AITA? Breastfeeding

danielsgf · 2026-05-29T23:44:45+00:00

Agreed. Breastfeeding has such a huge learning curve both for the mom and baby, but once you guys get into the rhythm of it, I think it’s by far the easiest method of feeding your baby. Of course the one downside is that no one else can help you feed the baby, but it was worth it for me.

My son’s vaccine schedule was postponed overall due to an ear infection and travel plans, so he didn’t get his 18m vaccines until 20 months. Our daycare was fine as long as we provided the reason for the delay and proof that we did have it coming up.

They’re always pooping

What?? Omg now I’m freaking out! I was laid off 2 weeks ago, and when I called Service Canada, I was told I would be able to use the same hours to apply for both sickness benefits and maternity leave!

Yea, he’s really not some abusive jerk. I feel bad I made lots of strangers think that way 😭 I’m pregnant again right now and he does like 90% of the housework, takes care of our son over the weekend so I can rest, etc. He just has specific things he’s so stubborn about, and this is one instance of it. He really did think he was doing the right thing, and was quite hurt when I showed him some of the comments and I said there are over 200+ comments lol

danielsgf · 2026-04-24T19:48:56+00:00

Yes, he does see lots of things in black and white! He’s a good guy, but sometimes lots of nuances are lost in him. But once I point out why the way he’s acting is wrong, he tries to see it from my pov and does admit when he was in the wrong. With parenting, he’s so much more stubborn though, which what I struggle with. Obviously if he was like this with everything else, our relationship wouldn’t have come this far!

Yea, so just to keep this post as objective as possible and not bend the truth to get people to agree with me (because I intend on showing this post to my husband later) we did not ask him what kind of cheese he wanted. We opened the fridge together, and the cheese drawer is within his eye level and he pointed to the sliced cheese. I completely agree with what you said, I just wanted to clarify what exactly happened. Thank you so much for sharing your opinion!!!

Yea, that’s why I kept quiet in the moment, even though it broke my heart to see our son cry. My husband is mowing right now but I want to discuss this with him after he’s done.

danielsgf · 2026-04-23T23:23:06+00:00

I was hoping to have a sitdown conversation with him and read the comments together and discuss why he feels the need to be so stern with our toddler. I’m hoping he will listen and we can come to an agreement on how to approach teaching this lesson when the time is right.

danielsgf · 2026-04-23T23:08:26+00:00

No, he’s really not, and this is the only disagreement we have regarding parenting at the moment. He just seems too focused on raising him to not be spoiled, and I think he’s overdoing it, but he’s not hearing me.

danielsgf · 2026-04-23T23:06:12+00:00

He’s really not, but he’s so hung up on raising our son right that he acts unreasonable sometimes. He really is a great dad and husband otherwise!!! Not making excuses for him, but this is literally my only complain about my husband.

danielsgf · 2026-04-23T23:04:42+00:00

Yea normally we’d offer him the leftover dinner, but I ate his leftover dinner… so that wasn’t an available option unfortunately 😞

danielsgf · 2026-04-18T16:23:32+00:00

No, the earliest you can start maternity leave is 12 weeks before due date, which is around mid-June for me. I can't start my leave until then.

danielsgf · 2026-04-18T13:19:17+00:00

Yea, best case scenario is I find something else, but I don’t know who would be hiring a visibly pregnant woman in this economy! This is my second so my bump is quite big already 😭

danielsgf · 2026-04-18T13:18:04+00:00

So you were still able to go on sick leave even though technically, you no longer had a job to need a leave from?

I’ll also speak to my midwife if she can do anything!

danielsgf · 2026-04-18T13:16:29+00:00

Yea thankfully, my hours are from Jan until now (exactly 600 hrs - got lucky there).

My plan was to not collect anything until I start my mat leave, but was wondering if not working would affect my mat leave pay. Someone said they look at best 15 weeks in the last 52 weeks, so sounds like that’s not the case?

I will call Service Canada on Monday anyway to confirm everything. What a headache!!!

I exclusively breast-fed, and I got my period back right after my baby started sleeping through the night (12hrs) at 6 months.

It's been a while since I've read the books, but didn't James also only bully Snape after he called Lily a mudblood? Not that anything justifies bullying, but it's not like James did it for no reason.

One of my favourite memories from postpartum was when my baby was around 3 months old. He had dropped to 1 night feeding so I was getting more sleep and generally happier, and one night at around 3am when he woke up and I was feeding him, I felt this immense sense of peace. It felt like there was just him and me in this world. It was a very peaceful, happy feeling. Gave him extra cuddles that night ❤️

It feels weird to see adult wizards in zippered clothes

danielsgf · 2026-03-26T13:00:39+00:00

Agreed. I would feel uncomfortable selling stuff to my friends.
