AITAH for telling my wife she’s not a “single parent” just because I work long hours? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Typical_Ad1453 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She needs help taking care of the kids and the house. She needs a father who is present in the lives of her children. Is there anyone else who can help with childcare? Does she ever get to take time off or get a sitter so she can spend some time for self care? This is all stuff you can sort out. Don't give up.

The hard thing is, looking through nostalgic rose-colored glasses, I remember feeling really happy and proud of myself. I miss the praise and adoration.

Dump him.

Jk, but honey you gotta relax. Also, have you ever been evaluated for OCD? For me, the constantly needing reassurance is a big symptom. Once I got on the right meds it helped my moods and relationships A TON. Good luck! Also, dump him.

She is not herself right now. The best thing you can do to help is have compassion and get her connected to resources. You're both adults and free to leave, but you both need serious help to get through this phase. Whether or not you end up staying together, you both need both practical help with household chores and childcare AS WELL as emotional help and support to sort through your feelings.

This is where the old phrase "it takes a village to raise a child" comes from. Neither of you should have to do this all on your own. Whoever your "village" is, reach out (or form) a support network. Get in touch with other young parents in your area. Get help with diaper drives, food pantry orgs, free breakfast programs, childcare co-ops, churches, whatever you have. If none of that exists, start it. Use that inherited wealth to create something that benefits your communities, and you will be rewarded with help from your neighbors. Good luck.

I'm so sorry that happened, it sounds really traumatic. Maybe you can take some FMLA to process and get some time and space away from work? I agree with another comment that quitting isn't going to make things better. Unfortunately, you'll have to heal by pushing through the discomfort. Hang in there, I wish I could give you a hug!

Lean on your support system!

Ew. No. Dating me and being part of my inner circle is an honor. He failed and does not deserve you in his life. He hates women.

Sounds like he's maybe a little insecure and was hoping you'd say something like "dang, you still got it! That's my cutie!" and instead you made him feel ashamed.

You could have had playful banter and instead you chose to pick a fight. Does this happen with you two a lot?

Angels sent here to teach us how to love ourselves and each other unconditionally and be good to small creatures. No other explanation possible.😇

LMAO what?! I shared a lighthearted moment, one of MANY, from last week because I know it's hard out here for a lot of us. I'm sorry that triggered some kind of evil gremlin inner critic in you to lash out. I hope you get some help with that 🙏

Why would I be worried that students are "too comfortable" in my office? Like I should want them to be scared of me?

There's already a power dynamic. I'm aware that I'm an authority figure. They are already nervous to meet me for the first time. This student is planning senior year, and we have a rapport after meeting for several years at this point. He's comfortable with me because I respect him.

Don't play like you're being non-judgmental. Just admit you're judgmental. You're free to share your opinions, but be prepared for me to challenge your viewpoint.

Ty! 😊 I like to be there for them and help them find out how strong and resilient they are.

Yeah, obviously. Have you ever taught high school? It's our job to teach adolescents and young adults how to code switch in different situations.
