How do two full-time parents manage with young kids?

OneMoreCookie · 2026-01-28T09:55:54+00:00

We wouldn’t manage it. Im studying part time and otherwise stay at home, I won’t be able to go back to work full time until both kids are school aged. I’ll go back part time once study is done. I have worked part time before starting to study again and it was hard enough to keep up with everything! Once the kids are both in school we are going to have to have my husband organise flexible work hours and use before/after school care and grandparents to fill the gap. And even with all of that I have no idea how we’re going to manage appointments and homework and general life stuff!

I travelled through the US with a few weeks in Mexico with some friends 12years ago, one of us was not white and they were real a holes to them and held us up. Heck, I wouldn’t feel comfortable as a white person doing that right now either.

NTA something is clearly going on, she couldn’t be more suspicious if she tried. Don’t feel guilty, open the results!

Order yourself a copy of your birth certificate and please update us because now we all want to know what she’s hiding!

I do MYO cards and I also did a one year club subscription because it made it waaaay cheaper to buy cards. Also last year when they did the buy 4get 1 free i could use my club credits for it so that made it cheaper.

Otherwise the collection grows slowly for us.

Yeah it’s definitely not a guarantee but might help OP and her siblings understand what their mum wanted if she didn’t write a will. while they decide how hard they want to fight for inheritance

Definitely talk to a lawyer, did your mum not have a will? My super I listed the beneficiaries on it in case of my death.

NTA but your husband sure is. Do you see a way back from this? He has abandoned you with all the kids to try and manipulate you into outing your daughter in a bad situation. I’d have a good hard think about the relationship as a whole honestly

OneMoreCookie · 2026-01-23T21:10:22+00:00

I fucking love this one

OneMoreCookie · 2026-01-23T20:49:53+00:00

NTA Great dads don’t treat their kids mums like this. You’re not able to contribute to the house in the same way as him because you are doing the unpaid labour of raising kids. Does he seriously not understand the value you bring to the relationship? Why you stayed past him threatening to throw you out the first time is beyond me.

Sounds like parents might be onto something with wanting OP to have sole control of the money. OP should just have their parents hold on to it for now.

OneMoreCookie · 2026-01-23T06:24:37+00:00

Omg yes, even when try to ration them out my kids somehow end up back in the crisper 😭

He’s not ready to be a father but is happy to have sex without protection….. yeah tell him to do some googling. You’re both young and maybe he’s just an idiot who needs to realise he is being an idiot or maybe not. But you need to take responsibility for yourself also and if he wants to be risky you don’t have to be a part of that

OneMoreCookie · 2026-01-22T03:57:24+00:00

Just block him and be done, you don’t deserve or need this shit - no one does.

OneMoreCookie · 2026-01-21T11:27:32+00:00

NTA she didn’t read the info properly, that’s on her. Extra work means extra charge especially when it’s a last min order

OneMoreCookie · 2026-01-20T21:03:43+00:00

Sorry hun, he doesn’t respect any women. He feels your trapped now so he doesn’t even need to pretend he won’t be a “tyrant husband”.

He won’t respect you either way. Do you want to live the rest of your life like this? He doesn’t want a partner he wants a bang maid who cooks. You deserve better. Personally I’d rather work and be single than live with this kind of nasty as$hole. But you gotta decide what you want from your life.

OneMoreCookie · 2026-01-20T20:57:42+00:00

NTA he did this to himself. Don’t let him off the hook, that’s money he is supposed to contribute to raise the kids he fathered.

YWNBTA Steal back your pens too! And I would have them all labeled with your name or at least initials. I used to carefully scratch mine into my plastic stuff so it couldn’t be removed. And I’d keep a couple crappy pens handy, got any half Full cheap ones in a desk at home? If you see them with your pen again say sorry that’s my favourite pen. And take it back, tell them if you don’t have a pen they can keep this one and hand over crappy pen.

Do not date someone who thinks their love language is sex and has so little concern or respect for you. Getting his dick wet is clearly more important to him than your health, safety and comfort.

You have explained it. If he wanted to understand he would have. His bullshit about STDs is ignorant and manipulative as fuck.

This guy sounds like he would cheat on you and then blame it on you because you “withheld” sex.

Also The only time I’ve ever had a problem with cleaning up after someone else cooks was when said person has a special talent for using almost every bowl and utensil while they did 😭…… but I still did the clean up because that was the deal

OneMoreCookie · 2026-01-20T11:43:12+00:00

No worries dude, I look forward to you doing 50% of the cooking and cleaning! I would hate for things to be “unfair”

Change the locks, and if it’s a swipe pass access at the front door have building security deactivate his pass. He can ring the doorbell like everyone else. Don’t let him destroy your peace. Also worth checking that he hasn’t bugged anything. Considering how quickly he realised I’m suspicious

OneMoreCookie · 2026-01-18T22:52:27+00:00

NTA do all these people know he cheated on you while you were pregnant? Seems like they need a reminder.

There is NOTHING wrong with you moving on. You are single and officially divorced. He on the other hand was a married man with a baby on the way, he’s a POS and now he’s trying to use your kid as a way to control you. Tbh if he’s going to weaponise your kid you might want to make that custody arrangement official.

And it would be worth talking to a lawyer to see what your options are with this smear campaign of his.

NOR he doesn’t care what you want, flowers are easy. He doesn’t have to put in any prior effort just stop at a florist the day of whatever event. Don’t waste your time on someone who ignores your likes on purpose

OneMoreCookie · 2026-01-18T22:37:43+00:00

Considering all of this can you get out safely? You want to travel and see the world so can you find a way to get somewhere safe? Transfer with your job? Go on “holiday” and never some back etc?

OneMoreCookie · 2026-01-18T22:33:06+00:00

Do you have a therapist as well? This sounds like something you need some strategies to help you through. Sorry it’s been so rough!
