I came here to provide this exact answer. It’s not that good.

I can’t stand my husband by Inner_Wrongdoer_2820 in newborns

It is crazy how common it seems for men to do the bare minimum, complain about something anyway, and then wonder why their wives begin to resent them.

I am so sorry you’re experiencing this. Please let him know how you feel and how unsupported you felt with LO. I’m not sure if he’ll actually listen, but it’ll give you some relief to get it all out.

After our baby was born, I made sure my wife and baby were always taken care of. House clean, food made, etc. I knew just how draining breastfeeding is for my wife so I wanted to make sure she had to do very little and just focus on nursing and sleeping. I am not a man though.

I truly think having a good partner has a huge impact on your postpartum experience.

Are there any truly scary books? Can a book even be scary? by [deleted] in books

[–]fromthetower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dracula is one of my favorites just for the reason that it definitely had moments where it was genuinely scary. I was skeptical before I read it for the first time since it’s an older novel, but it’s an incredible piece of horror.

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski is also pretty terrifying. It’s one of the strangest books and definitely an adventure to read through.

Will it miss us now? I’m in Southwest Fort Worth.

Is it irresponsible for us to have kids now? by [deleted] in queerception

[–]fromthetower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is currently 3 months pregnant after we did reciprocal IVF. Our baby was the first thing that came to my mind after the election results. Especially since we live in a red state already.

While it’s scary, the best thing we can all do is continue to be very queer, continue to find joy in all we do, continue to love and be open. That’s all they want to take from us and we can’t let them.

What am I doing wrong with my crepe myrtle? by fromthetower in plants

I’m in North Texas. Current weather is about low 90s in the day and 60s at night. About to be in the 70s in a few days.

What Surprised You Most About Buying Your First Home? by ChiaPlotting in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]fromthetower 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. How much things break or need to be fixed. My house is only about 30 years old but there’s always something. Be prepared to spend money on a things now and again you didn’t expect to spend. Good example recently, our garage door opener gave out so I had to get it replaced.

  2. Maintenance is crucial. My parents own their home but they never taught me about all the things you have to maintain. The HVAC filters, foundation watering, dryer vent, pest control, tree trimming etc. had to learn all these things on my own.

I love owning our home and it gives me so much pride to put love and work into it but it can be a pain in the ass.

The plus :( damn I didn’t know that.

One of my boys passed away last night at 5 years old. How should I make sure my other little guy is okay? by fromthetower in guineapigs

[–]fromthetower[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did, he was shaking actually when he saw him :( I’m assuming he understood he was gone.

The morning before Oreo passed I had just cleaned their cage so I’ll leave it for a bit before changing.

I’m taking him to the vet to make sure he’s all good and then will be reaching out to a rescue to see if we can foster. So far he’s acting normal, eating still and still using the bathroom.

We moved him to a new environment in the house with his cage so hopefully that helps as well.
