I’m so sorry (Just a rant, excuse my language)

I’m so sorry that I have to inconvenience you so fucking much by asking you to watch OUR son. I’m so sorry that it took me a few minutes to let YOUR dog out while I was taking care of OUR son and doing YOUR half of the house work. I’m so sorry that YOU have to be woke up at 11:30 am from OUR son crying while *I* was up ALL FUCKING NIGHT with him crying. I’m so sorry that *I* did the dishes that have been sitting on the counter for TWO WEEEKS that YOU were “about to do.” I’m so sorry *I* took out the trash that has been sitting in the bin, over flowing ALL WEEK stinking up OUR house. Cause I’m sure you were “about to do that” too. I’m sorry I reorganized the chore chart to be more convenient for YOU. I’m sorry I don’t want to be intimate because I’m so fucking mentally and emotionally exhausted from doing EVERYTHING while you sit on your ass playing video games the SECOND you get home from work and play through the night. I’m so sorry I ask you to be quite while I am working and I’m interrupting your time with the boys. I’m so sorry I ask you not to go out drinking with your friends because then you’ll have the car all night. I’m sorry that I ask you not to throw money at stupid shit because I would like to have food in the house and be able to pay the bills. Oh, and I’m sorry I find bills to be important. I’m sorry that I want to keep a roof over our heads. And I’m sorry that I’m tired of having the SAME FUCKING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ALL OF THIS!! I’m sorry I blow up on you because you NEVER FUCKING LISTEN!!

Idiot husband

I am fuuuuming. Livid. Hubby went out to the pub last night, not a problem, you deserve it after a long week at work.

We have a baby and toddler.. so I said, sleep in the other room, take our toddlers monitor, as I don’t want you to disturb the baby.

I wake up to my toddler screaming, WITH HIM SLEEPING THROUGH IT!!!! When I checked her camera she was crying for 8 minutes. She has been awake over an hour now because she fully woke herself up crying so much. Her words: ‘daddy didn’t come’

Needed a space to rant before I actually go and bop him on the bloody nose😡😡😡😡

Am I doing this wrong ?? 🥲🥲

My baby just turned 9 months old and I move had her on purées since 6 months. She’s now on thicker and lumpier purées but after she was doing a better job at eating 2 meals a day she’s now back to refusing food most of the time. She’d take a spoonful or 2 and I can tell she likes the taste but then she’d refuse to eat any more. She used to do this at 7 months I can’t believe we’re back to this again 😭😭

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong here… should I just go the BLW route instead ?? Am I progressing her too slowly into solids?

Nursery fund process

Can anyone please explain how does the nursery fund process work. I'm supposed to return to work mid September and I'm really stressed about what to do. When should I start looking for nurseries and how does the funding from the government works. I would appreciate if someone could explain in details.

Any WFH moms with little/no childcare?

I start back to work from home in a little over a week. My LO will be almost 4 months then (16 weeks). What are your best tips and tricks to make things go smoothly for you and for baby?

What’s wrong with me?

My marriage has been struggling for years now. I just had another baby after falling for the lies and promises of change from an absent husband and poor excuse of a father to my children.
I’m left alone with 3 children to manage the house, the kids the meals the cleaning the shopping the drop offs and everything in between. I go days without showering or having to hold my toilet with no support as I cannot leave a newborn with toddlers. I’ve made adjustments like a bouncer in the bathroom and chairs in every room so baby is just glued to my hip 24.7 if I’m lucky enough to have a shower it’s with my baby watching me usually screaming. I used to have hobbies, dreams. I’ve tried filing for divorce, it’s a long story but for right now I’m stuck where I am.
I have just 1 friend and other than my mother no other form of support. I look in the mirror and I don’t know who the person is staring back at me. I fill with anger and rage and I want to damage something. I’m the worse version of myself and feel like I’m failing my children just moving from one day to the next. I’m not the person that looks like they struggle. I’m the person everyone turns to for help and advice when in reality I’m falling apart at the seams. A fresh blow dry, a blazer and heels and a fake smile. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors
I don’t need advice or medication I guess I just wanted to get this off my chest.

Weening

I’m a chef by trade but never for a baby 😂 ok so I’ve been weening my daughter since 4 months old she’s had purées and has been smashing them since the first day, for her 6 month “half birthday” we made her a whole stake and she’s refused to touch the purées since, I ordered a baby cook book but it’s only got recipes for 10 months plus. Best solid foods to give my 6 month old? She won’t even eat the fruit purees anymore the stake has turned her savage 😂 thank you all! Xx
