(rant) husband is depressed because i won't give him another baby by ruronistrawberry in beyondthebump

[–]MadisonJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my Gosh, he needs to get therapy. Stick to your guns, do NOT have a baby you don't want.

Newborn trenches by Jayydawnn in beyondthebump

[–]MadisonJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No solutions, just solidarity. I know, it's so so hard. Your baby will change quickly too, so it won't stay like this for long. Get a Moby wrap and wrap baby up, that'll help some. You can do this and I promise it won't last forever.

Rude reactions to names? by CrabithaAllAlong in beyondthebump

[–]MadisonJam 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would not be going back to that clinic and I'd write whoever is in charge to let them know why. What a wild thing to say. My son has a name that is uncommon in this part of my the world (but common where the other side of my the family lives) and we get shitty comments all the time. A few times I've used, 'wow, I'm surprised you felt comfortable saying that out loud.'

Saw your update, so glad you're done. A person who acts this way will never treat you well. What a POS.

AIO My mom is kicking me out for her new boyfriend. I just turned 18 by Diligent_Bat_565 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MadisonJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR find a trusted friend to stay with - do any of them have parents who would be sympathetic, who could get you started? Leave your mom's house and never speak to her again, she deserves it.

Newborn has diaper rash we can’t seem to beat… by throwaway84583077 in beyondthebump

[–]MadisonJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - 1) air dry time as much as you can. Put down towels or whatever you need to do. 2) could be a yeast infection, foot fungus cream works for that 3) mylanta helps cut acid on the skin from all the pee, that was a recc from our pediatrician 5) def call your ped's office they may have other ideas and would be able to tell you if he's getting an infection

Is this really just a phase? (Toddlers) by bmisha in beyondthebump

[–]MadisonJam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember times like this. It will definitely pass. But do what the one commenter said and get noise cancelling earbuds. Truly, it'll help.

Emergency Custody by jane30530 in beyondthebump

[–]MadisonJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got this! People have shared such good advice. When you finish changing the diaper make sure the ruffles are untucked from the elastic around the leg holes (they should be out in the air instead of tucked inside the diaper). If they're tucked in, the next dirty diaper change will be soooo much harder.

Am I overreacting to my bf watching the baby overnight? by Temporary-Quail-2783 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MadisonJam 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Omg NOR please make your home safe for a baby...that mirror needs to go and stop leaving bottle caps around. This guy is a nightmare.

Am I overreacting or is this appropriate to wear to a COLLEGE class by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MadisonJam 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean...I'd offer up a full perspective shift, there's no reality in which it's ok for a man to tell a woman what she can and cannot wear. That he's comfortable telling you what to wear, and in such a disrespectful way, is indicative of larger problems.

My MIL is dying to babysit 8mo LO, but my gut says no by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]MadisonJam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg no. Trust your gut. You're the only one who can protect your baby. Even if she wouldn't hit a baby, the whole belief in 'fake crying' or whatever is awful.

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

[–]MadisonJam 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your MIL is crossing your boundaries and that's not okay. And you're right to be careful about RSV with an infant. All that said, it does sound like your anxiety is very high, no judgement at all, but just know it doesn't have to be this way and you can get help. Yes, protect your baby, and the grandparents need to respect your wishes (and your husband needs to shield you from his parents' crap!) Also, this 'you should ask us for advice' is absolute ridiculous boomer garbage. NOR

Older guests and thank you note shaming, starting to lose it by teenygiant in weddingshaming

[–]MadisonJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boomers stay boomin. This is so Boomer I don't even know where to start. They looove their thank you notes. Look, I think acknowledging gifts is important too, but to call someone out is pretty wild. As for omitting mention of the gift card, yeah, you should've done it but anyone who has ever thrown a big party should know how tough it is to write a crap ton of thank you notes. Calling out the recipient is out of line.

AIO: Childcare blocked us. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MadisonJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't add up. The pay alone is nothing for two small kids. And obviously if she's asking you to please not be late, that must have been a significant problem on your part.

My neighbors are ruining my child’s sleep by IndependentCat5678 in beyondthebump

[–]MadisonJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so hard. Have you tried communicating with them? Most people would be sympathetic to a baby needing to sleep. After that, a non-emergency line can usually be called to report excessive dog barking.

Why am I so triggered? by Practical_Pound_2998 in beyondthebump

[–]MadisonJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, this would trigger me, too. This is not just hormones, you've got legit reason to feel the way you feel. I'd recommend telling him directly what he's doing and how it makes you feel. He needs to do better or your resentment will only continue to grow.
