    The boyfriend was stupid to say she's "laying in the blood" because the most common period product to use is a pad and that's basically the exact same thing.
    Period underwear is just added insurance that you wont leak overnight if you're one who regularly has a very heavy flow.

      I mean a pad is basically just a diaper that covers one specific area. It's probably not that different to the underwear she was wearing.

    The way that woman was treated by her father and brothers growing up was overlooked. It's not normal to make your daughter throw out every pad/ tampon outside. WHO WANTS TO DO THAT EVERY TIME?! She was set up for this mistreatment by her family a long time ago.

      It’s crazy. I’m from muslim family, period also taboo in our community but mine is not extreme. As long it’s clean, no blood anywhere so it’s fine. My dad and my older brother never made a fuss about it but one of my sister did. Like me drying my bra, she’s upset her husband saw the drying bra, panty, and period pad. Like heck, we’re drying our clothes in our house, it’s not openly for people to see. It’s really annoying. I mostly ignored her, but she got into arguments with my other sisters.

      Oh yeah, my father shamed me so much the first time I ever got my period. I was 8 and got a drop of blood on my undies because I didn’t know I was going to get my first period. He screamed at me for hours for being so disgusting for putting them in the laundry basket with his and my brothers clothes. I don’t know what I was expected to do with them though because I was too short to reach the laundry sink, was told I couldn’t wash them in the bathroom sink or shower, and also told throwing them away was a waste of his money, so IDK 🤷‍♀️
      So then I was absolutely terrified to get any blood on my underwear because I didn’t want to be screamed at and called disgusting again. But I also wasn’t allowed to use tampons because according to him “that would make me a slut”. Nothing like slut shaming a young girl for wanting to use tampons to just add to her body image issues huh 🙄
      (I cut my toxic father and his family off over 10 years ago and my life is so much better now)

      She should be getting paid, but it almost sounds like she wasn't being paid. The fact he tries to micromanage her time, is 100% an AH behavior.
      I'd be willing to agree that she could be an AH, except we know the husband is lying about 'doing the paperwork' because he's requiring her to mail the employee checks. Which should be his job as the boss, otherwise he has her as some kind of employee, meaning she actually works 2+ jobs while he works 1.

    A 30 year old man shaming his girlfriend for using period products of any sort is so ridiculous. And telling her to change birth controls so her period just stops? My wife went through years of trying to find the right birth control to stop her horrible menstrual cramps, and all she got out of it were years of horrible side effects. Through it all, I've gone out and bought her supplies, including diapers for sleeping in, because that's what you do. Roughly half of the population bleeds and cramps regularly, and they just have to deal with it. The other half of us can deal with at least knowing the basic details of what they go through.

    The problem the fact is, Reddit is forgetting how controlling the husband is, and secret cameras are never okay. That's blatant disrespect for privacy.

      Yeah, that’s why I tend not to go on that sub. People usually get into a hive mind thing. Like looking into the comments of that one helped to breakdown what the OP could’ve done better/prioritised, but a lot of them get into a very black and white mindset, missing out on all the grey.
      Like the dude was definitely an a**hole because of how he put a camera in the house and instantly thought that being on her phone was ‘goofing off’.
      But like people said in those comments, she also should’ve prioritised some of the things that she didn’t. Now, some of those things were things that the husband could’ve hired someone else for or done himself (the payment thing, which was important but probably shouldn’t have been given to the wife).
      I definitely agree with Daniel that the wife should look at managing her time better and prioritise other things. She should probably sign forms as soon as she gets them, or possibly get her kids to read through their own forms so they can summarise the fine print (if it’s one of those with lots of things to consider).

    * HE was too lazy to mail out the pay checks to his own employees- what does that say about him as a business owner? And we all know that he was not paying his wife to mail the checks for him.
    * And let's remember that HE had the time to go shopping and buy a spy camera, set it up and then sit down and go through the footage from that spy camera- time he could have spent mailing out his own checks, or signing permission forms for his children. Unlike his work, her work as a SAHM continues until she goes to bed, so he had plenty of time to do both of those things himself after he finished work for the day.

