First time father new to mumsnet

[Axxxkay]

First time father, mumsnet really helped during the pregnancy, just wanted to introduce myself and say hi!

YABU!
Axxx sorry! I didn't realise you would be subjected to questioning your marriage on AIBU! I was more heading for the larger audience side of things. You can opt to cancel the convo if it gets too heated. Altho I don't actually know how to do that...anyone? But it can be fun & games, just don't take it too seriously. Or just take it on the chin!

Think woman would probably suffice kitty how can that be a name? or, better still, not using a gender to round us all up?!

Axxx asking advice is fine! But 'AIBU is notoriously harsh, relationships is your best bet.

I only meant it as a gender term. In group messages on social media or whatever you don't say hey women, you actress it as hey girls! Meaning female. And ok I shouldn't assume everyone is the same gender on here, as I'm not sure what gender you are, so you are right about that one at least

address not actress* damn dictionary!

I've not read your other thread but am in awe of you as a new, male poater diving straight in to Aibu. That takes a special kind of bravery. If you get out alive will wait for you here

Ive just read it and to be fair it's been pretty supportive. I hope you get support here op. My own view is that what you're experiencing generally is common to new parents. The strain on your relationship can be immense and you both have your own viewpoints. I hope you get through this. And you are well within your rights to tell mother in law to butt out.

"Jesus calm down"
"your the one being bitchy"
I am calm and I wasn't being bitchy! I was just pointing out that some of us don't like "girls" and I wasn't rude about it

Anyway, sorry for slight derail of your thread, OP!

I was only teasing about AIBU, I certainly wasn't criticising you for posting to ask for advice and support - I'm just saying that the Relationships topic is usually the best place for threads like that. But you have had some fairly helpful replies so it's fine

As a general rule I'd say that a lot of people hang out in AIBU for entertainment and arguments debates, whereas most people hang out in Relationships to share advice and support.

Relationships is a good board to post on.

Ok Emma. (Thumbs up!) gotcha
