  • Tldr: **Wife and I will be single parents for the first time in our lives.**I am trying my best but even with the help of therapy I still sometimes feel like Im stalling. My wife is a wonderful, caring woman who also happens TO be pregnant. I have been able HELP them see how they might be better served by moving forward and not waiting for another opportunity to jump ahead. The stress of starting over and having to figure all these problems out is just exhausting. Its a long-winded way spelling it seems,

  • I dont know what the point of this thread is. Ive done enough of this stupid shit already and don’t need to do more. The only people who benefit from this are assholes like you. Meanwhile, I just want to rant for a few minutes before going to bed.

  • Hi Reddit! My name is Rick Ross, Im Senior Director of Engagement & Branding at D23, and Ive spent the better part since the pandemic figuring out how to position our brand so that when a new father brings up concerns, theyre taken care off the shoulders (& offered some reassurance that what theyve been saying is factually correct.) So far weve had: yesterday morning my wife got in touch w me that we were getting called to come in to talk about possibly having another kid. She wanted us down to see the doctor (we live

  • That makes three things impossible; she cant decide not TO give the medicine (she already has a hard time deciding whats right for her!), she cannot wait until morning so that they can give it to everyone (she doesnt like to do any of it), AND since she wont eat the medicine, therell be lots if leftover pepitas. I know you mean well.

  • Use the Exhaustionist cliche when opening doors. "A well dressed man goes into a pharmacy and asks for a cough medicine". edit - thanks everyone for the helpful comments. It seems like most people read them as being pro-child and supportive, which I totally get. But there are some genuine assholes who think they're actual sage dad right now and don’t want their kids thinking like this.

  • Yesterday I was trying my best but just couldnt get anything out of my wife about our daughter. She had to leave town early due rain. So she called me up to say hi. I took her home to meet my folks and then left for work. As I was driving past the house I got a call from my ex-wife's sister who wanted some advice. I wasn't expecting much when I picked her up last night but she was very helpful. She said there were two other moms in the neighborhood watching over our daughter so they might want/need some advice too. I agreed and we hung

  • The above is an exact quote from a post by another Redditor. It's my understanding they are all part of this sub (and were created separately). The mods won’t remove it because it's part of a larger theme. ♂️ But if you want to be able reply to someone else’s post without having to wade through the shit that's been posted before -- you can do that now. Just follow the instructions below: w\teach your kids basic sign language. If they don’ts already,

  • Yesterday I was reading an Asslits thread where someone had posted a link here that contained a gif of their daughter being violently shoved around by a giant doll. The gif made me laugh so hard I nearly dropped my drink. Commenter after commenter had all of the above mentioned things, and provided better yet, off-the-c quotes (so I could respond). This was going to be a long and winding thread... So I settled on one simple rule.* If your comment

  • Edit - thanks everyone for the kind words and insight. It has been really helpful getting some general context from the collective. The responses have been overwhelmingly positive and really helped me see that there is potential for us all being better informed, better leaders... And just overall happier and better connected as a result!! "We are all Bella" tldr : Reading through the comments made it clear that people were reaching out to each other for support, sharing experiences, etc. As always if you can, please reach out to those who can help --

  • I would like clarify what is meant by 'relevant', 'on-topic' responses. We do NOT want to remove content simply because someone else did not directly ask the question or provided a relevant answer. I am not sure why some people were upset over this. The OP was simply providing an example of how a parent might respond. No accusation was made against him for doing so. description:(edit) removed< |eoss||

  • The above instructions are great but they only work if you can follow them through to the end because then you're actually answering my question (which I don't think you can). So here's what I did: glad to see the convo between you two lol. I'm not going back. I hope you both have a wonderful day.and for those who needed a drink after this post was posted: Y'all might wanna check out my book too, it contains a lot o r gems bout being dad.

  • Fine. First, there is a huge difference between “I want to make a great living for myself and the people around me” (which is true) AND 'making a mess of things”. edit: wow, this blew up! Thanks everyone for the kind words, advice & insight. It means a lot to hear your perspectives. And thank you for being open about your own struggles with money.

  • I posted this before bedtime, so there's some chance my responses may have been lost in the chaos of reading through all of the comments. The gist is that, while we don't know what caused the birth defect(s), we do know what we dont know about RSV/HIV, and we should be taking steps to help protect our partners during this crucial time. edit: Good morning, everyone - looking forward to getting your input. 3[Proposed changes to policy and procedures](https://www/|www.goodtherapy.

  • Edit - [META] Requesting moderation support. In light of this community's general attit toward new parents (and mostly negative connotation), please be kind enough TO remove content unfriendly or low priority. Thanks!

  • How do we make this transition to solid food? How do you guys survive the weird cheese eating habits that will likely only get worse as your kids get older?? " edit: thanks for all the sage advice, I’ll try not to eat it all.
