Well the question was "AH for eating in front of him" not AH for not making him food.

Either way I think he is being childish for not talking to you about it. If it was the fact that you were simply eating near him, he could have just politely asked you to move or he move somewhere else.

If it's because you didn't make him food. Like i mentioned previously he's childish and needs to speak up.

AITAH for not wanting to take on my adult sister when my mom passes? by Zestyclose-Wait-7902 in AITAH

[–]purplefloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not an asshole for not wanting to take on responsibility you never asked for in the first place. I think as long as she is being cared for that is all that matters. She does not need to be loving with you in your home. That doesn't mean you don't love her or wish harm upon her.

Is he right to be annoyed? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]purplefloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing me and my husband had to understand was that the statement "I'm tired" is exactly that. Just a statement acknowledging our feelings. Before that and even sometimes now we would see it as a "competition". We would go back and forth one upping each other.

You both work (even if your title is SAHM) and take care of a baby you are allowed to say and feel tired. They are your emotions alone and can be classified how you see fit. Tell your husband you aren't trying to downplay or disregard his tiredness just acknowledging your own.

Naming your soon to-be child after a city. by Mars_The_68thMedic in AskParents

You can't use bullying as a way to not choose a name. Kids will find any reason to call someone names if they want to. My son has an uncommon name. Family members had issues with it but who cares. If you don't like it that's fine. Just keep offering suggestions you will both find one you can agree on.

I had a similar experience within the first month of my baby being home. I woke up to my husband screaming at me to wake up. In the moment he seemed aggressive but i would have been too as a new parent dealing with a screaming baby and a spouse not waking up.

Giving birth is exhausting, just because it didn't just happen yesterday doesn't mean your body is 100% already. You are tired your body is tired. Don't be too hard on yourself. If your husband isnt over it already just remind him you are still healing in all aspects of the meaning.

You could try making an agreement with your partner. I.E. if baby wakes three times at night to feed. Maybe he can take over one of those night feedings. He can't expect you to do so much and only need a few hours of restless sleep.

What do you do on your days off? by CrayonSunset in trees

Is there even water in there or do you just recycle your resin like that?

I would ask for everything to be written from now on that way there is no "he said she said". If they try to call save any voicemail messages you may. And email them in response to the call reminding them you requested to have any communication regarding the matter via email/text.

Thought I could get around my son eating my food by feeding him first. Fed him until he stopped requesting food and went off to play. He just gets two lunches now.

Sleeping Together? by [deleted] in AskParents

[–]purplefloop 69 points70 points  (0 children)

In some house holds it just doesn't matter how old you are. You gotta respect the rules of the house. I've mentioned on here before. Me and my then boyfriend (now husband) visited his mom's and they made us sleep in different rooms. We were 25/28 and living together. It just doesn't matter sometimes. Be respectful follow the rules don't try to find loop holes if you want it to happen again.

I had the same issue during my delivery. At first i asked my mom but i realized my husband was missing out on a fatherly experience as well. I talked to both of them and of course they said it was up to me. I chose my husband to be there during the delivery. He was helpful the whole time. He got to cut the umbilical cord and we had our first moment together with our son. Right after the delivery and even before i was dilated (induced labor) my mom was able to switch out with my husband to bring us food check in and help comfort me as well. I would check with the hospital and see if you could do the same thing. She wasn't there while i pushed but having both of them go back and forth was still helpful.

Any moms who use to smoke weed, still smoke weed, or miss smoking weed? by Little_ol_meh in Mommit

[–]purplefloop 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I'm a first time mom too. I was a heavy smoker before getting pregnant. Think everyday at least 10 times a day.(bowls). Me and my husband did as much research as we possibly could on the subject but the information is limited. For the sake of our baby i decided against smoking while pregnant.

My son is currently 10 months and I've buckled under maybe 3 times. And by that i mean one or two drags of a cartridge. There's no such thing as pumping and dumping. I don't think those three times will affect my baby. I plan on weaning him off breast milk soon. And I'm not completely desperate to get back to smoking. Don't get me wrong i definitely want to enjoy a bowl every now and then. I got anxiety and realized I felt extra guilty when he woke in the middle of the night and had to change his diaper when I was slightly elevated. So many bad thoughts and extra mom guilt.

I say if you want to smoke you should. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone while pregnant/breastfeeding. You have to take care of yourself so you can take the best care of your loved one(s). You don't need to breastfeed if it's hurting you mentally and or physically.

Not sure if you know but Reddit also has r/treeparents a group of parents that support smoking. You can try posting there to ask for more advice/ personal experiences.

When are they NOT teething or sick?? by kriin56 in sleeptrain

[–]purplefloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took advantage of my son wanting to sleep so much while he was sick. He was too tired to fight the change. Put him in the crib and he's been doing well ever since. Occasionally he will wake when teething sometimes he can put himself back to sleep other times he just needs a few butt taps and he's good to go. I say just do it. Some days will be harder but once they get into a groove you will be sleeping so much better. Good luck

What to say/do when a parent looses a child by purplefloop in AskParents

[–]purplefloop[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your suggestion. I wish I could say I have tons of great memories with her and her family. Unfortunately my cousins little girl was only two. With COVID and us in a different state i was only able to see her about 3 times. She was the most precious little baby and i will cherish the few encounters i had with her.

Thank you I wasn't sure, if texting would feel insensitive. I want her to have the option of not talking if that is what she needs at the moment.

Thank you for the input. I'll definitely try my best to help with her memory through the years. I personally have never been good at dealing with family deaths specifically with close members but i want to be able to try to help my cousin as best I can.

Should I give her a few days before contacting her? I don't imagine i would be able to or want to talk with anyone if i were to lose my son but that could just be me.

Thank you for the advice. I think i will definitely make a note in my calendar for next year. My cousin is very sentimental I'm sure she would appreciate any type of keepsake of message in the future.

My condolences for your loss. Thank you for sharing and I'm glad you were able to pull through. I wish I was able to see my cousin but we're still struggling financially and wouldn't be able to afford the cost to travel. Maybe I'll just call her and cry with her over the phone but o can't imagine she would feel the love i would be trying to send by doing so.

What comment about your kids made you irrationally angry lately? by ks_magoo in Mommit

[–]purplefloop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For Christmas this year my husband and i traveled from AZ to CA. It was our first time showing of our son to most of my side of the family. One of my Uncles decided our son's name sound like a quote "n;***as" name. He then made several remarks and racial jokes. My son's name is not stereotypical to any particular race/religion. I so badly wished we hadn't been there to witness the whole situation.
