Does anyone have advice on how a dad to be can get a connect with his baby to be?

My partner has recently voiced a concern of not feeling a connection with our unborn baby as I'm only 12 weeks I've told him not to worry about it and it will come with time, but is there away he could start feeling a connection quicker so he feels more better. He comes to my scans cuddles bumb etc. He just ain't feeling a connection. Xx

Would it bother you if your husband was hanging out with his sister at 4am in a closed bedroom upstairs while you’re in bed downstairs?

My sister in law is visiting/spending the night and we haven’t seen her in over a year because of living abroad. I have some past trauma from my own family so I was triggered when my husband saw that I was almost asleep at 4am when he was up playing video games and instead of coming to bed, went upstairs to chat with his sister. But I sound crazy even saying anything because it’s his sister, right? Is it inappropriate? Am I buggin? Would you feel uncomfortable?

3 year old saying teachers hit him at daycare

My son started daycare at 2, he is now 3 and shakes with fear and cries at daycare drop off. He doesn’t want to go and when I ask him why, he says his teacher is mean to him and that she hits him in the back. I put a lot of thought in choosing this daycare. There is one particular teacher that he always says is mean to him. However, there is another teacher that he likes, and he specifically asks for her and is ok to be with her. Could this be true that his teacher hits him? Should I bring it up to the daycare management? Have your children said something similar and it turned out to be true? My husband thinks he is saying this to get out of going to daycare. My son is very attached to me and wants to spend every second of the day with me. He won’t even let his dad do anything for him, it’s always mommy. My heart is breaking. I don’t want to strain our relationship with the daycare, but is it appropriate to bring up my concerns and tell them that my son says he is being hit at daycare? Sorry, it’s a little bit of a rant. Please respond with your thoughts on what you would do.

Screen or paper — how do you handle story time?

My husband is working on a kids’ reading app and it’s got me thinking — do you prefer your kids read on a tablet or a physical book? Curious what other moms think and why!

..... divorce or marriage counseling?

2 kiddos, no DV, No cheating. Financially we are okay, slowly moving up in physical stability. However emotionally and physically we seem to hate each other. To be honest I cannot stand him anymore. I spent the whole time giving myself to my newborns, then to him. He can't even tell me I am pretty, or appreciated, or.... anything, besides argue and diminish me. I cannot stand him.

He hasn't been evil.

Do I do therapy (which will be its own fight)
Or just start paperwork?

AITAH?

My husband’s therapist told him to start doing an exercise with me and tell me one thing every day that he’s gained in the last 3 years.

His first response yesterday was our daughter his first born.

I got upset that this was his first response. His defense was that his kids come first and always. Which okay wasn’t fully expecting him to say me or anything BUT we have 2 other kids and he didn’t say the kids he named her specifically.

I get she’s his first born but he spoils her rotten she’s always getting new stuff and toys and things and the other girls really don’t granted my oldest is always getting in trouble and usually grounded and our youngest is still a baby but I can’t help but feel like she’s his favorite and shows it loudly. She’s even his screen saver just her and him.

Am I wrong to have gotten annoyed/upset? I told him I just didn’t think that was gunna be his answer.

Idk maybe I’m taking it out of proportion 🤷🏻‍♀️

Break up

I am utterly heartbroken as my husband has decided our marriage is over. It’s come pretty out of the blue, I genuinely just thought we were having a rough patch and we’d come out the other side. We have a 3 year old and 5 year old and honestly I don’t know how I’m supposed to cope when it comes to separate Christmas’ and birthdays. My 3 year old will never remember us together. I don’t want them to have step parents- honestly I don’t think I’d ever be in love again. I had planned to do life with this man and it’s just over? How do I pick myself up and carry on? I just want to cry
