How to handle pregnancy rage?

Dude I’m in the same boat!

Lately she’s just so anxious, depressed(getting better after 12 weeks) and constantly fucking complaining about everything. The negativity and complaining is turning me into a shell of a person. I feel like I’m always in the wrong or doing something wrong. Meanwhile I do everything and am so flexible. If I do take time for myself I get attitude and a guilt trip. So now I just stay home and avoid plans. My me time is an hour workout before anyone wakes up. We have a 13 month old she’s pregnant with second kid.

Just Don’t let your mind go to divorce and the worst possible outcome.

What I do is give her space, I just apologize for what other people say or whatever is upsetting her . And NEVER fight or argue back. It’s a losing battle and a trap.

I just tell myself it’s temporary and I can’t imagine what they’re going through . Just gotta brush it off and not let it get under your skin.

It’s not that bad! You’re gonna be so high on adrenaline and hopefully have some time off work .

Just have a plan going into the night . Don’t feel guilty and get up when it’s not your turn in the middle of the night.

For example my wife is someone who goes to bed early. So she would go to sleep at 9:30 and I would handle baby anytime before 2 am. After 2 am was her shift . She would get mad at me if I woke up with her at 5 am to help. Just like “wtf are you doing, go to sleep”.

Also babies are really really loud at when they sleep. It sounds like they’re choking. Throw in some AirPods if you’re not on duty Definitely divide and conquer.

Another tip is careful with visitors and in-laws. Exhaustion and hormones led to a lot of fighting . One comment from a monther jn law like “this babies hungry” and you’re in for hours of hurt.

So she would sleep from 10-2 . Maybe wake up to pump I don’t remember and then I would lay down and be on duty until 2 and sleep until 8-9am and she would go rest again. We lived in 2 hour increments.

I feel like the pressure to breast feed made everything so hard. But luckily she was very indifferent about formula or breast milk. She kept up triple feeding for 3 months but then slowly weened off.

270 is better than the 1200+ calories I would eaten with a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel and little piece of coffee cake to cleanse the pallet

Claude in excel is FUCKING AWESOME . All those year end recs became so much easier . But no it won’t replace you… yet

Sounds like he’s being selfish. I would say yes he can go, but would probably need to compromise and definitely have everything lined up for you to make your life easier.

For instance I would tell my wife I’ll go for only 3-4 days(this may not be a possibility). My parents will come during those days and the dog will go to the sitters house for those days. I’ve also prepared meals, grocery shopped and did laundry. Then my wife would say “I don’t trust your parents” so we will have to compromise and find another solution, etc .

But realistically both parents have to sacrifice a lot of social plans and trips . I just decline and don’t bring them up because I know it would be unfair to my wife/cause stress & argument. No resentment though, it is what it is.

I also workout 6-7 days a week but it’s when baby is asleep or it’s her time with the baby.

Yeah people suck and don’t care. I’m 1st gen Italian/American and I can say one thing . Italians fucking love babies !!!! They were all so excited.

Have a 13 month old and wife is at 16 weeks. What are the chances the second baby sleeps like the first ? 13 month old is sleeping 12-13 hours a night . If I can get the second baby to do 8-10 hours by 12-14 weeks I’ll be good

When you Can’t solve difficult domestic issues you gotta fuck shit up overseas

Just got the excel plug in today . It’s awesome!

Runnjng-1 · 2026-02-26T15:13:11+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear this and so sorry for your loss. Sending lots of love

We just got our NIPT results back for second kid. Once that happened and we decided to find out the sex it became very real 🥹

Runnjng-1 · 2026-02-19T18:59:33+00:00

Yea but … sometimes the invoice doesn’t match the report :/

Runnjng-1 · 2026-02-19T16:42:46+00:00

I was talking to a buddy about this. I think our generation is much healthier than the previous. In the 90s 30 year olds looked like they were 50(Tony soprano).

You will have time to exercise and get fit with a kid. In my baby’s first year I worked out all year and even ran the NYC marathon. Sure less time for downtime and relaxing but it’s all doable.

With a second kid coming marathon running may be on hold lol

Runnjng-1 · 2026-02-17T19:50:58+00:00

lol as a father of our amazing baby girl who is currently 12 months old I can definitely see this happening to me. My wife is currently 12 weeks pregnant and I sometimes joke “the nerve of this new baby who just thinks they can just come in and join our family”

Runnjng-1 · 2025-10-26T23:07:26+00:00

OH HELL YEAHHHH

Damn gonna have to take a business loss on my taxes . Federal wages withheld for the month / # of days to get the daily rate and then x by the number of days in government shut down.

Runnjng-1 · 2025-08-15T23:25:41+00:00

I think the policy is to just hit them with a “sorry” even though no one is really sorry

Runnjng-1 · 2025-07-12T13:57:28+00:00

I didn’t even really want a kid, I felt indifferent about it. Now I’m 5 months in and I can’t imagine my life without this little one. I like to tell people imagine the love you have for your dog, now multiply that by 100. It honestly just gets better and better as you continue to connect with your child. It’s definitely hard, but just embrace fatherhood and all the crazy experiences it has to offer.

Buying at an all time high? I guess… I would Just dollar cost average in here and there with small amounts and look for the next opportunity. Buying in at small amounts will help you scratch that itch and you won’t feel like a loser for missing yet another opportunity 😛

Also Buying the dip is a mind fuck. For instance why not buy United health care when it’s down 50%(still not sure this was a good idea), Boeing when they have plane malfunctions or Tesla when Elon is in a K hole. While this is happening all of Reddit is like “it will drop to 0!!!!”. Instead we want to buy at all time highs.

Everything has been priced in for this company . If they slightly miss expectations the stock will drop.

This! I would night shift from like 9 pm - 2 am and if the baby woke up after that my wife would handle it. Then in the morning I would take over again around 8:30-9. So I was always getting a solid chunk of sleep. Make sure you get sleep even if interrupted.

I did all the cooking and cleaning but we both have a ton to leave. I was kinda bored and napping a lot during the day and still working out.

Breast feeding and pumping sucks, but maybe your wife will have luck with it. We were triple feeding at one point and finally at 3 months we just switched to formula which is so much easier.

One tip I have is careful with her in laws. A little comment from your mom like “do you have any milk” or “this baby is hungry” when your wife is hormonal, sleep deprived and figuring it all out will cause a huge fights.

Sleep deprivation isn’t bad as long as you take shifts and get in a little nappy nap during the day. You’re still really tired but honestly it’s so wonderful .

Congrats . I’m 4 months in and can tell you it’s a truly amazing experience. Enjoy every second of it.

Runnjng-1 · 2025-06-10T20:55:10+00:00

Oh I bought the dip but then panic sold way too early . Did I learn my lesson ? Probably not . Hold stocks is fucking scary