      Sounded like the checks were just a favour so that he could spend more time working on other admin stuff at his job. My mom (works full time) asks my dad (retired) to do tasks for her job all the time. Has for years. Sometimes he does crucial aspects of it. Everyone would still agree that she's not being lazy, and that him helping out is just a favour that helps her focus on tasks only she can do. Sometimes she would ask me for help, too. It's not that deep.
      Also, they asked the mom to sign the permission slip. And, do you really expect him to have 0 free time? He's still a father. He still has kids to take care of and spend time with. Jobs have off days and vacation times. He can go to the store and buy groceries then stop to get the camera. Maybe duing a lull at his job, he purchased it off of Amazon. If you're going to call him names, do so in a way that makes sense. His fatherly duties also continue until he goes to bed.

      Okay, and your dad, being *retired,* actually has the time to do these tasks because he’s not ALSO juggling a full-time job. And even if he was doing these favours for her before he retired…it’s not a 1:1 comparison. Your dad’s ability does not equate to that woman’s ability-especially if she has ADHD. So your point is still moot. (This is, of course, not even factoring that asking someone to do a favour for you absolutely does not entitle you to *scream at them* when they don’t do that favour immediately. Especially when it CAN be done later, and/or you don’t specify that you want it done within a certain timeframe. The whole act of asking someone for a favour means you accept that they’ll get to it when they can-it’s a FAVOUR, not a JOB.)
      Also, they asked mom to sign the permission slip, but…so what? 😂 Dad could have signed it. He had time to rush to the school and “save the day,” so why didn’t he have time to spend a few minutes filling out the paperwork at home, *before* it was an emergency? He works full time and has to come home to be a dad…and part of being a dad would mean *making sure that homework is done and things like permission slips are filled out* lmao. This is ignoring that she ALSO works full time taking care of the home AND being a mom. She plans (and likely makes) all meals, cleans house, does all the administrative work involved with running a household-and then still has to *be a mom* when the kids come home. How is her job any less demanding than his? Why is his obligation to be a dad both a way to discredit her AND a justification for him failing to do a basic parenting task? 😂😂

You're right that it isn't a 1:1 comparison because before he retired he was working 60hrs/week plus overtime with 0 days off. He still helped out because he wanted to give her a break and because he knew how to do it.
      People's paychecks are important and my point isn't moot, I'm expressing how it was likely just a favour and if she cared enough (as someone with ADHD & who studies it, I know) she would have been able to find time to do it.
      I don't know why you're making excuses for her not being helpful but that's fine, some people just hate all responsibility that they're not being paid for, I suppose. That's that capitalistic individualist mindset.
      Your point about her working full time isn't necessarily true considering not all SAH parents do spend all of their time cleaning the house, especially if they don't waste time watching professionals do their jobs or dedicate chunks of time to thinking about doing a task rather than doing the task.
      I don't remember saying her job was less demanding than his.
      The dad probably DIDN'T have time to rush to school and sign the slips, but he MADE time to do so. Something that the mom couldn't do.
      What exactly does the mom do all day, anyway? What does she say she does? It seems like she just gets stressed out at any and all responsibility and hires other people to do the more difficult parts (premade meal plans, watching people deep clean & do yard work)

      Also, I don't know if I trust her retelling of events, especially considering how she seems to shift importance away from things she didn't do and shift it toward things she does do. A tell-tale sign of ADHD (something I'm hyperaware of and try to avoid doing myself), but seriously annoying.

Doctors refused to give it to me because “ADHD doesn’t affect women in a negative way” or “ADHD meds will make your anxiety worse” among other things. My current doctor told me that studies are showing that women with ADHD tend to have a reduction in anxiety when medicated because the ADHD is where the anxiety comes from.

