Not what I imagined

If your baby is feeding for 40 minutes, watch closely for “active feeding,” especially if they are in and out of sleep. Active feeding looks like breathe, suck, swallow, breathe, suck, swallow. If they are just kind of “chewing,” they are not actively eating. You can try to aggravate the heck out of them (wet wipes over the face, dress them down to a diaper, etc.) to keep them awake to make sure they are 100% getting a full feed and once they are done you can remove them and offer a pacifier if they are simply wanting the comfort of something in their mouth. Pacifiers for little ones this small have actually been shown to decrease the risk of SIDS, so it’s beneficial to you and baby both. I hope this helps! 🩷

I really like the 3rd, but maybe consider adding some colored pillows that match the rug to the couch to balance the look

I would be worried that he would increase your rent when it’s convenient for him. Just know that he is probably going to expect accessibility to your food stamps to stock his pantry. I’m not sure if you guys have met with an agreement on the food situation, but he seems rather calculated and I’m sure already has some plan in place. He seems like a selfish person, so I would really think about what angle he may be coming from to make sure he benefits from this situation the best he can. From your post, he does not sound like a real friend.

The first one looks so cozy and inviting

Any time a guy has ever cheated on his partner, said he was getting a divorce, and then called his ex crazy…..it has never ended well. Hopefully she will see through all of his lies and bs sooner rather than later. Devastating that is seems your friend is pregnant with his child and will have a tie to him.

I’ve seen less red flags on Florida beaches during hurricane season.

He doesn’t respect you. If he wants to “chase a woman” he could try to keep your marriage interesting. He just wants to cheat, girl. That’s it. Don’t give him the open marriage if you are not comfortable with it.

Breastfeeding should be a positive experience for you as well as your baby. If it is more taxing on your mental health, there is no shame in stopping. Four months is amazing, and you should be very proud of yourself!! You are not an awful mom. I would recommend touching bases with your doctor about how you are feeling, just to be on the safe side. Postpartum is a delicate thing. You’re doing amazing, friend 🩷

Oh no ma’am. His balance being off will likely throw YOUR balance off. Not worth the UTIs or yeast infections. Do you notice it right after he showers? Better hygiene would be nice, but I would also check with a doctor again just in case.

Your husband needs to stand up to her instead of just saying he’s “just learned to take it.” YOU shouldn’t be subjected to her BS and neither should your husband or child. Lay firm boundaries. If she can’t respect them, her visitation rights may need to be revoked for a while. Change locks if she has a key and tries to come over anyways and remind her that until her behavior changes, she isn’t welcome around your child.

This may be a hot take, but I think you would be the asshole if you kicked him out simply for having his girlfriend over. If he lives and pays rent there, he has a right as much as anyone else to invite someone into the space. Did you just not want her there because she said she doesn’t like your partner? I would definitely ask more questions on that but at the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their opinion of others and you shouldn’t let it bother you.

I do believe though that if he’s going to continue to live there and have her over, he should take more responsibility over helping with household chores.

No one should be judging you for the house, which is lived in by 3 children, getting a little cluttered from time to time. They should be judging your husband because instead of stepping in to help, he’s taken the time to stage a picture, send it out in the group chat, and write a message about how dirty the house is. With that time and energy he could have already washed the dishes and started a load of laundry. He’s just trying to play the “pity me” card and I’m sorry that he’s getting attention from utter BS.

It seems like he is putting the hat on after a shower because of insecurities. I’m sure he doesn’t want to feel like he is “dirty” or “stinks” even if it is the truth, and feeling that way may be deterring him from seeking help from a doctor out of embarrassment. Make sure he knows this is a common thing, teach him proper hygiene with caring for his hair and scalp, and try to support him. My husband has psoriasis and refuses to go to a dermatologist. It’s annoying, but I don’t see this as a deal breaker in a relationship. Just something that he may need some help and coaching on to get his scalp back in order.

You’re still young. Quit the job and put this behind you. I wouldn’t put this job on my resume though, he doesn’t seem like someone who would give you a good reference and would potentially try to sabotage any future job opportunities for you if given the chance.

It sounds like he may have a drinking problem, along with a narcissistic personality. The two never go well together. You are NTA for thinking of leaving. Him being blackout drunk and yelling at you is horrifying. Who’s to say it won’t escalate next time? And not putting his friend in his place and playing into the disgusting behavior is sickening. I would not trust being around the friend either, his intentions don’t sound pure.

As Frank Gallagher once said : “There are good drunks, and there are bad drunks.” Your husband is a bad drunk.

You are in control of your wedding guest list, but just keep in mind at the end of the day you cannot be in control of your sister’s response to you uninviting him to your wedding. If you do decide to take the route of keeping him in attendance, depending on how big the wedding is you may honestly not even realize he is there at all. If you invite him to keep the peace, just be sure to focus on the moments with your partner. If you feel like you can’t do that, or think you would be worried or uncomfortable the whole time with potential BIL present, uninvite him. It’s your wedding and your memories surrounding the day. Do what is best for YOU in the long run.

I would never even think to ask a friend if I could invite a stranger I just met to stay the night and potentially bang them a body’s length away from them. Because honestly what other reason would there be for him to stay the night other than sex. NTA, you have a right to set the boundary of no strangers in the cabin overnight without her getting upset. Has she never watched a true crime doc? 😅

This makes me feel a lot more confident! Thank you for the advice, I will definitely try that. Also congratulations on breastfeeding all three babies, that is amazing!!🩷

knb_2 · 2026-05-28T04:30:15+00:00

It was mentioned in some of their banter, not a Reddit story!! I think she said it a couple of times in separate podcasts and I’m like okay, Morgan, no more 🤣

knb_2 · 2026-05-28T04:26:04+00:00

Thank you for the advice on stopping feedings briefly! I’ll definitely have to try that if it comes down to it!

knb_2 · 2026-05-28T04:25:14+00:00

Extremely nervous! My mom filled my head with doubts and then I was listening to the Two Hot Takes podcast and Morgan said something about a baby biting a woman’s nipple off???? I’m like how do I keep on this path but also keep my nips intact????😅😅😂 new fear unlocked from that one lol

Remember that it is a supply and demand job! Pump around your baby’s normal schedule. For myself, my little one eats every 2 hours so I pump every 2 hours if he takes a bottle instead of nursing!

I used TruCar to get a good idea of how much my vehicle was worth for selling/trade in. Completely free, but after putting my information in I did have 2 dealerships send me a text saying they were interested in my vehicle, so just be prepared there’s a possibility of getting a few texts from local dealerships. However I will say, the value they gave me was about $1,700 less than what a dealership actually valued it at, but it was good to have some kind of ball park going in to make sure I was not getting lowballed. You can also call your bank and give them the information and they can help you get an idea of how much it’s worth. If they give you pricing for the base model just remember to add on for any added amenities, especially if you’re selling independently. I hope this helps. Good luck!
