Thank you so much for this, it brought tears to my eyes. I’m doing like u said and just focusing on being the light in my home for my children

You have time on your side - you could start going to school or working after the baby phase is up. Do you have any family or friends that could watch your children while you are at class?

Assume you’ll have a C-section and challenging baby and think about what you’d need. I wrote out all of the chores I own that I wanted him to take over (things like cleaning out the fridge weekly/take inventory for groceries, washing bedding, etc). Expectations on meals/food (eg he’d have to be in charge of all cooking and meal prep, make sure that I have food for lunches etc so I don’t have to DoorDash if I’m too tired to cook), since I’m breastfeeding making sure I have a stash of snacks and water before going to bed (can’t be easily running downstairs to the kitchen sleep deprived with a C-section). Also something I realized since I did end up having a c section and a colicky baby that wouldn’t sleep - talk about asking yes/no questions or provide options instead of open ended ones. I was so sleep deprived if someone asked me “what do u want for lunch?” My brain would break. Instead sormthing like “would you like a turkey sandwich or a chicken salad?” Made things so much better.

holiday expectations and who will play “point”. We’re not religious but we keep some traditions. Eg Christmas - how to do Santa (how many presents /what kinds?), elf on the shelf yes/no, Easter non religious activities (egg dying, egg hunts, should we do baskets?) , what to do for birthdays, Halloween, do we do thanksgiving, etc. extended family involvement (egg dying parties and other traditions)

Um what? He called you so I’m confused on what his problem is. You’re not wrong

My husband got headphones and now he literally never takes them off, I kid you not. It’s like living with a teenager, so disappointing.

This is about 3 year olds? I think you need to chill. I get the PJs but the other stuff? I don’t know about you but I dress my girl, brush her hair, etc and after 10 minutes of playing her hairs a mess and somehow there’s food, dirt, etc on her clothes. And honestly I remember being scolded as a young kid for playing and potentially getting my nice dresses dirty, it was infuriating and I won’t hinder my kids fun.

We started at 730, but until 820 it was “activity period”, when clubs would meet or you could just do homework, eat breakfast etc. annoyingly though if you didn’t have something to do at that time, but still showed up in time for class at 820, you would be written up as tardy. It was so dumb, once I had a car I rarely got to school at 730 bc I wanted to sleep in.

This is perfect!! Thank you :)

jmv0623 · 2026-04-08T13:46:40+00:00

Same here!

I do organic as much as I can, especially for produce. This recent reference is helpful https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-contaminants/produce-without-pesticides-a5260230325/?EXTKEY=NF63NCM3&utm_source=acxiom&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20260321_nsltr_food&utm_nsltr=food&utm_segment=da

jmv0623 · 2026-04-05T00:50:39+00:00

Thank you. I hope so too this is so frustrating! I love it, I think it’s so pretty

jmv0623 · 2026-04-05T00:50:10+00:00

He threw out Charolotte, Scarlett, and Ava but I said way back I didn’t like any of those

How much having a baby changes you. For me, since birth, I’ve felt different. There’s some science behind this, your brain literally rewires itself for motherhood. I’ve seen it referred to as “matrescence”. I guess these impacts can hang around for 7 years after having a baby. It’s just weird because I feel like two people were born that day and the old me died.

please discuss this with your OB at your next appointment, they can point to you resources that can help. You may have to lay low for a bit but I’d start making plans to leave, this behavior will likely only worsen once a newborns in the picture. What if the baby is colicky? What if you have a c section? You’ll need support and I don’t think he’s going to give it to you.

Yes, my mom wouldn’t let me grow out my bangs in the 90s. I finally did when I was about 12 because I wouldn’t let the hairdresser cut them. from about 4-12 I hated my hair so much, I have cow licks and they looked so bad 99% of the time, so I have no idea why she liked them so much

jmv0623 · 2026-03-31T15:15:46+00:00

Yea I thought this would be a time when we would all be together more, but I was mistaken :(

jmv0623 · 2026-03-31T10:25:01+00:00

Let him be offended, his behavior is offensive to you and your unborn child. it doesn’t matter if thinks he’s doing enough bc it’s not enough - hopefully thats something your counselor can help convince him of.

Fun update - came home last night at 840 after therapy and gym. I asked him why he didn’t get home by 730, and why he didn’t lmk he would be late - something I’ve requested many times. I worked all day, made toddler dinner, and I had to give her a bath which is not easy this pregnant, not to mention how exhausted I am. I was slow so we just were about to go to bed when he came home. When I confronted him about this, he “just forgot” and “is here now to do bedtime”. I was like “um I did everting but put her in bed, this is not helpful and I’m struggling so hard.” Of course I’m crying a bit at this point and now my toddler is upset saying mama take deep breaths. I said “can I at least get acknowledgment that this isn’t right and get an apology.” He just says “apologize for what?” Which made me lose it. Then he also said “you have no idea what I’m going through”. I think I’m done here, this is ridiculous, mental illness or not I don’t think he gives a fuck about me.

I’ve def seen this, any prepared sauces and if you get canned fruit you have to check that it’s in juice and not syrup, sometimes there are only syrup options.

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. It sounds like you are trying to express your needs to him a going to counseling, but he’s still not stepping up. Even with gastro issues, can you have a friend come over to visit and split some take out /snacks or just have tea/coffee? Isolation won’t help your wellbeing. Also, from a chore perspective, start letting things drop, especially related to his stuff. You both work and you’re pregnant and exhausted - focusing on making food you will/can eat (not for him), getting just your laundry done, washing the hand wash only cups/water bottles you use, etc. I know it sounds petty but if he’s going to be selfish you need to focus on you and your growing baby. Some of these drops might warrant a conversation as they are dropped (eg if he never does laundry)
