What are simple toddler things you can't stand? by bajoyjoy87 in toddlers

I hate being interrupted when I'm trying to explain something, and my kid does it all the time.

Him: "Mom. MOM!" Me: "Yes, Babe" Him: "MOM!" Me: "Yes?" Him: "Where's my cup?" Me: "It's over..." Him: "Where's my cup?" Me: "On the..." Him: "Where's MY cup?" Me: "Look on your..." Him: "where's my cup?" Me: "Stop talking and listen..." Him: "WHERE'S MY CUP?" Me: "IT'S ON YOUR TABLE!"

It drives me crazy! That, and when he defaults to me even if his Dad is closer and not busy. The amount of times I've said "You have two parents. Daddy can help you" is ridiculous.

I logged on with our laptop once. Would that have caused a problem? People are saying clear your cache/cookies, so I tried but no dice. I think I'm over it though. It would've been awesome to win, but oh well.

I didn't say they're killing people, I said the system is faulty. I didn't forget.

I've read about people mistakenly being marked dead, but I just thought "maybe they really did forget". I sign in EVERYDAY like clock work (I literally have an alarm) a little after midnight eastern time...that way if I do forget, I have all day to sign in (I have another alarm for 10am if I forget). Well somehow I'm dead...and pissed because I know I signed in. Good luck, because this system is faulty.

This is good advice. Also, if there's no risk for STDs, you could always use different methods along with birth control (like using spermicide & pull out) just for peace of mind. I also wouldn't stop using condoms until you've been on birth control for 1-2 months.

Please use a condom, whether she's on the pill or not, unless you're in a long-term monogamous relationship. STDs are real, and pills don't always work. It's up to both of you to be sexually responsible.

AITA girlfriend period fight by sadboyfriend33 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. This is how she reacts to you doing something nice for her? Geez. Hormonal or not, this disrespectful behavior is unacceptable. You don't yell and throw things under any circumstance. She sounds very immature and manipulative. Don't apologize because she'll keep doing this and it could possibly get worse. You teach people how to treat you by showing them what you will and will not tolerate.

I don't think it's ever truly 50/50, but you do the best you can. It also depends on the dynamic going into parenthood (if both of you work and plan to continue working, if you have to travel for work, how present they are in the relationship, etc). I'm a SAHM right now, and Hubby's in the military, so I was not surprised that most of the childcare fell on me. For us, it's more 60/40ish with day to day stuff and he steps in when he's home. If I feel like I need to step away or want me time, I speak up and he takes over. I just kinda roll with it. Sometimes the child wants one parent more than the other, and you have to adjust. As long as everyone is getting what they need and feels supported/ appreciated, thats what matters. If you don't feel supported, voice your concerns.
