Hate my partner 65% of the time

I don’t know if this is normal.
My partner is great very hands on with our baby.
They have a great bond and he’s been supportive with things around the house etc.
But when I make suggestions pertaining to our son or things around the house (we need more storage space for clothes but he says we already have too much stuff etc.) he is quite critical and occasionally dismissive and I’m beginning to mentally batter him with a baseball bat while smiling through gritted teeth.
Am I just hormonal??

Girllll lol I wish my partner helped like that. Yes it is normal. We just nitpick and want more. But it sounds like you have a good thing. How about downsizing to get things how you want them. There’s always a compromise.

Hmm I think maybe some perspective is due, I see some women here talking about how they have no help and support at all from their shitty men. No partner is perfect.

This does just sound like his priorities maybe don’t 100% align with yours in regards to the house storage 😅although massively depends on the way he’s being dismissive and critical!! I do hate the idea that just because so many men are crap it means we all have to be grateful for what should be considered the bare minimum for a dad, and you can’t find anything annoying🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Super normal hormone feeling. My husband has been amazing and I would just get irritated at the dumbest things.

Any September 2025 babies crawling yet

My little one isn’t crawling yet but he loves tummy time

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

How do you dry your 🐱?

Looking to settle a debate with husband, he is teaching our girls to dry themselves after they shower, i am teaching them to dry to a certain point on the inside but not between

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x
