Please help! We’ve been using Up & Up overnight diapers for months in size 7. I’m pretty sure Target is discontinuing them because they are clearanced out and out of stock. What is your go to other than Pampers? I really liked how these diapers worked better than Pampers for 1/2 the cost. We’re down to 4 overnight diapers. My boy is almost 3 and 36 pounds for reference.

I have been working at this mid-sized distribution center for three years now and the management has always been a bit biased when it comes to scheduling. But lately it has reached a point where I feel like I am being punished for not having kids . Last month the operations manager decided to implement a new "family-first" scheduling policy without any real discussion. Basically anyone with school-aged children gets first dibs on the 7 AM to 3 PM shifts so they can be home for pickup and extracurriculars. This means that those of us who are child-free are permanently relegated to the closing shift which ends at midnight. When I tried to bring this up during the last team meeting my supervisor just waved it off and said that my schedule is more flexible since I do not have "real responsibilities" waiting for me at home. It is incredibly insulting to hear that my time is worth less just because I prefer to spend it on my hobbies or seeing my friends instead of changing diapers. I have a life too and staying in a permanent late-night loop is starting to mess with my sleep cycle and my social life is basically non-existent now. The worst part is that when someone's kid gets a fever or has a school play I am always the first person they call to cover the shift. They act like it is a given that I will drop everything and come in because I "don't have a family." I started saying no recently and now the atmosphere in the office is incredibly tense. One of the moms actually called me selfish during lunch because I would not swap my Saturday off so she could go to some soccer tournament. She told me I was being "unsupportive of the team" but I fail to see how her choice to have three kids becomes my emergency every weekend. I am tired of paying this invisible tax of my time and energy just to subsidize the lifestyles of people who chose to have children. I work just as hard as everyone else and my output is actually higher because I am not constantly distracted by personal calls from school . If this is the direction the company is going I might just have to find a place that respects my boundaries regardless of my parental status. It is just a job at the end of the day but they treat it like a charity where I am the primary donor of free time . submitted by /u/Orbit_8Vellum to r/childfree [link] [comments]

Like the title says, my 17 month old boy pees through size 7 overnight pampers swaddlers. They have no size 8s, like they do in regular swaddlers and he is in. Help!! I hate that he wakes up soaked every morning :/ Update: he is a big boy, and will fill an overnight diaper, so they are definitely not too big. We may have to limit his liquid intake. submitted by /u/throw-a-way2001 to r/NewParents [link] [comments]

We’ve been using Pampers Pure diapers since birth and my daughter is now 17 months. She’s pretty cooperative for diaper changes so we haven’t needed to switch to the ones without tabs/360 version and I like the tabs and wetness indicator. Thing is- she’s petite, about 20 pounds right now but she’s currently in a size 7 diaper of the Pure version which says it’s for 40+ pounds?!?! We’ve always just followed her with sizing up- when she starts leaking pee we size her up. She’s always been wearing a diaper for a larger child like this but now we’re at a point where 7 is literally the largest size in this version. Am I doing this right??? Would it be leaking because it’s actually way too big? Does anyone follow the recommended weight sizing? Would love any thoughts! submitted by /u/CanIPetYourDog_1029 to r/NewParents [link] [comments]

