Just sad

Baby daddy won’t help with daughters daycare iv been paying ever since she started at 6M and he helps every blue moon or not at all . I asked could he pay her bill Friday which is $205 a week cause I was out of work the week before due to Covid and my check was horrible. But I asked him could he pay this week he said all I have is $100 😒 like really but he in the jewelry store today trying to buy his gf something for Valentine’s Day like really. What about your daughter I’m doing everything (with help with my family) alone He is sooo 🤬🤬🤬 I’m so tired of him and idk what’s going on with child support he’s in the system but they haven’t served him yet like I’m so over it he gets away with everything will I try to make sure our daughter is good I sacrifice so much. No friends no love life no alone time just so my baby is taking care of 😔😞😢

Girl I'd be on top of them people regarding child support

Stay strong. I feel for you - he sounds like just another deadbeat dad. I can't believe he's spending money on a new GF- the new GF should know he's a deadbeat dad. If she gets a heads up that he is a deadbeat, and she keeps dating him, all she will face is misery.

I’m mostly definitely am I’m calling them this morning smh just sad

oh she knows had to do some exposing right before Christmas of him still flirting with me talking about her kids asking me to pick him up from work I played a little part with the flirting back but I was honest with her and apologized but he continued lieing and I got called a miserable lonely broke B* tch by him lol 😂 but you don’t have a car and your staying at your gf place calling it your own but I have a nice car a roof over my head (even though I live with my mom) a good job and I’m making sure your daughter is ok financially while still paying my bills. He’s one of those dads that hardly do the bare minimal he likes to show her off on instagram and talk about how cute she is and he calls himself the fun parent ( yeah I beat cause you don’t pay for the important things just take pictures when you have her) while I struggle to save up for my own place and daycare

right I’m calling them back today cause ain’t no way

oh wow I didn’t know that. I need to cause $205 weekly adds up wish daycare wasn’t so high

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

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.

Struggling

My husband works and does so much for me and my baby girl. However I get annoyed every time he hops on a video game he usually plays for 1-2 hrs if she's still awake and has like 3+hrs of free time once she goes to sleep (i co/contact sleep). The last time I was able to have actual free time was last month when I tried to turn some onesies into shirts for baby girl to sleep in- and I wasn't able to finish them and haven't picked them up since lol. The only free time I get is while she's napping right next to me where I can't move an inch or breathe too deeply or she'll wake up, or when I shower. Crafting used to be my outlet and now if I were ever to tell him that I need to craft I don't even know what I would do or where to start I just sit there and stare.... just losing myself and I'm struggling with it. Does anyone else feel the same way? What do I do?
