Eczema can be really intractable and depending on how severe his is it might be that washing his hands every time could cause outbreaks.

I think some of you don't know anyone with moderate to severe eczema. Generally speaking people who have had it a while have tried literally everything and are just trying to find anything at all that seems to keep it manageable so that their skin isn't a mess of weeping open sores all the time. He's probably been to a dermatologist who told him to soak in the bath for 5-10 minutes and then apply lotion and not wash his hands too often, and then apply some steroid cream anywhere from 1-8 times a day. I have seen people go from being rational to seeking out homeopathic remedies because it is an incredibly annoying and persistent condition.

No, it is. "Drink while you shop" has become a new thing in places where it's legal.

There are tons of Whole Foods with bars in them. Lucky's Markets have bars. I just read somewhere Barnes & Noble is even putting bars in their stores.

Feed Meyer, which is a local PNW chain that got bought by Kroger 15 or 20 years ago, has bars now. The bar is always full of boomers trying to watch football while their spouses think they're at the grocery store. Although, this store also has a child care center for while you shop so I could really see some utility there...

The fact that her friend sold her out means her friend wasn't worth putting her job on the line for.

Generally speaking, I don't think people should be allowed to keep the fact that they have a communicable disease from people that they are in contact with who may catch it. I do think people should have compassion for people that are HIV positive and not discriminate against them, but your right to privacy should end where another person's safety begins.

Either way the opening was so wildly dumb that they wanted to try to keep their intensely obvious spending problem going, but it was as absurd as the dril tweet in its presentation. I want to say it was thousands of dollars on some clearly unnecessary spending habit of a specific variety.

AITA for getting my husband kicked out of the delivery room?

Hello everyone,

This is my first time using this platform, I'm sorry for any 'rules' broken or any mistakes made.

A friend of mine showed me this website recently, and since then I have been considering this post.

My husband and I (married for 3 years, together for 7) had our first child 3 weeks ago. She is perfect, and everything I could ever wish for, even if she is a handful. However, unfortunately, her birth was ... complicated.

I have always been a private person, and very terrified of pregnancy due to the (admittedly low, but to me nonetheless scary) risks associated. My husband knows this, and I specifically asked him, when we found out about this pregnancy, that he tried to help me lower my stress levels, since the pregnancy itself would already be causing me significant stress.

He succeeded at this during almost all of my pregnancy. He was always very calm, even when he had a bad work day and was upset. He put up with me when I cried over silly things like wanting one specific brand of food that was sold out, he made sure I was comfortable at home and rarely had to go out when I was too big to do so comfortably.

We agreed on from the start that he would be the only person in the delivery room with me. No parents, no family, no friends, just us and the medical staff.

However, on the day I was admitted to the hospital, his mother (who is usually a very, very nice lady, just has her moments) cried to him that it was unfair she would not witness the birth of this grandchild. (My husband has an older sister with two kids, and she was in the delivery room for both of them). My husband tried to get me to agree to having her in the delivery room. I said no, and figured that would be the end of it.

After a long, exhausting, painful labor, when my doctor announced my daughter was crowning, I saw the door open and my mother in law come in. No medical staff got up to stop her. My husband was next to me and I clung to his arm and told him to get her out. He tried to argue with me that she should be allowed to see the birth of her grandchild. I started panicking HARD, like I said, I am a private person and did not want my MIL staring into my lady bits while I was so vulnerable and exposed. I kept saying to my husband, "take her outside, please, get her out of here, please, please" but he would not budge.

A nurse finally noticed how much I was panicking and stressing and immediately shooed everyone expect me and the staff out of the room. This included my husband.

My daughter was born soon after, but because of the MIL situation, he did not get to witness the birth. He was very upset at me during the hospital stay, saying I didn't allow him to see his child be born. I feel awfully guilty because I did want my husband in there, but he should not have let his mother in. It's been almost 3 weeks since we have been back home, and he still acts coldly towards me sometimes.