I (24F) and my husband (23M) had a baby in October last year. The birth was as traumatic as the whole pregnancy. From the beginning I felt something was wrong and this being our first baby I worried more than I probably should have, but because I have PCOS we never thought I could get pregnant anyway and we were preparing to never having kids of our own. After getting that positive pregnancy test we scheduled an appt and everything went fine, until, we were at the 20 weeks appt and our Dr told us that I needed an emergency surgery if I didn’t want our baby to be born premature or loose him. After crying and Drs explaining things I don’t even remember till this day, I had a cerclage put in, which basically prevents my short cervix from dilating before 37 weeks and having a miscarriage. This was just the beginning. After that I couldn’t stand for even short periods of time or force my body to do anything that required lifting more than 20 pounds. I felt useless at home and at work. Later on, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and had to be put on 2 different types of insulin. I had to inject some in the morning, after breakfast, lunch and supper and before bed, not to mention avoid sweets at all costs. For our baby shower we had something small because we had bought everything we needed with exception of some things. My SIL got us 1 box of every size diapers, a big box of wipes, a mamaroo swing (around $200) and on top of that she bought everything for a onesie making station and her husband cooked a brisket, which they also paid for. She really went all out. We were very thankful. Because we were never able to regulate my sugars I ended up being induced at 37 weeks. When my baby finally came and they put him on my chest he didn’t cry and I had around 20 people in my room carrying for me and him trying to figure out what was going on. When they finally got him to cry, I was able to take him with me to my recovery room and hold him for the first time. It was the most beautiful moment of my life. When feeding time came around, nurses checked his sugars and his sugars were very low. They told me to feed him again and that they would check his sugars again in 1 hour. After they left, my husband gets up his chair and says “I’ll be right back”. As I sat there taking everything in when he comes back and right behind him is my SIL. I had no words. I had given birth almost 2 hours ago and was in no condition or mood for visitors, something me and my husband had talked about. I even had my parents, who flew all the way from Puerto Rico stay in a hotel until we were home from the hospital and ready for visitors. She walked right passed me and sat on a chair staring at our newborn. She had driven 2 hours and didn’t notify us once. From the pressure I said she could hold him, but inside I was impatient. She even took pictures of him, something I didn’t agree with. The nurses came back in and checked his sugars, unfortunately his sugars weren’t up so they took him to the NICU right after that. I didn’t even got to hold my son again before they took him, the nurse gave him to me for 1 minute so I could say goodbye. I was heartbroken and this complete stranger had held my son more than I had. She left and me and my husband had my very awaited conversation. He said he was sorry and that she never told him she was coming, she just decided it was okay to show up unannounced and we would be okay. When I was finally able to go to the NICU I had a Dr greet me and explain what was going on. My son had a traumatic birth. His shoulder had gotten stuck, he was very bruised and he was put in an incubator because he wasn’t able to hold his temp. No one really knew what was going on. Maybe a day had passed and my husband calls asking where I was (he had driven 1 hour and 30 minutes home to feed our dogs) I was at the NICU. They had done ultrasounds on him, checked his sugars every hour and done a bunch of lab work; they still didn’t know what he actually had going on. The doctors kept running test after test because something wasn’t adding up. I was devastated, all I could do was cry and pray that God would shed some light to the situation. When my husband comes in, he’s a little too quiet, so I asked him if everything was okay, to what he says “My sister is here”. I tried to argue I wanted to stay with my son, but he convinced me saying I couldn’t be at the NICU all day and night, that I needed someone to talk to. I agreed. I went to my room. I still hadn’t even showered, brushed my hair or my teeth. My priorities in that moment were my son and his well being. She came in and to my surprise, she had brought her husband and her 4 children. I felt like we were at the zoo, but my son was the main attraction. Her husband, my husband and I talked for a little while, but she stayed quiet. It was obvious she didn’t care about me or my husband. She wanted us to offer to take them to the NICU to see him, but I was not going to offer something I wasn’t comfortable with, plus the NICU is for babies who are sick, babies that need 24/7 attention to get better and 8 people in that small room was not in my mind at the moment, specially with them wanting to hold him. After 15 minutes they left and after a few hours she deleted my husband (her brother) from Snapchat. She was just being petty. My husband reached out to her, but didn’t get a response. A few days had passed and we had gotten some information about my son. He was no longer in an incubator, but he was on IV fluids and sodium because he couldn’t keep anything down. They did more ultrasounds, x rays and a CT scan. They had found a little vein on his brain that could bleed out and harm him. His platelets were down (this helps cloth the blood) so this was even more terrifying than not knowing what was going on. Also, his spleen and kidneys were enlarged and were pressing his intestines making him throw up. No news from my SIL until maybe day 4. She had sent my husband a long ass paragraph that summarized in “You guys were disrespectful and I just wanted to be there for you guys because no one was there for me”. That’s when I learned about postpartum rage :) After a week and two of the most amazing NICU nurses my son was able to come home with us and my parents were able to hold their first grandchild. I was a very strict mom tho. I had hand sanitizer in every room and I specifically requested that they wouldn’t kiss my baby anywhere. I didn’t want him to get the smallest of sicknesses and end up in the emergency room. Fast forwarding to now she didn’t call my husband on his birthday and has been ignoring us since. I received my baby shower pictures just recently and decided to send the ones she was in, but got no response. She posted on Facebook 40 minutes later, so I unfriended her on social platforms and just kept her number for emergencies. So, am I the asshole? submitted by /u/Coralis1022 to r/ComfortLevelPod [link] [comments]

I volunteer with a group that supplies diapers to families in our city, and we’ve noticed a trend that I don’t understand: many Spanish-speaking immigrant parents request size 7 and 8 diapers for their babies, even when the children are well below the “recommended” weight for those sizes. For example: * A 13-month-old, 20 lbs → size 7 * A 2-year-old, 30 lbs → size 8 Size 7 diapers are usually marketed for 40+ lbs, so these kids are definitely smaller than that. I’ve seen these babies in person. They’re not giant babies with chonky thighs. I get that every child’s build is different, but that doesn’t fully explain it. (And for context, my three year old is 35lbs, and he’s in the 60th percentile). I could also understand if a child pees a lot, but this is a pattern occurring across the board. We’re talking dozens upon dozens of families. The challenge is that size 7 and 8 diapers are hard to find and more expensive per diaper. A box of size 7 diapers at Costco is $50, and you get 104 (48¢ ea). A box of size 4 diapers is $40 and you get 198 (20¢ ea). Size 4 diapers are marketed for 22-37lb children. I’m curious if there’s a cultural reason for this? A misunderstanding between pounds and kilograms? I want to understand, not judge. Many of the families we work with are in hiding because of 🧊, so I know they may have reasons for being cautious or particular about what they request. I actually tried posting this on Parenting, but the mods removed it because they said “it sounded like I was going to beg for money and that I wasn’t a parent”. I am a mom of two, so this is coming from my own experience—I’m just trying to make sense of a trend I’ve seen firsthand. submitted by /u/WeddingPhotog2657 to r/NoStupidQuestions [link] [comments]

