Hahahahaha your rich ma got tired of dealing with babies is leaving to go on holiday again. Hahahahaha this happened last time, hahahahaha I told you we couldn't rely on her! Oh but guess, I got the fix: my mom is just as retired, she's ready and down to tag in for her piece of grammanirvana for our older boy while I'm out at new job. Oh what's that?!?! You and your ma are now willing to pay for an au pair instead, oh funny just last month you said you ran out of money. Suddenly there is money when something you thought impossible is suddenly coming to our home. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA High nose bitch better treat my mama with the same respect I treated hers. Money didn't scoop her out of this. Even with a burlap sack with a dollar sign nobody will ever take our kid in this short of notice. Hahahahahagaha

Yeah, umm generally calling the mothers of our children 'bitches' is frowned upon. I'm sorry you're going through a hard time, try and be kind to your family and "put some work in" on whatever is going on there.

No, I called my wife a bitch. Because she is a jerk who thinks my mother doesn't deserve to see our children because my mom didn't go to our destination wedding or give us enough money.

oh. yeah this sounds really fuckin out of scope for a forums thread but good luck! I definitely recommend counseling if you're dealing with marital issues stemming from things like money.

IIRC KirbyKhan was also having marital issues over the 2016 election (I think? Maybe it was 2020) Def recommend counseling at the very least if things have come to this

Yeah, couple's counseling is where wife explained in plain simple language that she doesn't like my mom because she doesn't give us money like wife's mom.

Is there any reason why children have to listen to children's music? Like... developmentally? Am I doing it wrong by just playing my Spotify Discovery Weekly playlist and assuming the six-month-old gets the same out of it as they would cocomelon or whatever?

Best way for a series of objects, verbs, and adjectives to be repeated to a child and simple enough for a child to recite.

i don't think you're doing anything wrong. i listen to my regular music whenever i drive my kids anywhere (and frankly i do not wish for them to know it's possible to have cocomelon in the car). my son just really likes the videos. i tried to keep cocomelon away from him and was successful until the christmas holiday, but then he got sick and we had a newborn and i was just feeling so exhausted, and he was fussy/sick, so i put it on the tv. it worked. but at what cost...

I don't have a Spotify subscription and I use that as my excuse for my kid not listening to my wife's curated Spotify children's-music playlist when I'm driving. When daddy's driving, she gets daddy music. She is fine with this. Most of the time. She yells "OTHER SONG" when she's not.

Babies in particular have no context for what music is so pretty much anything goes. When my kid was a month or two old I successfully lulled her to sleep with Rage Against The Machine

Most children's music is p comparable to each other. I prefer SuperSimpleSongs, but I stopped being snobby about cocomelon babies. Like only half of what's there is bad but most of the poop is just merely cheap, not malicious. You can curate a child's media experience for a p long time. We survived cable tv, an ancient time where the screen only showed you what it wanted to show you on its schedule.

Last yearI found Ella Jenkins in the Smithsonian alvorithm and it's a treat. It is HELLA OLD like I think I remember hearing this tape cassette back in 95. Don't let the algorithm go too far, be picky, or you'll hear the negro spiritual version of Cotton Eye Joe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UibkX5tVDkI

Anytime you scroll, there is now a small but real and confirmed possibility that one of those posts could be the other half of a shitposting SA user. She chased me around the house reading the replies. I can't think of any way that could hurt me worse. Buddy, this is a captive situation but also small time compared to the bad times. There are still hormones coursing through both of our systems, the new baby is barely 7 days and this was already an extremely stressed relationship. But, it will survive and go get forgotten to that abstract haze that newborn memories get holed into.

my mom retired and moved 5 hours away a year before we had our first. with our second coming in the next few weeks, she’s renting a room in the area to help out more or less against our wishes and it’s super stressful. I know it’s a privilege to have someone who can fold laundry, do dishes and stuff, but she is the definition of an ultra lib boomer. as in ‘my opinions on how you organize your house, raise your baby, spend your money are unquestionably correct and I’ll repeat the same 5 things 30 times a day until you relent, and then find 5 more things to needle over’. boundaries cannot exist, perfectly spherical brain etc. I of course grew up with this and have a nice hole in my brain where this all sails right on through. but it’s caused a huge amount of frustration in my wife, and certainly caused the biggest stressors between my wife and I in our entire marriage. so it’s not exactly the same, but I get it. in-laws loving suck. on the children’s song front: we were surprised a few months ago when we discovered the 22 month old could count way past 10 and on to 20, something she absolutely picked up from super simple songs.

You find out exactly what kinda poster your spouse is when you fire up a burner account to respond. She deleted my post. The coward. I will never let her live that down. I will carve it on her tombstone if she dares to die first. Aight I'm going to bed. Little dude did a lot to calm me down. He reflected care and stuck his toothbrush in my mouth. He's adversarial when tooth brushing with them, but with me he's sweet. Aight I'm going to bed. Couples Counseling L:  Children don't hear me yell, so anything that is worth yelling about waits until the 3-way-call from graveyard.

I don't know your life obviously, but most criticisms of child-rearing and house organizing are coded by gender so they're functionally criticisms of your wife. She doesn't need that poo poo with another baby coming. I was so ready to tee off on my wife's mother around our daughter's birth, but fortunately (maybe) a good amount of lying kept her away.
