So your out doing your weekly shop. You’re pregnant and high risk. I always keep germs down to a minimum and don’t touch anything while I’m out that I don’t need. Then when I’m home I was my hands. A older lady, NOT too old. Whilst I was looking at the shelf stroked my babies hand. Didn’t ask, didn’t speak just smiled at him and went to walk off. He’s 10 months old. I’m all for he needs to be around germs, so I don’t go over board IF I’m in my own home! So as I’ve turned around and seen what was happening I’ve taken out a baby wipe and cleaned my sons hand and said “I’d rather you didn’t touch my son, I don’t know what germs your carrying” Now my husband said I didn’t need to be so rude. But my arguement is she shouldn’t have been rude enough to touch him in the first place! He said if it was someone younger I wouldn’t have said anything. But in my opinion younger people don’t go round feeling entitled to touch your child!!!
I’m 4 weeks postpartum. I discovered my partner of 3 yrs + father of my child on snapchat/ onlyfans asking women for nude videos and paying for them, then deleting the messages. I personally don’t mind that he watches porn, but paying for it is wild when we have a family to support. Hiding it is lying. Also, these are women he went to high school with and knows personally! He admits he has been doing this since we met, but is adamant that it’s only been online and he hasn’t attempted any in-person interactions. Still, I am livid. I feel cheated on. But I have a newborn and live across country from my family… Is this cheating? What would you do?
AITA… my boyfriend’s close friend and his wife refer to myself and my boyfriend as “aunt and uncle” to their child, among many other friends. I come from a very close knit family and believe that siblings (and their serious partners) should be the only ones with “aunt or uncle” status. AITA for not wanting to refer to friends as aunt and uncle for my child even though I am an aunt to theirs? I just don’t want to cause confusion to my child but feel it may get a little awkward once they are a bit older and they don’t call our friend aunt/uncle. How do I approach this?
My manager is a single mom and has her mom living with her to help with her kids so she can obviously do more at work. That’s great, happy for her, BUT I don’t have that privilege and we have to pay a shit ton of money to have my son in daycare for ONLY 4 days a week bc having him in full time will literally have us homeless bc of the price difference. But unfortunately, that’s the expectation she has. & before anyone comes on here saying “oh you shouldn’t have had kids then” inflation is fucking insane and we had our youngest during COVID lol I had no idea shit was going to get this real so fast. Luckily, my oldest is already school aged. There’s so much changing at work and the company is pretty much going broke, so they are laying off a bunch of people. I had a meeting yesterday, and I literally thought I was getting laid off but no, now they are trying to change my once doable schedule and add more on my plate. I flat out told them I can’t and they were salty but wtf am I supposed to do, we are already spread thin? I’m not a fucking robot?
I’m 4 weeks post section and really struggling when my partner is at work, I can’t drive so unable to get out the house and still quite sore so I can’t manage much of a walk. My baby refuses to be put down and won’t sleep anywhere but on me, I can’t wear him in his sling too much as I’m still too tender and my whole body aches. I’m struggling to get chance to make anything to eat and feel so trapped and isolated in the house, but equally I don’t want company because I’m so exhausted I don’t have anything in me to make conversation. I know it’ll get easier but my god it’s hard, I just pray for the weekends when we can be together 😞
Hi all, my partner goes to work while I look after our 14 month old and become a stay at home mum. We both decided now wasn’t the right time for me to return to work and leave her yet and even if I did the money I would earn would go on childcare costs for her while I was at work, so we thought that wouldn’t help us at all and would just defeat the object. So we only have my partners income we don’t get any benefits at all as my partner earns too much but literally all our income goes on house bills (we’ve recently brought our own house) I’ve worked and earned my own money since I was 16 and now having to rely and ask my partner for any money is literally mentally deflating me 😣 just not having a penny to my name or in my account so I can just buy something I need for our daughter when I need to has hit so bad. I love my daughter she’s my world and I know I’ve made the right decision for us as a family, but can’t help shake this feeling inside. I feel like a prisoner that’s had her independence taken away. Is there any thing I can do to help and earn a little bit of money to have for myself to make me feel a little better does anyone know of any work from home jobs? I used to be a receptionist/admin. Thank you ❤️
