Experiencia

Después de años de dedicarme a ser mamá por tiempo completo, siento que regresar a trabajar es algo que no he hecho nunca, no sé cómo le haré en mi primer oportunidad laboral que se presente. Me siento nueva

Should I talk to my In law about it or just get over it? 🤔

Long story short, I added my MIL to a chat for my daughter’s birthday party. She had been feeling disconnected from my daughter so I thought this would be a nice way to keep her involved.

Well, she’s been buying things for the party and telling me after the fact, then I feel like an ass for saying no.

I know she is seeing the chat because she replies to everything but I’m just getting frustrated because she hits me with the “I just thought she would like it, but your in charge” or the “Whatever you want, mother knows best”… I appreciate the good intentions but I just end up feeling horrible for saying No, because it’s not on theme. This birthday is special to me and it’s the first one my daughter and I are actually planning together.

Should I just get over it or talk to her about it, because I feel like I opened the door by adding her to the chat. 🤔

Having time to yourself!!

Hi everyone, I rarely get any time to myself or a "day off" as such and on the days that I do, I still have to get up with the kids, do breakfast time ect whilst my husband has a lay in.
I get extremely frustrated because if you are working and you have a day off, you dont have to pop into work for a few hours do you? Like I still have to do the cooking and the washing ect. But for an actual job, you dont have to clock in to do the work that the other colleagues are incapable of doing so why should I?

Am I wrong for getting angry about it? I feel so bad on my babies for being frustrated about it but I cant help it.

As a stay at home mum, living away from the place I grew up, I literally do this solo for the best part of every single day. I have no friends or family surrounding me to help and my 1yo and 2yo are WILD.

Just wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation and how to go about resolving this.

MIL

My MIL calls my baby her baby and i absolutely hate it, I wouldn’t mind if she said my grandbaby as that’s true! She does also show signs of using her son(my partner) for a lot of emotional support and when she says my baby it sounds like her and his baby 🤢 am I overthinking it?

Nutrition

Anyone else struggling to eat well and enough to the point of shaking and heart palpitations? How are you guys finding time and energy to eat enough and nutritious meals being alone with your baby?

I feel so terrible guilty rant

I really hate being a mom like 90% of the time. I feel like im the mom i never wanted to be as in im angry and impatient and upset a lot. Im so tired only getting 4-6 hrs of broken sleep for the last 7 months. My son has trouble with drinking his milk and still doesnt want solids, doesnt want to be confined or put down but also wants to be very active. Im bruised scratched up, sore and in pain. Its been miserable 7 months and it just seems to be getting worse honestly and i thought it would get better. I used to be so compassionate understanding and fun and i dont even know who i am. Last night my son was up for 2 hours then 2 hours later another 2 hours i was crying and yelling please go to sleep. I just dont know how im going to keep doing this. Theres nothing to do i just got to keep going but its hard when theres no end in sight.

Fussy Eater

My 22 month old is becoming really fussy. She basically only wants to eat beige and stuff that are bad for her.

Any suggestions
