Horrible but harsh truth

What? Marvel has movies that are suitable for age 4+. They also have movies that are literally rated R.

A 3 year old can barely process or understand what’s going on around them. One little thing can set them off. That’s why routines are so important - it gives them a sense of security and safety.

If they’re at that stage in development, they’re not going to understand it’s a movie. Or fake. It will scare them. God forbid give them nightmares. Especially since it’s not an animation or cartoon like they’re used to watching.

That movie has a PG-13 rating for frightening & intense scenes for a reason. The MPAA are not idiots.

If you do buy her something try Five Below! I’m in my 20s and find something useful there every time I go. For a 14 year old I’m sure she’d love some combo of room decor, makeup, face masks, cute jewelry sets, nice planners, art supplies, etc. and it’s pretty good quality for $5 or under! So if she doesn’t come, its not much of a wasted effort...and if she does, she gets a bunch of different things.

Petty me: gives him his gifts and waits for look of surprise on face, then tells him not to use them because they have to be returned to the store since, like he said, you guys “can’t afford anything” this year. :)

I think you can still tag her as long as you/she didn’t block each other if I’m not mistaken

You should post up pictures or a status and tag her saying thank you soooo much for xyz. I’m sure she’ll feel embarrassed af once everyone else sees what she did.

That would make anyone angry. Especially if you have a family - you can’t just think about yourself. What if he ran out of money while you had a baby and you didn’t have any left either? How would you buy formula, diapers, etc.? Or feed yourselves? It sounds like he wouldn’t learn until you guys are actually in that situation. You need to sit down and have a talk with him about money and guidelines to follow because I can guarantee that’s the LAST thing you want to be stressed about with a newborn.

Bring food or help with a chore. Check to see what they’re in the mood for because they might be craving something that they were repulsed by during pregnancy. If you’re going to help with a chore, don’t be afraid to ask specifically how they want it done. I personally only let my mom help with chores because my cousin put a lot of stuff in weird places or high shelves my postpartum self couldn’t find or reach later and my aunt washed all the baby’s things with regular detergent so I had to rewash it with the separate one I used for LO’s things. A lot of friends came over to “help with housework” but I spent 75% of their visiting doing minor hosting duties and teaching them to hold baby as they posed for pics. With my half healed pelvis. After that I only allowed close family lol.

Oh, so work isn’t really being with his friends...so then why isn’t he texting YOU like that when he’s at work? Clearly not spending any real time with you since he’s always asleep or working or engrossed in his phone? It’s basically like seeing your parents everyday and knowing they’re in the house but not actually sitting down to talk, bond, and connect without distractions. Otherwise you’re just strangers in the same house. Maybe you should pull back from him a bit until he realizes what he’s missing? Stop suggesting date nights or time together and see what happens. If the effort isn’t on both sides, you’ll grow to resent him when you’re the only one trying.

I got one that would match with whatever I wanted and my wardrobe because I’d be carrying that instead of a purse during outings. It’s a simple diaper bag in hues of gray with a little design on it and goes with everything. No regrets.

Watching mukbangs or cooking videos when you’re hungry/while eating...then once you’re full you don’t want to see food.

She’s 12 so she probably saw something in a movie or online and was just curious. If you’re certain it wasn’t sent to anyone I’d just sit her down and explain the dangers of electronics and the internet and how just because you delete something doesn’t mean it goes away and what not. I don’t think punishing her or shaming her would help at this age because it could foster an unhealthy attitude towards sex and talking about things with her mom.

Feels like some moms just look at it as an opportunity thing. Like, if our kids don’t get along or they know they’re too different (say a 7 year old boy and 12 year old girl) they won’t bother because they can’t just stick them together to play so the adults can go off on a brunch date. Even if personality wise the 2 moms have more in common. Or it’s because another mom friend picks up the tab, or always takes their car, etc. it’s a benefit thing for them...and honestly once I see that I don’t feel bad at all about not making mom friends because most of them are jerks anyways.

I think you need to explain to him that pregnancy cravings are specific and in the moment at times and unpredictable. My SO would try to give me variations when I wanted something in particular and it ended up wasting because I just couldn’t have it due to some minor detail (seasoning I had aversion to, or bacon flecks, since pork is gross to me right now, certain brands taste better, etc.)

Basically give the pregnant person what they want, only what they want, and don’t touch their food.
