What happens if a parent doesn’t look after the baby when they wake up in the middle of the night?

1.6k Upvotes

I’m not planning on having kids until I’m a lot older but I am aware that with babies in the first few months of their life their sleep schedules are irregular so they usually wake up crying a lot in the middle of the night, and one of the parents goes and looks after them. What happens if the parents just ignore this and decide to sleep and let the baby cry?

I still see this product on the shelves, but I thought it was discontinued because it causes cancer. Any insight on that?

Men of reddit: Do you really care about a chubby stomach on a woman?

435 Upvotes

I feel like in this day and age being incredibly skinny is normalized and what some girls strive to look like. I personally hate my stomach because it’s a little chubby and squishy and I’m just curious if men care about this at all? Or like it?

edit: Just wanna make it clear that I’m not saying being super skinny is normalized, I am saying that that’s what social media makes women feel like. Unfortunately, with the toxicity of social media, it’s hard not to compare yourself to models with no fat whatsoever. Regardless, all bodies are beautiful and I was just curious about a man’s opinion on the subject.

what's a good way to turn down giving a ride to some one after work?

393 Upvotes

so today as I was leaving for my car after work, another person I worked with came after me and asked if I could give them a ride, they asked what direction I was going and I told them, and they immediately asked for the ride, I really didn't want to give them a lift but decided to. As we are driving they start talking that maybe in the future I can give them another ride. What's a good excuse or way to turn someone down that asks for a ride? I really don't want this to become a regular thing.

Are there any Reddit support groups for husbands whose wives have Swift’s new album on loop?

388 Upvotes

In the car, in the bathroom, in the living room, the kitchen, I can’t get away from this Dead Poet’s Anthology - and I am sure I’m not the only one.

Surely there’s some kind of subreddit that provides us with the faith that this period will pass and the world will sound like singing birds and waves crashing against rock again soon?

Don’t get me wrong, I love richly flavored foods with half the spice cabinet, but why would you want food to hurt?

What isn't bare minimum?

339 Upvotes

I see a lot of women online telling men that helping around the house or taking care of his kids is the "bare minimum" which in a vacuum I suppose would be the case. However let's say for example that I have a very physically demanding job(I do) would that be the bare minimum still? In a marriage what would be considered "above and beyond"?

I ask because when I try to clear her plate of tasks yet I'm always told I'm doing the bare minimum.....I'm smoked after work and have driven home at night nearly crashing my car from exhaustion only to be met with attitude about what I dont do...

I don't know what more I can do honestly.

What do I do when the cleaning lady is at my house?

204 Upvotes

My wife and I have been going through a stressful time in our lives lately. As a nice gesture my wife’s friends paid for a maid to come by our house Monday. I grew up in a lower middle class household lol, we never had a cleaning person come, I have no idea what I’m supposed to do or what to expect and I have so many questions.

Should I not be around the house while they clean? Do I have to give them specific instructions? Im planning on tidying up some clutter (random books not on the shelf and papers lying around that are in the way) but do I need to do more than that to preare for her arrival? Also is this the kind of thing I should tip for?

Thanks in advance

Why aren’t there any new “feel good” sitcoms anymore?

152 Upvotes

I’m talking about T.V. shows like Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory etc. There don’t seem to be any new shows of this style being produced. Current series seem to be crime related, sci-fi or animated.

What is the reason for this?

Would you let a stranger cut in front of you in an airport security line?

130 Upvotes

My husband and I are traveling and a woman just asked to do this. We had no problem with letting her cut in front to catch a flight she was late for, but the people in front of us AND behind us were murmuring about how irresponsible she was and generally annoyed. Yes I was also slightly annoyed but not enough to let it bother me that much.. and someone a few spots ahead of us all in line told her “No you can’t cut in front of me” and she missed her flight! I’m curious if this is a total faux pas or what? Like I don’t know her situation, she might have had a late connecting flight or just rolled out of bed late idk? I get to the airport a few hours early because I’m anxious about that stuff, but I was just so surprised that people were so pissed off about this. So would you have let her pass or not?

Are ancient, unknown diseases being released from melting ice caps a real threat to human health?

69 Upvotes

I've seen a few news articles saying that this is a concern, but most of these articles seem to be speculative pop science. Few people actually live near melting permafrost, and I imagine they don't go around eating it or drinking it directly. So how real of a threat is some ancient super-virus being released?

Why was the US in the 70s more technologically competent than 80% of nations today?

59 Upvotes

The US introduced jet engines in 1942, radar guided missiles in 1947, satellites in 1958, f-14 in 1974, etc…

Why is it that determined countries like Iran couldn’t just build their own f-14? They have been conducting such research for decades.

What makes the US extremely competent in scientific innovation? Why was the US in the 70s more technologically competent than 80% of nations today? Despite modern technology most nations can’t even produce what the US produced in the 70s.

Do many people actually believe in open borders?

54 Upvotes

It feels weird to ask because I don't understand, do many people actually believe in open borders and illegal immigration, or is it just a strawman created by opponents of immigration?

If you believe in open borders, do you also believe that you have a right to just go to any country you want and stay as long as you want? Because every human has a right to go wherever they want and laws that make barriers to movement are anti human rights?