15 mo old and not close to potty training until at least 2.5 or 3 but I’m not sure lol he’s my first. My guy is so big I am afraid I am going to run out of diaper sizes? Did anyone else have this problem or am I being silly and over sizing the diapers? We have used Huggies since about 6 weeks old as has been best fit for bubba. He’s currently 15 months in size 6 Huggies but pushing size 7 (he’s just had another growth spurt lol). We’ve upgraded to size 7 overnights and it’s been better. For reference he’s 36 inches tall and 29 lbs, lean and tall not super chubby. Size 3T in tops and 2T on bottom. Yes, he’s very very tall, we are aware 😅. For those with tall and large babies, what brand diaper did you use? Thanks! submitted by /u/cutieconsultant to r/toddlers [link] [comments]

Hey all!😊 I’m humbly asking for meat (any kind, preferably hunted), full hygiene aisle restock, multiple smart TVs, brand name diapers ONLY (allergies🙄), bulk puppy food, furniture, rugs, lamps, knives, a dish rack, and possibly your firstborn! Pickup preferred, but drop off encouraged! Store pickup also acceptable if you’re doing the driving and paying!! Family isn't picky, just selective!

I am NOT the Original Poster. That is Funny_Leather_5540. She posted in r/AITAH Paragraph breaks added for readability. Thanks to u/BakingGiraffeBakes for the rec! Do NOT comment on Original Posts. Latest update is 7 days old. This has not been posted in this sub before. Mood Spoiler: some good but still a LOT unresolved and frustrating Original Post: January 4, 2026 I only have four days to make a decision. I have been going back and forth trying to decide if I should cancel my husbands birthday reservations I made for him at this really cool indoor golf place followed by reservations for dinner. He's always commented on wanting to try both and I thought it would make a nice gift. His birthday is only a few days after mine. For Christmas he legit took the time to buy and wrap me a box of diapers for our daughter in the next size up and presented it to me as my gift. I'm still angry about that. No, gag gifts for Christmas has never been a thing between us. Last year he got me a spatula and I thought this year he would do better after the falling out we had over the spatula. A little bit of Background info: Our daughter is now two months old and we have been working on replacing the floor and painting our home since before she was born with the goal of having it done before she can crawl. Over the summer he did the nursery floor and in the fall, a week before she was born, he did the flooring in our older son's room. Mind you, the flooring was given to us for free from my dad, and my dad bought my husband his own miter saw for Christmas to get the job done so we would no longer have to borrow his. I do all the painting. This past week as we have been clearing things out of our bedroom for me to do the painting and him the flooring he brought up my birthday. He said, "wow, all this work for your birthday gift." I said "Excuse me, what gift? He said "All the work of putting the flooring in our bedroom, but don't worry I'll still do a dinner for you and we can invite your mom and my family, what do you want me to cook?" I said "I would like to just have a quiet birthday dinner, you, me and the kids at Longhorn Steak House, come home and watch a movie together. Also, the flooring is not my gift. This is something we've been planning now for a year. And with the house torn up, I don't want to host anyone in our home especially after having hosted for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Besides we don't even have a place for people to sit. We have all the bedroom furniture, and our clothing in the living room. I'm currently sleeping on the mattress on the floor in here. Plus, I'm not a fan of your brother coming over so you two can sit and just drink beer all evening while I watch our and his kids." He said no, I'm going to cook at home, just tell me what you want me to cook. I said "Ok, I want to do steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans." (But there is a problem here, he can't make mashed potatoes to save his life and only likes green beans if their boiled. I like fresh green beans slowly sautéed with olive oil, garlic and herbs. So if I want it cooked this way, I will have to do it.) He said "no, we're not doing steak, it will cost to much if the family comes over. I'll just do a chicken." I lost it. I said again, "For MY birthday... I DO NOT want people over." He kept arguing the issue and I said "fine, do what you want for my birthday." Side note: Last year, he ordered the traditional tres leches cake but he ordered it with peaches. I hate peaches, he likes peaches. I like strawberries. Plus, my name was spelled wrong on the birthday cake, he thought it was hilarious. I am now seriously considering cancelling his b-day golf outing & dinner reservations, leaving home if he invites his family for my birthday, buying him a box of diaper wipes and presenting it with a card that says "Happy birthday. I painted the house for you." Would I be the Asshole? OOP's only comment: To a longer comment: Thank you. This is the first post I've read that basically wasn't calling me an asshole for not divorcing him over Christmas and birthday this year. And yea, about 2 weeks after Christmas last year, when I had time relax, I asked him for a genuine answer about the spatula as a gift and what the hell he was thinking. He said that he was at the store and saw that it was blue, the type of blue I like and and he thought of me and thought that it would match the utensil holder and our blue microwave that I found in the store one day and geeked over. He said he thought I would like it because of the pretty blue color. That's about as deep as the thought went. He said that he never thought the gift would be sexist, or imply that I had to do more cooking for him. To make up for the spatula though he did go out and buy me the KitchenAid stand up mixer I had my eye on for over 2 years. I was really happy about it...Until he said "So when are you going to make me some homemade bead?" We had the talk about never, ever buying kitchen appliances for someone as a gift unless directly asked for. That kitchen things used by the whole family is not a gift for one person. When I am no longer angry about the diapers, I'll be able to calmly ask him "after the 2024 Christmas spatula debacle, what the hell were you thinking gifting me diapers 2025." I mean hell, I'm thinking if this is how its gonna be, we might just make it a pact to buy each other practical gifts for the home. No more disappointment that way. Update (Same Post): Later that day Update: Birthday plans: I have since logged in and cancelled his birthday golf outing and dinner reservations for next week. Tomorrow is my birthday and his day off work so he will be watching baby as I have also booked myself for a 90 minute massage. After that I will be stopping by Starbuck for my favorite drink and one hour of un-interrupted time with my new book that my son got me for Christmas. Then I will be picking