You're a shitty excuse for a man and I should've ran when you told me you still lived at home with your mom at 33 and have never attempted to move out.
I should've ran when you told me haven't held down a consistent job in your life except for being a drug dealer.
I should've ran when you told me your ex wife ran away because of problems that we're still having now.
I should've ran when I caught you feeling yourself in front of your (female) best friend.
I should've ran when I found out I was pregnant.
I should've ran when I'd come home from work pregnant and tired, and all you'd want to do is play video games or have sex.
I should've ran you didn't bother doing anything on our first Valentine's, followed by my first mother's and still nothing.
I should've ran when you promised to always help but I'm still the sole caregiver to our child. "Well you should've asked me". BULLSHIT.
I dislike you, I dislike your family, I dislike your mediocre love, I dislike your friends that you prioritize over me, I dislike how all you do all day- be it cigarettes or pot, I dislike how smelly you are, I dislike how you manage to be tired all the time despite doing NOTHING, I dislike how you never listen to me, I dislike how you're always picking your nose or bumps and touching everything afterwards, I dislike how neglected you make me feel, I dislike so much about you.
Don't think for a second I didn't notice your moustache smelled like privates today. Shame on you. But I enjoy being away from you so go right ahead.
I will leave you once I get my degree and I will happily be single.

I (F42) didn't think posting a picture of some random destruction D4 and her best friend M4 (He's confirmed on the spectrum) got into while I ran to the grocery store (S18 was supposed to be watching them) would end in mom shaming and losing a friend.
D4 was a 'planned accident'. My DH45 and I had decided not to have a kid since he brought 3 kids into the relationship, and we both have arthritis and other health issues. But then my birth control failed, I was pregnant long enough to get used to the idea, and then miscarried. We decided to try for a rainbow baby and had our beautiful D4.
D4 is a whole different monster than her brother was, and, like i said, I'm not the young mom I used to be. My sleep schedule is shit. My DH gets home from work at 4 am, and if I am not asleep before then, usually I don't fall asleep until after the sun comes up. I have unmanaged fibromyalgia and arthritis, so I am in constant pain and can barely get out of bed some days.
My depression and anxiety are not well managed either, I am on the 4th different different medication this year to try and help with it, but... Yeah. A lot of my depression comes from not being able to be the same Uber functional mom for D4 as I was with S18. I keep telling myself it's a different situation, S18 had been in daycare from age 1 on because I was working and going to college. D4 has never been in daycare, I actually quit my last job to become a SAHM when my DH was moved to second shift. I was also lot younger with S18 and my issues were managed better when he was little. I also had help from roommates for a majority of S18's childhood

Maybe things are different now, but I can remember playing outside alone in an unfenced yard when I was very young. It was drilled into me from birth not to fuck shit up and not to leave the yard, and I did neither. But parenting was different then.

Any time a parent says they think their brat is "on the spectrum" without any official diagnosis, I immediately assume the child is an undisciplined brat and Moo is trying to pass the buck by blaming the kid's awful behavior on a disease rather than her parenting failures. And a vast majority of the time, I'm right.

Also, why the fuck would these two retards go and make a brat on purpose when both have arthritis and a myriad of other health problems? Dealing with a gaggle of kids is bad enough, doing it in middle age is worse and doing it in middle age when you're sick long-term is just asking for trouble.

I'm female and I've seen too many women say they are not ready for kids or tell the guy they are okay with not having any, but they get married and suddenly stop using the BC.

So I have two children, with fairly unique first names. They are both very meaningful to my husband and I and they really compliment one another. Both names have special significance to us, one for my grandmother who passed, the other is unique and very sentimental. The names also flow together really well. It was planned this way! My BIL and his wife are expecting a baby, and they’ve decided they like our kids names so much, that they’ve combined my two kid’s first names TOGETHER to create their baby’s name. Phonetically, it is an actual combination of my children’s names! This isn’t speculation, this was deliberate. So now, all of our children’s entire names will sound so similar, with phonetically similar cultural middle names given by our families, and they will share SAME last name.
I’m trying not to be a petty bitch, but I’m extremely annoyed. They took the only piece of my children’s names that came from me, and forced me to share it.
Just ranting because I would never actually say this to them. They’re excited first time parents who love this name. I just wish they would have been more original.

And then the in-laws who are naming their kid Antonia or whatever, suffer from the opposite problem, complete lack of originality. There are more than 3 names in the world. They had to know that most people don't want three kids with the same name in the same generation of the family. Maybe they only see each other once a year, but it's still unnecessary.

I’m kind of with the OP moo on this one, not because I think she has a special right to those two names, but because someone saying “I like your two kid’s names so much, I’m going to Frankenstein them together to make a name for my one kid!” is fuckin’ weird.

