WWUD if someone says they are suicidal?

What would you do if during an argument, someone says they want to K*** themselves?

To give more background I recently said this in my last argument with my husband. I know that was not an okay thing to say the way I did, but I didn't do it to manipulate him in any way. Things haven't been the best between us since having a kid and because of past experiences I haven't felt safe talking about suicidal thoughts when I have them. I've been feeling a lot of emotional neglect from my partner and am "not allowed" to go to therapy to talk about these difficult emotions. So I kinda just blew up. I know he isn't always in the completely in the wrong when we fight, but I always end up leaving those arguments or conversations feeling like a crappy wife. Which has also been contributing to my dark thoughts.

What do you mean you are not allowed to go to therapy to talk about these feelings?

You're not allowed therapy??? He doesn't sound like a good husband to me

He doesn't agree with therapy. He thinks that therapists are just people you pay to be your friend and that I should come to him about everything.

Mmm sounds like an unhealthy environment for you, therapy is very beneficial and if you are are saying those things he should be taking them more serious and trying to get you the help you need. He doesn’t have to do it himself if he doesn’t believe in it but he shouldn’t stop you from trying things for your mental health

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
