Partner slamming doors due to my selfish behaviour?

So I'm a stay at home mum. Am I going insane here or do I have a point?!

I left partner last can of cola in fridge to take to work. He wasn't happy with me as he normally takes two to work. I apologised I didn't know he took two. It's not like I took the last one?!

Then he was getting crisps to take to work. He looked at me and continued to tell me how selfish I were. All the good ones have gone. I left him with the rubbish ones. I said sorry. He slammed the kitchen door and then slammed the bedroom door.

I haven't spoken to him all day until this evening. He asked what my problem was and I said was the slamming doors necessary? It isn't nice infront of purpose little girl. He then snapped back and said if i wasn't so selfish all of the time he wouldn't do it. It's my fault. And if I continue to be selfish he will do it again.

I'm so exhausted. No self esteem left. I'm selfish yes I get it. Why do I continue to be in this horrible cycle. Need a shoulder :(

Oh no don’t be harsh on yourself that is very childish of you partner over a can of coke and some crisp chin up and send you big hugs xx

He sounds really childish, like a toddler having a tantrum

Honestly he seems like a toddler and a complete waste of space. He needs to grow up and realise throwing tantrums over snacks and lashing out is the dumbest thing ever

Me and my partner have a little jokey jibe at each other when the good crisps go first but that isn't a laugh between partners or even just a bit of a moan (which we're all guilty of) that's a full blown tantrum over something really f*cking ridiculous! Xxx

LOL sorry but he needs to get a grip. Sounds like you have two children. I’d be inclined to drink the last one next time and eat all the crisps🐷☺️

His behaviour is ridiculous

This would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact men kill their partners for less, why are you with someone who treats you with this much contempt?

Avatar

From my own experience this is more than snacks.. is he stressed with work, family or anything else? Who would throw a whole tantrum because of snacks??
Try talk to him on a more general level maybe he’s struggling with something?
Then find the right time to tell him how his actions have hurt you because this is a completely unacceptable behaviour

And don’t be so harsh on yourself, you got this

Slamming doors is abuse. You did nothing wrong. He is using DARVO on you! This is emotional manipulation!

I feel you...mine let's say won't slam the door, but he will give me a very nasty look from nothing actually, for example if I will ask him to follow my routine for daughter, he will start raising the voice that I put too much pressure on him, and he does just minimum, everything is on me....and I forgot to say, I have to say please every time I am asking for something...he makes me crying so often

This is psycho behaviour. He should go to the shop and get the bits he wants if there is none left. This is not a legit reason to be upset and slamming doors!

Avatar

Really not cool on his part. I mean, if he had asked specifically for you to leave two cans, and for you to leave his favourite crisps, it might be worth him raising a conversation. But slamming doors and behaving like this is not okay. He's getting upset as though you're a room mate then flipping out like he's a toddler. X

And get this one. He said he was cooking tea. I decided to start my girls craft for her bday. He goes upstairs. I start to smell burning. I go to the pan. Burnt pan tea ruined. "You could of checked on it"

Oh so it's my fault now. Apparently it's common sense.

He normally sets timers when he is cooking. But again he now has abandoned tea. Never his fault for going upstairs and leaving it!!! Gone to sit upstairs for the night now.

So now I'm making tea for little one late.

Sick to death of being blamed for absolutely everything. Honestly there's always always an issue

It's like he just can't wait to have a pop at me.

We have just been through 9 months of being homeless to get a council house. I can't go through it all again. So frustrated and fed up.

Nursery lunches?

My daughter is nearly 10 months old and starting nursery next month. I want to send my daughter in with lunches so I know shes eating healthy meals but I'm honestly so lost as to what to put in her little bento lunch box that will keep till lunch time and doesnt need reheating. Ive been doing loads of baby led weaning at home, but I tend to make it fresh or pull stuff from the freezer I've previously made and defrost and reheat.
Could you show me some of the lunches you've been giving your baby? Or have you been been letting the nursery deal with the food?

