Why do men constantly moan?!

I love my husband dearly, I really do. But by Christ he finds every excuse possible to moan about something.
He's off on holiday over the festive period, I'm still working part time. We've both had a flu, yet he feels so much worse apparently. Just lays there, moaning, whilst I somehow find the energy to do the washing, housework etc etc which naturally doesn't just stop because we're ill.
He tells me I can have a lie in this morning (how genuinely nice of him), yet before 8am I've been woken three times by our toddler because my husband won't get up with him. He eventually gets up with him, but by that point I'm awake.
I come downstairs to find him moaning on the sofa he doesn't feel well, he's tired, he's sore. Jee, me too! Yet I've stripped and made the beds, done the dishes etc etc while he just moans he's tired.

Men are lazy sorry if it offends you but they just don’t seem to possess what attributes women have. It’s 2nd nature to us without even thinking but for men everything’s half assed or just too much effort 🙄 9/10 their mums are to blame

Was she wrong for ignoring us?

We celebrated Eid as well as my baby’s first birthday on Friday at my in laws house. When we were there, some family friends of my husband also came. He calls them his uncle and he came with her daughter who is 27. We have met a handful of times, and they came to our wedding as well. My husband and I have 2 kids. When his uncle and daughter came, she greeted everyone accept myself and the kids. She ignored us the entire time and when she left she didn’t say bye to us either. She was also off with my husband as well. When I asked my husband he thinks she’s behaving like this because he used to visit them almost every day and since we got married and had kids he hasn’t. Our kids are 3 and 1, and the last 2 years has been so intense. Difficult pregnancy and postpartum plus a baby with colic. Is she wrong for being rude to us like this or is it my husband’s fault ? Also why is it always the woman that gets blamed, I almost feel like she’s blaming me for him not coming to visit…

Weaning

Anyone feeling a little lost with weaning, should I be offering my 7.5 month old 3 meals a day? I don’t know by what age how much they should be eating?😩

I think half my problem as well it maybe I don’t eat the most nutritious breakfast and lunch 😂 I never cooked lunches from scratch but I also have a Velcro baby so cooking in itself is a mission

Money in Marriage

Hi, has anyone got an advice? My husband and me are not best with money. Basically, all my husbands wage at the moment goes to bills, rent, his petrol and some loans we took out. He has some little leftover for groceries, subscriptions and stuff. All my wage is for the whole months groceries and any other spendings like new furniture, trips, clothes, etc.
I also started a new business so I get money from there (from clients) but it's not too predictable, for now it's going to groceries only.

Usually it goes that we live off my wage for half a month or a little more, I feel comfort and freedom and then my husband kind of reassures me that we can spend more because he will also have some money left and in the end I often find myself at the checkout with an empty bank account calling him to send me money or put money on the spending card and it's embarrassing and frustratibg. It happens because either A) he doesn't think about me needing money throughout the day even though the shopping is all on me. And B) sometimes things come up for example he didn't realise he didn't pay a subscription yet, or this past week his business sent invoices too late so he lacked cashflow in his business account and couldn't pay himself, so we are broke these days even though he has around £2000 profit right now that he is owed.

Sometimes I really want something and he pays for it and then later on I find out that because of that he didn't pay some bill and then when we actually need something and I thought has, he tells me about the outstanding bill.

We tried budgeting together many times and it's all so straightforward on paper but in day to day life it's confusing

i’m 3months postpartum.
my bump is on the way down but still there and feels hard.
i’m trying to be healthier & exercise..
but my husband keeps treating me!
coming home with mcdonald’s i didn’t ask for or sweet treats on shopping.

i’ve told him i didn’t ask for it and I’m trying to lose weight. it starts an argument and he tells me i’m ungrateful.. even though i never ask for mcdonald’s . he gets all grumpy and says i am ungrateful because i didn’t want him to bring home coffee or treats. i don’t ask for it

i feel like he doesn’t want me to look nice or start to have my life back again

*EDIT* he also cooks and serves my meals up..waayyyy too high! the bowl is literally over flowing. how can i tell him about portion control?
