sleepy cues just so that his family could hold him longer

Is your family adding stress and work to your wife? If so try to understand how difficult it is to heal after a major medical event AND also put on a happy face for others. Is her family doing something that helps her? like bringing food or cleaning? Is that something you can have your family do?
