Problems with hubby

My husband just completely distanced himself from me. He said he cannot pretend anymore and he thinks it might be better for us to split up. Doesn’t seem like he is talking to someone. But idk for sure. I asked him to sit down and talk and he just won’t talk to me won’t look at me. Completely different from whom I knew before we had a baby. Is it just us? Or anyone else has problems too.

Having major problems right now, you’re not alone. Our communication is way off and we can barely have a conversation without disagreeing about something. I don’t want to be touched and we haven’t had sex in 7ish months. Maybe twice while I was pregnant.

Hard to say. But I had major problems with hubby after each child. Might be he doesn't understand your hormones and changes. Or he is unable to process these changes.

Marriage & postpartum is hard, I’ve had rough times with my hubby and most couples do after having kids. Get in therapy , get around other married couples with kids and try to work through things but definitely wouldn’t separate in this season of life because it’s most likely transitional pains.

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

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.

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?

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?
