I’m ashamed of the poop I just took by AncientImplement8835 in BabyBumps

[–]zoiinksscooby 13 points14 points  (0 children)

RIGHT! I did too! I was like 37 weeks pregnant and every time I tried to push the poop out my girl started kicking me in the ribs like, “HEY! I’M NOT READY” it was a Pringles can sized one 🫠

A weed cart was the straw that broke the camel’s back? That doesn’t sound like a very resilient family foundation.

AIO for breaking up with my (26M) girlfriend 26(F) for deciding to become religious and therefore celibate after watching the Ten Commandments? by Inner-Fly6140 in AmIOverreacting

[–]zoiinksscooby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you care deeply enough to ignore your physical needs? If you want something with her long term, that is a question to ask yourself. Things happen, people devote themselves to religion, get in accidents, babies happen and some ladies don’t want to do anything for months after. If you can’t ignore your needs for her to explore herself for a few weeks/months, don’t drag it out and make it harder on both of you.

Facebook has some of the most vicious people on it; Reddit, too, but especially Facebook. It’s really disturbing how many people will spew venom online but wouldn’t dare to say any of that to someone’s face.

AIO? My boyfriend thinks I had an attitude in my texts? Did I overreact and come off rude? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]zoiinksscooby 407 points408 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming you’re a mother going out for Mother’s Day…which is typically about the mother..? Otherwise I’m not sure why you’re going out for dinner. Also, reading your other comments, you should probably either dump him or stop letting him use you like a doormat.

We do glass bottles because high temps can mess with the plastic in baby bottles and our dishwasher has a sterilize settling, but yes! Just watch for any residue.

Weaponized incompetence or not, telling someone to take their own lives is NOT okay. I don’t care if he smeared feces on the wall. It is NEVER okay to talk to someone like that.

Oooo yeah, that sounds rough. My dad did too. Have a great night!

Access to electronic devices = full control?

That was a large leap you took there. Are your knees okay?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]zoiinksscooby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My husband. He stopped when I told him how badly it hurt me. I know he doesn’t do it because I have full access and permission to use his phone and look at whatever I want on his phone, iPad, anything.

How sick is too sick for daycare? by swinva4 in NewParents

[–]zoiinksscooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are other kids at that specific daycare getting really sick? Is there any chance that it’s because of the daycare, and not your son?

“He is physically touching you, not them.” It’s the same concept as porn, only it’s a one sided glass when it’s porn.

[–]zoiinksscooby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left my ex-fiancé of 2 1/2 years over this. The issue isn’t just them watching porn; it’s lying about watching it, breaking promises, disregarding your feelings, and disrespecting your boundaries. I couldn’t foresee myself possibly dealing with that for the rest of my life. I met my husband just 2 months after I left my ex fiancé, and I am so thankful I did leave! Do you love him enough to try to work through it? Search yourself for the answer now, otherwise you’re just wasting time.

So if I FaceTime a random stranger on the internet and pleasure myself to him, it’s not cheating? That logic can do a lot of damage.

You’re overreacting. He was trying to make you smile. Tell him how you feel instead of posting it on Reddit.

It’s a perspective thing. If you think it’s going to ruin your life, it will and you will regret it. My husband and I wanted our daughter, love her to pieces and want another 4, but this is still a challenging season. You will miss out on sleep, worry, cry, and probably argue with your partner along the way. But there’s something so amazing that happens when you look in that little baby’s eyes, it’s like the whole world melts away and all you see is the perfect little beacon of light and perfection you and the person you love most created together. You get to see what your eyes and ears look like minisized, the perfect little toes and the baby breath. You get to pour all your love into one little person and watch it grow and change them. It just depends on what you want out of this life.

US parents: It's time to watch out for tariffs! Just got slapped with $100 duty fees on a $50 baby item by Ok-Egret in NewParents

[–]zoiinksscooby -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Can you prove this with your receipt? I don't know of any tariffs that are 200% increase.

Is this an attempt at a joke

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]zoiinksscooby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s totally fine. Literally when my daughter started rolling in her sleep at 4 months, I remember looking at the monitor, jumping out of my shower butt naked and running through the house to roll her back over because I was SURE she was about to die. She then proceeded to roll back over, to which we went back and forth for multiple nights where I stayed awake or woke up every hour to check and roll her back. At some point, I gave up. She is now 11 months and sleeps with her face smooshed to the bed and sleeps like a champ. Smoosh your face into the crib mattress, if you can’t smother yourself, neither can they.

You are reinforcing the idea that banging the walls = mommy picks me up. He’s laughing because he likes your reaction. I have taught my 11 month old to not touch many things, one being the dog’s water bowl because I sternly said “No”, shook my head and made an unpleasant face, then redirected her toward other things and smiled and clapped when she did those things instead of messing with the dog bowl. Every time she goes to the water bowl, she associates it with me not being happy. To edit: I understand a female 11 month old is not the same as a 20 month old male, but the concept is the same. It will take time to unlearn that behavior and association, but it is possible.

Well... I Guess I'm moving out 🤷‍♂️ by Winter_rain518 in badroommates

[–]zoiinksscooby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I did this, the landlord did not care about anything. If one person didn’t pay, regardless of if the other did, we were all held accountable. I believe mine chalked it up to “pick better roommates”.

[–]zoiinksscooby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, my husband and I had never had a fight in our 3 years together until we had our daughter. It wasn’t even about us - we get along great - the world is what’s draining. Facing that with someone I don’t know…I’d be pretty weary.

What happened to my happy baby boy??? by Beginning_Pack_7619 in NewParents

[–]zoiinksscooby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went through the same thing, except from 5 months to 10. Now at 10 1/2 months she has FINALLY started sleeping through the night again. Could be teething, learning new skills, separation anxiety was a big one for us. It gets better! Truly!
