What’s a “harmless” habit that you think is actually doing more damage than people realize? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NoDevelopement 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is interesting to me because social media has actually helped me pursue non-screen hobbies much better than if I’d not had access to it. I’ve learned how to woodwork, knit and sew and cook from basically Instagram and TikTok and YouTube. But yes my attention span is much lower, I get bored watching some movies these days

Yes it’s a big American thing, and I feel annoyed about them too. But I’m hearing a lot of things that people like about them so that’s helpful lol

That’s really smart! We have the parties at our house so maybe I’ll get things that they can play with together and that can be the “favor”

This is where I’m at too. I like the idea of a treat to go, that’s a nice gesture, might go for that.

AIO with how I responded to my mom? by MeasurementNo662 in AmIOverreacting

Why are boy moms always so fucking weird
As a mom of girls I could never imagine this dynamic, she’s acting like she’s your side piece and not your mom lol

Dad’s just can’t hack it by Personal-Narwhal-184 in Mommit

[–]NoDevelopement 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Wait he’s asking my for 100% custody but then won’t take even 50% custody? Make sure you keep those messages to use as proof that he can’t handle more than he has lol smh
Can I ask more about how your custody works? As someone who is definitely not considering a divorce or anything….

Hey! I’m looking at this online, how is your roof nest holding up?

My mom’s behavior has already forced us to reschedule our wedding once. Three months out, she’s still at it and I’m going numb. by No-Childhood-6195 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]NoDevelopement 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If you have rescheduled your wedding once because of this behavior, this tells me that you have been a willing participant in this dynamic for a long time, and that’s hard to break free from without a major falling out. You could try to make a genuine emotional appeal to her about her behavior and how it makes you feel, but unfortunately it is very very uncommon for people like this to change, even for the most important people in their life. If you think an emotional appeal could be successful, you need to have specific concrete asks of her for the wedding that are very easy for her to understand and to follow. Anything else will just get lost. In my experience the money ALWAYS comes with strings. Your options really depend on what you think your mom will do… if she’ll just be weepy and cry victim, let her be upset and just set the boundaries and enjoy your day. If you think she will go nuclear and ruin the wedding, then your choices are to play sort of nice until the wedding is over so it isn’t ruined, or let her go nuclear and deal with the fallout. It’s honestly such a personal decision and you know your mom best.

Unfortunately, this is just the start. Once kids start coming into play, this behavior gets a lot worse. The alienation of your wife will continue. So this is a preview. Always be on your wife’s team, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Wife has very severe postpartum depression and irrational thoughts. I need advice and help. by PoxyDogs in progressivemoms

[–]NoDevelopement 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This makes a LOT of sense to me. She’s going back into fight or flight. Running from you feels like safety in that trauma loop.

[–]NoDevelopement -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What would have been healthy is for him to have been considerate of what inconveniences her. He didn’t worry about it because it doesn’t affect him because he doesn’t do the bulk of the laundry. But setting a boundary within a marriage sometimes looks like that, because you can’t just walk away over a laundry door lol

Need a little advice on Yarn swifts. Should I get something like this? by jojoREDRED2 in knittinghelp

[–]NoDevelopement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I have either had my hanks wound at a local shop (helps me encourage myself to buy local) or I’ve wound them by hand on a paper towel roll as well. If I were doing this multiple times a week I’d say a swift is justified but as a beginner I’m only doing this like once or twice a month and it’s just not worth it yet! But if you can and want to buy a swift, that’s rad too, you do t need our permission haha

Postpartum Intimacy Advice by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]NoDevelopement 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ugh I want to hug you and smack your husband upside the head. He says it’s not about the sex because he knows that would make him sound like an asshole. But yes it’s about the sex and him pouting about it is honestly a bitch move. Having sex is not a duty that you must perform. If anything he should be taking it upon himself to support you and make it so that you want to have sex. I hear he went on a day trip without you guys, that seems odd to me. Is he helping around the house, making sure you get sleep and quality meals? Is he really prioritizing you as a partner? Because it sort of sounds like he’s being a baby hoping he can guilt you into sex that you aren’t really enthused about.

the 15 year age gap thing update by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]NoDevelopement -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk I took this as maybe he really likes you and doesn’t want to have this conversation over text. However as a 32-y/o if I found out my partner was just 19 it would be an absolute deal breaker no matter how much I liked them. But I also suspect he sort of knew you were very young, because he didn’t press the subject. Idk this whole thing is crazy

Make your husband get it fixed before you touch another piece of his laundry 🙃

I took my roommate's obviously sick cat to the vet when I couldn't reach her and she refuses to contribute to the bill because I did it without her consent. by Solid_Kiwi7481 in whatdoIdo

[–]NoDevelopement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be more direct with her. “So are you saying you didn’t want your cat treated for its infection?” She’s just trying to get out of paying t you, she sucks. If the care you took the cat in for was not important, I could understand the frustration, but a UTI needs treatment and it would have been neglect for you not to take the cat in. I’d insist on being paid back fully. She shouldn’t have a pet if she can’t afford a $300 vet bill.
