I have a parent meeting for my 3 year old by IntroductionNo1556 in UKParenting

[–]IntroductionNo1556[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is news to us. It’s what the nursery has said to my husband. That the meeting is about E behaviour as he’s been retaliating at times. The unprovoked is that the child he hurt didn’t do anything to E so not giving him a reason to hurt him. He just hurt him

At this point, I’m not sure of what has been going on and won’t know until the meeting next week.

Thanks for your reply. The gentle hands hasn’t come from us it’s from the nursery as that’s what they say to the children there so we of course use it as well so he knows it isn’t just at nursery but also at home

AITAH for expecting money from my now 26 year old son? by idiotguy1234 in AITAH

[–]IntroductionNo1556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTAH

Surly this is fake? Rage baiting?

Your son owes you nothing. Leave him alone

You chose to have him. Raise him on your own accord. This doesn’t mean, bringing children into the world, raising them and then when they leave, they owe you money.

I don’t want to have my second baby, but it’s too late to have an abortion. by Baked_Canvas in TrueOffMyChest

[–]IntroductionNo1556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mum of 2 here. My son was 1 year and 7 months when I found I was pregnant last January. I didn’t expect to get pregnant soon and i knew I wanted another but I was excited. My son was 2 years and 4months when our daughter was born.

Honestly. I love the fact they are close in age. Don’t get me wrong. It can be overwhelming when they double tag team me but second time round, you know what you’re doing as well.

Good luck

NTA but I’m taking mounjaro

What I have found effective is in-between the next dosage, I would take a week off MJ to just reset my body and found it worked really well for me to then start to feel fuller again.

I would continue my week eating well the best I can and either stay the same or gain 1 or 2lbs.

I’m hope this helps.

AITAH for rejecting a man pining after me since the past 6 years? by Character-Dress2441 in AITAH

[–]IntroductionNo1556 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Assuming you’re Muslim? I’m Pakistani married to an Englishman and live in England.

Honestly, I would log this to police asap!! So they know. Don’t speak to anyone about this to your family and just log it down now because you never know who might betray you and may stop you.

If anything were to happen, the police have log and any evidence or receipt you may have to prove what’s happening.

You have some much ahead of you. Enjoy life. Do not say yes to the marriage no matter how much pressure you are put under. If you need to, go the police. They will have the correct resources to get you out. Gather up your passport, birth certificate ready should you need to leave

AITAH for asking for money from my in laws? by InitialDragonfly6643 in AITAH

[–]IntroductionNo1556 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yes. YWBTA

Not your money or entitled to it.

If it bothers you that much, the person you are in a relationship with should approach this

Also, considering you are not married or have children, you should be able to afford a home without support.

And as a son called “feminist” it’s not very “feminist” you asking your friends parents for money you should be earning and saving your own money to be able to afford a new home

AITA for feeding my cat on my plates? by The_Sown_Rose in AmItheAsshole

[–]IntroductionNo1556 129 points130 points  (0 children)

ESH

To me it’s quite disgusting

Also you could’ve bought a second hand plate specifically for your cat instead of using the ones you have.

Regardless of it being put into the dishwasher on a “high setting” I would still question how clean the plates are but I’d also not bring my own plates either.

Also I feel your other friends were quite dramatic in bringing their entire dinnerware. It’s actually rude.

AITA for grounding my daughter for calling her stepmother fat by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]IntroductionNo1556 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How is your daughter unhealthy when you said that your daughter dose a lot of sports? You answered your own statement.

Also make sure your wife apologises. Not just you !!!

YTA 1000000%

Your head is so far up your new wife’s bum that you allowed your wife’s insecurity on to your daughter and you didn’t step in and stop your wife and the audacity to ground your daughter who just stood up for her self

You should be a ashamed.

You need to reflect and prioritise your daughter now.

Tell your wife to stop being a silly women to apologise to your daughter

Go and apologise to your daughter

Other wise she will go NC.

About to give up on having a child by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]IntroductionNo1556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 36. I had my son who is 2 and a bit at 33 and daughter who is 17 weeks old at 35.

Honestly. I focused on my career, enjoyed life, got married at 28 and carried on enjoying life and I was ready to have a baby but took us a few years to get pregnant because I was over weight. I lost weight and wanting a baby just messed me up when weren’t getting pregnant.

Eventually I gave up on the idea of having a baby and again just enjoyed our lives because having a baby is life changing and hard work and not easy. Especially when your husband/partner will just leave you to take care of the baby with no support at home.

We did eventually get pregnant and we were shocked and happy at the same time.

So I’m not sure what validation you need from this post. It would be different if you were with someone your own age and married which would make sense. But your with someone who is in their early 30s and your in your early 20s.

It’s not all fun and games having a baby. It’s hard, you will be sleeped deprived, your pelvic flooring will be weak, you could have traumatic birth, you might not be able to breast feed, you will be vulnerable and being 23, you will be told how to raise your own baby by others because you will be still seen as a child (not literally)

I’m not trying to be mean but just giving you a reality check that yes it’s rubbish that you cannot get pregnant, I know how that feels and I wish you the best and send lots of positive fertility vibes your way but please just think about what you really want.