    2nd story: as a SAHD I'd say NTA, but we also don't have enough info about the husband. Yes, we know that he drove to school for his kid, but we don't know how he's contributing to the rest of the kids duty. SAH parents have no free time, no vacations or weekends. They're always in their work environment. They work at night when kids can't sleep, they work from 7 am until the kids are in bed. What is the dad doing in the weekend? Is he cooking and helping with chores/kids duty on his free days? Or is OP supposed to do 100% of everything while he is playing golf and watching football with buddy's? When the kids are adults they don't remember dad was the one signing one paper; they remember who picked them up from school and helped with homework, brought them to ballet and cared for them when they were sick. Earning a lot of money as the provider is great, but it's not contributing much memories and support to your family. You just need to earn enough to care for them financially, and the rest of your time is better spent with them rather than earing an extra couple of thousands to buy a more expensive car. Besides, this OP isn't even a SAHM. She's a part-time worker who also does all the childcare and house duties. She's probably making way more hours than her husband. Heck, I already make way more hours than my husband without the part-time job. OP is totally justified to be on her phone or watch a series before cooking dinner.

    I was thrown by the verdict of the story story. OP made some mistakes, but they felt like pretty understandable mistakes at the end of the day. When you're busy, stuff falls through the cracks sometimes.
    And frankly? The permission slip debacle got WAY blown out of proportion. I got a lot of experience with all sides of field trips - as a student who missed the permission slip deadline a couple times, as an instructor in a school, and as someone who handled field trip groups in museums for years. With permission slips, the school just wants to make sure they are legally in the clear to take the kid somewhere. They'll give a "deadline" because it's easier to plan things that way, but most teachers will let kids come so long as they have the permission slip by it's time to board the field trip bus. If the school trip involves going to a place with admission tickets - that's not also a non-issue. Popular field trip destinations (museums, zoos, planetariums, etc) will reserve a bulk ticket package to schools weeks to months ahead of time with an estimated headcount (aka way before the permission trips are often even issued to the kids). If the headcount is different from the estimate when the school trip arrives, no big deal, they will sell extra tickets then as necessary. Unless that estimated headcount turned out to be off by double digits and it's an extremely busy day at the venue- it's literally no big deal and happens all the time.
    Basically, OP's husband was making a mountain out of a molehill. Is it better to get your permission slips turned in on time? Yes it is. But there was probably no reason he had to drive to the school to personally handle it, and did it purely so he could "prove a point". A phone call and sending the kid in with the permission slip/field trip money the next day would've sufficed.
    The missing the payment for employees is admittedly a bigger issue but like- why is she handling that if its her husband's company? They're his employees, he should be making sure they're getting paid on time. Unless she's a contracted member of his company, she shouldn't be handling that stuff at all.
    I don't know, the fact OP's ex husband was treating her like an employee rather than a spouse just kept rubbing me the wrong way. I'm glad she divorced him and I don't think she's the AH at all for that one. Maybe a little disorganized yeah, but like. That's gonna happen when you have 3 kids, regardless of if you have ADHD or not.

This is exactly why so many women (especially SAHM) divorce. Men refuse to acknowledge or respect what it takes to help them elevate. She can run a household, he can’t.

