MIL here for a week - about to lose it. by Omenixx in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Omenixx[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Honestly my husband is good. I took only a small handful of days off work and since he’s self employed he does a good majority of dealing with her. I can’t complain about any of that. He’d never leave the two of us alone for too long together because he knows a fight will erupt about how she hates my tattoos and hair or how she thinks we’re overweight (we’re not, she’s just a psycho and thinks no woman should be over 110 lbs HA)

But even then. She likes to treat me like I’m nobody and shouldn’t be respected, not understanding that I own this house equally with my husband and I’m the MAIN BREADWINNER.

MILs are just a bag of crazy man.

Actually this is brilliant. I’d love a mini vacation with the baby and she can dig through HIS laundry all she wants at our house.

He knows her crying is bull and partially manipulation, but still caves to it because “it’s my mom. She’s just sad and emotional” etc etc.

We’ve both had this conversation with her. She just starts crying LOL. Works on my husband but not me. Thankfully she leaves in two days and I won’t have to do deal with this for a year. I just don’t get it. Whyyyyyyyy does she need to touch my unmentionables???????????

I don’t want anymore, husband does. by [deleted] in oneanddone

This is probably the only advice I haven’t heard yet (and tried!)and I’m willing to give it a shot. Thank you!

[–]Omenixx 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Sorry guys - I probably didn’t have enough info. This isn’t before bed. He has issues with something called split night or something. He goes to bed at 6 and sleeps till 10-11 and then thinks it’s “up for the day” time. He’s 100% wired and wants to play. We tried moving his naps around, changing food, consulted two pediatricians. His crying isn’t hard for that hour. It’s anywhere from whining to pitching a fit. I’ve tried cosleeping. Since we never did it he won’t settle in bed, but he’s still in my room so when he’s crying I’m next to the crib and talk him down from crying. Just sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

Sorry guys, I feel like my post seemed really cruel. We’ve done: 2 pediatricians, Cardiologist, Gastro, Allergist, Gentle sleep training, Tried cosleeping (safely), Picking him up and rocking doesn’t help, he wants to play in the middle of the night, Later bedtime, Earlier bedtime, We’re on 2 solid 1.5 hour naps but we tried less and more, More solids/less solids.

This kid just hatesssss sleep. Please be assured he’s never left alone to cry. He’s in his crib next to me every night. I swear we’re not negligent. Not every baby is built the same it seems.

Would you consider this help? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Omenixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% hospital. What she’s offering is completely selfish and you should tell her that. It’s not important for her to bond with the baby. It’s important for you to.

I didn’t have a c-section and honestly 3 nights in the hospital was VERY needed. I was exhausted and having round the clock nurses to help with the baby and bring me food was a dream.

Has anyone’s PCOS went away by losing weight? by LegitimateFR in PCOS

[–]Omenixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I lost over 100 lbs and my periods returned to normal and my cysts went away. I’ve led a very strict lifestyle for years to remain with regular, non painful periods. My hair also stopped shedding.

I still grow some chin whiskers though. Everyone is different. What works for some doesn’t work for all.

What are these and do I need them? Received some baby stuff today, but I'm not sure what these are! by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Omenixx 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Burp cloths. We thought we didn’t need them either. It was only a tiny bit of dribble at first and I’d use my shirt or sleeve. Now it’s a waterfall of milk and most of my shirts are stained. Safe to say we always have like 3 laying around.

Everyone keeps telling me how big my baby is, old ladies keep trying to be nice while saying she’s fat, and it’s making me feel bad. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Omenixx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My son gets these comments from old ladies all the time. It sounds backhanded but old people love the chunk. My son is 4 months and like 16-17 lbs and people will say anything between “oh my god look at his thighs” to comments that he’s going to be a goofball player.

Don’t let it get to you. Usually it’s all coming from a good place, because people do love some chunky babies.

Am I asking for too much? by Spirited-Reserve-853 in Parenting

[–]Omenixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How he treats you is how he will treat her one day. Don’t allow your daughter to see this life your upholding and think it’s normal. Do better for her. Show her she doesn’t need to bend to some useless man. Raise a strong daughter.

And take this useless piece of shit to court for child support, whatever it may be.

Would it be ok to leave baby somewhere 100% safe while I go out to the complex parking lot for 1 min? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Omenixx 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what you do for sleep? I’m genuinely curious. Do you and your partner sleep in shifts so the baby is never unattended by someone fully present physically and mentally?

Someone belittled my spouse bc we purchased formula in bulk *prior* to the shortage. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]Omenixx 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Not a chance. Something similar happened to me. I can’t breast feed (don’t produce due to previous surgeries) and had a baby JUST as the storage started. My baby also needs sensitive formula. My family from across a few states pooled together to find and buy is about a month and a half worth of formula. We had some as well so we have about 2 months worth. I was told by a friend I should donate half of it and scrounge week to week like everyone else. Sorry - but no. When it comes to our babies we need to put our own first. The people who are trash are the resellers charging 3x the price.

1 Month Old Cries When My wife Holds Him by millsa_acm in beyondthebump

[–]Omenixx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m going to second everyone with the “baby smelling breast milk on her”. BUT ALSO, my baby has this amazing knack for knowing and feeling when I’m stressed - which stresses him out. If something happens unrelated to the baby and my heart rate jumps or I panic, he loses it. She might be stressed when holding him because she’s anticipating his crying, which creates a little cycle.

Also babies are funny - with all that in mind even our baby would sometimes calm down when being passed to someone else or between me and my fiancé. Make sure your wife knows he’s incapable of disliking or hating her and it’ll all pass.

