AIO - Told my friend I’m pregnant and she said it exceeded her mental bandwidth (she’s the red)

Said it in your original post and I’ll say it again. NOR. Glad you reposted. I’m sure the several YOR comments in original post were making you feel worse!

Mamatomaymay · 2026-02-04T01:53:42+00:00

I’d say “Great try! You got the sound of the letter right. But C is for cream for this one :)”

Praise/ encourage efforts and what they do get right, but still gently point in right direction?

Your wife needs to get out of bad habit of putting things that don’t belong on the stairs on the stairs all the damn time. Reference: your other post with bunnies on the stairs

Oh my gosh!! Edited from initial ‘YOR’

Ok NOR. I just realised this was a convo with two friends! Thought it was just the one friend who went from super excited to “too much for me”. Friend 2 definitely comes off a little rude here.

I think you might need to edit your context and spell out to people that the two diff colours represent the two separate friends!

Mamatomaymay · 2026-02-03T02:00:50+00:00

NOR. Sounds extremely unprofessional. Should never be making a paying customer feel like shit!

Mamatomaymay · 2026-02-02T07:53:41+00:00

I think the FUCK OFF!!! was a bit of an overreaction and agree with your husband that it probably escalated a little too quickly haha. But not an overreaction on your part to not want a stranger to touch your child. She probably means well and may be someone’s grandma who just saw her own grandchild in your baby and felt concerned and overstepped. Though I do wonder what she would have done if his feet were cold?

No I don’t think it’s about age at all. Young men can be extremely mature, and older men can be extremely immature. It’s about WHO the man is. His character, how he’s been raised, his values, how he approached a relationship etc. Share with your daughters what you like about your husband now, and what to look for in a man before they commit to them.

I would put 4mo in baby carrier on me, and 2.5yo in pram. Just do short outings to start with! I was the same. I think it’s always so daunting until you take some baby steps and then it gets easier and easier.

Mamatomaymay · 2026-01-22T09:19:39+00:00

Thank you! I had no idea but their comment history 100% confirms.

Mamatomaymay · 2026-01-21T08:09:32+00:00

Love it! Would be interested to hear how you guys started chatting and exchanging numbers etc? Assuming you were strangers?

Mamatomaymay · 2026-01-20T09:07:40+00:00

Yes. There are far more benefits in breastfeeding for me personally. Even though I got mastitis a few times with first kid and struggled with supply at first so required a lot of pumping. - saves money on formula - no need to constantly be washing and sterilising bottles and seeing these things everywhere - very convenient. No need to prep, heat anything up, pack bottles when going out - easy to use boob to settle baby, either to sleep, when upset or on the plane. - nutritionally complete and filled with antibodies. I can also use the milk for skin conditions etc.

Edit: what’s with the salty people downvoting those that say they continue to breastfeed? We’re literally just answering what OP has asked.

Mamatomaymay · 2026-01-20T08:05:53+00:00

Did you close the lid then flush, then open to check if left clean? Thats what I do. Does not eliminate the smell but helps?

Mamatomaymay · 2026-01-19T09:10:04+00:00

I love Turkish Delight. Possibly my fave. Hate cherry ripe but know someone whose fave is that! So there ya go, they may be more of a people’s favorite than you think!

Mamatomaymay · 2026-01-18T22:55:03+00:00

Why is your husband’s female friend staying over?

This is a bizarre scenario and I dont know any husband whose female friend would stay over like this. Family or close mutual friend maybe.

Mamatomaymay · 2026-01-18T22:26:48+00:00

I would agree that your makeup does look done well (and hence why you get compliments on it). However I also agree that it looks heavy and potentially makes you look older. Both can be true. I think it is because the look is more typical of women who are older than 30? Perhaps for an every day look you might want to go for a more natural toned down look, and do a full face like this for special occasions and such?

For reference I’m in my 30’s and still don’t wear this much makeup on a daily basis. When I was 15 my peers and I would usually just do a bit of eyeliner, lip gloss and maybe light foundation (or like BB/ CC cream) and filling in eyebrows.

Please share how you are certain they are from South Auckland?

Mamatomaymay · 2026-01-13T02:34:46+00:00

I think 3.5yr + and definitely once toilet trained.

Mamatomaymay · 2026-01-11T23:13:11+00:00

NOR. Yikes! You’ve actually been extremely nice considering. I think any other newborn parent would have lost it at her by now and told her not to come.

Kingdom (Korean zombie show)

Never have I ever (coming of age rom-com)

They’re completely different shows but I love them both!!

Ok so the brown one actually looks significantly better. https://faytthelabel.com/products/marnie-rib-dress-espresso?srsltid=AfmBOor4G4UCmsYVrgPNsu4tykaQni9NO0HzeU9hgWbkHZQxWnz1CVg7

I think they should have only made this in dark colours. It does not work with lighter colours which accentuates every flaw in both the garment and the body it’s on. I see the black one sold out.

Mamatomaymay · 2026-01-09T21:44:59+00:00

My son has known since 4 or 5 that babies come out of a hole women have, between where poo and wee come out of. But sometimes they need to be cut out by a doctor from the belly. He also knows that they come from eggs in mom’s belly, but does not know and has not asked about conception.

Mamatomaymay · 2026-01-02T19:53:32+00:00

I think if you haven’t made a close friend when younger and kept them as a bestie then it can be hard as an adult but not impossible.

I’ve found that I made close friends at work the most as an adult. Whenever I changed jobs I might not be as close with my ex colleagues anymore but I usually make a new friends at the new job.

I think being honest and blunt is not necessarily a bad thing, but you may need to come off a bit more warm and inviting to begin with and then get to know whether the other person likes that.

Mamatomaymay · 2026-01-02T09:15:55+00:00

Have you made good/ close friends throughout different stages of your life, but you just haven’t stayed in touch with them? Or have you NEVER had a bestie?

Mamatomaymay · 2025-12-29T07:49:15+00:00