    The last one is a great example of the confusion of feelings surrounding breasts. In the USA, which is where I'm guessing that couple is from, breasts are hyper sexualized. They're enhanced, pushed up, thrust out, etc, for people to look at and be titillated by. Based upon this ubiquitous information from mainstream media/ads, breasts are commonly seen as sexual objects, period. Another problem is the "ownership" of the breasts. Men (and/or masculine-presenting people), in the US, tend to claim ownership of their partner. Not all, of course, but it's definitely a thing, and often an unconsciously understood concept. No one usually thinks these ideas/feelings in words, it's just something "everyone knows." You can see this unconscious possession of partners in action when said partners warn off other dudes by saying they already have a boyfriend, and therefore are literally "taken," as if they're an object. You can also see it when women take a guy-friend with them somewhere to warn off other men. Already being "possessed" means less crap to deal with. The other men usually know not to stomp around near another guy's turf, again indicating acknowledged possession and ownership of a person.
    So, looking at that exchange through those lenses, bro wasn't happy to see his girlfriend showing off her assets (that he believes belong to him) to his friends.
    When breasts are used for their biological function of feeding an infant, boyfriends (and other partners actually, now that i think about it; derp) can get a whole bunch of nervous/angry feelings surrounding the breasts being exposed. This leads to thought/feeling chains that can feel like this: "They're mine, but they're not being used by me in the current interaction, and they're her body parts, but I'm worried and jealous/angry/confused that anyone is seeing them. I feel like i need to do something, but I'm not sure what." Obviously, that is an attempt at giving words to some feelings, not literal quotes.
    It would be a lot better for everyone in the US if breasts were less sexualized, and simply seen as the multi functional body parts that they are. Sure, they can be fun during sex, which is awesome, but the taboo surrounding the viewing of breasts and who (outside of the person they're attached to) owns them is only causing problems for everyone.

      I find that (I'm in the UK) _incredibly_ disturbing. Here women have the LEGAL RIGHT to breastfeed in public and most establishments will also go out of their way to let women know they are "allowed" to do so ("allowed" because whether the establishment agrees or not, they have the right to do so and the establishment can't, legally, stop them). The idea that this guy raged at his wife (the mother of said child) for daring to breastfeed for what.. 2 minutes in the peripheral vision of him and his mates is disgusting to me. It's appalling behaviour on his part and the idea that she "made his friends uncomfortable"? I'll bet the only thing that made them uncomfortable was his treatment of her in that scenario.
      The idea that men can "possess" a woman's body merely by being in a relationship with her is appalling. The idea that his gf/wife can't breastfeed in her OWN HOME just because he has mates round is awful. If you're not mature enough to separate "breast feeding" from "BOOBS!", you're not mature enough to have a relationship OR a child.

      So true. It's an American thing I think, to over sexualize everything.

It's seen as completely normal. Men will commonly interact with the baby and speak to the mother's without being weird about the boob situation lol women breast feed every Sunday in the pews, side of the road, on the bus, literally Everywhere.

      While I do agree with the point about the hyper sexualization of breasts especially when it comes to stuff like breastfeeding, and we obviously need to improve on that front as a society (meaning us men. 😂), I don't think I necessarily agree with you on the point you made about possession.
      While I'm definitely not arguing that a person literally owns their partner, I do personally believe you kind of 'give yourself' to your partner (assuming you're in an exclusive relationship of course) and therefor your partner imho has the right to: 'warn off other men/women' as you put it.
      I think it's perfectly fine for a person to 'claim' someone as their own (assuming the other person consents of course. 😂) and be upset when another person wants to 'take' their partner from them.
      I also think it's not ridiculous to ask your wife, knowing we do live in a society that currently hyper sexualizes breasts, not to have them out in front of your friends.
      She could have easily just sent him a text saying: 'Breast feeding right now, but I'm hungry, can you make some food for me?' but preferably the husband should've checked up on his wife to see if she needed anything since I'm assuming he knew she was away in her room 'cause she was breastfeeding.
      That's just how I feel though, I'm aware not everyone agrees, which is fine.

