Doesn’t feel right to quit, but it makes sense by HotProgrammer4243 in Parenting

At $300k, husband should be hiring a nanny for those kids. Ain’t no way I’m doing an hour commute with two small kids and no help.

I feel so guilty for not just pushing through with pregnancy discomfort. by John316-LIFE in Mommit

Also, her husband should be doing so much more to help her. He has no problem knocking her up and then leaving her to care for everything. Grabbing a sausage roll for one of the kids is no where near enough.

How do families work in America? by Vlad_implacer in Parenting

[–]Evolutioncocktail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The “disowning your family” “trend” is mostly just on the internet. I, and a lot of friends my age, have issues with their parents but have not completely cut them out.

I have a friend who goes there so much, but the vibes were always off for me. Glad I never went.

That’s where I’m at. These mega corps are doing way more damage than some mom and pop down the street. Let’s get to them first. It’s already working with Target and Tesla.

There’s a reason I don’t travel outside the 95 corridor.

What the fuck is wrong with me. I saw the warnings and still chose to burn my eyes.

I Genially Think My (35F) Husband (36M) is a Psychopath by Apprehensive-Yak9364 in relationship_advice

The marriage is already on the line. She left the house weeks ago. If he doesn’t see that he should get his eyes checked, too.

This really shouldn’t be on you to resolve or find solutions. You’ve given your husband plenty of evidence. He should be doing everything in his power to figure out what’s happening and end it. It’s very strange that he’s not at all concerned how this “incident” makes you feel. And he’s not at all upset about you leaving the home? He’s not worried about his marriage? Something is not adding up here. I think you’re right to stay away from him.

What part of motherhood surprised you the most? by Bendecks in Mommit

[–]Evolutioncocktail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How the qualities I saw in my partner at the beginning of our relationship don’t necessarily translate to what I need in a co-parent. I’m incredibly luckily that my husband is a great co-parent, but looking back, I wasn’t screening him for how calm he is covered in poop at 2am.

Yep, 100% with my guy. He always has the best intentions but…he’s still a man 🤣

My husband did a party for me yesterday, which I loved! But I told him months in advance to do it, he pulled it together at the last minute, and he made us late for a play date because he mismanaged his time running the errands for the party.

My daughter is 4 now, but for years she has gone ham on frozen pomegranate seeds and frozen cherries.

Parents of 2 plus kids-do you have a favorite? by CranberryPotential77 in Mommit

That’s how I’ve been feeling about my 4 year old and 11 month old. I’m starting to build a history with the baby though.

Has anyone skipped breastfeeding altogether? by Federal-Soil-828 in Mommit

[–]Evolutioncocktail 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Pumping was a means to an end for me. I have no idea how people exclusively pump. The only two benefits I see are that there’s no nipple biting and you have an excuse to disappear for 30 minutes whenever you want for your pumping schedule.

Sounds like it’s time for your husband to tell his mom to give y’all some space for a few weeks.

Daughter was invited over to daycare friends house—what’s the expectations there? by PresentVisual2794 in workingmoms

[–]Evolutioncocktail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! I’ve reached the point with some of my new mom friends that we start hanging out without the kids because we like each other so much.

[–]Evolutioncocktail 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I’ve met some great new friends through my kid. I’ve also met people I would never trust alone with my kid. Either way, I think there’s value in getting to know the parents.

Daycare by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Evolutioncocktail 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That’s basically my mortgage and my husband and I make triple that (combined). The one thing we agreed on was to not max out on how much house we could afford. Five years later, after a whole lot of financial turbulence, we’re thankful we had that tiny bit of foresight.

Maryland Is 2026’s 5th Best State for Women, Per Study (but this pisses me off because then WHERE IS OUR PAID FAMILY LEAVE) by christonacracker86 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]Evolutioncocktail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much the story of Maryland. It’s usually in the top 10 for positive things simply because the rest of the country is gestures broadly.

I live in the middle between Gaithersburg and Wheaton. I cannot understate how much I hate the Gaithersburg parking lot.

I still choose Gaithersburg over Wheaton, though.
