Feeding issues

Anyone else have been struggling with feeding with their 12 month old? Mine refuses to eat solids, has refused to for months and doctors don’t seem concerned about it. I have an appointment in May with a feeding therapist but I feel like my baby is starving. Especially since not taking formula anymore. The doctors have said he can continue with formula if he’s still hungry but I don’t think it’s enough. Anyone go through something similar? What tips do feeding therapist give? I don’t want to wait until May anymore.

Just venting about an ignorant irresponsible husband!

I don’t know if it’s just me or if all husbands are like this, because my husband claims that all men are like him!

He doesn’t want to help with house chores, doesn’t do what’s asked of him, and only helps with the baby on his own terms and free time. Yet, whenever I get upset about something he does, he blames me for not asking for help. Honestly, I don’t even know if I want to ask for help anymore — it feels like such a mental load just to ask!

Usually, he’ll say things like, “Oh, I was about to iron my clothes,” or “I was about to eat,” or “I was about to sleep, I have an early day tomorrow.” You see where this goes…

Even when he does agree to help, he does things in a way that makes me want to just say, “Never mind, I’ll do it myself.” For example, if I ask him to sauté some veggies, he says, “Oh, we should try raw veggies sometime.” Or if I ask him to pass a fork, he says, “You should eat with your hands.”

At this point, I don’t even know if things will ever improve. Part of me feels like I might end up leaving, but I don’t want to take any extreme step right now because it would impact my baby.

Emotional cheating?

So my husband had a longtime friend that he had said he was in love with at a time before we met, but she played around with him as a jerk and he ended their friendship right before we met. This was a year and a half ago. He had blocked her on everything but still had her number, though they were never in contact with each other. He told me she was in the past and didn’t have those feelings anymore. Well I just saw on his phone, about a month ago, he had sent her a random text of “asdf” as if he was checking to see if the messages still delivered. How should I feel about this?