Does he buy the uniforms and footwear for their activities? Does he take care of the car insurance for the teens car? Did he take them to and from their activities, teach them to drive, teach them to cook and do laundry, set up bank accounts for them? Does he monitor their internet, do their laundry, clean their rooms, and know when his daughters are having their periods and provide them with materials? Does he provide his kids with sex ed and make sure they know how be safe? Birth control? Does he know their class schedules? Does he know about senior and graduation activities? Class pictures? School activities like spirit week? Does he make their costumes?. Does he pay attention to their volunteerism so they can apply to college? Has he vetted colleges with them? Does he provide tutoring to his kids and help with homework and projects? Does he know what classes they need help in? Does he know how much bread costs? Does he buy groceries or do any of the shopping? Does he ever scrub a toilet? Any toilet, ever? Does he even change out toilet paper? Or does he just complain when it runs out? Does he clean out the refrigerator and freezer? Does he check expiration dates on condiments and cans? Does he know what books are required reading, and if the kids have library fines? Does he know if they know how to swim? When they don't have a forgotten permission slip, do the kids come to him crying over breakups, friendships, difficulties? Does he know what their favorite foods are? Their favorite colors? Does he remember the last time he picked them up as a child? Does he know the budget for their birthday and christmas presents and save up and buy them? Does he do small, kind things every day to show the kids they are loved?
    My dad didn't do any of those things except driving us to school. He did have time to complain about that, and about how bad my mom's cooking was, and about how noisy and messy the kids were. I am a lazy person, and I will never have children, because as a mother you could literally die for them, and everyone will still complain that you aren't doing enough.

      One've my favorite things to yell about is: bobs aren't for smex. Like, they are literally the human equivalent of udders. Their primary purpose is to feed babies. They are also very smexy; I'm a lesbian, i get it. But like. Moobs are allowed to fly free y'all, and all they do is gross out preteens. But people have to hide feeding a literal infant? And like, people who are breastfeeding are EXHAUSTED. They've got an infant!! That's so exhausting!!!!!!! They just wanna feed their kid!!!! They're not putting on a show, and tbh? Even women look the other way generally! And that's fine!!! We're embarrassed but that's on us, not some tired parent just trynna quiet down a hungry bub. Honestly people are gonna be uncomfortable about this for years to come, but you gotta ask yourself which you care about more: bubsy getting fed, or a grown ass man being embarrassed about a baby getting fed. The kneejerk reaction is understandable but not the be all, end all.
      I mean, just think about finding a private and comfortable place to breastfeed in public!! Bathrooms are unsanitary and rarely comfortable to hang out in--a few have sitting areas but frankly those tend to be more expensive places. Changing rooms don't want you to just hang out in there. So you can go sit in your car, if you have a car. Hope it has good ac in these increasingly hot summers!
      And the way the woman in the aita was talking like--it sounded like bub was attached the whole time?? And i dunno if everyone is aware but like, babies cover up like most of the bob they're drinking from. Not 100% of it but they for sure cover that entire nip. And you know what that means??? Technically sfw. You can wear pasties as a shirt in public, but you can't feed a baby?????? Riiiiight.

NOBODY LIKES IT. geez and she was so accommodating, too. willing to change what she was doing to not put him out. that's a high class GF right there. and HE must have weird fetishes and stuff going on because all his responses were NOT normal. just wow. and i don't think i've ever seen the underwear looking like a DIAPER so idk what he's talking about. that is just so freaking weird. but mostly, it's like he's shaming her for a natural bodily function that cannot be helped!! wtf. ((EDIT lol and it went here right after i restarted.)) and if suddenly pooping wigged him out? would he tell whoever he was dating to just NOT? jfc.((EDIT lol and it went here right after i restarted.))
    yeah, maybe he should try dating a dude.

      @@trustfulplace3894 You can definitely limit your cycle and there are some long-term options that do work to prevent periods for extended periods of time. But most pill-based options do need you to have your period every once in a while. Such pills can have some negative effects if your body doesn't get to hit "reset" every once in a while. Doctors can advise individuals best depending on need and I'm no expert, just a lady with a period. But, I can say with certainty that no one should be determining what birth control you take based on their opinions on if periods are gross or unattractive.

    I don't think you're the ahole, Daniel, for thinking that about the last story. HOWEVER, only because of how society has conditioned people to think about breasts. Boobs are inherently not a sexual part of someone's body; they have one purpose: to feed a child. They SHOULDN'T be looked at like genitalia bc they're not. That's why most people are saying that OP is NTA. The fact that people look at breastfeeding so weirdly is frankly creepy to me; there is nothing sexual about someone feeding their child. Anyone who looks at it weirdly is a creep. (Then, ofc, there's the whole aspect of if men can go around shirtless, why can't women etc. etc.)

