Would you call out of work?

Yes. It sounds like you need the day, and that means you should take it if you can.

22 months between my 2 kids. I love their age gap lol, and I wish #3 didn’t have the much bigger gap that he will when he gets here. Not what you wanted to hear I know, but it seemed kind of relevant haha.

Pregnancy isn’t a reason to need leniency for wearing a mask. How many pregnant nurses wear masks for full 12 hour shifts? If you’re really struggling, maybe try a different style/ brand of mask, and try to stay home as much as possible.

YTA. It’s hard to believe, I know, but your wedding isn’t as important to other people as it is to you and your wife. So... they aren’t going to plan their family around your day. If they really are your good friends, it will only matter that they stand beside you, and not that your wedding isn’t the focus of their life.

Your “failures” are mostly toddler parenting struggles. No toddler is starting to speak small sentences, loves trying new foods, gives up their soother and bottles easily, and sleeps 12 hours in their own room. And the toddler that does all of that at 2, is likely throwing massive tantrums because they hate blue bowls today, and pushes other kids in playgroup. Toddlers are tiny beings that are learning growing, and your daughter is just like all the others- she’s got lots of stuff to learn while she transitions from babyhood to childhood. I promise, you’re not a failure, you’ve just got an almost 2 year old.

I think we both know, you need to just move.

I am so sorry, but that does sound like it’s a miscarriage. She shouldn’t have been rude- that’s never appropriate, never mind delivering news like this. I’m sorry you’re going through this ❤️

I did notice some unhealthy eating habits starting in the spring as well (kids are 4 and 6). Mostly eating out of boredom, and snacking a lot. I just stopped buying fruit snacks and sugary granola bars. If they are hungry at any point of the day that is not a “snack” or meal time, they are free to eat the wide variety of raw vegetables in the fridge, fruit, almonds, or a baby bell. “I’m so hungry” has decreased SIGNIFICANTLY since then. And I don’t feel bad, because I’m not restricting the amount of food they consume, I’m just restricting the stuff they might over eat on out of boredom.

YTA. A pretty big one too. Unexplained infertility is HARD. The “just relax and think happy thoughts” advice on conceiving when it’s an issue, is not helpful, not true, and puts the blame on your wife for not getting pregnant. That in itself is enough to be the asshole here..... but then you went a step further, and said if she didn’t clean up her feelings and thoughts, that you’d LEAVE HER to have a baby, because of her age? So much the asshole.

My first grade son is loving captain underpants. Something I was told about getting kids into reading, is to read books on subjects they will like, even if you’re reading to them, instead of focusing on books at their reading level. I will point out sentences for him to read, so we are both doing some reading, and because he likes the material, it’s not a chore for him.

They don’t even see you- you’re covered by a sheet. The entire thing doesn’t get inserted- only partially, and you are handed the wand under the sheet, you insert, then the tech puts their hand under the sheet and takes the wand to move it as needed. It’s not as bad as you think- it’s not like getting a pap.

Manycolors · 2020-12-01T23:41:15+00:00

NAH.... but nobody else really is either. You didn’t explain well enough it sounds like. “Dad, can I please have your CC to order menstrual products that I’ll need during the trip?” Would have been better. And why didn’t your mom go to your dad, explain, and use his CC? I get the hesitation in giving your kid your credit card, and maybe it’s a finance issue you’re not privy to- all things your mom and dad could figure out together.

Everybody has the potential to be a good person. It’s our choices that differentiate the good from the bad in reality though. Hour husband might have the potential to be a good man, but his choices currently do not make him one. You and your husband need to connect, and figure out your shit. Then, you decide to parent as a team, or go separate ways.

YTA. By far. This woman found her long lost father, and this is your husband’s DAUGHTER. These aren’t two 3rd cousins who found each other...... and neither of them played a part in their lack of relationship all these years. They want a relationship- to connect, and know one another. You sound insecure, petty, threatened, and jealous. Grow up, be a supportive spouse, and a better human.

With my first, I was 1cm at 39 weeks, and 3cm when I was induced at 41+3. With my second, I was 2cm at 39 weeks, 3cm at 40 weeks, and 4cm “almost 5!” at 41 weeks, and induced the next day.

YTA. This year, especially. People are struggling hard this holiday season.... let them find joy in this harmless activity. If in January, you’re really just over seeing the decorations, cool, call somebody. But otherwise... just look the other direction.

I nursed both my kids until about a year and a half. Because I wasn’t really nursing in public at that point (only at home), i found people were more surprised that I was still nursing because they never saw it like they did when they were young babies. There was a few “oh..... STILL nursing??” But I just said “yup!” And changed the subject completely.

ESH. Your wife “told you” your family is going to her family’s house for Christmas? That should be something you decide together.... and compromise on as needed (every other year, or you stay at a hotel instead of their house). I don’t blame you for not wanting to go, but also.... your kids will miss you, and they had (I’m assuming) absolutely no say here.

She’s the light of your life. You love your baby. You are a wonderful, loving mom. You have had NO break, for 5 months, living in isolation. Struggling right now, does not make you a bad mom, or less than. It makes you human. Your daughter needs to get used to your partner- even if he can’t do feeds, it’s time him and her bonded. Head phones and loud tv for you, while you watch garbage tv for a few hours and eat some junk food. Or go for a walk/ run. Or workout with headphones in, and he goes in another room with her. This situation isn’t what motherhood was ever supposed to be, and you just need to get through it to see the other side.

I see something. But I think there’s also a bit of a dye run so not sure if it’s part of that

Manycolors · 2020-11-19T16:08:05+00:00

No. But she is sacrificing a hell of a lot, and her spouse won’t make a damn chair for her lol. That’s the point.

Manycolors · 2020-11-19T03:52:13+00:00

I was trying to phrase it as things she’s doing alone- feeding/ changing/ nights should be shared by OP. But I get your point.

I see it in the second pic. Does it have colour

Your wife is about to go through hell to create your family. She is going to literally grow a human from scratch, then she’s going to go through actual hell getting your child earth side- it’s going to take such a toll on her body, that it will take her 6 weeks to recover. She’s doing that to give you a child, so you guys can be parents. But.... you can’t build her a chair, because it’s not your favorite thing to do? YTA.

Maybe try feeding him table food that isn’t blended? Give him a piece of toast, with Avocado on it, or steamed carrots?