him up from school and taking him to go see a movie. I will round off the day by coming home, taking a long hot bubble bath, ordering DoorDash and ending my day holding baby girl. That sounds like an amazing birthday to me. For him, I will just be getting him a card that reads "Happy Birthday, I painted the house for you." The bag will contain a case of diaper wipes. If he looks disappointed, I will just tell him "I cancelled the Golf outing and dinner reservations and instead go this bulk pack of wipes; the perfect gift to accompany the box of diapers you got me for Christmas." He will get the message. Divorce: As for the people advocating for divorce, kicking him to the curb, leaving with the kids in the middle of the night, claiming that he isn't a good husband to me and father to our baby, please know that you only got one little glimpse into our life. He is a loving and caring father to our children. We struggled with infertility for a very long time so this baby was a surprise but a welcomed blessing. Every day I prayed to not miscarry and even feared death during labor as my pregnancy was high-risk. He took a month off of work to care for me as I recovered from 3 degree tearing and a bruised tailbone. Every night he does the night time routine: Bath, pajamas, story time, and rocks baby girl to sleep. While he does that, I do the house reset: dishes, garbage, sweep. He wakes with me for all her feedings and prioritizes my sleep over his to make sure that I am rested enough to care for our daughter during the day. This is the same man who, during pregnancy, cooked me breakfast every morning and massaged my feet every night. Before he leaves for work every day he will make sure I have time to self-care (shower, brush my teeth, eat breakfast, and pump) before handing me the baby (if she's awake). Then he will make sure I am happy on the couch with baby girl and anything I could need before he leaves-blanket, remote, water cup, my phone, phone charger, a clean binky and bottle for baby. As soon as he get's home from work, he will take her and give me 30 minutes to myself before we start talking dinner plans. We make a good team when it comes to daily life. I don't have to make him lists of things to do. I like that when were low on milk, he will just pick it up on his way home without having to be asked and he doesn't wait for a "thank you" like he did me some big favor the way I have seen other men seek gratitude for doing basic tasks. He sucks at gift giving and this year and last year, so yes! I will be doing nothing for him for his birthday. Despite the shitty thoughtless gift and non-birthday birthday plans, I will be holding off on kicking him out and just matching his energy for his birthday. For Christmas 2026, I think I will get him an IKEA toddler bed to assemble for our daughter and call it a day. Update 2 (Same Post): January 6, 2026 (Next Day) Birthday update: Yesterday was my birthday. Hubby surprised me with breakfast out at my favorite local spot and we did a Home Depot run for more flooring. After that, I did go for my massage, It was wonderful, and I did stop at Starbuck for my free birthday drink. I didn't have time to sit and read before I had to pick my boy from school, but that's ok. Instead of going to see a movie at the theater we came home and began a Harry Potter Movie marathon. I LOVE Harry Potter. However, my son, without my knowing, had texted my dad and my best friend to come over and surprise me with a visit. He didn't know that I had already had my best friend and her niece scheduled to come over to look through a pile of clothes before I took a large haul to donate at the Salvation Army. It was so much fun watching her niece try on dresses. We wrapped up the night with some pizza and cheesy bread. Hubby surprised me with a little gift: two new books, a pack of my favorite cookies, and a squishy niffler that I can add to my Harry Potter book shelf. Overall, I had a great day. :) OOP's Comments: OOP comments a stand alone comment and is downvoted: I am disappointed that an AITA post became a dumping ground for people advocating for divorce... He does not deserve to lose his family. I don't deserve to become a single mother, and my children don't deserve to have their family torn apart over this. I was only looking to see if I would be an ASS for matching his energy when it comes to gift giving, not throw the whole marriage away. However, because of all the negative comments, calling me an asshole if I don't leave him, telling me that I have no self-worth. I have decided that I am going to still make the original birthday plans I had for him happen. I'm going to do it not because he didn't do something for me, I'm going to do it because I want my kids to see him happy. I want him to be happy. I want my son to see me do the right thing and not be petty. Despite how I felt on Christmas/birthday he is such a good father & husband in other ways and that is something I don't need to justify here on Reddit to make other people feel good. My original idea to be petty and match his energy died when I read all the hateful comments here on Reddit. So thank you Reddit readers, all the hate made me see how small this really was in comparison. He sucks at gift giving but is still worthy of love and respect for all the rest that he does for me and this family the other 363 days in a year. Marriage takes work, time and a whole lot of patience. No relationship lives in perpetual happiness because we are human and we make mistakes. CatPerson88: My husband wasn't quite this bad, but he did get me a vacuum during one of our first Christmases together. He got a lecture about what giving a woman household appliances says, especially when your wife also works full time... I learned to send him a list of specific items in a wide price range. He still occasionally screws up, but he's much better. We're still married 30+ yrs. Set ground rules. If he's a poor gift giver, I recommend doing what I do- when it's time to get you a gift, offer him a specific list, with site links, sizes, and colors. Any home repairs in lieu of gifts is to be discussed openly, not assumed, and both parties need to agree. It will get better. OOP: (downvoted) Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I'm thinking that next year I will be making him an Amazon wish list and sending it to him. He can pick something off that list and it will still be a surprise as to what he chose. submitted by /u/LucyAriaRose to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Looking for recommendations on overnight diapers. My baby girl is 11 weeks old and will go 5-7 hours between bottles at night. She usually wears Huggies little snugglers which are great during the day and even when she gets the 5 hour mark they’re still good. When she gets closer to 7 though they leak. The smallest Huggies overnight I can find are size 3 and I can’t really find any diapers marked overnight that are size one. I have found pampers baby-dry in size one and thought about trying those. submitted by /u/Defiant-Usual-1182 to r/Parenting [link] [comments]

