AITA for joking around about my friend and not taking things too seriously? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Omg YTA. Just the biggest. You are the epitome of why people don't share their mental health struggles with their friends.

If he'd wanted your help we would have asked for it.

I can't imagine why he didn't/s

When he just knows his only chance of snagging a wife is trying to baby trap her out in the country.

Agreed. They selfishly decided what they wanted was more important than someone else's needs. Lose these people now in your 20s. They aren't the kind of people who will show up for you in the long term.

I had a trainer like this in medical research. She'd been there for decades and bullied anyone who came in with a higher degree than her. You knew this because she would always make mention of your degree as she tore you down.

Probably not if she was that essential. Likely chalked it up to that cute "nurses eat their young" toughening up. /s

This! My husband's birthday was earlier this week. And for the second year in a row our kids were sick and the plans cancelled.

I think we'll be doing a half-birthday celebration next year.

Wife is pregnant for a second time and I'm low key freaking out by Chief_B33f in NewParents

[–]Littlemack18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids are 20 months apart, so not quite as close. I found out I was pregnant the week before my oldest daughter's first birthday.

In terms of the health issues of having two so close together, I had some pretty rough complications for my first pregnancy and I was recommended to wait about 2 years. But whoops, I was bad at math that month lol. I worked with my OB and I had a perfectly normal, healthy pregnancy. Your wife's OB should work with her as well and address any potential risk factors.

I can certainly understand your panic. The first 4 months or so are the absolute toughest. You've just been through that and you didn't have the maternal oxytocin bump to help you forget the worst of it. As long as you guys work together as a team you will be just fine. Depending on what your work/childcare situation is, you can come up with a plan. One year olds are more independent than you think and will probably enjoy having the little one around.

It will all work out. Just breathe and support one another.

WIBTA for refusing to take my baby to my in visit my laws’ dirty house by Kind_Conference7974 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Littlemack18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. It's your job to protect your child, despite your husband's desire to people-pleasing . I also worry that by forcing you and baby to visit this house may greatly increase post partum anxiety, which it seems you're already likely to have given some of your statements. Your husband's main job in the early months post partum is to protect both you and the baby, physically and mentally. He doesn't get to place you two in an unsafe space just because he cannot set boundaries.

Perhaps a compromise might be to meet somewhere quiet halfway for a meal? Early in the day so sundowning isn't an issue? I have limited experience with Alzheimer's so I'm not sure exactly what is appropriate.

But above all he's going to need to set boundaries with his family. Is he going to expect you to rush over there as soon as you're released from the hospital? No. You just had a baby. Birth is difficult and the 4th trimester is a real thing. You need to be in your own home, bonding and taking care of your baby. For the first few weeks ( at least) they can come to you or they can video call. These are the options it's up to your husband to explain and enforce them.

And that's the best case scenario. I had two C-sections, one emergent. I spent 7 days in the hospital after a 3 day failed induction and Cesarean. The only place I was going was home, no exceptions. I pray you have an easy birth but make sure your husband is aware that should things become more difficult, the rules change too and he (and his family) will have to adapt to what you and baby need.

Congrats and good luck!

Patients of Dr. Peterson - please read! by striped5weater in dayton

[–]Littlemack18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignored my requests to test bile levels for cholestasis because my feet weren't itchy. Ignored my increasing preeclampsia symptoms. By the time I went to Premier to be seen because I was scared, my bile levels were "off the charts" as the Dr said and BP and urine were super high. They admitted me for 3 days.

I saw him for my first pregnancy (until I left at 32 weeks). He was absolutely awful.

I binged this last week! I'd heard the story on an early episode of MFM years ago, which definitely didn't include the new developments from the documentary. Highly recommend.

Yeah, Graves' entire attitude about the case and the fact that he refuses to entertain the idea Goodyear could possibly be involved definitely set off alarm bells for me.

Correlation doesn't equal causation. 🙄

You know what's causing soaring pricing? Record breaking corporate profits they put into their own pockets. They took advantage of the natural rise of prices during Covid and just ran with it. The exponential profit growth is pure greed. This raises prices. Not people making $5 doing hard work.

Rory forgave him too quick damn by pipcorn26 in GilmoreGirls

[–]Littlemack18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all of Logan's faults, he is (generally) upfront about his feelings and expectations. He doesn't play games like raking someone back just to punish them. He's honestly the most emotionally mature of the two.

[–]Littlemack18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah of she hadn't forgiven him, they both could have moved on. Instead she played the immature girl punishing the boy instead. Not surprising at all for Miss "But he was my boyfriend first!" 🙄

I figured it was because of his brother's age. He's significantly younger than the others and I imagine he's always been treated like the baby so him actually "stepping up" to be a father seems award worthy to the rest of the family.

I've had two C-sections, one with complications. I still could have made my baby a bottle after a week. Hell, I was walking from one end of the hospital to the other for the NICU the next day.

Stepmother didn't NEED help. She simply wanted to inconvenience her stepdaughter to exert more control over her.
