White flecks on teeth

I have noticed my toddler has a couple of white bits on her front teeth. Any ideas what this might be? For reference, I am 99 percent sure there is no ways it’s overuse of fluride and she tends to be quite happy to have her teeth brushed. She also doesn’t get any sugar yet, but does eat fruit (not in I sane quantities or anything). Got an appointment with the dentist, but I am worried

Would you be annoyed?

So I was just putting my pumps on and I look out my window and next doors kid is in my garden I’m assuming getting the ball back! Now in my opinion I would NEVER let my child let themselves into someone else’s garden! If you kick your ball into someone’s garden that’s your own fault, leave it there and they will throw it back when they realise! It wouldn’t annoy me as much but these children are FERAL and the parents never once tell them to quiet down(even if they are out at 9-10pm) they constantly bike on my drive because there is a hill which they have nearly been hit by cars MULTIPLE times because they have no road sense! It seems the parents just don’t care what they do if I’m honest.

I just wanted to know if people think it’s unreasonable of me to go round and ask them to not let their children in my garden or are we letting peoples children do as they please?(coming from someone who has never had neighbours before)

Clean home

Has anyone reached a point where they want to go to their husbands MUM for help about speaking to him about taking care of the home?! He litters the entire house and he huffs and puffs when I MAKE him clean up after himself, do the dishes or load/unload a wash. He argues I’m a stay at home mum but that is not the point the man is old and grown to recognise daily living tidiness and cleanliness. Does anyone even have any advice because he thinks maintaining the home is SOLELY my job as I’m stay at home. I’ve got my young children to clean up after themselves even the 6 yo washes his plate after eating. I feel like it’s creating this monster in me because I live with a feral man. I need advice because I swear to god I will look crazy for leaving a man because he doesn’t tidy up.

is this bad

i don’t really talk to my kids my kids are 4 2 and 1 i don’t even talk to them like often i don’t even know how i don’t know if part of it is that i have social anxiety no friends and introverted i just have nothing to say and idk what to talk to them about lol is that just me or something i notice when they go to my moms house she talks to them constantly and plays games with them like something out an episode of bluey😭i just don’t have it in me to do all that and i would never make anything like that up

Potty training

Hi! Can someone please suggest how did you potty train your little one. Currently, i bought the seat that goes on top of our toilet but little one doesn’t sit still on it and gets scared.

I’m just so confused about the whole process like do i also then need to keep him nappy free? How to avoid accidents? Or what are the potty training pull ups for etc?

My husband

This is going to be a little tmi with my husband but yesterday I layed my son down for a nap while my husband was in the with him because we have a one bedroom apartment and my son is 6 almost 7 months old. Well I was playing a game on TV after I heard him go to bed for maybe five-ish minutes, after those five-ish minutes I went to go double check on him double check that he was actually asleep and that my husband is not playing with him so he can actually sleep in his crib. I walk into the room door was already open checked on him. He was sleeping and facing towards the bed where my husband was, and then I turned and looked at my husband, and he was jerking off, usually if he does that and he says the truth about it, I’m not gonna be mad. I might be a little disappointed, but not mad well, he lies about it. I figured out that he was completely uncovered so if my son woke up, he would be watching his dad jerk off, and my husband didn’t realize why I was so pissed and so I walked out of the room so me and him can talk about it. He then proceeds to use the Alexa to say my name and to come back into the bedroom instead of getting his ass up getting changed and then coming to talk to me he used our Alexa device to call for me to go back into the bedroom. He then refused to talk to me until I talk to him first. I was so pissed off and I did not wanna start an argument in front of our son who’s currently sleeping so I messaged him to come to a different room so we can talk. He didn’t so I messaged him about why he’s always lying to me about that stuff his reasoning was because he was embarrassed, which I get however when I told him I was mostly pissed at him doing it in the same room as my son who’s sleeping and being completely uncovered and just doing it in the room with him in general he got mad at me for it and started talking about how after our son was born about how we’d get in intimate while my son was sleeping in our bed. But he said I was the person that initiated it. I was terrified of any intimacy after having my son. I was traumatized anything going near me down there, but apparently I’m the one who initialized it. When I said that’s not true he started yelling through the phone saying yes it is.

This brings me to another incident maybe less than a week ago I came back from a good day at work, played with my son for a bit, gave him a bath after that I went to go take a shower and a bath and before that I said hey to my husband, I asked him if he could do me a favor and make sure that my son actually went to bed and if he cries, go answer and double check that he’s OK because he probably would’ve hit his head on the bars of his crib like he has done on accident, and if he did that I possibly would want to have intimacy well after my bath I was thinking about stuff in about our marriage and how I don’t want to be in this anymore. I don’t really love him anymore not since I was pregnant with our son and after he was never a true dad and never helped me out postpartum, I was thinking I don’t want to do this with him anymore. He was already in bed waiting for me because we haven’t been intimate in about a month and I let him know that hey I was thinking about things and I don’t want to be intimate, especially not in the same room with our son because he can wake up anytime, my husband proceeds to yell at me and wake up our son and instead of putting our son back to bed. He made me do it because he’s never done it before and refuses to even try. I told him I’m gonna be in the living room so that we can have a conversation and not yell in the same room as our son who’s currently sleeping so I walk out of the room and he proceeds to yell more at me. He wakes up our son again refuses to put him back to bed so I have to do it. This goes on for about two more times. By the way the yelling at me all four of those times was because I didn’t wanna have sex or be intimate, and he was trying to find ways to force me to be intimate like he has done so many times in the past.

This is how it’s been for almost 2 years with him and I said to his face a few days ago that I do not love him at all, and I don’t want to be with him. He faked his emotion of being shocked, and I could 100% tell whenever he fakes an emotion, what was worse was that him shocked or anything like that he had no emotion for it. He didn’t give him crap in the world but every time that I tell him I want divorce he takes my son and hold him hostage for me at his grandmother‘s house and if I call the police department either the sheriffs office or the regular PD they’ll tell me that he’s able to do that because he’s the father and that I can go days without seeing my kid but if I did that that would be kidnapping and I would never see my son again.

No village , what do we do ?

My husband and I moved from Florida to Minnesota in Dec 2023. We had been trying for years for a LO and just left it to fate. If we were meant to have one , it’ll happen. Well it did , one year exactly after moving here. She’s 14 months now and the sunshine of our lives. The thing is we are alone here , we have our best friends but they are DINKS. So they aren’t too sure what to do or say to help us. What did you do ladies to build up a foundation ? It’s so hard breaking into these groups that have grown up together and making new friendships as an adult feels impossible. It has really made my husband pause and think should we actually try for a second baby? I would love another child , but he’s worried about us being here alone. I don’t want that fear to stop us from adding another best friend to our family. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. A picture of our sunshine ☀️
