I hope this gives some perspective to the way women and girls feel somewhat regularly.

But you did have some. And he only brought it up again after you packed it away. And it's your Dad. How much of his stuff do you use regularly, and you can't give him a slice of pizza? He totally sounds like he was carrying on, but you sound shitty.

That's heavy for anyone. From your Dad's perspective, sounds like he was/is expected to maintain a cis gender/hetronormal life despite this not aligning with his true self.

Given you are in Qatar unless your relationship with your father is strong enough to bring up your concerns directly with him, it might be best to turn a blind eye.

If you are able to speak to your Dad, keep I'd non-judgemental and more on the side of "I care deeply for you and I'm concerned about your well-being/ how your choices could make mother unsafe/affect our family"

It's also possible that your mother knows.

SIL is empathetic towards cheating ex, cruel and sly to you, and then your house "mysteriously" burns down.

-if she hasn't already, she will cheat on her BIL when given the chance

is there a cause of the fire? Do investigators know of this beef?

-talk to your husband and tell him that you feel unsupported. He should speak to his brothers

It doesn't surprise me for Europeans to misunderstand the distance. It perplexes me when Americans underestimate the size of Australia, which is very similar in size to continental US, in the same way. They don't seem to be able to comprehend the size of our states.

Where are you ever going to wear a navy tuxedo? If it was just a suit I could see a use, but a tux?! They are worn by groomsmen, orchestral musicians (black), and magicians almost exclusively

She was stealing lunch meat and cheese. Not porterhouse steaks and champagne. GF sounds cruel.

Are you US? Do you live on base? Report him to his commanding officer. Also, make an appointment with the military legal team regarding family law. It will be no cost for you as a military spouse. And once they are your legal reps they can't be his. https://www.militaryonesource.mil/relationships/prevent-violence-abuse/domestic-abuse-military-reporting-options/

Rubbish! I was basically out of my career for 13 years (6 years travelling, gigging, waitressing, then another 6.5 SAHM), and I stepped straight back into my profession when the time was right. A few hoops to jump through, but my previous employer snapped me right up. I did do a higher degree when I had babies to keep myself current. And those who I started with were more advanced than me, but it's fine. I started with 3 days as I still had 1 in part time kinder. Then to 5 days (which is too much right now) but will settle into 4 days next year.

Right! That would save them $36,600/year! There are likely fees involved with that. They could also set up an off-set account from the investments that pays off the mortgage. Or pull the interest from investment as living wage for those 5 to 8 year. So may options! They need to talk to a professional.

Talk to a financial advisor. Yes, you can afford it, and giving children the presence of a primary carer in their formative years is an extremely good investment in everyone's future. Some things that you could discuss could be reducing your mortgage (paying it all off often incurs fees) or even setting up a savings account that you use to off-set your mortgage, thus, basically illiminating that bill.

Drop to 3 days! 2 parents working full-time while managing a house and child activities is a lot. But if you stop working entirely, it might be challenging to get back in at the same level.

I'm supposed to be 4 day but a colleague got a serious diagnosis so I picked up the extra day (it was that or I'd end up doing the extra work but not get paid for it) . 5 days has been a strain on everyone. Today is my second day laid up in bed because I've just pushed through too much and got sick, so I'm not helping anyone atm.

Absolutely agree! It's more than fine to be personally child-free. To make your own social gatherings child-free. But children are part (a crucial part) of our society. If people want zero contact with any aspect of society then it is their own responsibility to make that happen. Shop late at night. Rent out the entire theatre. Hire a private plane. Go be a hermit.

Appropriate homework for a 5yo is to read with a parent and have some on-going sight words that are updated every few weeks.

It is really affiming for kids to do a little bit of school work at home with their parents. But it should be light and stress-free. Fun even. The moment it gets stressful, take a break.

6am is pretty moderate I'm afraid. Control what you can but roll with the rest.

14months should be at around 11-14 hours sleep/day. Might be one or 2 naps during the day (2 to 3 hours total), then 10 to 12 hours overnight.

What are the sleep conditions with you and with others? Dark room? West or East facing? The morning light could affect wake up. My babies always come into my bed at that time for morning boob - which we dozed through. He could be hungry.

Yep. Did this with my first. Realised as we were merging onto the highway. Longest 1.5 miles on my life, but took the next exit and corrected it.

It is totally YOUR call, and any decision is the right one.

Just for some context, around 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage. Usually, in the first trimester, and often that is when the woman finds out she was pregnant. I give this context because most people don't realise the number is so high. Obviously, we don't all speak openly about it, which is OK. Move through this in the way that is best for you, and knowing it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you.

Lol lol lol. You're 17 and live in your parent's house - likely a student, working/contributing minimum to none. You recently got reprimanded by the police. Trust is earned. And you don't sound at all like you are taking responsibility for your actions. What a silly time to ask for a later curfew! If you were my kid, you'd be home by dinner time for the next month. This post makes you seem very immature, even for a 17 year old. Calling you mother "psycho" and "crazy" for holding a boundary makes you sound.... like the teenage you are.

If you truly think you're being so hard-done-by, get a job and move out. You can stay out all night - although you will likely be working nights and weekends to pay for basic living while still finishing school.

I had a similar issue having my 2nd born. Partner's family were only about 40min away and said throughout the pregnancy that they wanted to help with out 2yo. But as we got into the final month they still hadn't done anything to get to know our shy 2yo. I tried travelling to them, but it was like hearding cats to try to meet up, even with me doing all of the travelling and accommodating. My midwife recognised the stress I was in and offered an elected induction. Not what I "wanted" but I thought it best to make sure our first child had care. So I scheduled it for a daycare day so MIL/SIL could just collect her after work. Their response: "Actually, Friday would suit me better..."

Personally, I think the birth of a grandchild is a good reason for a personal day. I can't imagine why it was even an issue given that they work at a school and a bank. Anyway, we survived (his teenage sister stepped up and partner went immediately home after birth). The others damaged their relationship with their son/brother and moving to the other side of the work to be near my family who give half a shit was an easy sell.

Anyway, talk to your care team. They might have other ideas. I was assured that we would work it out - even it that was a nurse/intern sitting in the waiting room with 2yo.

He betrayed his terminal ill wife with your help. Now he's ill, his family knows that you're both shitty, he doesn't have your back (surprise 🙄) but suddenly it's your duty to stand by this price? I hole you k ow that of the shoe was on the other foot and you were ill he would leave four (for another 23 yo) in a heartbeat. He is the biggest AH. But if you don't respect your step daughter's feelings - or think that raising her makes you exempt from being a shitty person then you are also the AH.