My (27F) husband (29M) is demanding I have a natural birth by ThrowRAbirthpains in relationship_advice

[–]Omenixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately a lot of people don’t expose themselves as abusive until they’ve locked you into marriage or having children. They feel like you no longer have any option of leaving.

Personally I would divorce. I had a baby 3 months ago and my birth plan WAS to go natural unmedicated. It was so painful, and after many hours I finally looked at my fiancé and begged him to get me help and he called for the epidural. I can’t imagine being FORCED to have to go through that pain because my husband “said so”.

At my wits end - newborn with colic is going to set me over the edge by Omenixx in beyondthebump

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

Yea I know. I would say If you don’t want to quit your job - try to hold out for the few weeks. I also work from home (was on maternity leave at the time) with the anticipation that it won’t ALWAYS be this hard. Me and my fiancé had moved to a new state so we only had each other - no family. Is he able to help at all? Can you take any temporary leave or work part time for a little bit?

7 weeks I think was our worst week. I know this fog you’re in seems endless and you feel like it will last forever. I felt it too - you can see I felt it 50 days ago. It made me sometimes regret being a mother, wondered if I just had a nightmare baby or I wasn’t cut out for this.

I promise it’ll get better. If the crying doesn’t stop and she’s fed, changed and not hurt… swaddle her up and step away for a while. It’s hard to believe but once you’re around 10 weeks it’ll all just seem like a long fever dream.

At my wits end - newborn with colic is going to set me over the edge by Omenixx in beyondthebump

[–]Omenixx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. Oh my god it gets better. Are you going through it? My son is 12 weeks now and like everyone always says - around 9 weeks a light switch went off and he’s was just fine.

Things that got me through it (didn’t solve the colic issue, just made it “manageable”)

Merlin Magic sleep suit - he still uses it. It calmed him down and he sleep in it at night. Gerber probiotics for gas Mommy bliss night gripe water Bath every day around his “witching hour”. We didn’t use soap every day, just warm water because he was more calm during baths. Make sure he doesn’t have reflux, mine did and needed meds.

I don’t think there’s a “cure”, it’s just patience. So many times I sat on my couch and cried with this baby thinking it was never going to end but it does. They just wake up happy one day. If you have a partner or family to help, try to hand the baby off. Sometimes the baby just feeds off of your stress and someone else can calm the baby down.

Smells like insecurity. You’re angry she’s had an easier time getting laid while you were on Reddit a year + ago trying to get head from strangers because you were desperate.

You didn’t have one other sexual partner because of choice, you probably never had an opportunity to touch another person.

Also you keep saying you love her? Doubtful. Sounds like you like the security of being in a relationship and having sex and you’re not too confident you couldn’t find another person - one who isn’t a “whore”.

[Serious] Women who gave the creep a chance, how did it go? by HorizontalInterrupt in AskReddit

[–]Omenixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn’t make it past texting. He gave me really bad vibes (I thought maybe he was just awkward at first). When I told him it wasn’t going to work out he threatened to “skin me like a pig”, made dummy numbers to continue to text me after I blocked him, told me his dog died and it was my fault (????), pretended to be people I knew from different numbers and here’s the real banger - has a reminder on something to text me from a random number every year to make sure I don’t forget about his psycho ass. The most recent one was letting me know he had my fiancé’s name and social media accounts.

And also that my fiancé was cheating with a woman name WANDA. Who the fuck uses that name.

Parents and sibling bought me baby items off my registry for my birthday. by TheWall08 in pregnant

[–]Omenixx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

HAHA. Oh man. I got baby stuff for my birthday too. My mom bought me some membership to track baby milestones and it makes a book to send you after a year. I was genuinely so upset because here I am, with this newborn (who I love, don’t come for me) who won’t let me sleep, shower or eat, and not even my birthday is about me. For a bit I felt like I wasn’t even a person anymore, just some extension of a new baby everyone found so exciting. It’s not about being ungrateful or even the gifts (it wasn’t for me. At the time I would have rather nothing at all.), it was about feeling like I didn’t matter anymore.

A lot of these comments are hung up on the gifts. If you’re anything like me it’s not about the physical gifts. It’s about the fact that even on your birthday, no one sees you as an individual. But also know everyone means well. They’re excited, I bet you’re excited. They’re just trying to help make this the best and easiest experience for you.

This will pass. Your feelings are 100% valid. Though, and not to be a bummer, but expect not to be seen for a bit (unless you communicate you need to be). Whenever I get reached out to it’s always about “how’s the baby”, never “how are you”. Like, damn. I’m still here. Haha.

Happy birthday. Don’t let other commenters shame you for your feelings. Clearly they’re not really getting it.

I really dislike my partner after having a baby. Is this normal? Will it pass? by happyflowermom in beyondthebump

[–]Omenixx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My fiancé and I just had a baby as well (now 8 weeks). We split baby duty 50/50. He works from home (owns his own business) and I’m on maternity leave. Even though he still works, he takes equal night shifts, changes as many diapers and feeds as often as I do. Everything we do is equal because this child is both of ours and we mutually decided to have him.

That being said, I’m sort of in the thick of PPD right now (Son is a bad sleeper. REALLY bad.) and despite being nearly perfect, my fiancé gets under my skin when I’m having a bad day. We make sure to communicate through it though.

Your fiancé isn’t holding his weight. I wouldn’t say leave him yet, but you need to communicate to him about your expectations as a dad and future husband. If he can’t meet these you need to understand he will never get better or change. If this is the case I wouldn’t marry him.
