My husband doesn’t know what to talk when and how. It was his innocence and transparency I fell in love with but it is affecting my child’s mind a lot. Today my 3 YO spilled water and he said shit you keep spilling water, I don’t know how am I gonna sell this house. My son is now crying about losing his bedroom and house. The other day he told him he is feeling sad and hence eating junk food(a bag of chips ). My son asked his teacher in preschool is she sad hence eating junk food ? I know a 3YO

I don’t think you’re overthinking, I’d be really bummed if my husband said something like that to my kids, especially over something as innocuous as spilling water. What is your husband doing to work on this?

Agree - does your husband recognize this as a problem (at least when communicating with your kid(s)) and is willing to work on it?

Is seen as cute when he says things. Am I overthinking that he would develop in someone who isn’t loved socially ? My husband doesn’t have lots of friends due to filterless talk and many of my friends don’t prefer to hang out with him in a group setting. He told
My friends 5 YO child that there is no Santa 🤦‍♀️. I don’t know what am looking for here. May be a vent or assurance that I am overthinking about my child.

I got lucky and now have leadership that seems to care about my career growth, but I'm 1. a little overwhelmed taking over a new role from someone who went on parental leave earlier than expected and 2. not used to thinking outside my day to day job, happy to keep my head down and just produce good work.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.

Last night BF and I went out to dinner since neither of us wanted to cook. We were having an enjoyable evening and ran into a former co-worker and her husband who I have not seen since before COVID. Ex co-worker made this odd scene about my "glow up" and even posted to social media a picture she insisted both couples take.
Anyone else ever find themselves in a similar situation?

And he’s using one of the rooms downstairs as a home office. We bought this house so cannot move in the short term.

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

Parents who have or have had a baby. How was the first year or two for you? Was it awesome, was it terrible, did it change your relationship with your partner? Did you regret it, did you want out? I've heard that having a baby can really change things between you and your partner and that a lot of marriages fall apart at that point. Just interested in stories and feedback.

Also curious if one partner kind of pressured the other into having a child/was driving force in wanting the baby.
