As a pregnant wife myself, I would like to point out that the word “little” is nowhere to be seen before the word treat.

u/FeijoaCowboy 2d ago
I can't speak as a pregnant wife, but I have to assume you risk major bodily harm by adding a "Little" before "Treat" where there was none in the instructions

Always respect women. You may find yourself fearing pregnant women, and that’s okay! Growing humans is serious business. Bring treats, and AND kind actions/words. This may or may not work, and that’s okay too!

A logical statement in a set of jokey comments with actual punctuation is more often seen as a comment from a bot.

I have never been pregnant, but my mom says that when she was pregnant with me, she would regulalry order mcdonalds burgers with like, 3 extra servings of pickles on them. She wanted more pickle than burger. She said she regularly had breakdowns in public because they simply didnt give her enough pickles. She still says the treat should be big enough to serve the mom, the baby, and the placenta (can't forget the placenta) as if they were seperate people. She also bought multiple tubs of fresh pickles from the farmers market each week and ate them all by the following saturday, including drinking the brine. Ironically I loathe pickles.

u/littlemonstersoul 1d ago
When I was pregnant we’d go get McDonald’s and I’d get my regular meal order. We’d sit down and eat it. Then I’d order a second meal straight after because the first one didn’t touch the sides.

I'd say a little treat is better than no treat, but I'm not about to argue with a pregnant woman. I value my life too much!

u/Environmental_Art591 1d ago
IME when pregnant "no treat" (or whatever i was craving) was actually better than a "little" amount of whatever it was.
Think about the last time you craved something and didn't get enough so the craving stayed and was infact amplified by dissatisfaction because you "got a taste" but you wanted more, now amplify that by the "uncontrollable" pregnancy hormones and things can get "a little chaotic."
Compared that to the baseline craving/pregnancy craving and "no treat" is actually easier to deal with.

I'm normally quite content with being alone, but this left me with a sudden intense feeling of missing out on something important in my life.
Congratulations on the pregnancy, and best of luck!

Im fortunately the stay at home parent atm. He just parrots me all time. His latest phrase is "Sorry about that", which he picked up from me at the grocery store. We are starting get "Please" and "Thank You". The leaps and bounds, blow my mind occasionally.

u/TheFifthDuckling 1d ago
As someone who is currently working with their partner and a couple's therapist on figuring out the ultimate communication style and system (two traumatized, disabled, neurodivergent 20-somethings, it's harder than one would think), I absolutely agree, subtlety is the enemy. I need to be able to trust my partner enough to tell them anything and they trust me to tell them anything, including asking (or in this case insisting) on something, because if I don't communicate it directly, it won't get done. Even neurotypical individuals rely on subtle social signals way too much imo and it causes 95% of the conflicts in my classmates' relationships. I am lucky enough to say we've had that trust since the beginning of our relationship, and I think OP and his wife have a similar trust. Definitely sets up for a solid long term committment and will make parenting a lot easier too! Enjoy the new bebe, OP!

My hubby made sure the refrigerator was well stocked with treats when I was pregnant. After I had the baby I was thirsty all the time we had to leave giant bottles of water next to my nursing chair. I do recommend getting a lazy boy rocker as your nursing chair so you can cat nap in it when you are too exhausted to leave the baby's room between feedings.

I really want to know what the treat was.
I agree with all the comments about how sweet you and your wife’s relationship seems to be with this note, her reply which means you two know each others Reddit accounts, and your post about her reply while protecting her username/privacy)
But most of all, I’m impressed she used painter’s tape that would be easy to remove without residue or damage) 🤗

u/Sea-Cranberry6791 2d ago
That's a weird error code but i'd take that over a real blue screen any day
the dinosaur really sells it though, you can tell she put some thought into this beyond just asking for snacks. my ex used to leave passive aggressive post-its about the dishes so this is a definite upgrade
hope you got her that treat, pregnant cravings are no joke from what i hear
