Stupid comments made by husbands

Anybody elses husband or significant other just make comments without ever thinking? have total foot in mouth syndrome or is it just mine? For example my friend and I were talking on the phone about how her baby daddy cheated on her after I got off the phone my husband proceeds to tell me that now that he is a dad he understands why men with kids cheat but he does not condone it. thoughts?

WHAT?! Ew! Why would he say that… omg šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø men do not think before they speak I swear … smh

ā€œ I see why men with kids cheatā€

and why would that be sir?!

There’s no reason WHY but also I’m sure that made you definitely feel some type of way which is absolutely valid!!!

I definitely think these men be saying some dumb stuff sometimes but that comment was a bit alarming? Weird? Rudeeeee for sure cause why does he ā€œunderstandā€ it? Kind of contradicting to say that you understand it, but you don’t condone it….? Idk for me that would’ve opened a whole can of worms and a long conversation..sometimes it’s best if these men just keep their mouths shut šŸ˜­ā€¦ they look so cute til they say something lol

Yeah, I’d love to know his reasoning behind that. Why do guys with kids cheat??

Mine does once in awhile says some off the cuff things that make me do the ā€œStewie head tiltā€ look at him like ā€œboy, have you lost your mind?ā€

The last one I can remember is us having a conversation about anxiety. Which he has multiple times witnessed and helped me deal with near panic attacks or a couple ones where I did actually pass out. Anyway. He just randomly said ā€œyeah, I don’t think social anxiety or really anxiety in general is real anyway.ā€
Since apologized after I explained how that made me feel.
It’s not usually mean things, but definitely has caught me by surprise a few times

My friends husband said this to me, luckily not in ear shot of my friend. I too just had a baby at the same time as them. And I just said, on what level do you think that’s okay to say? It’s the most vulnerable time of a woman’s life after birth and only weak emotional immature men think that way. I followed it with I understand why women leave men in the first year or so after birth because men show their true colours of maturity. He apologised :( men are actually dumb sometimes

Most definitely you’re not alone!

OMG, my BD has done that to me so many times, just minimizes the whole thing, it’s so invalidating. He too apologizes but he does it again and again. Dumb.

My husband told me that 90% of the complaints he's ever heard from male friends who split up with their wives or girlfriends, it was always about sex. They always started complaining they weren't getting enough sex and it went downhill from there. Might be giving him the benefit of the doubt here, but maybe your husband was trying to say something like that, just... badly.

Men can be dumb sometimes but that was a terrible thing to say.

Then you should say you’d condone it as well but you’d never do it too. Like if things were the other way around and see his reaction.

Mat leave disappointment

Has anyone else been entirely disappointed with their sendoff from Work? This is my second baby, the sendoff last time was poor anyway, a quick battered gift and shout out in a team meeting, but I didn’t think it could get any worse. I remember my husband being made a fuss of at his work last time, and thought it was so lovely!

I’ve been there for seven years. They’ve gradually replaced team members with younger and younger team. I’m in a team of about 30 and most are in their early 20s enjoying London life, no one really gets having a baby.

The handful that do have kids, they’re pretty much all uni age, and I feel like they’ve completely forgot what a big deal it is

I finished two days ago, just got some flowers in the post from my team with a pretty generic message about how much I’ll be missed. I see E cards go around for peoples birthdays with bespoke messages from individuals and I didn’t even get that. There was no shout out or farewell messages on the last day despite it being in everyone’s diaries.

I get on hugely with everyone in the team, I feel like a well liked outsider, the strange person in their 30s having kids. And it’s almost felt like an inconvenience to everyone that I’m pregnant. Lots of ā€˜can you not come into the office more’, really not acknowledging how uncomfortable a long commute is

One person even said to me that I should’ve put in a leaving lunch myself and how nice it would have been. When I first joined the company, these were always arranged by other people and we would have little Work baby showers with games and gifts, they were so cute. Would feel quite self absorbed putting my own Work baby shower in the diary šŸ™ƒ

It’s all really disheartening. I do the request to send them pictures once babies here, kind of want to delete them all off Instagram to be honest!

need to rant

my fiancĆ©e works full time in hospitality so his shifts aren’t consistent, some are late some are early but how does this mean he doesn’t do anything around the house or even help with baby. he’ll only take my son when he’s sleeping and whilst he’s sleeping i tidy the house and as soon as baby wakes he passes him back to me. i’ve tried to tell him how it makes me feel and it just turns into an argument. i don’t even see him anymore as he’s always playing games with his friends. i feel alone in a relationship. i’m so tired

Friends with another mum but their child is naughty

I’m friends with a mum from church and we both have 3 year olds and we’ve both applied for the same schools for them to go to next year. She has a son and I have a daughter and he’s very naughty. He will make other children cry/ he won’t share toys he’s playing with or he will shout when my daughter says hello to him he will just look away and say no! They have a play kitchen at church and the other day he was playing there and when my daughter went to join in he basically guarded the whole kitchen and toys with his arms so that she couldn’t get to it. Any tips on this? Firstly how to deal with kids who don’t share with your child and how to communicate this to my daughter. Also, would you be friends with a mum if their child misbehaved? It’s not terribly bad but I want to prepare myself now that my daughter will be getting ready for school on how to deal with things like this without making it into a big deal. Bearing in mind they are 3! (Nearly 4)

Baby proofing

Hi everyone my little girl is almost on the move so I’m looking for advice on what baby proofing items to get and where is best to look for them.
I know we need baby gates, cupboard locks and the corner things but am I missing anything?
We also have a marble fireplace and I’ve seen a cover for the ledge on Amazon but it’s Ā£60 so if anyone has any more budget friendly ideas I’m open to ideas.

Tia!

Let’s talk Nursery Decor ✨

Calling all pregnant mamas šŸ¤

How many of you have already started planning your baby’s nursery? 🄹🧸

I run a little baby mobile business ā€˜Bear & Bambi ā€˜ and I make mobiles for little ones’ nurseries. I’m always looking for inspiration and love seeing what other mums are choosing for their babies!

I’d love to know what you’d pick for your nursery — something neutral and calming, colourful and fun, or something a bit more unusual? ✨

From my own experience, a mobile has helped calm and sooth my baby. It helps with entertaining, building their wonderful
imaginations and even resulted in them falling to sleep watching the movement.

I’d love some feedback Xx
