Venting

My mil is currently living with us for the second time….she sits and does nothing all day on her phone tablet etc. It’s aggravating to constantly hear her under her breathe say things in my house! Like wtf!?! Or the fact that she’s still young enough to work but chooses not to exact reason why she’s in my house. Wants to be paid for taking care of my kids.(while not watching them at all) She left my one year old on the couch not too long ago and walked away. Claimed he got on all by himself which he can’t so that was BS. She will try to clean up after my kids when I don’t want my kids raised that way they’re to put their plates in the sink and trash well in the trash. Even after I tell her don’t touch their plates. She’s like I will leave only their plate bc it has food on it and I have to repeat myself again like if she didn’t hear me the first damn time. Ughh idk why my mil has to be a free loader. That’s not even all of it

Is anyones husband/ partner actually stepping up post baby?

On Instagram your seeing all these post about husbands doing all the cooking, cleaning, food shop and looking after the other kids and allowing you to sleep, rest and focus on caring for the new baby..

Is this even possible. My husband helps but im still doing everything like usual. Im cooking all our meals, mowed the garden yesterday, hoover daily wash and hang the clothes outside. He is making our toddlers packed lunch for nursery and does the food shop but other than that everything is our usual. I havent had this waited on hand and food situation I see on socials 🤣😅😬

Boring.

Having to ask permission from my partner to go have a bath on a Sunday is insane. Yet he walks out the house when he likes to go smoke or plays on his laptop when he likes without a care in the world.

Told him to put the baby on the playmat so he can kick around his answer well all he does is cry and I hate the sound of him crying. It’s consuming…

Bear in mind football is on at 4:30pm and I’m gonna have to cook dinner and do bedtime routine.

Sorry just need a rant.

Would you be annoyed?

So both me and my husband had our friends round last night for a few drinks, I’ve been feeling unwell for a few days but just powered on like I do everytime I feel a bit rough.

Today I’ve woken up really unwell high fever, being sick, hot and cold shivers and a swollen throat. I was up with my son 2.5 years old from 6am and I let my husband lie in he came out around 930am and I then took myself back to bed as I’m crying feeling so unwell. All I can hear is him saying to my son go find mummy I’ve just looked in the room and he’s lying on the sofa falling asleep whilst my son sits with him just watching tv. I know my son is going to be a nightmare later as he’s not bothered to give my son a nap. But he’s just lying there either on his phone or closing his eyes.

I feel so unwell I haven’t got it in me to go in and just take my son and sort everything myself. When my husband is unwell I make sure I do everything and give him a break. He goes off to play golf every weekend for around 8 hours I’m always with my son and I don’t get a break . I do everything with my son but he makes out he’s amazing and does so much with him. I think he’s only ever taken him out on his own twice in his life I’m always there to organise and do everything

Advice on my situation 😩

I’m really struggling what to do I need advice or someone to talk to it’s killing me.

Couple months ago my baby dad went out he said he wouldn’t be back late and I told him not to do drugs as I don’t like it and we have a family anyway he didn’t come home till the next day as he was going drugs till silly o’clock in the morning. I had a discussion with him about it saying it upsets me etc saying sorry I won’t do it aged then another couple he did the exact same thing again

On Friday night he went out for a couple hours then came home at 12 in the morning on drugs yet again and somehow it’s all my fault it’s me doing wrong he doesn’t see the wrong in his actions and that he’s hurting me doing it.

Am I over reacting or have I a right ?

He doesn’t help me with our baby at all
Yesterday he spent all day in bed didn’t come see our daughter never mind me .

I put my all into been a mum don’t get help and just get walked all over I don’t know how much I can take i rlly love him and I don’t want a broken family but he’s hurting me doing this all the time l.

His doing but I’m gonna have to be the one who says sorry and try sort it out

😩😩

SAHM problems

I’m a complete laugh. I don’t know what to do. I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with our second child. It’s been difficult for me to cook and look at food so we’ve been eating out quite a bit tonight. My fiancé felt the need to say I’m always asking for something and I expressed him. What do you mean he said food outside food he said this is a luxury in so many words and I’m ungrateful. He feels that being a SAHM is a job in so many ways . I constantly have to ask for things such as household items things for our daughter. I don’t get my hair done or my nails or feet . At this point I feel so uncomfortable asking for anything. And to add he said I could get a job . Idk what to do.

5 year old playing Teen Games

I am confused as to how there are so many parents letting there little ones play games rated for kids twice their age. Does it not concern you how this will affect your kiddo long term? What is it doing to their development?