Am I the rear end in a top hat?

LOL what a trashy idiot of a husband with a trashy idiot of a mom.

Edit: OP should seek a restraining order against her mother in law. If her husband tries to stop her she should tell the cops he hit her.

Goddamn that was two years ago, huh?
It felt for so long like it was getting better up until last fall when I'd find little (it's just chardonnaaaaay, he'd say) bottles in the bathroom after he'd come home for lunch. Idunno it's real bad, man, and yeah I got some codependency issues. I like helping people, I like being nice to people and I like feeling like I make a difference. Plus I saw this all happen as a kid to various and sundry family members to the point where I had it in my head that I had some kind of infallible Guide to How To Fix This.
This time I ain't and I really gotta nut up and accept that. He keeps asking me to come home because he doesn't know how to feed himself without me. Goddamn he got pulled over with a .41 and let go from work with a .37. He thinks he can do this on his own, but I do not know if he can, but he doesn't have insurance right now. He's got a great support system outside of me in the form of a loving family that he thinks doesn't love him, my favorite cousin who runs AA meetings in a non-jesusy way, and various friends. He's not surrounded by drinkers, which helps.
Idunno this might be an e/n success story or I'll go back to being told that he doesn't get how I could be stressed out or emotionally exhausted when I don't work (it iS stressful to take care of someone while they attempt to get their body to stop doing them a nasty, but it's what we agreed to doing, plus I took great care of him and the apartment and such).
Thank you for posting the thing I wrote 2 years ago. That kinda jumped through my computer and slapped me in the face like holy poo poo. You guys are really full of good advice, and this time I'm here to read it some. That's kinda why I'm here - the stories give me a bit of perspective. Either way, for the moment I have a place to stay while I get my feet under me and my brain to cooperate with stuff like not making constant Beaker noises every time I try to have a functioning thought.
Gonna read that other thread now. Again, you guys are really good folks. It's much appreciated, and exactly the change in perspective I needed to do some serious thinking.

Mushmouth, good progress here. Please find a therapist who can help you sort through all of this. It sounds like whether you recognize it or not you have got some childhood trauma going on here that is coloring your perception of your adult relationships. I started going to therapy several months ago and I and my whole family are better off for it. It is really hard work, and it isn't cheap, but it's worth it.

The artist post either left out that the kid is severely developmentally delayed orhas a mental health issue, or else it's totally loving fake. That is the type of thing a toddler would do, or maybe a 5 year old if left alone for WAY too long. But it isn't conceivable for that to happen with a neurotypical 9 year old who is mentally well.

I disagree. As a paragon of toxic masculinity myself, I think it is probably actively harmful for a 12 year old girl to watch her mom take responsibility for poo poo her dad broke, take his orders, and fix his mistakes for him.

Credit card lady needs to turn her boyfriend into the cops for credit card fraud and then call the credit card company and give them the police report so it isn't on her credit. Then she will probably need to pay for credit monitoring because dude has her ssn and dob and WILL do this again.

My stepbrother had a kid right as he was graduating high school. No sweat. First grandkid was mostly raised by his grandparents, and he was about 10 years old when my stepbrother/his dad got married to another woman, and they had a son. So this kid went from being spoiled senseless for 10 years, and overall being a spoiled brat with many grandparents and uncles who catered to him, to suddenly having a sibling, the first grandchild for his mom's side of the family too. And she, unlike his mom, was totally beloved by the family overall.

So when I sent a gift for the newborn, I also sent a thing of Legos to the older kid. And I did this for the next few years, until the novelty of the NEW BABY wore off. And my sister-in-law thanked me because she said I was the only one who had done anything for him, everyone else was oohing over the new baby. It still took the kid a while to transition into the older brother mindset, not that I blame him.

My mom has done this with everyone in my generation when we have our second kid. It's really thoughtful.

In her case I think it has to do with the fact that she was a middle child and was only ever given hand-me-downs and control issues by her parents.
