Vent About Your Husband/Boyfriend Issues

Can’t help feeling bitter

Me and my partner are in a relationship and share a 4 month daughter, we live separately with our own families but I can’t help feeling like a single mum because we are living apart so there’s no family unit as such. Now I’m starting to resent him as he works 6 days a week on good pay, his temporarily only giving me £50 p/week towards childcare, is able to go out socialising spontaneously whilst I’m looking after our daughter 24/7.

When I was pregnant we were living together and going half on bills and now he says he can’t afford it on his own (I’m on mat leave so not in a position to contribute) hence why we now live apart. The thing is I know he has a huge inheritance which I think his forgotten that I know and I don’t particularly want to bring it up as I’m not after his money and don’t want it to come across that way. Also his family are quite wealthy and haven’t offered to help with anything.

I really don’t feel like I’m in a relationship but I don’t have an actual “reason” to leave. The spark just isn’t there for me. I don’t know what to do as it all stems from disappointment of him not being able to provide a roof over our head despite promising this when I was pregnant.

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

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.

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

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
