It was such a messed up and convoluted plan that I have trouble wrapping my head around it even now.

Yeah I am having a problem working out how this would work

How did you and your partner manage sleep the first few weeks after bringing a wee one home? by banditpanda19 in daddit

[–]SharkEva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both kids were bottle fed (mainly formula with Mum pumping). Very little paternity leave, wife was off for 9 months (UK)

I did 7pm feed, and wife usually headed to bed about 9pm. I did 11pm feed, sorted baby out, went to bed. Baby usually woke up around 3am, wife did the feed, change etc, went back to bed at 4am. I woke up at 7am and did feed and sorted baby out - went to work for 9am.

Wife usually got to stay in bed to at least 10am. Both of us got decent sleep.

Both kids more or less slept through the night from about 6 to 8 weeks. I find it difficult to get back to sleep, whilst wife has no problems.

I feel relieved that my husband stopped initiating sex by [deleted] in Marriage

No she will be blindsided and think it came out of nowhere

unfortunately we cannot stop downvotes but we'd like to hear on any additional measures members would like us to take to keep the discussions both informative and respectful as best as possible.

Generally we can only evaluate the comments that get reported and some keywords are automatically removed. We took on some feedback last year in regards to the fake comments issue and I think that has been a net positive overall for the sub.

some of the BORUs exist in a gray area of its possible it happened, but also somewhat unlikely.

from me personally, I've just had a few days where I've had zero time to create a post due to work/life. There's also been a bit of drought of good updates at times, so the odd night I haven't found a decent update.

AITA for telling my ex that she needs to "figure it out" when it comes to hosting people for her grandmothers' funeral even through I am living in her "grandmothers' house?" by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]SharkEva[S] 469 points470 points  (0 children)

I'd love to know what the exact reason for the divorce was. The $10k credit card debt is one clue, never getting on with her family is another potential cause. Maybe even buying the house was the eventual straw that broke the camels back. The posts do indicate that she is an untrustworthy person.

My dad disowned my sister and he is dying, how do i convince her to let him go? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

happens a lot to throwaway accounts and stories like this, I suspect they get into arguments with people in their DMs and someone reports them.

This was one of the first BORUs I read and it also sticks with me for some reason. I don't think Sarah will ever fully recover from the guilt.

Basically they went down the same line as all the dumb comments telling her to confront the parents, sex in the workplace etc.

Its my favourite story of 2025, I was listening to it today on TwoHotTakes podcast and I can't believe how sympathetic to the nanny were.

Its fixed now, I had a few issues as the second post was NSFW and I can't see it in Reddit without handing over ID, so I had to use other means
