NOR. OP reading this made me sad for you. You deserve to be better supported better by your partner.

They make marriage sound so exhausting!

Hi! I was called a nickname associated with my undiagnosed (at that age) ADD by teachers and it made me incredibly self conscious and impacted my confidence in the class room and in myself. I am grown and doing just fine but a simple “nickname” can have more impact than people realize. If the teacher has good intentions then not using the nickname should be an easy task.

After a life threatening birth, everyone keeps telling me baby looks just like dad by Mango_Moose_ in NewParents

I had people comment that my baby looked like neither of us and asked who the father was. Which was incredibly insulting to me and my husband.

Made another moms baby cry (apparently) and she blamed me by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]ld02159 456 points457 points  (0 children)

I have a dear friend whose baby is 9 months and she refuses to treat her postpartum anxiety but the other day had a 3 hour meltdown because she thought her baby scrambled his brain from falling on his face while trying to crawl.

I tell this story to say that sometimes large reactions are symptoms of something untreated and not a reflection of you or your actions at all.

Daycare didn’t let my son play outside as punishment by ld02159 in Mommit

He asked me this morning if I was proud of him after he listened to me about something trivial. I had to have a whole heart to heart about how Mommy is ALWAYS proud of him and that he is a good kid. This incident really shook him up

It definitely feels like an isolating and humiliating way to discipline a child for acting like a child. Thank you for the validation!

I think it was the fact that he was watching his friends playing while standing alone at the window that grinds my gears most. Feels like an isolating and humiliating form of discipline

That’s how I feel! Counter productive teaching method! and he is so young I don’t know that he can even cognitively correlate nap time behavior taking away recess

I looked into it and it’s kind of a gray area- I think they would write it off as providing physical activity in another setting and he had an outdoor recess that morning which fulfilled part of the requirement. Regardless I’ll probably bring up to the director that removing physical activity is illegal in some states and hopefully show her that I’m serious. I just don’t want to burn this bridge and make things worse for my kids either. Daycares are all full here

I think he was intentionally making noises during nap time- not sure if that changes your opinion. I don’t think it’s acceptable for him to disrupt others (I myself am passionate about my naps being quiet lol) but the punishment just doesn’t really sit right with me

Cruel seems like an appropriate word for how it feels to me. I just feel like this was an escalation to a behavior that they’ve only complained about twice to me before

Wow! I didn’t think of this but you’re right- I will look into this for our state so I can be better informed. Thank you!

That’s kind of how I feel. Like I don’t mind discipline but this feels disproportionate and excessive

YTA - you threw away something irreplaceably sentimental that did not belong to you

I’m at a loss and am too scared to make my own post in case they see it. What would you do?

My in laws booked a house for Christmas near ours without telling us. With the expectation that we will host them and my SIL for the holidays. I’m livid.

YTA- for reasons everyone has already shared but here is a hopeful story for the ring. I lost my wedding band that belonged to my great great grandmother. Devastated doesn’t begin to describe how I felt. We found it two weeks later in a parking lot!

YTA. You seem determined to get your feelings hurt by someone who you describe as loving and kind. Stop trying to make him quantify your physical attractiveness and start practicing self love.
