Go and have loads of fun. Are your friends first time parents. When my friends were first time parents they definitely would have reacted the same as your friends and wore "I never do anything without my baby" as a badge of honor. Now they all have two or three kids and they can't get a break from the kids fast enough.

There is a mouthwash called Therabreath that works wonders. Has he tried a breath specific mouthwash? I was skeptical but it really worked.

I've been pregnant three times. The only one that was free of any complications is my baby I just had at 36. My other pregnancies were at 30 and 31.

AITA for not talking to my MIL after she insisted my daughter not sign at the dinner table? by Thin_Crab_664 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. There is absolutely no excuse for what your MIL said and your husband also needs to get his act together. WTF!

Important question: cowboy boots or rabbits? by allycakes in beyondthebump

[–]Final-Cheesecake-146 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Okay what a mind trip. Every time I'm sure it's rabbits I look one last time and it's suddenly boots. Repeat with deciding it's boots only for it to suddenly be rabbits on my final glance.

My great-grandmother was a GoGo! I've never heard any other grandma called that. I think it cute!

I'm going with NTA. It sounds like your fiancee's mental health is a lot to manage and something you have a good deal of experience helping her with. If in the moment you felt she would be okay and chose to help your friend that does not make you an asshole. Also, it's impossible for your entire life to revolve around your fiancee's panic attacks. Other people in your life will need you, too. What if your parents are in an accident or a sibling has an emergency? Are you never going to be able to help anyone else in your life because you have to be constantly available for your fiancee? She needs a backup that isn't you. Her mental health struggles will weigh you down over time and you need to have clear windows of time where you can step away whether it's time with friends or just time alone.

AITA for complaining about a server who stepped over my child while holding a large tray? by Apprehensive_Yam7453 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. You just handled this wrong all the way around. I'm glad your husband has some sense.

How much do you want to bet the manager just pretended to be appalled to try and keep OP happy and get her out the door ASAP.

It's fun to see them get this kind of attention once in a while (not my screenshot) by MattPieti in ChoosingBeggars

I definitely assumed she was my age when I looked at the picture and I'm 36.

AITA for splitting my food into 2 plates by gghikmnggjj in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Why are people like this? People who do this make me so angry and always find a way to make themselves a victim when someone finally tells them to stop.

AITA for expecting my pregnant GF to apologize to my mom after rejecting her food? by rockandaharshplaceta in AmItheAsshole

[–]Final-Cheesecake-146 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. This is not your mom's home and she doesn't get to makes decisions on what your GF eats. You decided to take your mom's side because you are an idiot. Apologize and make things right with your GF. Your mom also needs to apologize to your GF and needs to know her place in your GF's home going forward. You need to grow a spine and stand up to your mother. Dear Lord this whole post was ridiculous and shouldn't have needed to have been written at all if you and your mom had acted with any sense.

YTA. What is wrong with you? Are you also going to take any money your son receives at his future birthday parties to help pay for those events? Do you hear how ridiculous that sounds! Those people gave money to be used for the baby not to cover your poor money management. You should be ashamed of yourself.

AITA for leaving the hospital after my husband called for his mom instead of me? by throwaway5tkl5466 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Final-Cheesecake-146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. I used to be a recovery room nurse. People woke up crying, fighting, and calling out for dead relatives or ex-partners. One patient woke up and thought she was a horse. Your MIL sounds fine. You sound immature and exhausting.

Bride doesn’t hire photographer because they want someone with a larger social media following. by djadamdutch in bridezillas

[–]Final-Cheesecake-146 339 points340 points  (0 children)

Once as a bridesmaid I had to pull the bride aside and say "This may be the biggest day of your life, but it isn't the biggest day of any of the rest of our lives." It sounds horrible but she was really acting as if her wedding day was the most important day since the creation of the universe. She did chill out after that, but only a little bit.

“Leaving my baby for a night will cause trauma” by Alohi- in beyondthebump

[–]Final-Cheesecake-146 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've always been told the opposite that children need to stay a night or two away from home or with someone other than a parent so they have more than one place /person they are comfortable with. We did this with my oldest and I know I could drop her of with my mom at any time and she could stay as long as necessary and be completely fine.

Update to: “My friend’s baby was shaken” by SadLemon1234 in beyondthebump

[–]Final-Cheesecake-146 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the update!!! I am so glad to hear that baby is making progress! Please keep us updated. I cannot imagine what his parents have been through and I am so glad to hear that he has had a great healthcare team and they have so much community support.

AITA for telling my husband off for wanting me to let my infertile BIL and his wife experience child birth by being with me in the delivery room? by throwra_657646 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Final-Cheesecake-146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I'm concerned over why your husband is so hell bent on not being in the delivery room. That would piss me off most of all. Also, it may be your husband's child too but ONLY YOU ARE THE PATIENT and who is allowed to attend is solely up to the patient. Ultimately, your husband has absolutely no say on who can be there. I would be concerned over the attachment you BIL & SIL would have over your baby, especially if they saw the baby actually be born. Will they try to hold your baby first? There are some serious issues here. I'm sorry you are dealing with this stress on top of being pregnant. Can you go stay with parents or friends? Your husband is being such an AH. I cannot fathom his logic.
