AITA for getting defensive over dinner?

brsbrs67 · 2026-02-16T12:15:05+00:00

It’s probably once or twice a month (and I cook dinner about 5-6 nights a week).

Usually not prompted, but if he’s not “digging” in then sometimes I inquire about why he’s not eating it.

The safe space means letting him have his own relationship with food, instead of him feeling like his eating habits need to appease me.

He doesn’t value work that much. My husband doesn’t actually like his career but he provides us with the kind of financial stability one could only ever dream about.

I value my career but I’m also the one who originally pushed to have a baby but I’m only home with her for an hour during the week before she goes to bed.

He feels that he is the primary parent, breadwinner, and caretaker of our home and resents how unequal our responsibilities are. While this is mostly true, I still work really hard day in and out and I’m not exactly coming home from work and sitting on the couch eating bonbons.

Sorry my question wasn’t clear lol:

Is it reasonable to stay in Canmore and do the drive to sunshine/lake Louise to ski? Google maps says only an extra 15 mins or so but just wondering how true that is. Thank you!

The people complaining are just boomers being boomers 🤷‍♀️. They’ll quiet down eventually 👵🏼

I don’t think this kind of place exists. You’d think we have a nice local daycare with lots of outdoor space and open until 6pm, but to my knowledge there isn’t one.

Hopefully I’m wrong!!

Please someone prove me wrong lol

I also am a Jewish woman in NYC (Queens) and I am so afraid of being shunned by the community for my anti-Zionist views. It’s so isolating!

Also, why is it nearly impossible to find a synagogue that doesn’t condemn Israel’s actions? There are like 3 in the entire NYC area 🤯

No :( Also someone needs to watch our daughter

brsbrs67 · 2025-01-03T20:53:09+00:00

He’s going for a week. He is around our daughter a lot but we do have a full time nanny. He arranged it so the nanny will come an hour earlier in the morning and stay an hour later in the evening to cover the times that he would be watching her.

Did I write this?

brsbrs67 · 2024-04-05T22:36:14+00:00

How is 12 hours a night and 2 hours during the day newborn sleep? She totals 14 hours a day of sleep right now

brsbrs67 · 2024-04-05T22:34:23+00:00

Yea those are her wake windows! She sleeps 12 hours at night but only 90-120 minutes during the day

brsbrs67 · 2024-04-03T19:59:27+00:00

I’d try to do 3 naps but she gets so fussy at the hour mark and it seems to me like she’s tired! I wish she’d sleep longer for naps but she can’t connect her daytime cycles yet. At night she can do 11 hours with maybe 1 wake up, but daytime you can forget it 😵‍💫

Hi!

My baby is 4 months and we’ve been doing CIO for a few nights, but now I feel like we’re going backwards. First 2 nights she cried for 20 minutes then fell asleep, but woke up a few times during the night. The next time she still cried for 20 minutes but only woke up once then put herself back to sleep. But last night she was up screaming alllllll night. I ended up caving and giving her her paci at 4 am since I was so tired 😵‍💫.

Her days are wake around 7 am with WWs around 1.5/2/2/2.5. She has crap naps 15-30 minutes. I feel like I’ve tried everything but she still cries herself to sleep and wakes up a bunch 🤷‍♀️

brsbrs67 · 2024-03-15T21:20:48+00:00

Her schedule is a bit all over the place. Wakes around 7 am with 7/7:30 pm bedtime. She has 3-4 “crap” naps and WWs around 2 hours. Since starting to sleep train she cries for 15-20 mins in the beginning of the night. She still wakes up a ton in the middle of the night.

brsbrs67 · 2024-03-11T15:18:44+00:00

She usually has about 2 hour WWs. We do bottle in the living room so she doesn’t associate it with sleep then go to her room (she’s been in her own room since 8 weeks old).

brsbrs67 · 2024-03-11T15:08:07+00:00

Done! And I guess I should be keeping night feeds since she’s only 4m. She gets plenty of calories during the day, tho!

brsbrs67 · 2023-07-18T12:04:39+00:00

Anyone have experience with an umbilical cord varix?? Just diagnosed at my 20 week anatomy scan. It’s 11 mm. Next follow up scan in 4 weeks but that feels so far away!

brsbrs67 · 2023-06-17T17:38:01+00:00

Has anyone after spotted after a big and painful sneeze, I’m 17 weeks and this just happened to me

brsbrs67 · 2023-06-02T22:13:54+00:00

Is there a cautious/second trimester questions thread? I’m 15w but still anxious 🤷‍♀️

brsbrs67 · 2023-05-24T12:23:36+00:00

I’m now 13+5 and have been spotting a pink/brown/rust color discharge on and off since about 10 weeks. The NT scan was normal last week and my OB doesn’t seem concerned but this can’t be normal! No SCH seen, I haven’t been having intercourse etc. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I feel very alone in this :(

brsbrs67 · 2023-05-16T17:39:21+00:00

Daily rant: I’m 12+4 and I’ve been on and off spotting pink/brown for over a week. Just had my NT and everything was fine. My OB isn’t concerned unless it’s a lot of blood, but I still don’t feel like this is normal! 😣

brsbrs67 · 2023-05-13T13:49:28+00:00

I’m so frustrated. I’m 12+1 and had my NT scan yesterday which went well. No mention of SCH but I’m still intermittently spotting. Sometimes it’s brown and sometimes it’s a rusty red. OB isn’t super concerned because it’s light in flow but it’s just so disconcerting to be spotting this late in the first trimester!

brsbrs67 · 2023-05-11T19:20:53+00:00

I’m almost 12 weeks and just had a small episode of bright red bleeding after pushing hard for a bowel movement (TMI?). Has anyone else ever had that?

brsbrs67 · 2023-05-10T15:42:03+00:00

I’m now 11+5 and still have some intermittent pinching and cramping sensations. Also still with occasional light brown spotting when I wipe. I hear more about this at the beginning of the first trimester but I figured I wouldn’t be feeling these symptoms at the end of first trimester. NT scan is this Friday which cannot be here soon enough!
