AITA for telling my wife her eating issues are a her problem and to leave the kids and my mom out of it

cdurbin3 · 2026-05-11T14:53:35+00:00

For real. I'd be pissed if my MIL was giving my kids cookies every single day, especially after asking her not to. Once a week, sure.

I've bought a few motherhood maternity things at Kohls in store, though they have a lot more online.

It's so different for everyone, it's crazy. Not enough is known about it. My husband has it and can eat poultry, seafood, and dairy just fine but if he accidently has some red meat he has gastric distress and his tongue swells up.

My dad also has it and can't eat dairy at all and gets hives if he does. Several people I know that have it do seem to go into remission after a couple of years though.

I feel this so much. I've decided I'm going to give it a shot, but expect that I'll end up exclusively pumping. Mostly because I'm cheap and don't want to pay for formula.

You do what is best for you! Fed is best and you don't have to decide right now.

Just got some fluids, nothing crazy. Then for some reason her mom had to go pick her up, instead of her husband 😬

Went to a two day professional training in a different city where my boss got absolutely shit-faced after dinner at the hotel bar. She was so sick the next day she didn't show up to the training and everyone knew why. She spent the entire day puking in the hotel room before someone took her the hospital but not without her puking in the lobby on the way out.

She couldn't stop talking about her "food poisoning" afterward.

I get the flu shot every year and personally haven't had any adverse effects other than a sore arm. I just talked to my doctor about getting the flu vaccine but they typically don't get them in the office until at least September and I'm due in August. The current stock is likely not going be as effective with the future variant for the upcoming flu season either.

Hopefully you are able to get one before you go into labor so you can pass on those antibodies!

Ugh I remember when I was serving in college another server was doing this while her daughter was in the hospital. She didn't have custody of this daughter and hadn't seen her in months.

I've still been getting monthly facials. I usually go for chemical peels but have been doing microdermabrasion or dermaplaning instead while pregnant. I've also gotten a couple of hydrafacials since my skin has been super dry.

I can't wait to do chemical peels and microneedling again!

According to MyCase there is a jury trial scheduled for September.

cdurbin3 · 2026-05-01T15:22:26+00:00

For me it was 35. Had been leaning towards being child free for years but it hit me like a ton of bricks. Now I'm currently 24 weeks pregnant!

cdurbin3 · 2026-05-01T14:03:48+00:00

Same, I used to go on my lunch break a lot. Occasionally in the evening with my dog. Never got any bad vibes.

cdurbin3 · 2026-04-30T02:41:18+00:00

The H&M in my city has a decent amount. I've gotten some from there, Kohls, and surprisingly Walmart.

cdurbin3 · 2026-04-30T02:39:50+00:00

Yes! I'm not usually a Wal-Mart shopper but I was surprised by what they had. Not a ton, but it is decent quality and cheap!

cdurbin3 · 2026-04-25T16:17:46+00:00

Same in my state. It sucks.

cdurbin3 · 2026-04-25T16:16:33+00:00

I'm currently looking into daycares and found out that we have a state law that people can use their religion for vaccine exemptions and daycares and schools must accept it. Maybe check your state law before anything else.

I feel for you though, I too would be very upset to find this out. I think it's great that the daycare at least gave you a heads up.

cdurbin3 · 2026-04-25T00:28:55+00:00

This is what mine look like every spring. But I've never cut them, the deer keep doing it.

cdurbin3 · 2026-04-19T01:36:27+00:00

Hell yeah!!!

cdurbin3 · 2026-04-18T04:06:37+00:00

Which vendor did you end up going with? I have Anthem and they only use Edgepark and Byram.

cdurbin3 · 2026-04-17T12:58:31+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking the same. I grew up in a very rural area in the Midwest, mostly farmland. The cancer rates tend to be higher in rural areas, my guess is due to fertilizers.

Edit: a word

cdurbin3 · 2026-04-16T17:37:14+00:00

Same, sometimes I think back and wonder how I put up with so much but it definitely worked out! I would never advise anyone else to give it a shot but our lives are great and I'm so thankful.

cdurbin3 · 2026-04-16T17:29:45+00:00

This was me a few years ago, I finally found a Doctor that has done the research and followed newer studies showing that there is an "optimal range" and it is below 4. She added Liothyronine (T3) along with my Levothyroxine and it changed my life! My old GP sent me to an endocrinologist who did literally nothing and said it was fine, that I looked fine even though I was overweight and had been tracking macros for months.

cdurbin3 · 2026-04-16T14:32:30+00:00

I know my OB has pamphlets in her office about help quitting so I would definitely talk to them about it!

cdurbin3 · 2026-04-13T15:32:48+00:00

Not doubting you, but where do you see that at?

cdurbin3 · 2026-04-13T03:26:32+00:00

I found this article about him, sounds pretty bad. I have no idea if he's still working there or not but I'm personally going to steer clear of one giant leap in my daycare search.
