I go to the good one so I can get the nice recliner bring something cozy I always knock out for a few mins lol

Those are the kind I’m going to! I probably will knock out but I just hate having to get up and pee 😂 as long as my fiancé feeds me before I won’t be grumpy lol

girl i trained my bladder for the marvel movies. I LOOOVVEEEE marvel. But i get mad when my man has the bladder of a pregnant women and has to go every 30 min so i told him either you come dehydrated to my movie or don’t come at all lol it’s our rule for marvel movies the moment he walks out he better not show his face again until after. He can do it to any other movies but my marvel movies

hahaha that’s funny and great my man put us all the way in the front of an XD movie and the seats shake

DBOX seats I LOVE THEM 😂😂😂😂 i do that too and i turn the movement all the way up 😂 i saw the little mermaid in D box and I got a lil motion sickness being pregnant and all i thought i was gonna injure the baby so i turned it down for the first time 😭

I have to ask is it bad for me to be watching it while 7 months pregnant? I’ve been getting Braxton hicks lately I hope it’s not harmful for baby and I? Or too loud

I don’t think it’s bad to go see it. I’ve been watching movies and in Dbox and I’m 31 weeks pregnant just make sure you don’t have your Dbox seat up to the highest function or just have it turned off if it has that option.

oh okay I wasn’t sure if it’s too loud for the baby because he won’t stop moving but the seats don’t shake as much I’ve never been to Dbox one so I wouldn’t know how much they shake these ones you can’t put the function up or down they are just heated recliner seats

oooo i mean i go to Cinemark and they have to seats that move with the movie and it shakes like CRAZY it also reclines and has heated seats. Or there is the option of regular seats but also has the reclining option and heated seats. From what I’ve read the sounds inside our uterus are muffled especially with all the fluid in there and you as the physical barrier. So even sounds that are loud to us won’t be as loud to them

Thank you! I was scared! I’m at a cinemark but it’s weird they don’t give me the option to put down the function

yeah i know the option is only given on those types of seats but the others don’t have it because they don’t move. You have to chose those seats at my theater

Oh okay I didn’t know some cinemarks were different in that way. Thank you!

We went to see Oppenheimer and Barbie, they were both great! But yes being 27 weeks pregnant I did have to go pee during Oppenheimer lol. We went to a nice theater with the recliners as well!

yea I kinda have to pee but with my belly it’s kinda hard to get by to go to the bathroom. My baby boy doesn’t stop moving he just kicked me so hard I’m like woah little guy. Was Barbie good?

I’m 29 weeks and just saw that movie today. It was really good!! Take a pillow and a blanket to help you get comfy.

lucky I should of brought a pillow and a blanket. I’m just scared when the bomb went off it was silent and then I was caught off guard and heard a loud boom so now I’m like oh no is babies ears okay because damn that was loud!

I’ve never heard of sound affecting the baby’s hearing 😳

okay good it was loud for me so I thought it would be loud for the baby

I went to see Barbie and didn’t realize the theater DID NOT have the nice seats 😫 I managed ok tho. Towards the end of the movie I was ready to get out of there tho. I was able to hold my pee tho!

I hate when that happens! I went to see Flash and the theater didn’t have nice seats and I had to sit in a two hour movie and the movie wasn’t even good my back hurt so bad I said never again unless it’s recliner seats but this time baby boy was not having the movie theater he was so uncomfortable. Oppenheimer wasn’t the best I’ll definitely see Barbie next

I went to watch barbie and had a great time

I never go to the movies but my grandma was in town so we went. Man Oppenheimer was soo long and I got up to pee at least 5 times. It was comfortable with the recliner seats but I was so ready to fall asleep in there was just exhausted. Movie was okay, I got kinda confused.

Omg I went to watch Oppenheimer and I regretted it. It was sooooo loud and long lol

I want to see Barbie and dress up as pregnant Barbie lol just kidding but that would be funny 😂

Yea even my fiancé regretted seeing it! I felt bad for my baby boy he couldn’t stop moving in my belly

I've finally done it

I have finally done it. I have finally become the trope, the stereotype.

I have become bitter, resentful, and very overwhelmed and overloaded. I am very unhappy and hit burnout. And I snapped at my husband last night. I work full-time, and work has been very busy so im working late a lot. Im also in grad school. I also have a toddler that has become VERY clingy with me. My husband works shorter days but commutes, so he usually gets home after me by an hour or more. When he gets home, he usually heads to the restroom for at least 30 mins when he gets home. And now my toddler doesnt want anything to do with him. So im doing all the toddler duties until bed. I dont get 5 mins to myself. Not for almost 2 years. I finally hit my wall. I have also, somehow, become my MILs medical ride service and she somehow has an appt every week, it seems?! Shes not sick!! My husband was complaining that he needs to change routine to fit in a workout sometimes, and I lost it. I have been BEGGING for 5 mins to myself for months. I have been telling him how im not good, im going to burn out for months. And between his attitude and him complaining (which really got me b/c he blames me for not being able to work out?! Saying I need help when he gets home so he just cant workout now) I just lost it completely. I told him how unfair my life has become and I have the entire mental and emotional load and it is just not fair. He got mad at me and said "hes trying" when hes literally not trying at all. What do I do?? No one is taking the load from me! And im done and dont know what to do now.
I do not like this version of me.

