Wisdom Tooth Removal

Hello ladies! My teeth are perfectly fine, I have no pain, and eat without problems. Since I was 16 years old every single time I go to dentist office they fiercely push removing my wisdom teeth. I am 28 now, the dentist scheduled it for me and is really pushing me to get it done. I haven’t really seen the need for it, but am I wrong? Can you please share your experience on removing them or choosing not to? What are the Pros and Cons?

What would you have done…?

Grandparents asked to take our daughter out for the day. She did not want to go (she’s 5) and has been saying since last night she didn’t want to go out on her own with them and couldn’t we all go.

So told my husband this and he said “she will change her mind when they are here” 🙄

They arrive and she says still, she absolutely does not want to go out and wants to stay with mummy and daddy.

I let her stay home = very angry grandparents.

Would you have made your child go?

Inlaws/frosting

I don't know if I'm too emotional or what but my baby is 2 months old & my step FIL decided to give my girl a tiny finger of frosting. Knowing he wasn't supposed to be because he looked around the room seeing if anyone seen. I don't want people giving her anything she's not supposed to & i also feel like he just took that moment from me & dad. Am I wrong? I can't talk about it anywhere else & its been on my mind all night long because I'm so upset. & I'm not allowed to be.

Am I being tested? Wwyd?

- Partner says he's going for a quick bath
- Turns on the emersion as there's no hot water after his teenage son had one
- 2 hours later I ask him for support to make dinner
- he hasn't taken his bath yet so he says he'll have one and then make it for us
- another 2 hours go by before he comes down and decides to take our toddler for a walk. One which was completely random and out of routine.
- Finally he comes home and makes dinner

I'm absolutely starving - 6 months pregnant by the way. I'm avoiding conflict with him as he's trying to give up smokes right now, and I don't want our conflict being his reason for regressing and slipping back to his addiction

Why am I always so angry/stressed?!

Mum of a 2 and almost 1 year old boys. I just feel so angry/stressed/upset all the time recently. I don't enjoy my life at the moment. I take it out on the boys and my partner then regret it (but never say this to my partner) I'm worried I am losing him away but I can't stop these feelings. Anyone else feel/felt the same? I feel as though I'm drowning sometimes and there's no way out of it!

Unacceptable comments

Feeling very frustrated and angry at my partners comments. For context, we both work full time but I do 100% of the cooking and taking care of the household. He only helps assist with school pickups on the days I’m in the office. I ensure ALL of his food is prepped throughout the week which involves lots of batch cooking and I also cook fresh meals for dinner on the days I’m working at home. Keeping in mind he has never cooked for me or even heated up pre cooked food in the fridge for me, I come home from working in the office and there will be stacks of dishes even if he’s been at home on his day off.

This morning I have had terrible period cramps and he saw me multiple times rocking back and forth and in different positions trying to calm my cramps. It’s Sunday and usually he’d be working but he has the day off. We have come home from being out with the kids and he has asked me why I haven’t thought to cook for him.

I grew up in a home where Sunday dinners were cooked fresh and you spend time as a family, but he’s always working Sundays, only eats meal prep on that day and also he does not like me to cook when he is home. So today is no different, I have already pre cooked pasta bake, chicken, rice and potatoes and burgers in the fridge so there is plenty for the kids and him to eat.

He just told me that this is the reason why men (specifically referred to the man that his mother is dating who has a wife that he is cheating on but dating his mum for the benefits of her cooking and taking care of him). He referred to this man and said this is why men cheat, because the woman at home can’t be bothered but there’s other women out there that will do so much for them.

I am FURIOUS. I get no compassion when I have cramps and still expected to do everything. He doesn’t ever cook for me. It’s always what I should be doing for him!

Struggling mentally with TTC

I currently have a 5 year old and we finally decided this past November that we would like to expand our family. I never could have imagined how mentally difficult TTC is. We conceived our son accidentally, so we’ve never been through this before. My husband is absolutely fine with everything. Meanwhile I’m finding this one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through. We have been apart about 2 months that we’ve tried and also didn’t time it well on other months as I was still trying to learn my cycle, so I guess we’ve had 2 cycles now where everything has been “right” . It’s hard to wrap my head around doing this no birth control or protection and it just doesn’t work . But I feel like I’ve already seen so many negative pregnancy tests and it just feels so cruel. I would like to give my son a sibling so badly and it’s so hard when he is always telling me how much he wants one too. I just feel like I’m letting him down. Anyway I just had to vent and see if anyone else can relate or offer me any reassurance (please be kind as already I feel so vulnerable and upset).
