My husband forgot to feed my son

You are not at all , what in the total fuck ! I'm Sorry Mamas

I don't think your overreacting as such that being said im assuming your little boy is okay??

It's not acceptable but I don't think men overall get it and are instinctive if that makes sense .

I would suggest sitting down with him and talking through it all also possibly writing it down for him . You shouldn't have too but maybe the guidance would help .

@Allison I have 6 children and when they were younger and even now theirs times I will look at my watch and be like bugger its 3pm and forgot lunch .

The babies are fed every 2 hours but their 7 weeks old but the big kids I forget occasionally but know if they were hungry they would inform lol .

When my youngest son was born he was nicu and we were allowed to take him out for 3 hours well whilst out he'd don't a poonami and forgot clothes well myself and his dad argued walking into the shop to get him clean clothes and realised we had left him in his prma outside .

Well I'm now a Foster mamma and told Ss the story only the other day and they laughed and said well we all forget something in parenting occasionally no harm done he's now 16 years old .

My husband came by me pushing the kids swings at the water park so I let him push the 2 year old while I pushed my 5 year old. He was looking at his phone and kept pushing my 2 year old hitting the wall. So I swing her the other way and told him that he’s pushing the swing into the wall. Then he kept looking at the phone and my daughter was crying in the swing. So I screamed at him that he’s not even looking at our 2 year old while swinging her. Picked her up and took her somewhere else in the indoor water park. He looked at me annoyed that I was yelling at him. F idiot. My husband never spoon fed my kids. It’s always been my mil and me. But that’s my example of careless husbands

Nope. Because if we as mothers cN do it so can he. That was just plain ignorant and irresponsible

I don’t think her missing lunch is a huge panic, but I’d be so annoyed at the principle! You probably have a million and one thoughts in your head about your baby all the time and what needs doing, and the fact he forgot something when looking after her for little while just shows how much of the mental load is falling to you. He is also the parent

Yeah mines done that before “they weren’t grumpy or anything so I didn’t think”
It’s annoying but there’s no harm done. Other than messing up routine sometimes xx

Yep, my little girl had a late nap and missed her dinner. He was watching her while I was upstairs. I came down and asked if she'd had her dinner - literally needing warming up. He said she wasn't hungry. I made it and she ate two portions...

How annoying

Thank you all for taking the time to read me and share your pov and own experiences, thank god my son is fine but how annoying is having men to behave like that 😩

I'm not surprised u were annoyed I'd be fuming. I can't say I've ever forgotten feed our LG, she's always at the forefront of my mind. I may have forgotten her dessert then remembered not long after. I to have to remind my husband to do the basic things for our LG. It can be exhausted at times as we shouldn't have to.

Hey Kristel. Do you feel better? Me and my husband agreed to get a massage after the kids fall asleep. My mil will be home with them. My therapist said I need to feel better. I am trying to feel better without just leaving the kids to him. I don’t trust him with kids brushing teeth and showering. But I am overwhelmed and stressed out. Find something to do to feel better. I will pray for us tonight

thanks Kitty I do feel better, I also go to therapy and I’m going to bring this up in my next session, I already trust that my husband can handle my kid and some chores but this “little” things are steps back to that trust that I’ve been struggling to feel.

I am glad you feel better. Yeah bring it up