Hi all, If you have a smallish kindergartener who's still wetting the bed what are you putting them in? Mine is leaking out of size 6. I see size 7 for 41+ lb and the overnight underwear (goodnites style) for 40-65lb. He's not quite 40lb. Will the goodnites be too big? Will size 7 hold enough?

What’s the consensus on these? I have a ton of size 1-3 after my baby shower but no newborn. Are they worth getting? I’m 33w+5 and baby measured today at 5lbs (obviously an approximate) and doctor thinks at this rate between a 7-8lbs baby at birth. submitted by /u/kb_picasso to r/pregnant [link] [comments]

According to every diaper size chart I've seen, my 7-month-old should be in size 2 diapers. She's in size 4 diapers and already starting to size out of them. She is a perfectly average baby, 30th percentile for height, 60th percentile for weight, 70th percentile for head size. I'm a little bit concerned about what we're going to do when she sizes out of children's diapers, if size 4 diapers are supposed to be for toddlers? We are doing elimination communication and it's going well, so hopefully I'll have her potty trained at that point, but are those size charts just full of bologna or do I have an unusually shaped baby? ETA: Thank you everybody who helped me understand that their growth slows down. This is my first child so I have no basis for comparison, I was worried she was going to keep increasing diaper sizes every month or two! submitted by /u/HeyPesky to r/NewParents [link] [comments]