That said, it doesn't mean that a parent should ever be barred from feeding their child by whatever safe method they choose. We need to stop shaming people for taking care of their kids.

    I think people are misunderstanding the second story. It's not a matter of her possibly having ADHD or lacking organizational skills, it's that she's doing more work than can be reasonably managed by one person. A single permission slip slipped through the cracks in a time where things were expectedly more hectic than usual. Checks got mailed out a day later than they should have at a small, privately-owned business. These are very normal things to happen. What's _insane_ is thinking that the solution is to _spy on your spouse_ instead of talking to them about it. Being a SAHM in a five-person household is difficult enough even without throwing in extracurriculars and nonstandard dietary needs. This woman was spied on by her husband and then shamed for [checks notes] sitting down while researching meal ideas and taking a break before getting back to work. That's not okay in any case.
    Third story, she's only in the wrong if he asked her not to breastfeed in front of his friends beforehand. Otherwise I'm not going to judge a new mother for getting cross when someone tries to interfere with her feeding her baby.

Like, the breastfeeding part is the least of my worries. Sure, it's your own home, but that doesn't change that you have guests there. She could've texted the husband and asked him to bring her something to ear, or fuck it, ordered some food and have him bring it to her. I'm not saying she did anything wrong necessarily, but I tend to find even walking around in a towel or something like that, unless you're really close with them, is probably a bit too casual with people you don't know and have only been to your house once.

At home, there are areas you can sequester yourself off in that ensure a reasonable amount of privacy while also acknowledging that yes, they may have to leave to feed the baby. The reason I don't care about it in public is because, in public, there's no easy way to find privacy and when the baby's hungry, the baby's hungry. It's kinda like having guests over and not closing the door behind you when you use the bathroom.

    That poor first woman :( her entire life shamed for something normal. My family and husband always makes me feel comfortable during those days, in every way.

    Folks are really out here acting like a field trip permission slip is the most important paperwork that a parent has to fill out.

      yah but no way your daughter had to call your husband off work to have to sign it
      what is she doing all day? what exactly is ahe taking care off? she has professional cleaners and doesn't even drive her kids to school.
      so what is she doing?

    I will and always stand by my saying of “I can feel grossed out by my period I’m the one sitting in my blood you don’t get to be grossed out by my period cause you’re not the one dealing with it”

      Which story to go with this I said this one time to a few friends when I said we need to stop by a bathroom and they said can’t I just hold it for a while and I was like actually no it’s not so I can go pee it’s so I can change my pad and they were like oh that’s so gross and I’m like yes I do feel gross that’s why I would like to change my pad and they kept going at it until I finally told them my saying I get to feel gross not you you just sit there and hear me say change my pad and all of a sudden it’s gross like I’m not making you change it or hold it in fact nobody noticed I was on my period til I mentioned it so tell me again what’s so gross to you because I don’t see you actually dealing with the shit I’m dealing with right now. Like seriously guys if you ever think hearing about a girl casually mention her period is gross imagine how we actually feel gross. You’re not actually dealing with what we are so there’s really no reason you should feel grossed out like you don’t deal with the bleeding or the pains or feel awkwardly sweaty or pretending like your ok when you just want to cry you just watch us experience all that and that’s it

    For the second story, it wouldn't even matter if he was right about her being lazy. The moment someone, especially your spouse, puts a secret camera in the house to film you is the moment one should walk away. I would never trust my spouse ever again.

    13:55 theres nothing sexual with breastfeeding a kid, and his friends werent evem bothered. Why should she need to hide herself when feeding her kid like its a sinful act or anything?

      Agreed, she is just feeding there baby. But he tried to make it seem like it's something sexual and it's disgusting knowing people think or act like him, those moms are just feeding there babies. Are the babies supposed to starve since breastfeeding is such a"sexual/sinful" thing??
