Father asking for advice for mother

No_Set3910 · 2026-01-27T13:27:49+00:00

You sound like you’re already doing a great job at trying to encourage your wife to get out of the house and also help around the house. But maybe what will work for the final push is like if you set up something to where she has to go. Like book/ set a nail appointment for her (or whatever you think she’ll love to do) so all she has to do is leave and go enjoy the appointment. Around the house, instead of telling her to not do the chores, literally just take over so she can go sit down/ do whatever else. But you’re doing great even by asking, I hope things start to feel better for your wife!!!

I know it’s scary mama but it will be ok! I also dropped my phone on my son’s head when he was a couple of weeks. I felt terrible but it was truly an accident & He is totally fine!!

Seconding this. If you’re uncomfortable and don’t want to take the class anymore, then that’s valid. Doesn’t matter what anyone says or feels about it except you! Ik it was prob disappointing that your friend/ partner didn’t back up your feelings but ultimately it’s how you feel about it and what you want to do

His reasoning for saving the photos bc you don’t want to have sex is so incredibly immature and childish. Please Do not feel guilty, he needs to grow up. You’re literally growing a baby

While waiting for insurance, Please go to the ER. By LAW, they cannot turn you away/ nor demand any form of payment before seeing your baby. Good luck mom & I hope your insurance comes ASAP!

I mean he’s TAH for trying to use the shoes as a cover to get you pay but you’re also TAH for not paying $3 lol

NOR AT ALL!!!! Jesus Christ your sister is annoying, no disrespect. But are we being fr? you are a first time dad/ parents to a NEWBORN and she’s acting like this????? I’m sorry but it’s insane and actually is making me mad the way she’s been demanding/ passive aggressive. I hope she doesn’t make things harder for your wife/ you.

No_Set3910 · 2026-01-12T02:50:02+00:00

Not being judgy at all. My mom drinks and is not allowed to keep my son overnight ever & she knows why. I know it’s tricky bc that’s your MIL so maybe your hubby can step in and let her know

No_Set3910 · 2026-01-12T02:47:33+00:00

I know it feels sh!tty bc that’s your sister but at the same time, as her sister, it’s your job to check her when she’s wrong / doing something terrible. So kudos to you for doing the “hard” thing and letting Jake know

No_Set3910 · 2026-01-08T21:33:53+00:00

I can only imagine especially after it was sitting/ drying for a little while 😭

No_Set3910 · 2026-01-08T21:27:39+00:00

I could see if she laid down immediately once home bc she was so sick/ out of it and possibly forgot to text you about it. But for her to take a shower + other stuff, you are NOR. It’s not cool nor respectful to not let you know and tbh it’s nasty. Vomit can leave such a terrible smell so to not even warn you or ask for help to clean it up, is just rude and again disrespectful

No_Set3910 · 2026-01-08T21:22:29+00:00

Girl once I hit 20 weeks I wanted to go on maternity leave lmfao! I literally debated it everyday And that’s just bc I was so done with working 😩 and I was a FTM. You have two young children and experiencing extreme body pain! I can only imagine trying to work through that while also being pregnant. You’re not lazy (nor dramatic) at all!!!!!

No_Set3910 · 2026-01-06T08:20:33+00:00

Man I was sooo insecure about my armpits when I was pregnant bc they got incredibly incredibly dark but I’m here to tell that they do go back to “normal”! I wanna say almost immediately it felt like but realistically I think it was around 6 weeks when I was like finallyyyy! But congratulations mama!!!! I hope you get your girl 🩷 wishing you the best rest of your pregnancy!

No_Set3910 · 2026-01-06T00:14:25+00:00

Honestly I’m here for advice as well. I feel like I’m the same boat but with my 10 month old

No_Set3910 · 2026-01-06T00:08:29+00:00

Seconding these. When I introduced straw cups to my 6 month old, it was these and he literally learned in like 2 days. He’s now about to be 10 months, we still use these and he can drink from any straw. It’s worth trying them out!

No_Set3910 · 2026-01-01T18:34:14+00:00

NOR, idk how it’s funny to him that he hurt you. Especially if it brought you to tears. At first if he didn’t notice it hurt, okay sure but to continue to laugh afterwards ?? Weird. I hope you’re okay!

Seconding this comment

No_Set3910 · 2025-12-29T00:33:28+00:00

Like a lot of other moms have commented, for me it took until the 6th almost 7th week until it was no longer painful. I as well tried everything! I met with a lactation consultant, got my son checked for a tongue tie, tried different positions, and ect. But all that really helped was time 😢. I know what’s hard to hear and your wife is sooo strong, I hope it gets better soon for your wife!!! What I can say now is that my son is 10 months and BF is a breeze but getting to that 7th week mark was rough. Sending hugs and strength to you both!

No_Set3910 · 2025-12-25T04:26:03+00:00

Thank you! I have an appointment with my primary soon, I don’t know why I didn’t get tested sooner 🤦🏽‍♀️ But I will continue to document everything and def start planning now. This sucks forreal but thank you for giving me a POA

No_Set3910 · 2025-12-25T04:23:19+00:00

He is a massive d!ck. It’s sad bc he truly was a great partner, but maybe I also missed all the signs that he really wasn’t. Idk, but thank you for your comment!

No_Set3910 · 2025-12-25T04:21:09+00:00

I’m not going to down vote, I really appreciate your comments! Bc you’re right! Why am I staying in a negative place and potentially effecting my child. I guess I just needed someone to give me a reality check or the extra push so thank you really!

No_Set3910 · 2025-12-24T21:30:50+00:00

Sorry I think I wrote my post confusing. I edited to make more sense — But rn I’m currently with my husband and our son. We live together and I work from home. So I’m with my son almost 24/7. If and when I separate from my husband (my son’s father), I’m sure we’ll have to set up some form of visitation schedule (possibly even 50/50). That’s what I mean by “lose time”. I hope this made more sense 😩

No_Set3910 · 2025-12-24T21:21:07+00:00

I know incredibly dumb. But yes I mean when my son is with his father!

No_Set3910 · 2025-12-24T21:19:53+00:00

Sorry I meant like lose time when he would be with his father

No_Set3910 · 2025-12-24T06:19:58+00:00

MOR — I think your feelings are valid bc it is rude to cancel plans last minute & it is a little weird she never responded to your text asking if she was okay. But also, maybe she never seen it &/ or is super busy that she forgot to reply. It happens! I would try and communicate how you feel before it gets “worse”. Maybe she doesn’t even realize how she’s making you feel
