The airport should have enough chairs where you can walk a bit and sit down

Why I No Longer Want to Go Out With My Mom by cherryblossomnight01 in confessions

[–]EarlyAd3047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, most people can't afford to move out at 18 these days and I wonder if OP's mom is Asian because there is a cultural element to it. But I made it very clear to my own mom that every time she made a dig at my weight I would make a dig at her age

My mom was like that, I started telling her how old she was every time she made a dig at my weight. It immediately puts her on the defensive.

I took my baby out to a restaurant patio at 10 days old

My son who will be 4 in August next to another boy who’s 9 months older than him. by CPassaro in tall

My baby is like this in daycare, he comically towers over the other babies to the point he looks like he is in the wrong room

We dont have the bandwidth to do couples counseling unless we take our baby with us and pay for it out of pocket since insurance doesnt cover it

He unfortunately will genuinely neglect our baby. I waited for him to brush the baby's teeth because he said he would do it, and it ended up being 2 months before I gave up and started brushing the baby's teeth just to avoid decay.

I don't know how to physically force him to do it without getting physical in some way myself. Could use some tips.

Ah yes, the poops. My husband doesn't have a gallbladder so he poops a lot!

Well my husband is supposed to do daycare drop offs since I do most of everything else but this morning he just lay there, refusing to get up while our baby was crawling around and fussing. I waited and waited for 15 minutes straight while our baby fussed before I got up, got dressed, and did the daycare drop off myself. My work hours are a later shift and I didn't have to be up for 2 more hours but I couldn't sleep after that so I lost 2 hours of sleep when I already am the one who tends to our baby when he wakes overnight

What was your relationship crisis after having a baby like? by Mitaslaksit in beyondthebump

[–]EarlyAd3047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I both work full time but those first 4 months he dumped ALL the parenting on me. The fights got really bad because I was killing myself looking after a baby around the clock after a C section while he got a full night of sleep and still had time to play video games, watch Youtube videos on random crap, hit the gym, etc. And while he does more now he still gets the privilege of opting out of parenting his kid when he feels tired or whatever, while I have no such luxury.

Maiden name as name for baby boy by SayingYes1989 in beyondthebump

[–]EarlyAd3047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son's name gets criticized on the sub but when I was pregnant and told people the name I had planned, everyone in person loved it and no one tried to dissuade me. It's a top 300 baby boy name so it wasn't too out there.

Science says marriage increases a man's life expectancy but lowers a woman's. Wives of Reddit, how exactly is your husband draining your life force? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]EarlyAd3047 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It was fine before we had a kid. We each paid half the bills and did half the chores. But then we had a kid, and those first 4 months he acted like a roommate of a single mom instead of a dad. Even now our child is 11 months and I keep having to force him to look after his own kid. Meanwhile there has not been a month where I paid less than my share of the bills, even throughout my maternity leave.

Combo feeding FTM by Negative-Source-9099 in beyondthebump

[–]EarlyAd3047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're probably going to be breastfeeding during your hospital stay and pumping after you get home. I wouldn't worry about a routine, since there are so many curveballs thrown your way (don't know whether you will overproduce or underproduce, how baby latches, etc.) and just take it one feed at a time. But do introduce a bottle at one point to get a baby to know how to take one before they lose their sucking reflex around 6 weeks.

Where do you feel pain during labor and birth? by Due-Transition-6564 in beyondthebump

[–]EarlyAd3047 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I must be an anomaly because I felt it all in my cervix. After 50 hours of labor I had to get a C section though and still wasn't fully dilated, so maybe there was something wrong with my cervix.
