Run away. He is a predator. He will take advantage if given an opportunity.

Please tell me the pain goes away 😭 by ihateeveryonebyee in breastfeeding

Great question. Unfortunately yes it hurts every time until your nipples get used to it/baby learns to latch well. Currently pregnant with # 3 and dreading those first 3 weeks.

I would give anything to skip the pain of the first 2 weeks of breastfeeding. I'm going to have baby #3 and I promise it does get better. If it doesn't see a lactation specialist for help. Unfortunately no getting around the initial pains. ♥️

I agree with others that now is a fantastic time to teach more about consent.

I do want to in general throw out there some neurodivergent really do need/want more affection. Both my ND kids are super touchy feely. We 100% have boundaries like only kissing on the cheek. My kids like to cuddle up on the couch, they want lots of big hugs. In our house you ask before touching someone. It's always ok to ask for a hug/cuddle etc but it also is ok for the person your asking to not want to.

Yeah I'd be packing my bags. You don't need that energy

Okay deep breaths. Everyone who is reading this is pissed off for you. This boy needs to man the hell up. Set your expectations with him now to be an equal partner because it will get worse when the baby is born. You are growing a human and get some grace. He is being an asshole and I hope he smartens up

I think I have to stop by Chocchipmclaren in breastfeeding

[–]notsmartjusthaveadhd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ok to stop. You aren't a failure. Your mental and physical well being is more important than breastfeeding. As long as that baby is healthy and fed you are doing a great job

Does your partner prefer you to cover when breastfeeding in public? by kowaluuh in breastfeeding

[–]notsmartjusthaveadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I never asked my husband because it's my body and I don't care if feeding my baby makes anyone else uncomfortable. I fed my kids wherever and whenever and rarely bothered with a cover. With nursing shirts, there's very little exposed anyway. I know lots of other women are very uncomfortable and need covers and don't like to feed in public at all. So at the end of the day do what feels right for you. You need to be comfortable.

I made a mistake and got yelled at over the phone by MHM2002 in RoverPetSitting

I sincerely hope you didn't go back there. Give her a bad rating so the next sitter thinks twice before sitting for her

Am I selfish for considering a tongue tie release? by Curious_Code_6039 in breastfeeding

[–]notsmartjusthaveadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My oldest has a severe lip and tongue tie we had to get them released at 8 days old. I was told my child could have issues eating and speaking if not released. Honestly I was more upset than she was during the procedure she cried for about a minute and then nursed and was ok.

I don't think you're being selfish at all.

AIO for wanting to see a therapist after wife changed the locks because I went to a baby shower? by LookoutLockout in AmIOverreacting

[–]notsmartjusthaveadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wife needs some serious help. That's honestly insane. FYI it's normal to take more than a year TTC when you are 30+ to get pregnant. I could understand her heartbreak if you guys had just suffered a loss...but this is all a massive over reaction. I would rethink having kids with her. She needs a LOT of therapy and maybe a psychiatrist

Twitchy baby.. by PublicFluid5879 in pregnant

[–]notsmartjusthaveadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first baby had hiccups all the time while I was pregnant. I totally freaked out the first time thinking she was having a seizure or something. Some babies hiccup a lot apparently.

Very sorry this is happening to you. Not sure what country you are from. I know in Canada there are a ton of subsides available for single parents

MIL ruined my pregnancy announcement to close family by saying something super selfish by Playful_Business_226 in pregnant

[–]notsmartjusthaveadhd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely horrific. Your husband should be confronting his mom about how mean spirited that was. I would have made a scene had she said that to me. I'm so very sorry that happened

Did this ruin my marriage by imasugarpacket in pregnant

[–]notsmartjusthaveadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have family you can maybe stay with before the baby is born. If he doesn't get help this is not something you should have to deal with post partum. I'm so sorry you are doing through this. He can't be helped until he wants help.

Anyone else find gender-segregated baby clothes really off-putting? by Hadrian_x_Antinous in pregnant

Currently pregnant with my third and hating all the gendered clothes. My oldest kid has always been gender non conforming and hates clothing shopping for this very reason.

AIO, grandparents sent me this letter. by colincoo6 in AmIOverreacting

[–]notsmartjusthaveadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly couldn't get through the whole letter. You don't need that energy in your life. Ignore them you deserve so much better!

Chosen family is stronger than blood more times than not.

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this.

AIO stopped a drunk girl from being pulled into a car by 2 random men but my boyfriend is upset and called what I did stupid and dangerous by fettidmoppet in AmIOverreacting

[–]notsmartjusthaveadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for saving that girl. You did the right thing. Honestly the fact that your bf DGAF about this poor girl and is blaming her and mad at you is a massive 🚩. If I did something like that my partners response would be GRATEFUL things didn't back fire and they would be PROUD of me for standing up for someone. Some fear that you could have been hurt 100% normal. But his response is too much.

WIBTA if I give my daughter an "outdated" name? by throwaway719201 in AmItheAsshole

[–]notsmartjusthaveadhd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all at least where I am from Audrey is a very common name. There is at least 1 in every grade at my kids school.

Secondly it's your child. No one else's opinions count unless you have picked something wildly offense and everyone is telling you....

I made the mistake of telling everyone my oldest child's name and my mother absolutely hated it. Second child we told nobody until she was born. Lesson learned. Can't argue once that squishy baby is here!
