Today, I went on yet another date with this beautiful young lady from my job. I can’t help but feel bad because ever since my wife gave birth to our kid she’s been sluggish and puffy, and I’m not attracted to her anymore, but I don’t know how to leave her because my son would be without a father. I hate this. FML

Today, I went to the location of me and my wife’s first date, because I miss her and barely get to see her because of our work schedules. Only to see her there on a date. FML

Today, after over a month of planning, my friend had to cancel her first night out in over a year. Why? Because her "perfect" fiancé didn't want to, and started sulking when she tried to, so decided to put off letting her go out for a few more months. Apparently, it's my fault this happens. FML

Today, it was supposed to be my first date with a girl I've been speaking to for three months. Last night, she revealed that she's still married, that her husband is "not so bad", and then confessed it all to him and blocked me. It was gonna be my first date in six years, after the last one stalked me across the country. FML

Today, unbeknownst to me, my wife cancelled our airplane tickets because she didn't want to face her fear of flying like we had agreed. Now, we're going to have to take another week off so I can drive 3000 miles cross country, while she sleeps in the shotgun seat because her licence expired. FML

Today, it's the first evening that my husband and I will have without the kids in 8 months. We had been looking forward to it for ages, and my husband had even bought me some lovely new lingerie for the occasion. Guess what? I just got diarrhea. FML

until around the 18 month - 2 year mark, babies ages are referred to in months.

There is quite a difference developmentally month to month until about 2. Which is why they use months.

My wife waits till around the 20 month point before she's comfortable leaving the kid with a babysitter. I don't blame her, I barely trust a babysitter with the older kids. Especially with the increasing number of weirdos out there or teens who just bring their bf over.

One time when I was a baby, someone other than my Mom or Dad watched me for the first time (my aunt). I apparently got so upset I slammed my head against the ground until I knocked myself out. Kids are hard work and you have to keep a constant eye on them. The mother could be worried about leaving her one year old alone, or so busy that she really doesn't have the time for other things. Are you helping out around the house, OP?