Resentment and placing blame on partner

Firstly, please don’t judge me - I’m aware all my thoughts aren’t rational and I do already feel badly about them

I’m finding myself becoming easily frustrated, annoyed, and placing a lot of blame on my partner for many things. Now I’d get it if he was rubbish but he’s not - he has the baby straight away when he gets home from work, he lets me get ready and shower before he goes to work, he pitches in with the chores and gives me any time I ask for off. He doesn’t go out loads either.

I do a lot of the mental labour - realising we need more of and purchasing clothes, milk, groceries, deciding dinner, cooking, cleaning, thinking about what baby needs, etc.

However I just find myself annoyed and blaming him for so many things I find difficult. I know this isn’t fair, but it’s almost like I’m angry that he’s finding it easy and I’m not. Angry if I’ve just got the baby to sleep and he doesn’t think and closes doors to loudly. Angry when he doesn’t dress baby warm enough, or when he puts him in a car seat with a coat on. When he forgets a blanket or doesn’t wash his hands and plays with him. When hes snoring and I’ve just got the baby to drift off.

We have had many conversations and he has tried to take loads off me but it never feels like enough for me to stop being annoyed with him.

Am I experiencing some sort of post partum mental health issues? I find myself upset and crying a lot. any advice would help.

Parenting 24/7 is harder than going to work full time?

I’m having a debate with my partner as he’s done nothing to help since. Our 14 month old was born, I’ve done it all alone all day and all night. He gets a break when he comes in from work all night I never get a break
He try’s to tell me it’s harder going to work full time 5 days a week than parenting ALONE 24/7?
What do you think

What would u do? What should i do

So to try to explain this in the best way possible I have a very small apartment.
I opened my back door which leads directly to the laundry room of the building. Lately, I started bringing my son in the laundry room with me because he bangs on the door and tries to get out.

Today I opened the door to get my stuff out of the dryer. I saw I guess my neighbor putting stuff in the washer. It’s a very tight space so I closed the door and was planning on going back after he leave instead of crowding up the space with the baby. Plus I was in shorts and had no bra on, it was an older man.

I latched my door with the dead lock as I usually do so that I do not get locked out and I just left it that way without thinking about it.

I turned my back walk maybe about 5-7steps. My apartment is barely 15 steps front to back.
Turn around. Realize my baby is GONE he’s only 16 months!

I start yelling for him. I approach the door and I hear my son laughing…
The man had opened my door to lure my son in the laundry room with him without me knowing!!!!!!!

They were playing 🤯

He was there for no more then 20-30 seconds if that. It happened so fast, he doesn’t speak good English he’s polish
My door usually slams loud when closed, so this was done quietly…..


When I discovered that the man was with my son, I was trying to simply take my kid back in the house, but he continued on playing and I was yelling at my son that he shouldn’t be wondering without me.

No, first off I know for a fact, my son did not open the door number one. It’s very heavy and number two. He doesn’t know how to open doors yet.

And I asked the man straight out did my son open the door and he said no I did.

My son could get the door to open maybe an inch, I know that. So he must have done that and the man just decided to open it and bring my son with him.

I’m so outraged. Annoyed, uncomfortable. I live alone just me and my son.

What do I do?

I don’t know if he is maybe a visitor, I see his car sometimes but usually it’s another person who looks like him with a different car. Maybe my neighbors dad is my best bet.


Anyway. What should I do? Should I bring this to management. Should I approach my neighbor and figure out exactly who that was?

Thanks ladies wish me luck

Potty training ready?

Hello everyone I was wondering if my son may be potty training ready? My son is 17m almost 18m old. He is not afraid of the toilet and actually curious about it. He is always trying to rip off his diaper even when completely dry and once he gets it off he throws it around like 3 times before he walks away. However, I did hear one sign that makes kids potty ready is dry diapers at night. He still fills up those bad boys. So in all of your experiences do you think hes ready?
