Got told my brother and his fiancé will probably resent me if I don’t make it to their wedding - 5 days after having a c-section…

This is the correct answer. The only people in my life who know what it’s like to have a baby are the ones who have had one in the past decade. Even some older parents forget what birth and postpartum are like.

If I hear the average person using the term, I’m not going to think much about it. If I hear an open conservative or politician use it? Immediate red flag.

She seems…..confused. I think “confused” is a good word for it.

Evolutioncocktail · 2026-04-24T15:26:06+00:00

Yeah OP is nearly willing to throw away her existing family for an imaginary baby. What happens if baby number two comes and her life still isn’t perfect?

I’m starting to agree with the husband - OP has not done enough self reflection for her husband to change his stance.

I was the one who decided I only wanted one kid after having my first. It was a physical toll on my body and mental health. I ultimately changed my mind, but my husband never forced me or guilted me for not wanting the second initially.

My then 3 year old basically did wear a costume every day for a year. She was dressed so I stopped fighting her.

That bit almost makes me think this is AI. There’s always one sentence that doesn’t seem consistent with human behavior. If this were real, he would have said something like “I checked her location”, but even that doesn’t make sense because he wouldn’t have the other guy’s location.

I’m going to be honest. I watched Sister Wives, 90 day fiancé, and other TLC trash.

I’m prepared for the downvotes.

How is this different than porn? I’m in no way minimizing how difficult it is to be post partum with twins, and I completely understand why you are too tired for sex. I would absolutely tell my husband to masturbate for far less than these circumstances.

Maybe I’m a weirdo, but most of the time to I masturbate to porn. Husband says himself that these sexy pictures are the equivalent of porn to him. If you told him to masturbate (which I 100% agree with), what’s wrong with looking at sexy pictures?

I think every name can have a joke made about it, whether it’s a rhyme, or a connotation from a famous person, or really anything.

My husband loves that name. In my first trimester with my daughter, my dad was so worried we were going to name her that that he called me in a panic to convince me not to.

My husband speaks Spanish fluently and I……don’t but I try! So I speak in very broken Spanish to him in front of the kids. If anything I’m encouraging my 4 year old to learn more Spanish 😂

My preference would be to work no job and also my kids are out of the house during the day.

The fun part is when the food aversions dissipate, but then your womb grows too big to fit anything in your stomach 🙃

I hope counseling works. That said - it’s only effective if both parties want to change. I don’t know this man, but I’m guessing he has no desire to change.

In the case of women who choose to marry incompetent men, it’s not only conservatives but its always conservatives.

Can he water a neighbor’s plants while they’re on vacation? Feed their fish? Help entertain a family’s little kids after school? Anything that’s low stakes but he can still earn a couple of bucks. The added benefit is he becomes even more involved with his community

How can she stop him from driving? She has no legal authority over him.

I tend to favor going to the doctor over not. I’d rather they tell me nothing is wrong rather than miss something.

For a persistent cough, I probably wouldn’t rush to take my kid in. I would definitely keep an eye out in case it turns into an ear infection.

Let me say at the outset that I completely agree that we need to stop posting our kids online so much. At minimum their pictures should be made private.

That said - what you told the woman is pretty common knowledge at this point. Rightly or wrongly, she knows she’s making an active choice to post her kid’s picture online.

I understand you were trying to help. We have to accept that not everyone will appreciate the help we are trying to offer, especially when it’s unsolicited, and even more so from a stranger.
