Am I an AH?

So my partner is in therapy for anxiety and depression and I'm not the biggest fan of his therapist, and he doesn't go regularly. I feel like I have to nag him about going.

How would you feel about someone hiding eggs at your front door with candy inside?

If you left the house and found that someone had left little colorful plastic Easter eggs with sealed candy (little Reece's or kitkats or jellybeans in unopened sealed bags), would that weird you out? We have so many extra eggs right now that I was thinking of leaving some for neighbors as a nice surprise, but then ...

Wake windows

What are your little ones’ wake windows looking like now? He always seems to be ready for a nap after 2 hours but doesn’t sleep longer than 1 hour so I wonder if I should try to stretch them a little and see if naps go longer too

Prams

Is there such a thing as a rear facing stroller without all the other inserts? My 4 month old is quite tall and growing out of her carry cot pram, but I’m not quite ready for her to be world facing just yet. I don’t really want a pram that comes with a carry cot as she likes to sit up now. Pic of my girl sat up in ...

Am I being an a hole?

My MIL keeps saying to my husband she doesn't feel she can talk to me. But it's because I will not stand for unsolicited advise.

High needs baby?? Did they grow out of it

I’m really starting to miss my old life. I love my baby but she requires so much and isn’t an “easy” baby and as a result I feel like I’m drowning. I can’t take her out because she hates the car seat, and I’m tired of taking her in the sling, as it limits where I can go. Not to mention she doesn’t sleep on the go an...
