I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.
We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.
I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.
I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?
It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?
He thinks it was fine that he said that.

I suppose it depends on the Tone In your voice if it came across judgy when you said it?
But if it was just conversational and you were literally just saying you’re opinion then he’s just being over sensitive

I mean if he’s the one paying for it, that’s one thing. Since you’re paying for it, what you want is important and you’re allowed to voice that. *edit to add, you should always feel like what you want is important too. Just in this case you’re paying for it so it’s kind of completely up to you.

He definitely should have been more polite about it but what else was he supposed to do other than step aside and let you pick, it was clearly important to you

Maybe your husband feels the same way about his opinion if every piece of wood he picked out you didn’t like(I understand it was only 2 pieces but still), maybe this happens often and you guys just need to talk about it. Ask him why he reacted that way and tell him how it made you feel without calling him rude. I definitely don’t think you’re wrong btw but maybe he has a different pov that makes him not wrong too 🤷🏾♀️ communicate ! Work it out ! What do you gain from being “right” anyway

It might have been the tone of your voice even if you think you didn’t sound mean or judgy some people are like that me included with how bad my anxiety is sometimes depending on the persons voice or how they say it I sometimes think I might have upset them or made them mad and instantly I start apologizing lol

I agree. I think it depends on the tone you used when you made this comments.

Is he always hyper sensitive to criticism?
I don’t feel like I’m a good mum, I cannot stand my child clinging onto me/screaming I literally want to smack my head against a wall every time she makes that screeching noise I am seriously exhausted and I have no help whatsoever.

No hate for having a sleepy baby please my first was an awful sleeper so I know how triggering these posts can be 😂… but
My 2 week old slept for almost 6hours last night and we woke him even though he seemed pretty tired and would have slept longer. He’s been a sleepy baby since birth but feeds a lot throughout the day and has surpassed his birth weight but my husband woke me last night to say we need to wake the baby to feed. I said I’d get up and pump and let the baby sleep but he said we shouldn’t let him go over 6 hours without a feed….
Should we wake him? Thoughts below please :)

I’m expecting in a few months time and want to breast feed (breast and bottle feed). What bottles do you recommend? I formula fed my first daughter and used Dr brown bottles (hated Tommee Tippee and MAM due to tongue tie issues). Is Philips Avent good or Lansinoh? Thank you ☺️
