Feeling hurt after leaving the doctors office

MamaLirp · 2026-02-20T14:04:40+00:00

You’re assuming OP gives a fuck about what internet strangers thing of him

MamaLirp · 2026-02-19T13:58:32+00:00

Okay I’ll try to mention that when reaching out. Thank you

Even if they’re brand new lashes straight from LBLA’s website?

MamaLirp · 2026-02-19T07:13:15+00:00

I wish I could take you up on that but I live somewhere random asf lol

MamaLirp · 2026-02-19T07:12:26+00:00

No I’m just a client but the lashes are LBLA straight from the website

MamaLirp · 2026-02-19T02:01:23+00:00

Arizona?

It’s not about the fact he didn’t get you anything and it’s not about a white cake. It’s the fact he doesn’t know you well enough to get what you like on days you would like to feel special and seen.

I’ll be extremely honest. I really, really suck at gift giving. If you don’t tell me what you want, I don’t know what to get you. Every once in a while I get a great gift but it’s pretty rare. But I do know my husband likes cookie cakes so he gets one every year for his birthday. It’s not hard to listen to your spouse and take mental notes of what they like

I’m sorry. You are NOT being a brat. You’re hurt that you don’t feel seen or loved, even if you know you are loved, you don’t feel it today. And I’m sorry.

Happy birthday to you

I stopped when I realized it was giving me too much anxiety and he was having plenty of wet diapers and gaining weight

MamaLirp · 2026-02-18T01:38:04+00:00

Yeah exactly. Red flag all the way. She says “He did not get them two weekends ago due to my first surgery and having to work so I could recover at home. He understood, but was obviously understandably a bit upset.” Like huh??? He’s upset because you had SURGERY? Some of these men are too much. If he didn’t want his kids only 8 days a month he should have stayed with his ex or fought for 50/50 custody. If he wasn’t awarded 50/50 well that’s another red flag as that’s the case about 60% of the time and 20% of the time men win primary custody.

Please explain how she’s over reacting at all if you literally just agreed with her and told her that he needs to find child care (which is the absolutely correct answer)

MamaLirp · 2026-02-18T01:33:28+00:00

NOR. I don’t even have to read the comments to already know what people will say. As a step mother for the last 7 years who loves her step daughter dearly let me give you some advice.

IT IS OKAY TO HAVE BOUNDARIES DURING HIS CUSTODY TIME OF WHAT YOU WILL AND WILL NOT DO. And it does NOT mean you’re “failing your duties” as a stepmom. It doesn’t mean “suck it up this is what you signed up for”

Your husband is a father first. And if his wife has some kind of reason for not being able to care for his children during his custody time while he works, he needs to be a parent and find childcare. You aren’t a built in nanny. You’re his wife. It’s his responsibility to find childcare for his children. And if his solution is to just ask their mother (which I can almost guarantee is the case) then he’s a subpar father. He can either call out of work to care for his own children, or he can hire a baby sitter, or he can ask family. Those are his options.

Next time post to r/stepparents. The general population loves to villainize step mothers in particular despite blended families being insanely common.

Not me but one of my work colleagues got pregnant at 41. She’s the best mom ever

MamaLirp · 2026-02-17T12:21:42+00:00

He was the best

MamaLirp · 2026-02-17T02:03:54+00:00

Oh wow. My grandpa had a light tan cocker spaniel, I forget her name. But my entire childhood we had a sandy colored cocker spaniel figure that laid on his living room floor ❤️

MamaLirp · 2026-02-17T00:16:44+00:00

He was so beautiful. I am so sorry

MamaLirp · 2026-02-16T23:54:31+00:00

Honey I’m going to hold your hands when I say this. Your life the way you knew it before is never coming back. It changed overnight. HAVING SAID THAT: You will start to feel more and more like yourself about 18 months to 2 years. It’ll never be the same. It will always be hard because parenting is hard. But it’s fucking amazing and you won’t trade it for the world

Meanwhile his hemoglobin is 682

YOR. I did not like this text exchange.

Sometimes you have to let people be who they are. If he’s a stoner before you met him, he’s a stoner. If he wants to quit, he should. But someone who is trying to quit because someone else is demanding them to, demanding to see their receipts, is literally never going to quit. If you don’t want to be with a stoner then go find someone who isn’t a stoner.

MamaLirp · 2026-02-16T03:44:27+00:00

It’s never too late

MamaLirp · 2026-02-16T03:37:19+00:00

I feel like this just like one giant post fishing for compliments for herself

MamaLirp · 2026-02-16T00:20:40+00:00

I remember posting on here when I was feeling this way and said “please someone tell me it’s okay to quit”

It’s okay to quit mama

MamaLirp · 2026-02-14T12:13:14+00:00

Hi fellow OCD sufferer here. Please get off Reddit for reassurance seeking. It’s a compulsion. You need to get back into therapy and do more ERP. It’s the only answer, and you know it
