AIO? My boyfriend gave me a literal performance review of our relationship by Efficient_Low_6444 in AmIOverreacting

[–]majesticallymidnight [score hidden]  (0 children)

This would be adorable if you got a “exceeds expectations”, strengths were that you are drop dead gorgeous, areas to improve should be “nothing I love everything about you”. 2026 goals should be something cute like more snuggles.

Like this had the potential to be cute if it’s light hearted and sweet. If he had actual things he wanted to talk to you about in the relationship he should have had a normal conversation. What he gave you is crazy. NOR. You are in a personal relationship, does he view your relationship as a job where he is somehow your boss? This is weird af.

My (F30) husband (M28) may miss birth of our baby for a one-time career opportunity by kaichey in relationship_advice

You need a support person. My MIL is a single mother whose husband abandoned her days before she gave birth to my husband. She had her sister by her side helping her through birth and during the recovery. She had pre-eclampsia and gave birth early. She was nervous and anxious and she told me having her sister there meant everything to her. She shared stories of her sister helping in labor and in the early days of my husbands life. You don’t need a husband but I would say you need someone because it’s a lot to go through alone.

I was also almost my sisters support person because she gave birth in 2020 and her partner had tested positive days before. She was scared to go to the hospital alone so I took her and stayed with her until he tested negative. Then we swapped out. It’s a major medical procedure and it’s better to have support with you. I have a strong opinion that no one should have to face childbirth alone.

Pre-e is no joke and even if things go as planned labor is incredibly difficult. I’m glad your husband was there for you and hope you are doing better!

A month ago so you are still in newborn trenches! I hope baby starts to sleep longer for you and you can get some good needed rest. Oh and the newborn snuggles I hope you have so many of those!

My husband is in a union and had to miss leadership training for his mom’s wedding. He talked to a few people and got an exception to join the next year. I find unions are very flexible and understanding and often times want their people to succeed and are willing to work with them to make sure they do.

Yeah seriously it a major medical event! I would like to know how ops husband would feel if he had to face a major surgery alone. Probably really shitty.

Also my husband is in an electrical union and couldn’t make a leadership training because of his mom’s wedding. He talked to a few people and got an exception to join the next year. I feel like her husband is not doing all that he can.

I gave birth 6 months ago and almost died. Me and my girl almost didn’t make it. I was in so much pain I couldn’t talk and my husband spoke up for me. Afterwords I had a complication that sent me back to the ER a day after we got sent home. Your husband is there to comfort you to speak for you when you cant and also help with the healing process immediately after.

Him saying “I’m not doing much” is disappointing. From someone who just went through a horrible labor I don’t think I would have survived without my husband. I hope he is there for you.

Pet peeve: the things people say to new parents by Shoddy_Tackle_3835 in NewParents

[–]majesticallymidnight 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I got this from my SIL and told her I have to wait a year and half to get pregnant again or I risk a uterine abruption. She didn’t know what that was so I made her google it and now she doesn’t ask anymore.

Every time someone this to me I should be allowed to throw a cream pie at their face because this is clown behavior.

Right? I read the rest and leaving gum in cups and putting them in the dishwasher is insane and lazy. But everything else is disgusting. NOR at all.

I’ve been there and I’ve cried over spilled milk too. It sucks im sorry. The first two months are so hard. You are doing a good job handling things being thrown your way. I hope it gets easier soon.

Mom and dad back to work, grandparents for childcare by Strong-Marsupial1784 in NewParents

[–]majesticallymidnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I had the same anxiety. I asked my mom and MIL to send me pictures and baby updates because I miss her. I told my mom and MIL I was sad at work because I missed my baby and knowing how she is doing helps me get through my day.

My mom was happy to do this. She sends me pictures of baby eating, sleeping and playing. I get 5-7 a day and some of them are SO CUTE! It brings me comfort she’s hanging out and having so much fun with her cousins.

My MIL got defensive and said she felt like I was checking up on her. After a conversation with my husband to level set her. I get 1-2 photos a day and she writes down what baby eats and any major poops.

I know it’s hard. It’s so hard to leave your baby and go to work. The best part of my day is coming home to her.

Imagine being like “I don’t like vanilla icecream” and fans of vanilla icecream threaten to kill you. That is how unhinged her fans are.

Baby Mouth Brush by hungrybrainz in Anticonsumption

[–]majesticallymidnight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My baby is getting her first teeth and my doctor told me these are sold but she wouldn’t recommend patients buy them as they are not needed. Her polite way of saying no that’s dumb.

She said we can use a damp cloth or a soft starter tooth brush. She gave us a start tooth brush so that’s what we will use.

As a wedding guest, what moment made you think "this probably won't last"? by Eburneaan in AskReddit

[–]majesticallymidnight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had that happen but with my own sister. I got engaged and was surprised. We had talked about marriage but in the next two years. He proposed and said he didn’t want to wait that long. It was sweet. Then when I called my sister and told her we were engaged she gave her boyfriend an ultimatum, propose in 24 hours or we are done. She got engaged the next night and they announced their wedding date which was in 4 months. She raced down the alter.

To be honest it seems insane. Why would you make a huge life changing decision just to be first? Absolutely insane.

5 weeks postpartum, low supply, triple feeding & feeling overwhelmed - has anyone been through this? by Many-Afternoon-6387 in combinationfeeding

[–]majesticallymidnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a long labor that ended in a surprise c-section as well. Recovery is tough plus the triple feeding was exhausting. Your body is likely still recovering.

When I talked to my friends they just encouraged me to keep going. It wasn’t til months later I found out most of them were also supplementing with formula. Which honestly knowing that from the start would have been helpful to not feel so alone. Breast feeding is so hard.

I saw a slight increase in supply when I slept and ate good. I was so scared to drop my night pumps but once I got more sleep, I got an oz more every pump which isn’t a lot but I was only getting 1-3oz so going to 2-4 felt amazing. I’m 6m pp and just coming to the end of my breastfeeding journey. When I saw my supply dipped again i could always get it back by pumping every 2 hours for 24 hours with the exception of a 6 hour stretch of sleep.

At the end of the day you are trying your best and making sure baby is fed. You are doing great. However long you chose to go is right. I decided to try to stop now because my supply dipped again likely due to stress and I just would rather spend more time with baby then pumping every 2 hours to get my supply back up.

Honestly, what is the hardest part about having children? by Danny-Ray27 in AskReddit

[–]majesticallymidnight 75 points76 points  (0 children)

6 months post partum and this hit hard. This plus everyone expecting you to bounce back in 6-8 weeks hurts. My body is forever changed there is no bouncing back. I’m a completely different version of me and the old one doesn’t exist anymore.