Edits/Clarification at bottom So my wife (38f) and I (36m) have been together 8 years. We live in my home state of Arkansas, she is from San Diego. Every year she wants to visit home, we used to fly but since we have a kid (2f) she now wants to drive. I have no problem using all my vacation days for this, she lives here. Traveling is a pain because she overpacks. Used to fill my CX-7 FULL, but work gave me a $900 car allowance and we used that to get a full size Surburban. This time she loaded THAT full. I mean front passenger to the ceiling so I can't see the mirrors full. We didn't use hardly any of it. Every stop I carried everything into the hotel because she was afraid it would get stolen. It's 3 days each way Got through it, told her she makes traveling miserable because she is also super late. Tell her 10am. She might arrive by noon. So Every day we don't leave the hotel until 12, then she insists we drive until midnight, ugh, unfun Anyway. This weekend I was sent on a work conference. They got me a sweet hotel room, week at a nice resort, super excited. We were going to go and leave the baby. Day before she cancels my mom watching to bring our child. Fills the suburban full, again. Mind you, it's my work trip. 5 days, 5 nights Most of the stuff was just over packing. She brought a tote of blankets. One of towels. Two of her clothes! Totes!! I told her she makes it miserable (the hotel always gets cluttered and full, the night before we leave is always a mess trying to pack and her "organizing" stuff she brought that never gets used. She freaked out, told me i just want to go hook up and cheat at these things (I invited here) and she is filing for a divorce because I told her "your overpacking and insisting we fill every vehicle full and always being late makes me.miserable".. we were 3 hours late leaving to get to the conference, so I missed the networking opening night which is where in my industry people tend to clic up afterwards to a degree. I missed going to the best vendor events, etc, because she insisted that I don't leave because she was overwhelmed with how messy the hotel room was. (Mind you, it was all the stuff she brought, took out of totes, and never used, and the toddler then destroyed. AITAH? Edits Yes I am involved in raising our child. I actually packed for our trip, I had one bag for baby to go to mom's (toys, diapers, food, etc). A big bag but one large suitcase. I had a bag packed for wife and one for me. Yes, she had ADHD She always says she doesn't want to do this, then trip comes and she does it. I am not a cheater. She accused me of it last time I went solo. I am exhausted. If she left me I think I would be done with relationships, my own mental health is wrecked My boss wasn't mad, he found the whole thing hilarious when I told him. He skipped half of the conference himself. My job wasn't threatened, but to me it was. I tried the whole packing thing for her and me. I have tried to just accept her issues, but it's gotten worse. When we first got together it was she needed a large checked bag for a 2 day trip to Las Vegas. Now she needs an entire suburban for a week trip. One of issues is the vehicle is so full. If it was just the back, I might be able to deal. But it's so full I can't even see the side mirror.. I've expressed how unsafe that is and she doesn't care just yells that I don't understand Yes she comes from a hoarder background submitted by /u/Ok-Cut-9597 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/PleasantMango777 Originally posted to r/AITAH AITAH for blowing up at my son's father and grandmother when I found out they trashed my son's formula and pacifiers? Editor's note: added paragraph breaks and made small edits for ease of readability Trigger Warnings: destruction of property, misogyny, child neglect Mood Spoilers: infuriating and depressing Original Post: June 25, 2025 So I (20f) live with my boyfriend (28m) and his parents. Despite being on birth control, our son is a oops baby. He came early at 36 weeks, I was scared shitless by the labor and delivery nurses telling me he would need NICU time (he didn’t), he would have feeding or breathing problems (he didn’t), and he was just overall small, and I ended up with a second degree tear due to him being sunny side up and now almost 7 weeks later it still hurts to sit down and move certain ways. I still have back pain from where they placed the epidural. My recovery hasn’t been easy. My stitches are healing well for the most part and I'm going to get an IUD placed to have a more permanent type of birth control because even after being on the birth control pills for 2 years, they aren't 100% pregnancy proof Since my son was born early the nurses gave him formula at first. I really didn't care? I just wanted my son to be healthy and be able to come home. My son's father/boyfriend and his family have pushed me to breastfeed all through my pregnancy. It wasn't ever something that really crossed my mind my goal was just to have a healthy baby and we both survive. The hospital also gave us a pacifier and my son's grandma said that pacifiers were just a crutch that babies didn't need and I was setting him up to "have teeth problems and need braces later on" I tried pumping with the hospital grade pump and it hurt. I tried breast feeding my son but it hurt and a lactation consultant at the hospital said I would struggle with breast feeding due to my anatomy and the fact my son has a tongue tie. I just said ok whatever, let's give him formula. My son's father's family (especially his mom) were NOT happy about it. While I'm up changing diapers and bottle feeding my son, she's also up and in my ear telling me how breast is best and "you never know what's exactly in formula!" (spoiler alert she breast fed my son's father and his 3 siblings so I guess it's like some sort of pride thing for her? Idk, she was the same way with my boyfriend's sister when she had her kids) My son's father even said one time it would be "hot" to see me breast feed and to be honest that just gave me the ick so bad I haven't gone back to work yet (despite me applying to jobs left and right) so whatever my son's father brings in with his paychecks is how I'm surviving right now. It's been tough and I have to pretty much justify how I spend "his" money. "Why did I spend so and so at Walmart?" Our son needed diapers, wipes and formula. A can only lasts so long. "Well why can't you start back breast feeding to save money?" I don't want to! Our son is happy and healthy and thriving on formula. My son's father won't even make him bottles because he thinks it's "unnatural" when I supposedly can just magically make breast milk appear again. My son had an appointment this morning to check his weight with the pediatrician because while he is gaining weight, it's been slow and he's been spitting up the formula. Ended up being gone for longer than I wanted to because the pediatrician's office was running behind. When I got back to the house, I went to make my son a bottle and found the formula canister empty. My son is crying for his milk and I ask his father what happened to the formula can because it was still half full. He just shrugs and goes "it looked old so I threw it out" I asked him why would he do such a fucking stupid thing and he yelled at me not to "talk to him that way". Then his mom came into the kitchen and yelled at me for "disrespecting" her son. I had to grab the formula can out of the trash can and saw all of the dumped formula powder just sitting there along with my son's pacifiers all mixed in with the garbage. At this point my son's grandma picked him up and was trying to console him because he was getting upset. She started backing up my son's father saying the formula he's on always looks "expired" and old and gross. I ended up yelling "OH MY GOD" and called my son's father selfish and shitty for wasting something so important It ended up with his mom yelling at me to get out of her house and she refused to give me my son as he was crying. I lost it on her and screamed at her "GIVE ME MY FUCKING BABY" and she threatened to call the police on me for verbally abusing her and physically abusing my son I ended up leaving with my son to a friend's house and thankfully had a sample can of his formula stashed away in the diaper bag I keep in my car along with the two small sample cans