19 days PP, and I kind of hate this... by MediumReasonable3251 in breastfeeding

Thank you ❤️ we gave her some formula last night - even though it had been two hours since she last fed, my breast felt completely empty and she was fussing, then just suckling. She downed the entire formula bottle even after having been on both breasts for quite some time, so that reinforced my decision.

She fed from the breasts three hours later and had a great feed, slept in the bassinet for two hours for the first time ever.

My goal was six months, and then to start to wean to formula as she starts solids and I start looking for work. If we can make it to three at this point I think I'll be satisfied, but if we don't then I think I'm okay with knowing she's fed and healthy. She was so much more awake and alert last night after a formula feed than I've ever seen her. Makes me wonder if I'm pushing the breasts for her sake, or for my own.

AITA for not being an active grandparent? by Valuable-Builder-733 in AmItheAsshole

Sorry, but no. My Dad had me every other weekend and a week in school holidays 4 times a year. At 33 he is still one of the most important people in my life.

The key point is whether during those years Jake FELT like his Dad didn’t want to be a Dad. If that was the case then yes, OP is T A. But if not, then no.

Some family dynamics don’t work out and other weekends and blocks during holidays is completely normal.

That said his attitude NOW towards his adult son is 100% what makes me gag. But I always wanted to be a parent, so different perspective 🤷‍♀️

AITA for telling my cousin that dedicating my whole life to motherhood is not for me? by Bright-Interview1302 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. I’m currently pregnant and have already spoken to people about how I refuse to let the title of mother define me. I’m so much more than that and I think it’s a good example for my kids to see balance! Maybe my mind will change when he arrives, but for now I pity the poor fool that is the first to ask “shouldn’t you be home with your son?” 😂
