Found a false nail in my baby's changing bag?!

I just found a French manicure looking false nail in my babies changing bag. I don't wear fake nails, nor do I know anyone who wears fake nails. Do you think my fiance could be cheating?

Does baby go to day care?

@Jo no. The only people who have had access to my babies changing bag is me and my fiance. X

How often do you leave him alone with the baby/bag? If he’s had opportunity for someone to be there then I’d blow up, but I’m toxic 😬

Could it have fallen in from a stranger passing by? People drop all sorts all the time.

@Jo I'm so confused because he doesn't take our baby out on his own hardly ever. He has taken our baby out to his mums about 3 times on his own in the past but that's about it I think 🤔 (and our baby is 15 months old now) i doubt someone's fake nail would of fallen into the changing bag if they was just passing by. It's a mystery. Obviously I'm going to ask my fiance later but he isnt going to admit to anything anyway 🙄 I just find it so weird!

That’s pretty sus. I’d have a hard time letting that go

@Lani I know! I can't stop thinking about it and asking myself if anyone I know has been in the bag, but they really haven't. But then I don't want to start accusing him of cheating when it could be something innocent 😕

If he's gone to his mums, could it not be hers? Or someone's who was there?

@Leanne his mum doesn't wear fake nails either. And he hasn't got any other family nearby that would of been there. Its definitely not from being at his mums house.

Could it be from when you’re out and about and putting things into the bag? Like maybe it attached itself to an item of clothing that you picked up from a changing table or something?

Does the bag have a zip? I have shot nails across the room because sometimes I’m quite agressive lol not saying it’s likely but there is a possibility it could have come off a complete stranger while you were out

I would have a conversation with him. Ask him if he’s had anyone around the baby, and then explain to him what you found in the bag and how it’s made you feel uneasy and confused. You haven’t got to accuse him of anything or get angry. I think your gut will be able to tell you pretty quickly if something is up from how he reacts to that conversation

My son’s dad (we’re not together) went to a Target once and realized he didn’t have diapers in the diaper bag anymore and asked a random mom who helped him out. All she had was like a size 5 or something so they did some weird stuff to make it work 😂 I could see a scenario like this where a woman was just helping your fiance and absentmindedly lost a nail in the process. I know it’s unlikely but hopefully this story may put your mind at ease a bit!

Avatar

I can’t say this would be my first thought/reaction. Is there a reason (more than the nail) that you suspect this? I would suggest asking if he has any knowledge of it and going from there

Any update? 🤔

Family culture difference on money

Sorry this is long, I hope some of you get to the end and give advice!!!

So I’m a very thrifty person, things are tight at the moment, the cost of living crisis and my house is heated by oil so things are extortionate. We aren’t on the bread line but we aren’t flush, hubby might be made redundant so there is some financial pressure.

Sometimes I buy my sons something nicer, on the justification that I can sell it on after (♥️ vinted ♥️). I have also been planning on pretty much breaking even most of the baby things I bought from face book market place, side by crib, baby changing unit, etc.

Hubby and I have different money cultures with our families (he’s Indian, I’m British). I’m my family we don’t mix money, we would help each other out if someone was in trouble and will get each other gifts on special occasions. With hubby’s family money is much more fluid, they will give each other things worth thousands of £ just because.

Hubby’s brother bought him a new laptop and a new Google phone, he’s been very generous to hubby. Hubby hasn’t given the same back because brother is much richer.

Hubby and I mostly share finances. If it’s relevant I’m the higher earner.

Now to the point! My babies are so cute they’ve given hubby’s brother (currently single) baby rabies. He’s asked for our baby stuff when we’re done with it. He’s been so generous to hubby I feel really stingy saying no. But I’d never have bought some of the stuff if I wasn’t going to get a return on it - the thought makes me a bit anxious. If we gave all our baby stuff given the second hand value it still wouldn’t equal what the brother had given hubby.


I thought maybe I could give him some stuff but sell some stuff, but hubby said then his brother will just have to go out and buy that stuff, so I should name my price and ask his brother for the money. That makes me feel very uncomfortable, given how generous the brother has been to hubby.

So what do I do ladies? Give it all and suck it up? Give part of it and sell parts on Vinted/FB, or ask hubbys brother for money for it and be uncomfortable? Or do you see another solution?

No one is being entitled or rude here, just a culture difference I need to navigate.

Going back to work!

Already thinking about this! Told my boss I was pregnant this week at 10 weeks, he was so happy for me. He’s recently became a first time Dad and was showing me pictures of his baby. I told him my plans about going back after 6 months and he looked at me like I was mad, am I!? I absolutely love my job and cannot imagine giving it up, I manage a team and am petrified my position won’t be there if I had a year off. My husband gets 6 months full pay so the plan would be for him to have the last 6 months off and I also made it clear to my boss that I would like to go part time. That way we can hopefully parent together 4/7 days rather than just the weekend! I am such an overthinking! 🤣 but this is what I’m struggling with the most, I’ve worked full time since I was 17 (12 years ago) and the max time I’ve had off in one go is 2 weeks when I got married. I’m sooo excited to be a Mum and we decided now was the right time, which it 100% is! But I feel so on edge about not working! I’m sure once I’m on maternity leave I won’t even think about work! Has anyone else felt the same?

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅
