Am I alone?

Please tell me I am not the only one who goes through stages where you love your husband but are not sure you really like him anymore?
I am currently injured and am still doing things I shouldn't despite the pain it puts me in. I just finished cleaning the air fryer, and I feel like I have a knife stabbing me in the elbow and another one mid way between the elbow and wrist. I was asked what the problem was, and I said I am hurting bad. Then, with attitude, husband say, "Well, I'm sorry you're hurting." This is making me sad and hurting my heart as much as my arm.

Wtf? He really had to go and make it about himself, instead of helping you out/tending to things that you shouldn’t do anyway?? I would tell him straight up how annoying it is and how he needs to step in with certain things 🙄

Have you tried sitting down with him and expressing to him how you feel and try to get on an emotional level vs the heat of the moment kind of thing?

he does help more than most men that work full time. It is less that I was doing stuff and more his attitude about it.

@Shelby, we argue often about stuff like this. I know I am not the best at cleaning and I do get overwhelmed easily, but he has never been good at the emotional stuff and I bottle stuff up so no.

Here is the thing you are injured, you are under doctors orders not to do x, y, and z. So don't do them! No matter how badly they need done. Instead ask your hubby to do them. Yes, it is going to take way longer to get them done and yes you will have to remind him to do it twice. But please let/make him do it! It is important that you rest your arm and let it heal!

@Naz maybe so, we are 24 years in.

Do you still have to pay when your childminder is on holiday?

If your childminder goes on holiday, are you still expected to pay?

WWYD?

Let's do this right this time 🫣

I saw a discussion about reborn dolls and it got me thinking.

I know they can be really helpful and therapeutic for some people, but I also know others find them uncomfortable or upsetting for personal reasons.

So I’m curious — what I saw a discussion about reborn dolls and it got me thinking.

You’re trying to get on public transport with a real child, but there are already two buggies on board carrying reborn dolls. The owners refuse to fold them down, meaning you can’t get on.

My daughter started her monthly…

I know it’s not like a big deal but I am emotional wreck. lol she started at school. We have had the conversation about it and how to handle it, but my baby girl called me crying ; she wanted me. 🥺🥺 And I just cried on the phone and told her mama is coming to get you. Lol
Anyway would a care basket be too much ?
Like with snacks, maxi pads, water, her favorite soda and a teddy bear( which she still collects) lol
Her dad thinks it’s too much and may make her feel uncomfortable.

Your go to meals?

What are some easy meals to whip up that your baby actually likes? My baby used to eat a variety when it was only tasting (before 11 months) but now she is almost 1 and really only purposefully eats ravioli, meat sauce, and fruit. I’m glad she eats those but looking for some other core meals I can make her that is also something I’d like to eat since it’s really not feasible to do 2 meals all the time. Looking for breakfast, lunch, and dinner ideas! She doesn’t care for toast which is interesting since almost every other baby seems to looove it - I’ve tried PB, almond butter, regular butter, avocado. Just not a toastie girl I guess. Pic of her and grandpa eating dinner 😁

My husband hit me and is acting like everything is fine ???

For context I have a 4 month old , just started my period yesterday so have been a bit of an emotional wreck.
I’d been having a down morning anyway and felt like one of those days where I didn’t feel like being a mum today (yes I feel guilty for saying that)
My husband was in bed and I was in the other room, little one was crying and wouldn’t settle so I was rocking him, husband comes in and took baby off me, I said he needs a nap he’s tired, to which my husband said “you always say he needs a nap” and I raised my voice slightly and said stop it!!! I pushed him away and he slapped me round the head saying YOU stop it!
I ignored him and let him take baby and left the house , long story short he went to work and came back acting as if everything was completely fine ?? It’s definitely not and I feel like I want to leave him but just scared to be a single mum and even though he upsets me most the time i see him as an extra person in the house so I can occasionally have a break
Because of the person he is I feel like it’s fine he didn’t mean it he was just angry, but he always said he would never hit me and he did for the first time today… not sure what to feel , don’t feel like i should let this slide.

WIBTAH if I start doing the same thing back to him?

My FIL keeps constantly filming me every single say. He isnt even sneaky about it anymore. He knows I dont like and still does it anyways. He doesnt care. The only time he doesnt is when he sees me filming other stuff for youtube cause he knows that I have an increased chance of catching him with proof if I record him recording me. He also aks me awkward questions about my phone even though he is the one recording me.
