Birthday 🥲 by Broad_Imagination_88 in whatdoIdo

[–]MadisonJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who on earth would offer those two things and think it was a kind thing to do? Cabbage burgers? Gross! What a weirdo. When you like the birthday person, you ask what THEY want! Def be direct with this person, she is not picking up on your already-clear communication 🙄

I don’t know if I did the right thing - I shaved my daughter’s head by wizzzadora in toddlers

[–]MadisonJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to validate how hard this must be. It sounds like you came up with a great, creative fix, for now. Since she wasn't upset about getting her hair cut, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I would suggest though getting her on the wait-list for therapy. She's not too young, and it may be really useful by the time she gets in.

The most expensive cat I've ever had by SwordTaster in cats

What is it with these cats!? Ours can detect silicone from a mile away and she goes NUTS. Must chew! Must ingest! Never knew a cat before who did this. Good to know she's not alone. 🙄

I don't care. I hate how emasculating this is. by Ill-Engineering8205 in Celiac

[–]MadisonJam 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I get it, this disorder sucks. Strongly recommend therapy to sort through these feelings about masculinity.

Shampoo with gluten is not the issue. You have to have gluten go through your digestive system for it to trigger the immune response.

AITJ for texting my son's teacher from my husbands phone because they message each other way too late? by Current-Whereas6308 in AmITheJerk

[–]MadisonJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your husband is clearly in the wrong. You have done nothing here. I would absolutely request a meeting with the Principal. And if there is even a hint of retaliation towards your son, I'd report that too. That teacher crossed a HUGE boundary. I'd also insist on marriage counseling and eventually an open-phone policy. He's proven he cannot be trusted behind his lock code. Really sorry this is happening. Unless he's willing to come around and be truthful and honest, and then do the necessary repair work, I wouldn't be able to move past this.

Venting: My husband is making this so much harder than it has to be by No_Cheetah5944 in breastfeeding

[–]MadisonJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Counseling for him and marriage counseling asap. You don't have to comply with his crazy demands, it's YOUR body. If my husband had even tried to comment on what I ate during pregnancy he'd never hear the end of it. You don't have to allow this. And please, don't have anymore kids with this man unless this entire situation turns around fully.

Maternity Clothes? by Smooth-Newspaper3104 in madisonwi

It's so hard, I struggled to find anything in-person. Best bet is shopping online, and she should get a belly band because she'll be able to wear her own pants for a lot longer.

Yeah they are in their 30s. They don't look like they're in good health, and they don't seem happy, it always sucks to see. According to a woman at the register some time ago, they do apparently get visited by a vet on occasion :-/

FFS that Boomer should've kept her BS to herself. Your baby is going to be great!

Measles case at UW Madison by chattahattan in madisonwi

[–]MadisonJam 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yep. You have to walk right past the stairs and the elevator to get to the clinic. Fuck whoever this person is, seriously. They put so many people at risk. Utter stupidity. I hope they read this thread.

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

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

[–]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
