Am I going crazy?

I need some opinions on a situation that happened last night between my husband and I… We ordered some dinner for take out from a local quick serve greek place and he said no need for dessert and I told him I was going to order a few pieces of Baklava because they were buy one get one free and he says “ oh in that case, yeah.” Setting the scene… when dinner arrives I’m prepping my food into a bowl because the containers are very small, on the other side of the kitchen facing away from him. He asks me what dessert I ordered, I say Baklava? Then he says, what kind, I turn around and say Baklava again, not understanding what he means and he starts says “you don’t need to talk to me like that” and I’m all “like what, it’s baklava; how else do I explain it?” His response is “you don’t need to talk to me like I’m stupid. There are different kinds of Baklava.” So now I’m confused because my husband is a very smart person and sure, there are different kinds of baklava, but come on this place is not anything fancy or special, so it didn’t cross my mind to explain they don’t carry different types of baklava especially since he looked at the menu himself less than an hour before and didn’t ask me then if there were different kinds. So he sits down on the couch to look for a movie with ads and things playing and I’m still facing away prepping my food and I guess he was still talking or asking me something, so then he loudly says “Oh now you’re just going to ignore me” and I’m like “What, I didn’t hear you over the TV” please note he constantly complains I ask him to repeat things because I am legitimately losing hearing in one ear. So then I come over there and start to apologize and say “I’m really sorry if I made you feel that way, I didn’t think to explain there was only one kind of Baklava. What’s going on” then he starts going off about how I’m still doing it, talking with my hand (which I’m Italian and literally have talked with my hands regardless of my mood my entire life and he’s never complained) and not being genuine. As he’s ranting, I’m trying to ask clarifying questions or answer/rebut comments he’s making and he starts mocking my voice and I definitely lost my cool and was like “efff bro” out of frustration and then he’s like “see you always try to turn things around and make me the bad guy” so then I’m like I came over here to apologize to you because I made you feel bad unintentionally? Then he goes “I’m going to do what you always do and say this is not productive and end this conversation and forget about it.” Then we moved on and watched a movie like nothing happened. Am I nuts or is something else going on here? Or am I being a jerk and don’t see it?

Is this clever or cruel?

My husband and i were talking and with social media and the internet in general being a terrifying dumpster fire, we are trying to figure out the best way to keep our son safe while still teaching him how to safely be online and moderation.

We landed on the idea of giving him the 90's kid treatment. A computer in the living room for us to keep an eye on what hes doing online, and once we feel hes mature enough to hang with friends without adult supervision he gets a flip phone. When we feel he is responsible enough and he earns and saves up the money for the physical phone, case, and screen cover, then we will be happy to take him to get a smart phone.

I thought this was air tight, but now my brother says its cruel to give a kid a flip phone, and besides he can just use his friends phones at school.

My husband and i remember a time before the internet, and we remember having complete access to something no one understood yet. We saw unspeakable things and are always battling with the urge to put the phone and social media down. I dont want that for my son, especially with his brain so vulnerable still.

Partner no longer wants baby #2

Before our son was born we originally both wanted minimum 2 kids but we were hoping for 3-4. My partner found the birth traumatic to watch and also struggled a lot with the newborn/baby stage. He no longer wants to have any more children and it’s completely breaking my heart. I need another baby. We’ve spoken about it a lot and the options. He said he wasn’t COMPLETELY closed off to it so I asked him to try and work through his feelings and reconsider his decision. He eventually said he definitely doesn’t want another. I know that I will always want one and my feelings will never change. Do we have to break up or does anyone know anything else I can do to help change his mind? Has anyone else’s partner said this and then changed their mind? I don’t want to break up because I adore him and our life together and I’d hate to split up our family for “selfish” reasons and make my son miss out on having both of us together but I just don’t know what to do

Nursery funding

My child turned 9 months last week. I applied for government funded hours nearly 2 months ago and so well within the required timeframe for the April term, however upon receiving my first invoice without the funding applied and having questioned this, I have now been informed that the stretched funding doesn’t start until 4th May.

Has anyone else been told it won’t start until May?

The government site states it should start from April 1st, and so I intentionally set my nursery start and return to work as the start of April for that reason, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nursery on my sole income without the funding

Jealous of my husband

I’m so jealous of him and it’s making me resentful. We have a ten week old and I’m jealous that he is at work all day. I’m jealous he can leave for lunch and actually eat an uninterrupted lunch. Take a phone call uninterrupted. Chat with a friend he runs in to uninterrupted. Even go to the bathroom when he wants uninterrupted. He comes home from work when he wants. He’s not on a set schedule. Some days are late some are early. It depends on when he’s done. I’m jealous he can come home at 10pm and shower, eat and go right to bed uninterrupted because I already have the baby asleep. He doesn’t have to worry about anything house wise or baby wise because I’ve done it all. Meanwhile I’m covered in puke and crap and smell like rotten milk. When he is home he is VERY active and helpful. So it’s not that. I’m just jealous his world hasn’t changed and mine has I guess. This isn’t something he’s doing wrong so I’m not sure how to get past this. I wish I could keep him home all day because that’s how helpful he is, but I understand he obv needs to work.

NHS job

Anyone work for the NHS and does 12 hour shifts? How do you work around childcare and your partners job?

Toddlers

How often are your toddlers asking for food? My oldest who is 3 just finished a whole plate of food and not even 10 minutes later he’s requesting more food. I know he’s going through a growth spurt, but how do you respond to this.