AITA?

This isn't a major issue, just wondering if I'm being a bit of an asshole.

• I do shift work, 5 out of 7 days, full-time.
• My partner works from home (mostly, sometimes he goes into the office) M-F, full-time.

Anyway, whenever I have a day off during the week he gets in his feelings when I make myself food (breakfast and lunch) but not him. His reason is he's working, I'm not - Which is fair but I've asked him how many times on a weekend has he gotten up, on his day off and made me breakfast and a lunch to take with me to work? You guessed it, 0.

So basically, just because I'm at home I don't think the responsibility to feed him should automatically fall on me when he manages to feed himself just fine while I'm at work.

Is this clever or cruel?

My husband and i were talking and with social media and the internet in general being a terrifying dumpster fire, we are trying to figure out the best way to keep our son safe while still teaching him how to safely be online and moderation.

We landed on the idea of giving him the 90's kid treatment. A computer in the living room for us to keep an eye on what hes doing online, and once we feel hes mature enough to hang with friends without adult supervision he gets a flip phone. When we feel he is responsible enough and he earns and saves up the money for the physical phone, case, and screen cover, then we will be happy to take him to get a smart phone.

I thought this was air tight, but now my brother says its cruel to give a kid a flip phone, and besides he can just use his friends phones at school.

My husband and i remember a time before the internet, and we remember having complete access to something no one understood yet. We saw unspeakable things and are always battling with the urge to put the phone and social media down. I dont want that for my son, especially with his brain so vulnerable still.

If your partners parent passes away

And you and that parent didn't get along are you still go to the funeral?

Not my situation!

Big vent!

Hi mums.
I'm a first time mum in my 40s to twin boys.They are almost 5 months old and the biggest miracle in my life!
I am struggling!!!
I'm pretty sure I have ppa as my pregnancy was a very high risk and all I remember was crying from anxiety of all the ifs!Thankfully even born at 35 weeks and skinny,didn't need iu time.
My husband is not helping much because he's always too busy with work.He will "look" after them usually between 8pm-12am so I can have a chance to sleep.
He expects me to just sleep when I touch the pillow,even though I hear tje babies crying and him don't really bother because most of the times he'll be on his laptop working.
When I tell him I can't relax to fall asleep because I feel you r neglecting the babies,he says I'm the problem becauae I'm always there with them and don't give them alone time!!
I am angry!!I am furious!!
I can't keep.up.with housework becauae someone alwaya neess me and most of the times they nap I either cook and clean tje kitchen,do laundry or try and take a quick nap.
He doesn't help.around the house,becauae..guess what?always super busy.
I asked him nicely we could clean the house together every Saturday morning so it's easier and quicker for both of us and he said no,because he has a lot of work but probably wants to sleep until 12 or 2.
2 days ago a button of his coat ripped and I told him I'll sew it these days.
Earlier this morning while running late for his work,as always,he weara the coat and told him didn't get the chance to fix the button and sarcastically said..of.course u didn't!!!
I spent all night awake because one of the babies had congested nose and we've been trying to reduce one fees at night.
I wanted to punch him!!He left and I started crying...I cry so much,even at 5 months pp...
I can't go on like this anymoreeeee...
The crying in my ears is constant..my head is always numb..I've gained so much weight and can't find the strength to get back on track..
Even if I try to.find a therapist to just talk,is it gonna help?I really don't know😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Partner no longer wants baby #2

Before our son was born we originally both wanted minimum 2 kids but we were hoping for 3-4. My partner found the birth traumatic to watch and also struggled a lot with the newborn/baby stage. He no longer wants to have any more children and it’s completely breaking my heart. I need another baby. We’ve spoken about it a lot and the options. He said he wasn’t COMPLETELY closed off to it so I asked him to try and work through his feelings and reconsider his decision. He eventually said he definitely doesn’t want another. I know that I will always want one and my feelings will never change. Do we have to break up or does anyone know anything else I can do to help change his mind? Has anyone else’s partner said this and then changed their mind? I don’t want to break up because I adore him and our life together and I’d hate to split up our family for “selfish” reasons and make my son miss out on having both of us together but I just don’t know what to do