the pediatrician's office gave me today. Both my son's father and grandma have texted me, asking me to come back and saying I shouldn't have been so "dramatic" and that my son's father was just "trying to be careful". He wasted the baby’s food and put my son in a difficult situation, and he doesn’t even get it. Neither does his mom since she's backing him up on this They're both making me feel so guilty. I'm just trying to keep my son alive. I ended up calling my mom to talk to someone about this whole mess and she agreed with my son's grandma about how I should have breast fed (or at least used donor milk lol) but she also said I'm the mom and can make my own decisions about my son. I asked her if we could stay with her for a couple of days and my mom said she just didn't have room for us (which is fair she has my 4 younger siblings living with her as it is). I feel so mad and frustrated. I'm literally on hold with my son's pediatrician's to see if they can give me any more sample cans before I go back to my son's father's house. AITAH for getting mad over formula being trashed or was my son's father in the right here? Edit: My friend loaned me enough cash to get my son a can of formula thank god. My son's pediatrician's office never picked up so I left a message for the receptionist and I’m hoping they will get back to me before they close. We can only stay with my friend for maybe a couple of days because I don't have anything beyond what’s in the diaper bag for my son. I'm going to apply for WIC and SNAP benefits and see if a lawyer will help me get sole custody of my son. I'm not married to his father and I really don't want to go back to his mom's house if I don't have to. I should have grabbed some of my own stuff but I was so angry I just wanted to get out of there. Going back to playing phone tag and trying to get help to get us out of this situation. A huge thank you to the redditor who helped me with finding resources in my county and offered to help with stuff like diapers for my son so we don't have to go back to his dad's/grandma's. I have a lot of places to call tomorrow to hopefully get the ball rolling AITAH has no consensus bot, OOP was NTA Relevant Comments Commenter 1: NTA and this is abuse on them. I'm going to guess that they are "religious" too. Got to their pastor and his wife to sort this out. When the Dr and mom(you) agree it's nobody else's business. OOP: they are very religious. my boyfriend's mom wouldn't even throw me a baby shower because we weren't married and my son is considered a "bastard". I can't wait to be given the ok to go back to work (once a job actually calls me back and I can find a daycare spot for my son) so I can move out. I’m so tired of living with every single one of my choices being under fire/questioned like I just didn't give birth. given the fact my own mother kicked me out, it was either living with my boyfriend and his mom or just being homeless while pregnant Commenter 2: Do not go back. Go to your parents house.. OOP: I don't have a parents house to go back to, my dad is listed as "unknown" on my birth certificate and my mom kicked me out when I told her I was pregnant because she has my younger siblings to take care of. it was either living with my boyfriend and his mom or just being homeless while pregnant. working on finding a more permanent shelter since we can only stay with my friend for a day or two at most   Update: June 27, 2025 (two days later) hi everyone, I know a lot of people wanted an update. things haven't exactly gotten better but they haven't gotten much worse. so here's an update for those who wanted it I don't have a parents home to go back to for those telling me to go back to my moms or dads. my dad is listed as "unknown" on my birth certificate and my mom kicked me out when I told her I was pregnant because she has my younger siblings to take care of. it was either living with my boyfriend and his mom or just being homeless while pregnant. I didn't think my son's father and grandmother would screw me over so badly like this though my son's pediatrician's office did call me back yesterday morning (I couldn't get through to anyone Wednesday afternoon) and I was able to go in and they gave me a list of resources. most I already knew about like wic and snap but they also gave me the number to a women’s shelter in my area (I live really rural so there's only one that was listed). I gave them a call, explained my situation and they asked if I was in any immediate danger. I said no, I had left with my son. she asked if I planned on going back and I said no. she asked if any physical abuse had happened and I told her that my son's grandma refused to give him to me until I started yelling but she said that didn't count because it wasn't physical. she also said I couldn't keep my son away from his father but my son's father and grandmother haven't tried contacting me since Wednesday when I left. she gave me the number of legal aid in my county and said to complete the eligibility application and she would contact me when a spot opens up at the shelter (this was yesterday and I’ve tried calling this morning with no luck on getting anyone on the phone). my son's pediatricians office also gave me all of their newborn and size 1 diapers they had in stock and another sample can of formula for him for those saying I need to get a job, get a lawyer, save money....I know that. I just got cleared to go back to work at my 6 week post partum check up. my last job was working as a cashier at a gas station and I only made 9 bucks an hour. I’ve applied to jobs but I can't make anyone hire me on the spot. if it weren't for my friend loaning me money to get my son a full cannister of formula, he would be surviving off the sample cans I had in the diaper bag and what the pediatrician gave me on Wednesday. my friend let us crash with her from Wednesday night until today. her roommate comes back home and I don't blame them for not wanting me and my newborn to sleep on their couch. trying to convince my mom to let us come crash with her until the shelter can find us a bed but I don't think that's going to work out either. I filled out the eligibility application for legal aid yesterday and I am really really hoping I hear something back soon. I tried calling custody lawyers after googling them and out of the few I spoke to, only one was considered "low fee" but they wanted a deposit of over a thousand dollars which I don't have and I am terrified of my son's father using his mother's money to get custody of my son and keep him away from me. one really kind person here on reddit offered to get my son diapers and wipes so I wouldn't go through what little I had in the diaper bag. I also got a lot of really weird and some down right hateful messages too. yes, I know I shouldn't have had a kid at 20. yes I "should have kept my legs closed" and a lot of you have some really strong preferences for breast feeding. it just wasn't something I felt I could do. it wasn't something I wanted to do. I literally never thought my son's grandmother and his father would act like lunatics over this. no, I am not giving my son up for adoption, no I’m not dropping him off at a fire house. I am doing the best I can under these circumstances. I plan on applying for all of the government help I can get once I have a permanent place to lay my head, I’ve been running off fumes and trying to wrap my head around everything. I’m still in shock over it all and I know I need to get sole custody of my son and keep him away from his dad and grandmother. it's not like I can start lactating again at 7 weeks post partum but boy did I get a lot of messages telling me I didn't try hard enough or didn't care enough about my son because I feed him formula. I keep staring at my phone waiting for the shelter to call to say they have a spot for us. I feel so bad for my son that this is what his life is like and I’m angry at myself for everything too. I’m hoping I can get the ball moving on getting assistance and getting a lawyer and finding something more stable for us soon. I know it isn't much of an update but I know a lot of people were concerned and asking for one. I’ll try to update again when I have better news to share edit: you guys I am doing every thing I can here. I cannot make a lawyer take my case if I don't have the funds for a deposit.

