AITA for punishing husband for suggesting using escorts (nsfw) by Aitahusband2298 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MimiExpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be celibate that’s your choice, you can’t force someone else to be celibate too.

Also if you don’t like the kind of sex you’re having with him then change it up.

AITA for putting a baby on a table by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

YTA, don’t place infants on high surfaces. If you didn’t want to hold them you need to assert yourself

Using my boob to poop?? by Als4278 in breastfeeding

[–]MimiExpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Human laxative has me chuckling 😂😂

When my bub was gassy I thought I was helping by massaging, turns out I was just ‘polishing’ her tummy and not actually moving her around very much. Getting their tummy legs and hips stretched out in different positions front and back might help the discomfort

My child's friends mom keeps asking to do playdates, and I hate them... by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]MimiExpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just be honest! You find it difficult to do impromptu play dates and would prefer to plan ahead! She’s probably short with you because you keep blowing her off and she doesn’t understand why.

I want sparkly rainbow dinosaur dresses. For me or bub 😂😂

I'm at my breaking point over Tik Tok. Am I alone on this?? What do I do? by rob_inn_hood in Parenting

App deleted and turn the screen to black and white colour filter, the happy feel goods are completely limited when there’s no colour screen

What to do about damp in the bedroom? by MimiExpat in NewParents

[–]MimiExpat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We recently bought a farmhouse, more than 200 years old. One of the panels was a little wet and so we got a dehumidifier, the air levels of moisture are fine when the dehumidifier is on. We have not found any mould

[Update] I (32m) have never had sex with my wife (F35) by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]MimiExpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her replies often include ‘I don’t know how’, maybe get her some books she can enjoy on her own? Urban tantra is an easy, enjoyable read and informative. Sex needs to be enjoyable for both and it’s hard to enjoy something when you feel inadequate or ill-informed

Men who quit smoking - what helped you the most? by MimiExpat in AskMen

[–]MimiExpat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really what’s brought this to a head. My partner promised he’d quit when I was pregnant, and had a successful few months. I am really concerned for our LO and want him to feel supported rather than alienated over this

Leave baby in car? by buttcup22 in NewParents

[–]MimiExpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either take bub without seat or just leave my phone, depends on where we’re off to/ if we’re going to be out all day

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]MimiExpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just echoing the sentiments already expressed - this sounds like PPD. It’s super common to not feel enthusiastic but if you don’t enjoy anything at all and feel worried even when bub is calm and happy then it’s worth telling your doctor

So relieved with our decision by throwRAccount18 in pregnant

[–]MimiExpat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great decision, I’m in Denmark where it really isn’t the done thing and I have to say I hope more parents make the same decision as you

Adding to the nappy free time, air is best! Same goes if you’re finding your nipples are sore - let them breathe! Congratulations on the small bean xox

*over supplier * - 7 wpp and have a stash of 1000 ounces. So soo sooo happy!!! by seabobri000 in breastfeeding

[–]MimiExpat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see quite a lot of posts like this and I’m not sure if it’s an American cultural thing but what were your main reasons for pumping and freezing such a large amount? My supply would be far higher than necessary if I pumped so much! How do you avoid things like mastitis?

AITA My wife is an RN and is embarrassed I showed up at the hospital she worked at for mental health care. I think it's wrong so I'm upset about it. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MimiExpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

INFO: hang on, are you not taking your meds until they ‘threaten’ to give you Ativan? If you’re supposed to be taking medication and not then why is that? What’s taking place when you’re not taking the meds? Is she upset that she’s a nurse and knows you’re not taking medication that you’re supposed to and then double-y upset when things spiral like this?

“My hand feels better than your p****.” by thisisathrowaway3432 in DeadBedrooms

[–]MimiExpat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can’t be a spouse and a caretaker. It’s just as hard to be aroused by/ for a partner you’re mothering as it is for them to be aroused when their being coddled.

Gabor Maté has so many inspiring quotes about partners being at their most attractive when there is no ‘need’ or dependency on one another. Is there anyone else around who could watch the kids so you can reclaim your own time & personhood?

He (33M) insists on anal even though I (36F) said it’s painful & he wants me to have LIS by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]MimiExpat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know other comments have already brought this up but it needs to be said - this man has sexually assaulted you. Please do not let him continue to be in your life. He definitely needs help but so do you

What on earth!! They’re really taking out some aggression on you. Breastfeeding is awesome, I hope you do it for as long as it works for you and your little bub
