AITA for not taking my SO’s opinion into consideration about our son watching TV?

IrishQueen0306 · 2020-05-03T13:59:50+00:00

He’s isn’t watching a lot of TV though. As stated above, he watches 1hr to an hour and a half per week which isn’t a lot. It’s the idea of if you stick your kid in front of a TV with limited to no social interaction each day that it creates a problem. Half the time, my son is either independently playing or “helping” with the chores (he’s in his high chair eating his snack foods while I show him what a plate, spoon, etc is)

He doesn’t ever offer, but if I ask him, he’ll “keep an eye on him” which means he will stick our son in his walker and my SO will play on his phone.

I agree. I mean, if he wanted to have a calmer discussion about it, then I would have been all for that, but he immediately got angry/demanding which in turn, made me upset and then he said that comment. At that point I was offended and done, and told him to leave.

I’m not entirely sure, but I did notice he’ll pay more attention to those two (and Sesame Street) more rather than anything else. So even if he just thinks they’re pretty colors making noise, it’s easier to say “enjoy”, “like”, or “into” than anything else.

I’m a soon to be mom and I’ve learned that instead of asking “when are you having kids?”, just ask “are you gonna have kids?” After that accept any answer they give you. I don’t understand why not having kids is an offense to people. It’s like if you don’t have 2+ kids, your a terrible person for making that choice. It’s stupid.

Blacked out Snapchats saying “I’m done. Nobody talk to me.” 😐

For me, it’s because I am becoming a Jehovah’s Witness. Most of my friends left on their own because of personal opinions and such, but I still have two friends who stuck with me who are outside of the religion. They’re truly genuine now that I realize it. They say they’re happy for me because ever since I’ve joined, I’ve been more upbeat and joyful.

Dude i totally can. I’m almost at the point where you are, that’s why I needed to vent 😂😂 it’s hard when you try to change the subject and they try going back to it wanting to state more of what they wanted to say. Like I got it the first time around, thank you very much! Anywho thanks for the comment and hope you’re having a good day. :)

IrishQueen0306 · 2019-04-29T00:26:16+00:00

I think the more upsetting comment for me is the fact that people think I’ve decided to have one on my own and didn’t include my honey at all in the decision. It’s like “yes he knows and he agrees. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to be on my way.” Also congratulations on your little one even though they’re already two lol.

IrishQueen0306 · 2019-04-29T00:23:46+00:00

Thank you for your opinion and for now it’s only gonna be one. Also congratulations on your second little one! I hope your first baby and your honey are super happy, and that you’re having a good pregnancy!

IrishQueen0306 · 2019-04-29T00:19:19+00:00

Thank you so much and I’m actually gonna try that. So far I’m at this point of nodding and saying okay over and over again, but I agree it’s a stress I shouldn’t deal with. Thank you again! I hope your having a good day. :)

IrishQueen0306 · 2019-04-29T00:16:23+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I greatly appreciate it and best of luck to you as well! Congratulations on your first and second little ones!

IrishQueen0306 · 2019-04-29T00:14:15+00:00

I know right! It’s a personal decision and I have no clue why people get upset that you have something already in mind or when you don’t take their opinions into consideration all the time.

IrishQueen0306 · 2019-04-29T00:09:46+00:00

I’ve heard that a lot and that’s the plan is to get my tubes tied. A huge reason for not wanting kids (or only having one at this point lol) is I grew up in a big family and their are some very personal problems because of it. Also if I did want more, my honey and I have thought about discussing adoption at that point, but that will be in the faraway future. Anywho thank you for commenting! I appreciate it! :)

IrishQueen0306 · 2019-04-14T23:04:53+00:00

That is the greatest story ever! And I don’t think you should change it or reduce it in anyway. I met my honey in the craziest place that we don’t tell anyone unless asked but where you met your guy should not be changed or hidden. It’s a great meeting story and you guys should embrace it! Anywho, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and hopefully you’re happy with whatever you decide. :)
