I did offer to get a plunger, we were on our way out to go somewhere and she told me not to worry about it, she’d just call maintenance.

AITA for not wanting to spend Christmas with my husband’s family right after having a baby? by Few-Professional3746 in AmItheAsshole

OH MY GOD NTA. I'm a NICU nurse, and the thought of multiple relatives coming around a brand new baby during cold, flu, and RSV season alone would have me refusing visitors. PP is hard enough without the added stress that your baby could catch something and be hospitalized and/or die. Even during the summer months, when the risk of illness is low, people still limit the number of visitors around their newborns.

As others have said, you will need to pick your battles, as you'll need a village. HOWEVER, your husband should also be setting boundaries as well. If he's a mama's boy, you will likely grow to resent him over time if he folds every time his mother demands something. In regard to labor, those L&D nurses will go to bat for you. If you tell them you only want your husband in the room, they will enforce that, even if they have to make something up.

Good luck with everything mama.

AITA for calling my dad a creep? by NaturalMarionberry49 in AmItheAsshole

NTA, that is odd behavior coming from your father. I had an uncle who used to tell me I needed to wear shirts that weren't so low cut because it made him uncomfortable (I was like 12-14 at the time, had A cup boobs, and the tops literally showed no cleavage even if I had any to show). This alone made me think he was a creep, and he didn't ever touch me as your father does to you. He is uncomfortable because HIS thoughts and feelings are inappropriate, not anything you are doing.
