Emotions with housemates

I don’t know if I’m being selfish and a bitch or I’m just emotional asf.

I’ve been feeling really lonely and emotional about everything since the start of my 2nd trimester, I’m now 20 weeks and that feeling hasn’t gone away at all, I’m unable to regulate my emotions at all and I end up being very moody when it comes to certain things.
I’m currently dealing with a housemate that literally acts like a child and does not consider anyone else but her when it comes to the house let alone myself and partners area.

For info she needed somewhere to live due to abuse in a last house so I thought I would be nice and help her out, now when it comes to certain things she does around the house like I appreciate her helping out and cleaning when she doesn’t need to given it’s mine and my partners mess.
Now instead of just cleaning she has decided to redecorate mine and my partners lounge and the kids room and completely show everything that is not the kids stuff into the office and now that is a bombshell that I have to clean and get it ready for when I have guests over and not just that certain days I nest and want everything clean.
We lost the spare room we had to put all our junk/ stuff we’re not using since she’s taken that room so we had things in the kids room since we didn’t have the space (we don’t have a garage).
Not to mention she has not told my self or my partner let alone ask if she can do these things, she will just do it and expect us to clean up the bombshell she has created and just deal with it, she also ended up putting pins in the walls for pictures and has left holes in those places (we live in a rental) I’m just so annoyed and pissed off for the fact she didn’t consult in myself before she did anything.

Other thing is that she smokes weed everyday and the house constantly stinks of it and I can’t bare the smell so I put down some guidelines and as I did I feel like the bad guy because she’s completely shut down over me telling her off and laying boundaries in my house.
There’s is so many other things that annoy me that I have spoken to her about but I just constantly feel like I’m dealing with a child or I’m just in high school again.

I want to kick her out because I don’t need this added on stress but I don’t wanna end up being the bad guy.

I just don’t know how to deal with it nor my emotions anymore 😭

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?

People telling you your baby is hungry..

I know people don’t always mean it in a bad way and are trying to relate, but when people say my baby is hungry when chewing his hands. I feed him regularly. He eats pretty much every 2 hours. He isn’t hungry, he just loves chewing and exploring his hands. Or they say something about teething, which it is also not, as he isn’t unsettled with it. I have looked into it myself and can be common and neither of those things! He has done it most of the day since 2 months old.
