Nursery / Childminder recommendations

Hi all
We're re-locating from Sheffield to South Manchester in 3 months and looking for nursery recommendations for my little boy who is nearly 2. Its tricky as we don't know where we'll be living yet but my partner & I will both be working at the Christie Hospital in Didsbury so a nursery in that area would be ideal x

Am I being sensitive or would this also upset you?

I asked my husband if he liked my handmade bracelets and he said "They're okay." I asked what that means and he said "If I saw them I'd just think 'Oh, neat' then move on." Am I being too sensitive for being really upset over that? I just feel like, where is the support? I thought we were supposed to be our spouse's first fan, cheering on their passions? For more context I'm an artist, my bracelets are made of recycled materials that I collect and process myself and are woven in a pattern unique to my work, not that it would make it any better but this is not a hobby for me it's my life work and a small part of a bigger project. Since I work from my home I also care for our children while my husband goes to a 9-5 job and that also has me feeling a type of way about his feedback, I cheer him on at his job and support him where I can but when it comes to my work that's what I get? It's obviously a soft spot for me, but let me know if I'm just sensitive here or if it's actually something you'd be upset by too.

How do I get time to keep ontop of everything

I have two boys one who’s nearly 2 month and breast feeding and the other nearly 2 and my partner is disabled after loosing his leg about 7 years ago he has now also recently had his prosthetic leg taken away to be resized but I can never find the time I need to clean up properly to keep the house tidy the kitchen is always full of washing and the bedroom is always full of clothes that have not yet been put away I suffer with adhd and autism so this is very overwhelming that our schedule has been disrupted by my partners prosthetic being taken away as he would do the washing and cooking but it’s all changed since then as I now have to look after him and I have no time to properly do anything can any one help me please with a schedule or something I’m going crazy and feel like I’m failing in keeping up like everyone else

Teething

Anyone else having a hard time trying to get their baby to eat because of teething. I'll be feeding him and he grabs the spoon and starts chomping on it to the point when I try and take the spoon to feed him again he cries🫩🫩. Like I feel so bad cause he's going through it but I really want him to start to get accustom to regular food

Our babies are now 7 months old

How many meals and how many mls does your baby take a day.

I feel nothing for my husband…

My husband has been battling depression since our son was born (2 years). I’m so exhausted and he is so draining. He quits every job he gets and has become king of excuses. His laziness is ridiculous. I do absolutely everything when it comes to our son even though he’s home even more than I am. I have been wanting to leave him for so long because I am tired of the responsibility. Life is so much easier on the days it’s just me and my son. I understand depression is hard, and I have been so patient and kind with him but I cannot do it anymore. I’m such an empathetic person so I just can’t bring myself to say the words to him that I just don’t want to be around him anymore. I’m not even attracted to him anymore either. When he wants to be intimate it is literally impossible for me to become turned on and I have to imagine someone else in his place because I have the ick with everything he does. I hate that I can’t feel anything for him anymore. I also hate that I cant bring myself to talk to him about it. Like how do you say any of this without hurting his feelings? I’ve asked him to go to therapy and get help many times but he does not. I can’t just watch him play video games for hours out of the day and do nothing anymore!

Opposite shifts

Hey everyone!

My husband and I are planning to work opposite shifts in order to avoid putting my three month old in child care. My schedule would be 4 days 10 hours at night and my husband works in the morning. Does anyone else have a similar set up? If so any tips or advice that would make this easier on us?