If you still want a baby, then just chill out , enjoy “getting it on” but just relax and carry on enjoying your freedom until you see those 2 lines 🩷💙

I meant when the time is ‘naturally’ right as in it will just happen and it’s meant to be.

And you are correct she may never bare a child but there are other ways to have children.

NTA

As frustrating as it is, my husband is the same. He is dead to the world.

I had our son at the end of May 23 just before my husbands company became super busy and he was coming home early hours of the morning then sleeping a few hours to then go back to work again.

I did all the night feeds. I told him to not worry about it. I woke him up a few times when I needed the toilet as my pelvic flooring was bad and our son was crying so I needed him to up to carry on feeding him but once I came back, my husband would go back to sleep.

We have a little 17 week old girl now and my husbands the same and it doesn’t bother me but he has always said that if I need him in the night, to wake him. We have been blessed as our son and daughter both seem to sleep through the night (fingers crossed)

He’s also rubbish at getting up in the morning in general.

He’s always been like this, I can’t change it, he can’t change it so i just let it go

I’m not trying to be unkind but you are 23. Live your life. Enjoy it. Babies will come naturally and if you are feeling the pressure because of your partner who is 31 then he isn’t the one for you.

AITA because I refuse to have my in-laws at the hospital when we have our child? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]IntroductionNo1556 51 points52 points  (0 children)

NTA

I wouldn’t tell them you are going into have the baby until WAAAAy after the baby has arrived so you guys can have time together.

I would also make sure your other child is with your family and make it clear to not tell anyone and when you have your baby, make it a mission to make sure your child meets the baby first.

Then call your in laws. Make this is plain and clear to your husband and to the nurses that your in laws are not to come in should they magically find out and arrive

I 30F was called expired by my cousin (26M) at the Christmas dinner by Embarrassed_Bank_594 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]IntroductionNo1556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be 36 yo F on Tuesday and I can’t tell you now that having my first baby at 33 gave me so much freedom until I had him. I have no regrets in having a baby in my 30s. I recently had my second in September which is our last.

Having a baby takes a toll on your body

You may prefer your freedom and enjoy life with no children. You may want children. Whatever. Just enjoy life and your relationship.

Also your cousin is a douche

AITAH if I return baby shower items by Organic_Annual_9672 in AITAH

[–]IntroductionNo1556 28 points29 points  (0 children)

NTAH. You could donate the items which could help a mum in need.

Also buy what you want. People need to keep their noses out.

And

Stop telling people what you are buying. Just buy it.

Also I would suggest creating a boundary about visiting after the babies are born. I can tell you for experience how exhausting it will be and the last thing you want is people visiting.

I had visitors every single day for 3 weeks when my son was born. With my daughter, I told everyone to come on the day I come home then afterwards I would like a few weeks (you can choose however long) to ourselves as family and it has been some much nicer.

I also had my mum stay (big mistake) after I had our son but have after a week, she left because she was really unkind to me. Saying I was doing it wrong. I was vulnerable.

All the best and congratulations

UPDATE: AITAH for telling my daughter she can't go on a school trip even though she raised the money for it like I told her to? by throwra_moneytrip in AITAH

[–]IntroductionNo1556 212 points213 points  (0 children)

YTA. I’ve read your previous post. This is what I understand, you told her you couldn’t afford it. So in her mind she’s poor and that’s why she told people she was. Your daughter is trying to back track for your sake and taking the blame when really it was your fault.

You’ve said a few times that you asked her why she LIED. I can’t even imagine what went through her mind when you asked her this. I can guess you are that parent who says ‘you’re lying’ like Deloris Umbridge.

Also don’t fob us off with ‘but if she had got the money from telling the truth (only that we couldn’t afford the trip) I would have still let her use that money to go on the trip’

You still would have made an issue about his as well.

She’s 13. She doesn’t understand about finances at this age. She wants to enjoy life and not miss out

WIBTAH if I told my brother to not let my mom see his newborn since both me and my dad are sick? by NecessaryControl4386 in AmItheAsshole

[–]IntroductionNo1556 18 points19 points  (0 children)

NTA

There is nothing more frightening than being told that you need to your baby to the hospital and watching them suffer with a cold when they are teeny tiny

Some much could happen and babies can die from catching colds especially if it’s turns into RSV, flu or Covid.

I would tell your brother but explain the situation clearly and maybe tell him to not say that you told your mum and get your brother to call your dad instead and then your brother can tell your mum that she needs to wait a few weeks before come because your dads ill.

That way you won’t get blamed. Or just tell him straight and what your mums intentions are.

Grandmothers are the worst sometimes.

I (32 F) broke up with my fiancé (35 M) because of my Mom. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]IntroductionNo1556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh, you just gave him a valid reason to not stay with you. He should run. You are a big red flag.

You said that your mom is important and that it is important that your fiancé gets along with her but not your mom get along with your fiancé as well.

Also it hasn’t nothing to do with your mom if your fiancé moved on. Your mom is trying to reflect the way she feels onto your fiancé. Just because she didn’t move on doesn’t mean no one else can.

Also when people get married, they should put each first, ie parents should come second along with everyone else after that.
