Just a rant!

My BD is doing my absolute head in at the minute. He goes on tangents about how we should only talk about the kids; that’s fair enough, happy with that. But every now and then he’ll start making conversation or he’ll ask me really absurd questions and for some reason it just gets me so angry, like today for example he messaged to ask me if it was ok to show his nan, our children’s great Nan if he can show her pictures of our children. There’s no safety reason to be asking this otherwise I’d understand. I don’t know why but it’s really annoyed me like why would he even need to ask if he can show his own family; our children’s family pictures of them? It just seemed so pointless and it’s really annoyed me. I don’t even know why which makes it even more annoying.

He's looking for reasons to talk to you, so establish the boundary. Ignore everything not child or coparenting related and he'll get the picture

the thing I don’t get though is he’s seeing someone so I don’t know why he’d be finding reasons to talk to me but it’s irritating me whatever the reason is 😂 wish I could just block him

Are you not together?
Could be that he cares how you would feel about sharing photos of your kids.

How would you feel towards them???

If you had been arranging a surprise party for over a year, meaning these people had a year in advance to plan time off or literally anything else, only for them to cancel one by one the same day you confirmed they’re available, how would you feel towards them?! Two are saying they used the time off for various family members emergencies. One doesnt know if they can, because heaven forbid they actually write one weekend off for a friend of a lifetime, over his girlfriend of three years. Another is apparently changing jobs and can’t take time off(yeah because you definitely cant ask when starting a job for time off🙄(I’ve personally done this and never had an issue)). And his very best friend? Apparently having heart issues out of no where at 28 years old, and what would you know, the only day they can do his echo is literally his best friends birthday… *(Keep in mind, we have a child who has had OHS ourselves. We aren’t strangers to heart issues). Would you want to find out you possibly have a heart issue on your best friends bday out of any day of the year? Not only that but its a milestone. He turns 30. Most of them do this year too. It was supposed to be one last weekend hurrah but instead they all decided to flake at literally the last possible minute. I genuinely hate these guys. Ive known them since HS. I figured they would at least show up. Nope. I tried. I did. I tried… Because of them all the plans are ruined.

Potty training a boy

I’ve started potty training he’s peed multiple times and pooped once. And seems to know when I put him on the potty he should pee because he tries to every time. But the issue I’m having is him knowing when he has to and letting me know. Sometimes he will with poop but it’s usually while he’s actually popping. I don’t know what to do to get him to realize he has to go. Appreciate any advice or tips!😊

Starting solids opinions

Is anyone else struggling with the amount of comments and getting told what we should do for starting solids? my baby is 5 months and iv been getting told to feed him at 4 months. Everytime people visit now it’s “have you fed him yet” or “he needs food” I honestly think i’m going to stop visitors for a whole months

Is he in the wrong here or am I?

My partner of 4 years is not the father of my 3 children I have to my ex husband, my ex and I had a bad break up, things took a sudden nasty turn after a long rime together, dv, courts injunction but things u turned and he has a timetable with the kids now. He sees them every other weekend for just the day and some half terms but not too much really. He pays maintenance and he has for 4 years even when he couldnt see them. He called n said his changing jobs and he needs to pay 250 less this month and then for the next few weeks he will pay weekly instead of monthly and add some extra on so the 250 less will get paid back. My partner said if he cant pay he cant have them.. if he cant afford to pay this week properly he cant afford to havr the kids next week in half term. He asked for a Monday til friday with them, he wants to take them the cinema and trampoline park and to see family. I said child maintenance and his quality time with the kids are two seperate things just as what happened between me and him is seperate to how he is a father am I wrong ? Is he wrong ? What would you do ?

When you’re having a chronic pain flare up and your husband refuses to adjust their energy and tries to interact with you the same way.

I’m going to lose my mind I woke up this morning at like a 7/10 pain scale and my husband flips all the lights on, plays music, is super chatty, and then gets offended when I’m like this is not me today I need to be quiet and be still and rest. Drives me nuts
