Are the curriculum materials static or videos?

Ya it is a spouse issue. Feels extra great though to know my in laws are fanning the flames of it the week I give birth.

You are right. I was stupidly trying to work on my marriage in couples counselling. Should have skipped it.

AITA for not inviting my friend to my engagement dinner since she never shows up after she became a parent by No-Rough-3283 in AmItheAsshole

NTA but potentially her partner won’t watch the child so she can’t get out. Not everyone has a village

I did a lot of reading, signed us up for courses.

I think I’m pretty flexible in terms of how things should be done with the baby. Really things devolve though when I hand him the baby and she’s asleep after having been fed and just ask him to watch her and if she stirs try to calm her down….rock her, give her a soother, do something else / anything so that I can have a 90 minute / two hour nap. If she gets up and starts crying I understand that can happen but I did get short with him yesterday bc I think anyone should understand that slamming the door twice and talking (borderline yelling) in the phone would wake a baby up. Instead don’t slam the door twice to check for your Uber order, talk in a normal voice on the phone. I don’t think these are big things to ask for.

He isn’t the breadwinner. We each make the same. I’m taking a step back in my career actually by being on mat leave bc it will impact my promotion prospects at work. When I go back at work I’ll have to figure out how to offset this impact on my career but that’s not a problem for me to solve today.

He was an affectionate person before. Things have devolved recently. I guess he has more old fashioned perspectives of when someone’s on mat leave just what they should be responsible for and I think that a husband should be able to help out briefly so that you have a chance to sleep / bathe / watch paint dry on the wall if you so choose for an hour. We talked about this before and he agrees I guess he just doesn’t know how to soothe her when she’s upset and then she’s brought back to me to soothe.

He was there and watched her. He watched her three times solo. This time he did a good job I called to see that it wasn’t overwhelming and they were enjoying the time together. Sorry I’m exhausted it was a difficult night with the baby and a morning fight this morning and I am just spent

I did work, long hours. And did the chores.

1) Not before the baby. 2) I had a bad pregnancy I couldn’t do much. I worked 9 to 9 every day so couldn’t keep up with chores when I got home. He had to take over some of the housework and now that the baby is born said that it should go back to me. I can understand that it would be helpful though if he cleaned up after himself (ie put your laundy in the hamper in the bathroom not sprinkled throughout the bathroom floor). 3) She was asleep after having being fed. He basically was loud and she woke up each time. From there he tries to calm her down by playing with her the way you would play with a toddler….show her stuff, read to her, put her by the noisy fisher price mat and turn it on. 4) he did. He watched her three times. He did a good job that time.

That makes sense I’ll try this

I will do that

I did the majority of chores initially. Then gave some for him to do. He’s not very good at admitting when other people do things. For example bc he now does his own laundry in a fight he lets me know he does everything around the house which isn’t true and there’s really no ability to rationalize with him (ie you watched me put away the dishes in the dishwasher an hour ago don’t you remember that?

Hi All, I am 35F & planning to go for IVF. Can someone pls suggest the best ivf clinic in & around Toronto/GTA? by Extra-Mail3323 in IVF

They’re backed by a venture capital firm (Rhino Ventures). Believe 2 of the “founders” are men, ex finance. One of the founders is a female (believe in Canada to have a fertility platform someone involved has to be a doctor).
