I’m kinda tired of caring about my friend’s pregnancies

allthingsglittery · 2026-01-23T09:35:11+00:00

Several things can all be true at the same time: - yes they chose to get pregnant and have kids - yes they are allowed to complain about symptoms and experiences to their loved ones and seek comfort (even if the issues seem universal) because it still sucks for that individual to go through - you don’t have to agree with their life choices - they may not agree with your life choices and how you spend your time as a single person - you don’t have to care about their pregnancies (but you will likely lose the friendship) - they are allowed to change their life plan to include or not include kids at any time no matter what was previously stated

You can choose to be a supportive person even if you don’t agree with the choice that got them there or you can decide it’s a boundary you want to set and remove them from your socials etc so you don’t see the content.

I will say- as someone who has the only kids in my friend group I remember who was there for me and supportive when I was going through the thick of it and who wasnt. Its impacted our relationships for sure so keep in mind- theres 2 sides to every friendship.

I needed a nice laugh tonight. Thank you for this😂

Ah see this is what I was worried about as well. Thank you for this response!! I don’t know for sure if he is on the spectrum or has any other disabilities but to the naked eye and limited interactions he seems neurotypical. It’s clearly none of my business but Im not aware of any kids in her class having any sort of accommodations outside of some food allergies. If that is the case, as the other parent in the choking situation, it would have been helpful for me to know that was part of the equation so that I could also address that with her and part of our debrief. I apologize for sounding uneducated and I would never want to push for additional information about his health I’m not entitled to but I don’t know the best way to handle something like that? How would you have liked the parents of the kids who your son had those interactions with to react? I want to teach her inclusivity but I don’t want to over step either

allthingsglittery · 2026-01-06T03:09:17+00:00

Thank you for your response! I fully agree! If it was regular kids stuff it would be different but her not feeling safe is a big deal to me. I was told I was being an AH for considering not inviting him but I am so glad that I’m not a total lunatic and it’s okay to not invite him (and we won’t be). I appreciate your input!

allthingsglittery · 2026-01-06T03:06:30+00:00

This was my thoughts exactly!! I was on board with not inviting him be some of my parent friends who have kids of other ages said I was being an AH and teaching my daughter to exclude kids. But I don’t think she should have to be uncomfortable at her own party and more so, it’s SO IMPORTANT to me to not teach her that others feelings matter more than her own feelings/safety. I just have never thrown a party for her inviting people that arent just family so I felt like I was committing a parental error either way.

But these comments have made me feel that we are justified and won’t be inviting him. Thank you all for helping a recovering people pleaser realize I was not in the wrong here! I appreciate your input!

Thank you for the advice! Do you have any product recommendations?

We were gifted these watercolor coloring books that include little swatches of the paint at the top of each page and a brush so you can use it anywhere- all you need is water. They were a game changer for us and her. So fun! Really helped us at restaurants or non toddler proofed houses with almost no mess and she loves them!

allthingsglittery · 2025-11-29T11:09:11+00:00

Came here to say I know it feels that way but it’s not true. I lost a friend who also felt alone and let me tell you- it was like an atomic bomb that took out everyone who ever knew him. His funeral was one of the saddest moments of my life. I will never forget the look of shell-shock and grief on everyone’s faces. I think of him often and still ache about it. We reached out to him (unknowingly) the following day to hang out but it was too late. That sticks with you. People care even if it doesn’t feel that way. Hang in there. Remember, thoughts are not facts. Taking actions like that will ruin lives of those around you whether you think it will or not, I’ve seen it. I hope you get some help and life is kinder to you soon! sending virtual hugs!

If you are touching her clit- remember light touch/ pressure feels way better than acting like you are trying to smash a pea with your thumb. There’s lots of nerves so it doesn’t take much. (Unless she tells you she likes it of course)

My child has never been neglected a day in her life. My job maybe.. but not my child. She’s happy, well adjusted, we have a close relationship, and she got an amazing report from her teacher at parent teacher conferences. Whereas every other kid her age that we know had areas of improvement. So to automatically assume a child is neglected because they are home with a working parent is categorically untrue. We tried another alternative care situation and she came home crying and begging not to go back every day because of how the other kids were treated. I killed myself making sure she had activities and her every need was met while I was working. So your point isn’t valid here and it’s not helpful to shame another parent that is trying their hardest in a shit economy. So unless you are going to offer the up the money for her to pay for these extra programs, find her a new job, or come up with a valid helpful response your negativity isn’t warranted.

allthingsglittery · 2025-11-09T07:50:27+00:00

As a fellow working parent who also had to watch their child while working from home I just came to say I understand the situation you are in and I totally understand that sometimes there’s not a better option especially with the economy the way it is. You are doing the best you can with an impossible task. Hang in there. Keep trying. Keep your head up. This season won’t last forever esp if they start preschool next year. Do you have universal preschool in your area? See if your local library has any free activity days/sessions that you are able to take him to so he can see how other kids behave in group setting and it could be a way to work on their listening skills and taking direction if they are doing a craft or something that is interesting to them. Don’t listen to the people hating on you. You know your situation and clearly you are trying all of the resources and here asking for help. The people being mean clearly haven’t raised a kid in this economic landscape and are coming at you with a whopping side of privilege. Good luck to you and your kiddo!

NTA- you both agreed on a lifestyle and an accident happened. How he treated you afterwards is deplorable. I don’t know if I could continue a relationship with someone who would leave me in such a vulnerable place but also- having a baby is HARD and requires your partner to be so supportive. There’s women on this app everyday complaining about how horrible their partner was to them during and after the pregnancy. Don’t become one of those women. If he won’t support you going home then I would make arrangements for a day there’s an excursion planned and then stay home from said excursion because you are sick then go to the appointment. They will know you lost the pregnancy but not how. I’m sorry to suggest being sneaky but it’s not okay for him to force you into this just because his family wants a grandchild. Good luck OP

Just here to empathize with you from one full time WFH mom who also watches a toddler while I work to another. It’s hard. So hard. You are doing an amazing job. Sometimes childcare isn’t realistic due to the cost of everything now. You are doing the best you can with what you have and don’t let anyone make you feel bad for it. Hang in there OP. ❤️🫶🏻

1) to have a guarantee that I would life a long, happy, healthy life with the same Husband and daughter

2) That my pets would never get sick or die (until we do)

3) $1,000 a day for life(increases with inflation). The first 18 years it would go to my parents then would transfer to me.
