8 month old cry alllll the time?

I keep thinking I’m doing something wrong..

My baby has always been a crier, car seat, pram seat, nappy changes, outfit changes, nap times etc.. first 6 months we put it down to reflux, I had a lot of advice from HV/ GP as I was really struggling.

He’s improved with his reflux but I think now we are in a constant state of teething.. (he has 6 teeth now) or am I just making an excuse for his constant crying?

I can’t go on pram walks, I can’t go on drives, I have to constantly hold him/ entertain him for him to stop crying. I feel like there can’t be something up with him because the moment I hold him or entertain him he’s so happy and giggles/ babbles!

I’m just wondering if anyone is going through something similar?

Yes! That was my baby girl. I just got a really good baby wearer and wore that baby around. She eventually learned to tolerate those things with constant exposure and now at 8 months can play independently for a good amount of time and can take pram walks. It’s only a phase. Hang in there mama

I have had the opposite but now similar. My baby was a dream for the first 6-7 months, slept well, slept ANYWHERE, when he was able to sit up he would play independently for up to almost an hour at a time whilst I was in the room/grabbing a brew etc

But then we hit 7.5 months (8m today) and honestly he is a different baby. Crying, fussy, grizzly, hysterically cries the moment we walk out the room, hardly smiles at me but smiles at everyone else/his dad. I genuinely feel like he hates me but I know it’s just a phase but GOD it’s tough!! Honestly I’m so worn out because if I’m not entertaining him he’s draining me by crying 🥲 rolling with the punches!

Yep, I was thinking about this the other day, like I swear my girl spends more of her time unhappy than anything else. She moans at the slightest inconvenience, doesn’t play for long independently, moans and cries if I eat around her because she wants some, hates the pushchair because she wants to be out. I think we’re at peak frustration with her atm, she’s desperate to crawl but not quite there yet. I also think she’s just a sensitive soul, some babies are and some aren’t. It’s bloody hard work though

I HAVE to sit on the floor whilst she plays or she gets upset. She wants me close by all the time which is lovely but then if I’m near she won’t play because she wants to be stood up, I can’t win 🙃

My baby HATED the carseat. Cried really bad. At around his 6month birthday we went on a roadtrip. Its much better now but he still have his moments

Fed UP

I just feel so fucking agitated at the moment. I have 2 under 2 and one of them is autistic. So we have daily meltdowns etc. I'm up at 6am every day and don't sit down till maybe 10pm. I'm doing absolutely everything for them & the only break I get is going to the gym but I'm out for an hour max. As soon as I'm home I'm straight back at it, I don't even have time to shower.

My partners great but I don't think he has any fucking idea just how hard it is being with 2 small kids every minute of the day, managing appointments & the house. I'm starting to resent him. I'm snappy & miserable.

I resent my dog. He stinks & keeps malting everywhere. He's old so keeps shitting in the house.

The kids have kicked off for me all morning, yet as soon as he's here its calm & I look dramatic.

I'm not enjoying being a mum cos I can't cope with the constant stress. I've got adhd and autism so I'm overstimulated very quickly.

I've had ENOUGH.

I need advice!!

So, my boyfriend and I have a son together.and usually he doesn’t mind buying him things he needs like diapers and wipes etc…but recently he won’t get him anything that he needs. So when my son runs out we end up in an argument and he gets upset that he has to leave at 3 in the morning to get whatever it is my son needs when I told him days before he was almost out. I would get them myself but he doesn’t let me work because “he wants to take care of his family”. What should I do or say?

Thongs / Sexy undies to work?

My husband has an issue with me wearing sexy undies to work. Yesterday, I wore a thong for the first time in years because I'm just tired of my panty line showing 🙃 and oh my gosh he was very unhappy. He says that if he's not happy about it then I wouldn't do it. I should wear it at home. He says things like " men can tell I'm wearing a thong. " I don't respect him because I wear it to work, and he does not like etc. I just can't believe that it bothers him so much. I told him if I feel the need to wear it outside the house I will. It's not every time I want my panty line showing. I literally have less than 4 thongs, and only one Yesterday in years. No one sees under my clothes, so what's the issue. Please give me some advice on this? Who's wrong in this situation?

Toddlers nursery - am I overreacting?

My toddler is strong willed. He knows what he wants and how he wants it.

Not all communication styles work with a strong willed child.

Any who, about 60 percent of the time when I pick him up from nursery they complain about his behaviour and him not listening. He is fricken 2 and half years old!

Before nursery he never had behavioural issues.

Any who I worry now they are putting this constant though in his mind that he is a bad kid.

He would say things like I'm not going to be a godo boy. Etc.

I got into an argument with my partner about reducing the days. Or even changing the nursery in general.

Am I over reacting?

What would you recommend?

I just remember being younger at schools and teachers constantly shouting or telling off the same kid. Putting this perception in there head that they are naughty, less than. I worry that this can be causing damage. Am I over reacting?

I wanna know why are men so damn h*rny ?! 🤬

Im so frustrated because it seems like all my fiance can do is grab at my body and try to f*ck 24/7 like can they ever talk about anything else?! Its making me not want to be around him anymore.
