Going crazy (,please help)

Baby girl is almost 3 with no birth certificate..I'm almost 30 with no ID/PASSPORT.. also, I'm not earning an income...living with my partner and his father, in his grandmother's house that passed away a few years ago..his father supports him as much as he can, and I just feel like an unprogressive weirdo... I'm low-key terrified and high key sad about it, because I know we both need real help..please help.. it's like we're too unfocused to reach a money goal when it comes to the most important thing (or at least one of them, which is me getting my ID/passport so we can get our daughter her birth certificate) 🥺 this is very frustrating

Just get your id. It’s not that much money

I'm so lost.. your child is 3 years old and they don't have a birth certificate? Lol

Laughing bc YOU are strong girl.. I literally BALLED MY EYES out 2 days home from hospital. & it was all when my husband's aunt was like "aww she's absolutely precious guys, so now you're all settled and got her birth certificate, you guys must be so excited" as she was holding my daughter.. I CRIED SO HARD I'm like "They never gave me her birth certificate?!?!?!!!" I FREAKED OUT lol. I called the hospital & we went in that same day & they had me fill a form & then told me how to get it online through the dmv? I can't remember right now lol. Then they issued her social security & I felt like WOOSAH okay lol.

A license or ID is only 5-30.00 so I'm confused.. if that's what you need to get her government paperwork.. then do it..

I had to pay $20 at the city hall, the hospital did a good job explaining to me the process of getting all the paperwork together, even the papers for his social security were done at the hospital!
I am not going to sugar coat, you need to get your ID and also proper identification for your kid, it is important to have those with you!
Things are rough and I know that feeling and is one of the worst feeling, remember you have control of your life, try to read about a new topic everyday, maybe you will find something that catch your eye and maybe you can gain an income out of it…. Let’s say you feel passionate about “x” topic after reading and learning about it… look for jobs or ways (if daycare is an issue like in my case make a plan for when your kid is at school, start getting ready now)

thank you, Nashaly 💓🫂

thanks Lauren 🥺🫶🏾

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?

My 2 year old won’t eat nothing but snacks

Is this normal ? He won’t even try anything I eat .. he really only like pizza fries and spaghetti… nuggets and snacks bananas some other fruit but like anything else he won’t eat if try but I don’t want to force him I’m just I feel like bad I mean he isn’t losing weight I breastfeed mostly still

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?

People telling you your baby is hungry..

I know people don’t always mean it in a bad way and are trying to relate, but when people say my baby is hungry when chewing his hands. I feed him regularly. He eats pretty much every 2 hours. He isn’t hungry, he just loves chewing and exploring his hands. Or they say something about teething, which it is also not, as he isn’t unsettled with it. I have looked into it myself and can be common and neither of those things! He has done it most of the day since 2 months old.