So my folks are your typical right-wing boomers, who believe that hitting and yelling at your kids is sufficient discipline. My child is 2.5 years old and behaves like well a toddler should. She is bossy, strong-willed, and of course throws age appropriate tantrums. I have told my parents that I am not going to spank my child. My method of discipline, which is a mixture of time out (1-2-3 Magic) and natural consequences, has been proven to be more effective on her than spanking will ever be. My parents always mock anti-spankers saying that if they don't spank their kids they will be brats, which is utterly absurd.
So we were video chatting with my parents and my child started pushing her boundaries and tried to boss me around, and I shut her down immediately saying that we use nice words in this house. My mom goes "OMG she is sooo bossy". I say, "She's a toddler, what do you expect ?". Then my toddler hits the dog, and i put her in time out. Toddler starts wailing and my parents say that I should have spanked her. I then was so enraged that I told them that this is my child and I will discipline her as I see fit. They didn't like that so they left. Who do these people think they are anyway?

Hello, first post here. Long story short, my husband and I have no one that we can rely on. We have three kids and since my middle one was born we have not been able to go anywhere or do anything "just us". My family lives in our town but none of them can be relied upon including my mom, dad and siblings. My mother and father are narcissists, so they enjoy watching me squirm, not getting any help and not getting any alone time with my husband. My husband's family lives out of town so they're out of the question.
For years we have stayed home, not gone out anywhere, no dinners together, no alone time. By the time we get the kids to sleep every night, it's so late, we're exhausted and we just pass out. We rotate on and off so that we can get time out of the house alone, but it's never together. He goes to hang out with his buddy here and there and I do the shopping and to the gym. It's causing resentment, it's making us crazy! We've tried reaching out on social media for babysitters, but we've not found anyone trustworthy or worth the bullcrap or we just get no response. It's making us angry at the fact that we get no break, we're resentful towards my family who doesn't seem to care at all that I've reached out, who don't want to help but act like they care so much when they're in front of your face. I see others getting to go out, even though they have kids too and it makes me jealous and resentful that we can't get any help. I don't know what to do, my husband and I love each other very much and absolutely love and enjoy our beautiful children, but I think it's imperative once in a while to get that break- that recharge time away from your kids to just rest from the rigors of Parenthood and to get the kids around other family members to enrich them and enjoy them.
I'm struggling with resentment, sadness, I feel like nobody actually cares the way they say they do. I'm at my wit's end, I just want some help. I try and imagine we are in a foreign town and we have no one else around us so that it doesn't make me so upset. What do you guys do if you have nobody to help?

So dumb, honestly. I don't even know why I'm venting here. I just don't have anyone else.
When I was 5 months pregnant (2019) my 9 year old and myself both got the flu, really bad. I was already spotting because I have a subchorionic (?) Hematoma.
Anyway, my husband comes home from work and says 'my ex's (kids mom) grandma called me and wants me to go hook up her roku tonight' I said, 'i can't get out of bed, I don't even know if my son is even okay cause he's also so sick he can't get out of bed, tell her not tonight that we are sick, and you can come another night'
He refused. Big fight. Took his 2 kids and left to her house. Left my pregnant ass with the flu and bleeding and my 9 year old with the flu home. Leaves for almost 4 hours. When he comes back we argue, he tells me to get over it. She paid him by making them tacos. Jesus.
I'm starting to bleed pretty heavily so I say 'i really think I need to go to the ER and get checked out. I'm concerned.' he says 'have fun. Go by yourself'
So I did. It was awful, they kept telling me I was having a miscarriage, didn't do any ultrasound, nothing. I'm a wreck. There's a tornado siren outside going off. I finally get home after midnight and he's sound asleep in bed.
So, fast forward to now. I ask him if he can fix the TV for some elder members of my family. He said 'nope. Not unless there's an incentive for me to do it.' um what the actual fuck. I reminded him of said incident and he says 'they fed me and gave me $20' um, no they didn't. Unless you forgot to mention that part to me. But he still won't so SHIT for my family or friends. Nothing. Unless he's getting something out of it. But if it's his family, co workers or friends, he will literally bend over backwards to help.
I'm so done. I'm over it.
I said 'i want to ask you why you feel that way, I want to argue it. But it makes no fucking difference. Anything that is important to me is shit, so I don't even ask' But then he acts offended that we didn't ask him.
I'm going to rip my fucking hair out... GRRRR

I agree. Portmanteau names are great for a separate stage identity or an indie band, but it's not the sort of thing that should be encouraged in a regular, everyday setting, given the propensity for modern breeders to name their kids after everything from days of the week to backwards nouns and the first five letters of the alphabet...

LOL I haven't even looked at the respoinses but it's not hard to figure out with her constant references to "family" and "help."
She wants to dump her brood on family or friends for free. The people who are getting babysitters are willing to PAY for them.
I would bet $ that she is one of those Moos who bleats that she herself deserves $150,000/year for watching her own kids, cleaning her house and fixing them meals, yet anyone else should watch them for free.
And ever notice these whiners often have a lot of kids? Does anyone think having three humans wouldn't be a shit show most of the time, particularly when they are little?

The behavior specialist mentioned something about how in the last 5 years, their studies are showing brand new behaviors in toddlers that has never been heard of before. That I’m not alone. That while he’s a bit of a severe case, he’s not as extreme as the twins who had to spend a week in a psych ward (?!?).
