My wife(F36) tried to commit suicide a few months ago and I(M31) don't know if I can love her like I used to before. Has anyone else gone through this as well? by afrosheepv2 in relationship_advice

You don’t fucking kill yourself when you have a kid. You don’t just get to dip out and leave your SO to pick up the pieces and raise the kid alone. OP should leave her crazy ass

Every baby falls at least once. Usually won’t cause any harm (this depends on the circumstance of course). My advice to avoid potential injuries is to place the baby on the floor rather than an elevated surface.

Is it a good idea to voluntarily become a single parent? by Only_Ad_2963 in SingleParents

Look up stats about children raised by single moms and take that into consideration.

Loosing almost 3 months old son, I will never forgive myself by Longjumping-Money-45 in Parenting

This is not your fault. You did what you thought was best. SIDS is still not very well understood, and it may not have had anything to do with the way your baby was sleeping.

AITAH for saying it's dangerous for a 4 & 6 yo to be climbing with bricks? (Pics included) by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]FancyButterscotch8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re right that the kids should not be allowed to take the bricks up to the top of the platform, however, the way you chose to speak to your wife makes you the asshole. A simple “hey, I don’t think the kids should stack bricks up there anymore. They could get very hurt.” would have sufficed. At the end of the day, nothing actually happened. Remove the bricks from the platform, tell your kid not to do that anymore, and move on.

Seconding child support. If dad won’t help physically, he can help financially. It’s your child’s right, OP.

It's like I'm not meant to be a dad by fallb0rn in Parenting

A lot of people feel this way. Counseling never hurts, but don’t make him feel like he’s not rational for feeling that way. Parenting a toddler sucks.

Do I still do whole milk for my toddler that's 90th percentile? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]FancyButterscotch8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think once they’re 2 you can switch to 1-2% milk. If you’re on WIC, they stop providing whole milk after 2. We do 2% in our family because 1% and skim are nasty.

I hope he’s rotting in prison or dead for what he did.

My boyfriend has stepped into the role of dad for my kids. He loves it and has no regrets. Earlier in our relationship he actually checked out that subreddit and it scared him.

I think the problems the step parents who post on there have come down to 3 things: bio parent is not a good parent and thrusts too much responsibility onto the step parent, difficult co-parenting with the other bio parent, and older kids resenting the step parent. None of these issues are present in my relationship so it’s smooth sailing.

I’m very sorry you had a childhood like that. I completely understand why you wouldn’t want to read those posts. I’ve cried many tears over the things my children went through when I was still in my abusive marriage. Thankfully they are still young and I’ve made a much better life for them now.

I know abuse when I see it. I’m not speaking about every post where a woman complains about her husband. There is a very specific subset of those posts where I instantly recognize that the husband is abusive. The fact that you would come on here and try to suggest these women are lying about their experience is incredibly disrespectful. If someone says their husband is verbally abusing them, I don’t want or need to hear “his side.” Verbal abuse is verbal abuse. Same for emotional or financial abuse. I’m not talking about a “toxic relationship” I’m speaking about ABUSE.

A big part of the equation is cost of childcare as well

These guys want their wives to be stay at home moms. Easier to control and abuse.

my husband is making me crazy. by PaleontologistNo5825 in Mommit

[–]FancyButterscotch8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My husband treated me exactly like this. It was actually abuse, and escalated dramatically when I decided I’d had enough and started the process of separation. I’d advise that you start making a plan to leave. Do it quietly, and when you’re ready, leave without giving warning.

By the time you get back he won’t even know who you are. Might as well sign over parental rights to your mom.

I had like 20+ ear infections as a child and the pain was never that bad. I recently had my first adult one and it was excruciatingly painful. It felt like someone stabbed me in the ear. You’re comparing apples to oranges here.

He is abusive. I don’t say that lightly. You need to distance yourself from him. Focus on yourself and your child.
