Didn't read all the posts- but if my baby had any sudden behavior changes I would be off to the dr after a day or two to make sure there were no sneaky ear infections/etc going on.

OP here. I think lots of you all are assholes too but I still come here for advice and I still love you all. The fact that I describe my daughter as acting like an asshole at times is not indicative of an anger problem, but my ability to not take myself or her less-than-lovely moments too seriously.

Thanks again!

Well, I'm not pretending I'm "better," PP, and I'm not the only one who finds it disturbing to call your child an "asshole" or any other profane name. I hope for OP's sake it truly is a "moment" and not indicative of a larger and more problematic attitude. She would have gotten all the support in the world from me had she not spoken about her child that way. People should think before they speak, and choose their words carefully. Sometimes, words chosen casually in the moment do hint at the underlying truth. Today's casual name-calling can grow into more if left unchecked.

Put up with? I put up with stupid colleagues,my friends annoying friends/spouses, crappy weather, obnoxious neighbors, etc etc. But this is an odd way to talk about a BABY you chose to have. What a shitty parenting attitude. Don't be surprised if this is how your kid talks about you in 10-15 years.


No one is perfect. I am sure that you do many things you would never post about on these forums, because the people like yourself would come out to attack you. OP mistakenly thought that these were support forums. NOPE. What you get here is information and opinion. Lots of high-and-mighty people here. Always someone waiting to tell you how you're not good enough a mom, so that they can feel better about themselves. PP, you don't know the OP, so don't pretend that you're better than her. She was having a moment. We are all allowed to have moments.

Really, who refers to their 8-month old baby as an "asshole"? That is disturbing.

I wasn't providing you with advice. If I was providing you with advice I would say you should so the following:

get a nanny
go back to work full time
have your husband do the nurturing and caregiving
try to do at least one kind thing for your child each day, start with not calling her an asshole, and lastly
don't consider having another baby

OP, print this out and put it in a drawer. Set a reminder on your phone to read it when she is about 3 years and 3 months. If you think this is hard, you are going to want to poke yourself in the face with a sharp stick when you get through the twos only to realize that three is so much worse than two. Oh, buckle up, because there is typically a MAJOR sleep regression right around 9 months which makes all of this so much more fun.
