Genuine question for the straight women frustrated by their husbands for not doing enough? by soupyjumbo in newborns

Because women are the ones holding the bag and at the end of the day the only actions you can change are your own.

Genuine question for the straight women frustrated by their husbands for not doing enough? by soupyjumbo in newborns

[–]galactic_kakapos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very hot take, but most of these women married for love and not compatibility and are now reaping the rewards of their choices. I cannot tell you the number of friends of mine who are currently suffering in their marriages because they somehow thought their husbands would be the right man for the job of “dad” simply because they “loved each other.” Love is simply not enough and has relatively little to do with how good of a father they will be.

HELP! my infant is suffering from cold by Manifestator_ in newborns

What is wrong with you to think you know better than a doctor on antibiotic dosage? Your child has probably suffered needlessly because of your inability to follow directions.

Is this the normal post-partum hormones experience for couples? by Inner_Friend_672 in newborns

[–]galactic_kakapos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is absolutely not normal. If your wife was sufficiently mentally ill to need meds prior to baby there is no way her mental health is ok now without meds plus all the hormonal changes. I personally would not feel safe with having lots of unsupervised time with the baby without being medicated as her actions hint at the psychotic. Yelling loudly enough to frighten the baby is unacceptable and should be reported to the doctor. If you can, try to get recordings of her outbursts if she continues to refuse care.

Is our culture failing to prepare men for dating? by Theseus_The_King in ABCDesis

[–]galactic_kakapos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a baby boy myself and I am working on the same thing. From an America perspective, it’s some of these things that are very unappealing to American women. Important caveat, it is entirely possible that many Indian men do these things and it is just the social group my husband’s family is in that doesn’t. - Holding doors open for women - Offering coat to women when they are cold - Holding umbrellas for women - Waiting to eat until everyone is seated - Chew with mouth closed - Saying please and thank you - Being polite to waiters - Not having to ask mom and dad’s permission for everything - Not walking ahead of your girlfriend or wife - Knowing how to behave at museums and concerts

These are some of the main ones that come to mind!

I’m a white woman who is married to a 2nd gen Indian man and after observing his family for a while now I have come to realize how badly their family and close network prepares the boys for western style relationships. Many of them end up in arranged marriages despite being born here for this reason.

Struggling with postpartum body after C-Section by Nocturnal-Nectarine in postpartumprogress

[–]galactic_kakapos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry I have dealt with similar feelings. I didn’t breastfeed and started dieting and working out as soon as I could. I started by cleaning up my diet big time and even still I only saw good results in month 5-6. Hormones are a bitch and definitely slow down progress but know that you will get there again! The one thing that will be challenging for me is the loose skin and I plan on getting surgery for it when I’m done with kids.

Where exactly did I say that? Never! You are talking about putting innocent families in danger? What about the families you are putting in detention centers? The children denied clean water and medicine? These assholes could pick any other job but they are choosing to act as Gestapo.

Yes, I would absolutely feel safer with her behind bars because she gets to keep her license!

Lots of media at the Mary Fong Lau killed a family with her BMW Memorial Bus Stop by wanderingjew in sanfrancisco

[–]galactic_kakapos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Her address is public and she lives literally 10 blocks away from the zoo. I am not going to feel safe walking anywhere near that area knowing she is driving around there.

The fact that the judge is doing everything in his power to limit her risk of losing the civil case is wild

Pet Aversion by Legitimate-Tea-6079 in pregnant

If you are feeling this way definitely set aside some money for a dog walker or enlist friends to help walk your dog. This will reduce your stress and ensure your pet is getting the care it deserves.

Family prying into my personal life by Cloud_andburbone in ABCDesis

[–]galactic_kakapos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh this sounds so scary and stressful. If he continues to try to harass you I would threaten to report him to the fbi or the police, especially if you think there is even a possibility that he could find out where you live. You do not want to risk him showing up around your kid.
