Baby wearing and haunted houses

I want to go to haunted houses and I’m thinking of baby wearing my going to be 6month old through one. I don’t trust anyone to watch him because nobody respects my boundaries with my baby. That being said is it okay for me to wear him and go to a haunted house? He will have ear protection on as well. Please no hate I’m just wondering what people think.

Rv living

Has anyone bought an RV and lived in it with their kids? I am a single mom and homeownership seems out of grasp for me so I’m looking into other options

Am I too sensitive?

Okay, I genuinely want to know if I’m being dramatic or if this would piss anyone else off too.

I’m getting ready to wash and prep the baby bottles for the night. I walk into the living room and ask him for the dirty bottle next to him. He hands it to me, and as I’m walking away he goes, “Wait!” So I turn around and he hands me a dirty sippy cup too.

I make a face and jokingly/sarcastically say, “Wow… instead of saying ‘don’t worry, I’ll wash the bottles,’ you just give me MORE stuff to wash.”

He responds, “I washed bottles today.”

So I say, “Okay… and I wash bottles every single day, like 3 times a day.”

His response?

“It’s your job.”

😐

I literally went silent and walked away because that comment immediately rubbed me the wrong way. But then the baby starts crying, so I said, as a father, it’s your job to also attend to your crying baby!

So now I’m in the kitchen irritated, talking my shit to myself while washing the bottles and “doing my job.”

A few minutes later he comes into the kitchen and asks me if it’s trash day. I tell him, “Don’t worry about it. It’s my job.” (He’s gone during the week, sometimes 2 weeks so I take care of all house stuff)

Then he goes, “Why are you being salty?!”

At that point I snapped and told him because saying “it’s your job” was disrespectful.

Because yes, I’m a stay-at-home mom right now and obviously I take care of the kids and a lot of the stuff around the house. I’m not expecting a parade every time I wash a bottle. But something about hearing “it’s your job” from your partner when you’re taking care of your children and home every single day just feels so dismissive and unappreciative.

So would that comment have rubbed you the wrong way too, or am I being dramatic? Because maybe I’m just salty. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Omg it's teenager periods!!

Somebody please tell me what I need to tell my daughter to get her to listen to me. I try to console her, I even tell her that we all don't like our periods but she still don't listen or talk to me. Ok so maybe I do charge in the bathroom to check in on her but I feel like I have to bcuz she doesn't talk to me bout it. Well more like she doesn't listen when I give her advice on it. Woof I tell her to wait til the brown part stops or keep a pad on until it's all the way clean, she won't listen and keeps messing up her darn underwear. She tells me that she rather have the period underwear than pads which I can honestly understand but until I get them she needs to wear what I can afford. How can I get her to listen to me nd not mess up anymore underwear?? Also what's a good brand that won't give her rashes??