I don't want my son going back to that house unless he just has to because of custody reasons or whatever Commenter 1: Do you have a court ordered custody agreement? I’m assuming no and if that’s the case, there should be no legal obstacle to you relocating with your son to access resources - housing (women’s shelter), food or a job. Please call other shelters away from your area to see if there is room. You ARE in danger of imminent homelessness and are without resources. Don’t downplay your situation when on an intake call OOP: no, no court ordered custody agreement or any thing like that.

My 2yo / 35lbs daughter has always been a great sleeper, we always sized up for overnight diapers and we're now at Huggies overnight size 7. but since a couple of weeks ago pee is leaking from it, she drinks a lot of water and sleeps on her belly. We are waking up probably an hour earlier or so than usual with her bed all wet... We tried the 2-3T pull ups and it's even worse. These retain less water Any advise? I see that Huggies make size 8 regular diapers (overnights are capped at 7) but I feel overnight diapers hold more water, it's not a size issue but a water holding issue submitted by /u/1uisf to r/toddlers [link] [comments]

My 15-week-old guy is sleeping through the night “technically” with one wake up typically. 7:30pm-3:00 am. Precious Little Sleep noted to avoid changing diapers unless they poop. So we’ve been doing that. This morning my LO had peed through the diaper. I felt AWFUL for not changing him during his middle of the night feed, and I’m not sure how to not change him once we start sleep training in a few weeks. Should I go back to changing or is there some sort of overnight diaper we can try? I’m only seeing overnight diapers that start at size 3. He’s a little over 15 lbs. EDIT: Thank you so much for the suggestions and tips. I definitely feel better. I’m going to try a few 3s and maybe a coterie just for overnights. submitted by /u/AncientTune5996 to r/sleeptrain [link] [comments]

Oh haaaii! Just made this new Reddit account to party with everybody. A little about myself: I’m incredibly photogenic I love building. Love VLSI, analog/digital circuitry, microarchitecture, assembly, OS design, network design, VM/JIT, distributed systems, ios/android/web, 3d modeling/animation/rendering. Recently got into 3d printing - fucking LOVE it. My 3d printer enables me to make nearly anything and have it materialize on my desk in a few hours. I love people. When I first became a manager, I discovered how amazing the human mind really is and endeavoured to learn everything I can. I love studying the relationship between our limbic and rational selves, how communication breaks down, what motivates people / teams, and how to build amazing cultures. I’m currently learning everything I can about what constitutes a strong company culture and trying to make the discussion of culture more rigorous than it currently is in the valley. My current non-Reddit projects are making a grocery list iOS app that’s super simple and just does the right thing (trying out App Engine for backend). And the other is making this full size fully functional thing. I’m suuuuper excited to be here! I don’t know much at all yet (I’ve been an official employee for… 7 hours?), but I plan to do an AMA in 30 days (Sept 20ish) once I know a lot more. I’ll try to answer whatever questions I can, but I may have to punt on some of them. I gots an hour at the moment, then will go home and change diapers, then answer more as time permits. If you are interested in joining our engineering team, please head over to reddit.com/jobs.
