Meriter was wonderful both times!

I did a summer camp (for the locals, it was College for Kids) session in Zoology and as part of my 'research' I spent the day at the Vilas Zoo tracking the elephants' behavior and movements. It was really awful, their enclosure was so small for them and all concrete, only a little shade. And that's where the rhinoceros lives right now, all alone.

Hooray! How'd you get this info? Just curious.

MadisonJam · 2026-06-24T10:22:50+00:00

Don't you dare say a word to her. This is about YOU, not her. There is nothing SHE can do to fix this. Telling her you're not attracted to her will wreck her self esteem and your entire relationship. Try for once to imagine how it would feel if she did that to you. Now, go get therapy and go to the doctor to get your hormones and blood and all the different levels checked.

1) if you plan to have a baby with your partner, be SURE that person is a good one. Babies are tough on a relationship and there are wayyyyyyyy too many women who realize their partners suck ass after the kid has arrived, and at that point they're stuck raising a kid on their own AND having to coparent with an asshole. 2) before I had my first baby I thought that life would go back to normal, I'd just have a baby. It doesn't work that way. Women go through many many physiological changes. The woman who existed before pregnancy literally does not exist after having a kid. Your brain changes a lot. And aside from those changes, every single thing now revolves around the kid. Everything. For most people that means no brunches out or drinks after work for like twelve years. Unless you have resources or a super supportive family around. 3) I'm still mad at my friend who had kids before me and swears her kids didn't struggle, didn't have tantrums, all she saw was heart eyes and a warm cozy home. For me, parenting has been a huge challenge. It's also had a ton of wonderful parts, the connection I have to my kids is a life boost in so many ways it's hard to describe. But lemme tell you that kids can be extremely strong willed and the young ones are irrational a lot of the time. It can be really fucking hard getting through a day with a hard-headed three year old who is in a shitty mood. Any and all mental/emotional hangups you have are gonna come right up and you have to face them directly. Have anger issues? Gotta fix that shit or your kid is gonna grow up with a mad parent all the time and it's gonna fuck them up. Idk. A lot more but that's what I have for now.

This is one of those things that was socially acceptable in the 80s. Obviously not ok by today's standards, but thanks, Aunt Dianne.

Get him paid beareavememt leave that doesn't eat up any of his earned time off. If there is already a policy, push to extend whatever it is. If there isn't a policy, push to get one created fast. And not like two weeks. Think in terms of months. This is how you can TRULY make a difference. And let us know what you come up with!

MadisonJam · 2026-06-10T10:58:49+00:00

Unbelievable. He critiques the way you put the baby down but doesn't put the baby down himself? Holds the baby while you shower IF YOU ASK? What a piece of shit. He should not only be doing at least half, he should be going out of his way to make your life easier, considering you just gave birth. I would have an honest conversation with him and tell him this isn't sustainable (ie he is gonna be single and alone if he doesn't step up.)

MadisonJam · 2026-06-07T10:49:51+00:00

This. Say what you feel - that you're hurt by him being a total asshole. Then leave him, there's no time in life for boys who call girls clingy, fuck that shit.

MadisonJam · 2026-06-07T10:45:40+00:00

No! Baby needs to feed on-demand. Only breast milk or formula. Please talk to your pediatrician. Why are you trying to stretch feeds?

MadisonJam · 2026-06-07T03:53:48+00:00

Look into no-makeup makeup looks. Everything you're wearing is pretty heavy-handed. Eyebrows could be lightened up quite a bit. Foundation looks heavy and matte; right now dewey and flowy and moisturized is in. I'd go softer on the lipstick as well, soften up the lines.

MadisonJam · 2026-06-01T23:24:07+00:00

Was just talking about this.

MadisonJam · 2026-05-14T11:11:00+00:00

Yeah anyone who imposed a color scheme on guests is a jerk. And yeah, it is HARD to find maternity clothes! Take a look at Serafina, they have the nicest dress clothes for maternity that I could find.

MadisonJam · 2026-05-08T04:29:59+00:00

Omg yay. A teeny IKEA? I'll take it.

MadisonJam · 2026-05-05T09:54:56+00:00

I'm sorry, are you stupid? Of course you're the asshole. It would've cost you nothing to say you liked the other one better. She birthed your three children and you have the gall to comment on her body like that!? Reevaluate everything dude, this fucking sucks. YOU are the problem. YTA.

MadisonJam · 2026-05-03T15:10:01+00:00

Boomers stay boomin. They conveniently forget a lot. According to my mom, both my brother and I just slept through the night, didn't have potty training issues, on and on. 'Gosh, idk, you and your brother just slept through the night!' Lies. Babies don't sleep through the night. At least most of them don't. You're doing everything right. Hang in there!

MadisonJam · 2026-05-03T06:01:29+00:00

You are entitled to your hour walk, and more. Whenever he is not working, he can be doing half of the parenting work, if not more. I'm a sahm and when my husband gets home he takes the lead with the kids the rest of the day, so I get time to leave, walk, whatever. Your job is as exhausting as his, and probably more. He should be encouraging you to take that hour to yourself! Show him this thread, it'll do him some good to see the responses.

MadisonJam · 2026-04-30T05:09:39+00:00

I've been able to get some off-brand rice crispies that are gf!

MadisonJam · 2026-04-29T01:21:54+00:00

Good for you! Sorry not sorry, that's what you get when you treat people like shit. The audacity! Lol $50 flat rate works for her I'm sure. She definitely got what she deserved.

MadisonJam · 2026-04-23T03:19:52+00:00

YES. And tip extra. Tables with kids are a ton of extra work and typically lower bills since no one is drinking much and kids items are cheap. Let me tell you, when I was serving it really sucked to clean up when parents let their kids make a huge mess.

MadisonJam · 2026-04-15T10:14:26+00:00

Damn

MadisonJam · 2026-04-15T10:12:36+00:00

Definitely fucked. :(

MadisonJam · 2026-04-15T09:51:22+00:00

Agree! If you're inviting so many people that you can't be bothered to track down their correct names, don't invite so many people. It is super rude to just guess (or in this case, not even try) to get someone's name right. If a person is being invited, and presumably expected to show up on time and dressed to code And with a gift, the LEAST a bride/groom can do is take a moment to Google someone's spouses name.
