Exhaustion 41+2 weeks

Sorry for the long story! I’m mentally and physically done. I’ve literally hit a wall I haven’t stopped crying today because I’m just so tired. I have an 18 month old and she clings to me which isn’t a problem but sometimes I get overstimulated and she’s also kicked and jumped on my stomach a few times today which I’m already in pain and in makes it worse. Also have severe PGP so even walking is painful and has been for the last month. My partner worked 7-12 today,our daughter was up till 3 but I had her downstairs so he managed to get a good 7 hours in. I got 3 hours because our daughter kept stirring/crying as she’s just getting over a cold and also my partner was waking my up because he was constantly taking the sheets and moving. He got back from work and sat with us for 10 minutes before saying he was in a lot of pain (he had a cold) and needs to lie down. I’m running off empty he slept for 2 hours and then when I came up he’d managed to spill a coke can on our WHITE bedding and said he didn’t know it was there 🙃 obviously I had to then put on a wash which just made me angry. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve cried today I’m just at my wits end,the past few weeks I’ve tried to remain positive but between him and my mum trying to tell me to book an induction/section because of their work and making me feel like an inconvenience I’m just done. I would love nothing more than to just be put in a little hole by myself and just have this baby because I’m done. I had my dog put down this week who I’ve had for 11 1/2 years and then yesterday a lady went into my car I’ve just had enough 😭 I’m sorry for the long post I don’t even know what I’m looking for but I just needed a rant

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.

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

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

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.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?
