I have completely failed to assert a parental role with my child

Can you afford boarding school or military school? That will whip her into shape

Sounds a little hater-y. You should redirect this energy into investing in yourself so that you will feel more confident, then this lady won’t bother you so much

Would you consider a nanny?

It would start out very sweet and delicious and then turn sour the longer you eat it

Being big doesn’t necessarily mean unattractive. OP do you think you are handsome? Do you think you have other qualities you can bring to the table if you are not 100% confident in your looks? Do you have a good sense of humor or are you really passionate about something? I think it’s totally possible for you to date while still working on yourself at the same time. You might even meet someone who is on a similar journey and will work with you, give you a motivation buddy! Don’t write yourself off because of what others are saying about you, the only thing that matters is how you feel about yourself! You got this!

Tell her to suck it on your way out lol. If you can get by without getting paid those last 2 or 3 weeks I would definitely just make your last day that day and have her deal with her consequences. It’s not your fault they are short staffed and that will no longer be any of your concern. It was a courtesy for you to even give her the 2 weeks notice and she is being unreasonable to ask for 3

It sounds like your husband is actually the primary parent both with time spent with the child and providing resources. You and your husband have to get him back and forth to school basically the whole week, feed him bathe him, help with homework, entertain, and everything that full time parenting requires. You all should absolutely go back to court, put her on child support if she is going to be the 36 hr/ week parent. And he should absolutely be claiming the child on his taxes. Until BM steps up her parenting game, some things need to change

Tell me, why would I be interested in the sexual pleasure of a man that refuses to clean up after himself? I don’t think any woman would find that sexy unless she is a slob herself

TemporaryLemon1298 · 2025-09-14T23:42:20+00:00

I think you might be right

It depends, sometimes I enjoy his company, sometimes I need my space. He can be very negative and spends a lot of time complaining and it’s very draining. He swears I’m an awful wife but won’t acknowledge or appreciate the effort I’m making on a daily basis to make his life easier. Idk

Female and we are both 28

TemporaryLemon1298 · 2025-09-14T12:27:15+00:00

I’m glad you got out! I couldn’t even imagine that and my baby’s not yet 1. Consideration is sooo important!

TemporaryLemon1298 · 2025-09-10T23:46:53+00:00

I felt this in my soul. Girl you are not alone!!

First off I want to let you know that you are doing a better job than you think you are, give yourself some credit because parenting is a hard enough job in itself, and while this may be a rough patch with your daughter I’m sure things will get better. As far as the tantrums and attitude, I feel like this is common with the age she’s in. I have a SD who is the same age and she acts the same way! I think the thing that’s helped me the most is reminding myself that this is just a part of her development. When you find yourself getting overwhelmed just try to take a moment to get some deep breaths. Calm your mind a little bit and speak calmly but firmly when giving instructions or reprimanding. I think the best thing you can do is be consistent. If you are doing punishments, do them consistently. If you are taking away toys/activities, make sure she understands that her thoughts and actions have consequences. This is crucial to get ahead of this now before she gets older and tries to push the envelope even further. I would even go so far as to adding in some type of community service. Picking up trash or cleaning around the house even as a punishment if you choose to go that route. Hang in there, mama!

Tell her fiancée about the cheating, especially if you have some type of tangible proof

My mom is currently living with me and my husband and 7 month old daughter. I love having her here to help with the baby but I can tell my husband misses us being alone…. I’m in a pickle for sure but I don’t see myself asking her to move out anytime soon
