Is it normal in a marriage to feel like roommates?

We are pregnant with our second, been married 4 years, I feel no attention or effort in my marriage towards my needs (more so emotionally) and it's been 7 years.

My husband is on contract work for now

I feel sad and like nothing changes. He's more invested in our daughter than I feel he is our marriage and I'm not feeling very happy

Did she do it on purpose?

My dad and brother when they were young, had an episode of manic behaviour due to high stress. The other day I was talking with my cousin and she asked how my little boy is. I told her he is a bit wild and having lots of energy compared to his sister. Then she said something like “ oh you know in every family we have dregs/ scum , maybe he is like your crazy dad and brother” and made it as a joke
Also her brother sufferers from depression and she can’t get pregnant.

It’s making me so angry

So I’m English partner is polish - we picked a name for our 2 year old that is English written and said English and birth certificate it’s England

His side of family keep saying it in polish and I have asked multiple times for them to say it and spell it the English way

Other day was it’s birthday - they kept doing it all the presents was all to do with learning polish when I sent them a birthday list etc it’s just making me so angry

They have even said to my partner ‘we will make him polish’

When they are around me they speak polish all day (even at my son birthday party) I have said multiple times I don’t like it as I don’t know what’s going on or what they are saying

We have a day out with them Saturday and I’m dreading it

My partner completely understands where I’m coming from worst thing is even the kids speak to in polish when I’m trying to interact and speak to them being nice so I just say quite. They can all speak read and understand English

High chairs

I have got the my babbie high chair but it’s so hard to clean as all the food gets stuck in all the cracks every time she eats and it’s starting to smell even though I’ve deep cleaned it. Looking for easy to clean high chairs

I yelled at my 4 year old

She wouldnt stop waking up crying tonight.
The first two times i was still awake so i went in & talked her down & she pinky promised shed go to sleep. I told her "I'm going to sleep now too, im not coming back in"
And of course as soon as i fall asleep she wakes up crying again.
My husband tries to calm her down but of course she only wants mommy.
Being awoken like this enrages me. It always has; even before having children.
I go into her room steaming anger saying I TOLD U I WASNT COMING BACK IN WHY ARE YOU CRYING STILl. And i know i scared her but what the fuck else am i supposed to do?? Going to her calmly doesnt stop her from waking. Talking about it during the day doesnt help either. She does this like once a month??
And im just the shit mom who yells at her daughter at night once a month. Idk wtf to do. My husband says let her cry but then I CANT SLEEP. which pisses me off more. I cant win. & shes just gonna keep doing it cause shes a kid & she cant help it.

What happens when baby drops percentiles?

My 10 week old just had a weigh in and dropped from 25th to 9th. This is the second time she's dropped although her weight itself has increased by small amounts. HV says not yet concerned but if next weigh in is another drop we'll need to see the feeding team. I've already seen the feeding team when I tried to BF as baby didn't gain weight and they were unhelpful. I gave up and switched to formula and it helped her gain some weight but my baby just doesn't like to eat. Otherwise she is alert and doesn't seem distressed. She's seeing an osteopath for reflux and that doesn't seem to bother her as much anymore. She's been assessed for tongue ties and oral dysfunction and all normal, she's just lazy.

So far advice is just to feed her more but she doesn't want to. I've tried offering a top up after an hour and she's not interested. If we force her to finish her bottle she gets angry and just spits up. I don't really see what the feeding team could do and would rather just bypass and go to the next step if anyone knows what that is.
