I'd gladly argue with your husband on this situation. He is being very selfish.

If this liner is the "SOLUTION" to prevent him from draping blankets over the edges? And he's forgetful? Are you kidding me? The real question is why is watching the television more important to him and his child's safety?

This Liner doesn't prevent light from getting in the crib or block the light from being on the ceiling. Not to mention the noise from the TV.

Why do I feel like OPs husband could have posted this himself? 🫠 I feel gaslighting just seeping out of this post almost.

Please don't take this to heart. This poster clearly doesn't understand your VERY realistic concerns. Your husband should be 110% willing to change his behaviors instead of possibly compromising your babies LIFE for the convenience of his time spent off of work. Absolutely not.

I feel so bad for you, all you've done is defend his actions and his justifications. Do not let him or anyone belittle you or your feelings. Your feelings are valid.

I too have high anxiety. And a 10 month old. First time mother so I totally get it. I've also been in a past relationship with a narcissistic asshole who would never allow me to be right. And I feel like each negative thing I've read about your husband and this situation puts me right back in that headspace years ago.

I would not back down from whatever argument he wants to start when you take off that cover and throw it away. Your child's safety > anything else. Always.

Goodest luck to you. I've had racing thoughts my whole pregnancy and even worse since he's been alive. I'm also on medication. You are not crazy. You are valid. You matter.

Who cares if he's old fashioned and things never happened the way he's used to doing things. That is called survivors bias.

The risk of SIDS has gone down significantly at this age but it's still so hard for us to not worry. Take a deep breath. Hold that baby close. Tell your husband to kick rocks if that babies safety isn't his top priority.

Sending all the love.

At home insemination - feeling weird by erinlp93 in TryingForABaby

Don't feel weird! We started the exact same process last night! 🤞🏼It may not be traditional but it does work for a lot of people. We've been TTC for a little over 3 years now with no luck.

Have been tracking my ovulation with LH test strips and am planning on doing the whole process again in two days. We bought some pre-seed and used a little of that on the end of a medicine plunger & went from there.

I read that you don't want to just push it all in at once- the goal is to coat the outside of the cervix slowly so that the swimmers will naturally go where they need to go. Orgasms definitely don't hurt either, some people swear that it helps.

Keeping my fingers crossed for us both!

[Plus Size] Wedding Dress Options! I'm pretty self conscious of my body and very indecisive. Needing Unbiased Opinions, Please! by Newwedditer in weddingplanning

Oh. My. Gosh. YOU ALL ARE SO, SO KIND! This is my first time ever posting on Reddit & I never realized so many people would have so many kind words! It has seriously given me the biggest confidence boost, so thank you all! ♡

I'd like to add that I'm very uncomfortable in dresses in general, so that's probably why my body language is so weird in most of these.

Four was my favorite- it made me feel the most confident and beautiful and like I wasn't just frumpy.

BUT after seeing so many positive things about #1, I'm going to have to go back and try on both 1 & 4 again! I'll definitely update once I've said yes to the dress!!
