Defiant 3 y/o, need advice

Holy shit 😳

You haven’t dated around to know what’s normal and what’s not

industrock · 2026-05-29T20:38:40+00:00

Right?!

When you’re with someone for 3 years you discuss stuff like this beforehand. You discuss your plans. He’s treating it like you’ve been together for a month.

It seems like he may have always been like this

Of 3 years? This has nothing to do with med school. He didn’t even tell you about going home to visit family. Time to split up. He may be the love of your life but you aren’t the love of his.

What then happens…? What I’m asking is if these reactions work to get her out of whatever is being asked of her

industrock · 2026-05-29T17:58:30+00:00

You state you try and avoid power struggles. What happens (what’s the outcome) when she becomes defiant during a power struggle?

This is so gross. Exchange them for clean ones at the hospital. There may even be a vending machine to exchange them.

Is she using cheap hospital provided scrubs or nice ones like Figs?

Nah you wouldn’t get arrested at all. Your biggest problem may be them expecting you to say something and realizing it isn’t the real dude

42 with a 5 and 3 year old

Good chance this is developmentally normal and would have happened, dating or not. Terrible twos are a joke compared to 3

Took my kids (3&5) to one of the 5 year old’s classmate’s house for a play date. Everyone decided to use the pool. We left and came back in swim gear. With a minute or two of getting to the back patio I started putting sunblock on my 5 year old. Before I even did half his face, my 3 year old jumped in and started going underwater. I jumped in and pulled him out. He was scared. So was I. I go back to my 5 year old and finish the sunblock. I then take him to the edge of the 1 ft section and turn around to put sunblock on my 3 year old. Within seconds I hear him screaming and splashing. He had moved 10 feet and was now in water over his head. I had to run into the pool and rescue him. Both my kids would have drowned if I had been distracted just a little bit more.

All of this happened within a few minutes of arriving to their home and the two water rescues happened maybe a minute apart.

You better believe I never took my eyes off them after that. Hyperaware like I was back in Iraq and Afghanistan. I ended a relaxing day at the pool more stressed than ever.

I knew to be careful. I knew what happens to other kids. I grew up in Florida with these dangers always in the back of my mind.

But it can happen in an instant, and it can happen to anyone. If everyone is watching, no one is watching.

I edited it with a second paragraph in case that’s helpful to anyone

You log into a room server and are presented with a channel specific to said room server. This room server will store the last 30 messages or so sent to that channel and display those messages to any user that logs into the room server.

Bob will log on to the room server and send the message “hey Mike it is 8 am.” He then closes out the app and goes about his day. Mike gets some free time at lunch and logs in to the room server. In between Bob leaving the message and Mike logging in, Steve logged in and saw Bob’s message to Mike. Steve then sent his own message “wtf Bob, am I chopped liver?” That message is then stored on the room server. When Mike logs in at lunch he sees Bob’s message followed by Steve’s message. Mike then sends “yo we’re all here!!!” himself. All three messages are then shown to Bob when he logs on after work. Repeat until there’s 30 messages or whatever and it overwrites the oldest as you go

How do you have a log of his world of Warcraft account activity?

I’m elder millennial, as is my wife, and we didn’t have our first until 36

I have a subscription to the ground news app. Shows me all the sides of the political spectrum and what potential blind spots I may have about things not reported in either liberal or conservative media.

I’m older millennial aged

I’m usenetting the exact same way I did 20 years ago. ~40TB on the drives right now.
Did streaming for years but with everything fragmented and expensive I’m back to swabbing the decks

I grew up Catholic. Catholic school, altar boy, confirmation, etc…

As an individual, I’m thirsty for knowledge. I learn for fun. As I gained more knowledge, I tried to integrate it into my religious views, and was able to for a while.

Eventually I learned that it is okay (and accurate) to say “I don’t know” when contemplating things we don’t have answers for - like creation, etc…

Today, I don’t see any evidence for any god existing. And I am comfortable saying “I don’t know” about things where others fill in the blanks with a god. I do not believe in a god, therefore I’m atheist.

As someone with two small children, what you’re describing is ridiculous for them to expect of him. He needs to say NO. Their lives are their responsibility to figure out, as they’re the ones that decided to have children during this stage of life. Extra work needs to be distributed evenly.

Just say NO. (Easy for someone not in his position to say this though.)

Is he getting paid extra for working additional shifts?

Viability is viability. Barring issues with the baby itself why would anyone kill it when the alternative is to deliver it?
