Irritated

Am I the only mom who gets irritated slightly when their partner leaves them with the baby? It’s like dang having that freedom to just get up and go whenever you want must be nice. And my partner doesn’t leave the house often so I understand his need to get out I need to get out too but he doesn’t have to worry about the baby or the weather or anything else when he wants to get out. I have to consider so much just to even go outside I’m kinda jealous not gonna lie but I don’t want to get upset at him either everytime he leaves. Anybody else deal with this?

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?

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

Is it normal or common for 10 year olds to engage in sexual activities?

I just read this in a comment section and I’m flabbergasted. Is this a common thing?

Anxiety over leaving child.

How do you feel about leaving your kids with family members?
I only trust 2 people… my partner & my MIL as they are both on my wavelength.

I love my mum but she’s so lax 🙈 she’s not really on the ball and often sits on her phone instead of supervising my 4yo which upsets me a bit. He’s had a few little accidents or situations where he’s “ran” off etc when she’s been out and about with him..

She’s always asking to have him over for a sleepover but it makes me anxious. I know I need time without my child. Am I overreacting?
I just want to know he’s safe and being looked after all the time as it’s a big thing for me to leave him 😞

Spitting out food

I’m soo upset and frustrated… my 14 Month old doesn’t eat anymore. All she does is keep the food in her mouth and then spit it out, like every day since she became 14 months old.
I’m really exhausted now, I cook & it gets wasted, I buy those baby pouches & it still gets wasted.

I’m now really worried she’s not getting the nutrients she’s supposed to get.

Please is there anyone going through this as well? Or anyone for any advice that can help?

#AVeryTiredMama 🥲

Feels like worst mum ever!

Feel so guilty 🥹 today has been a busy but normal Sunday, food shop, de clutter mode kicked in so took it while it was there as I normal procrastinate, here there and everywhere out an about today son didn’t get chance to have his usual morning nap, in an out of car in shops, but he slept for maybe 20 mins on drive home around 11am usually he does a 1-5 to 2 hours. But once we was home he was awake and chatting didn’t seem tired ect, fast forward to this evening, I’m exhausted we just finished dinner, he’s in his high chairs finishing his with his tv show on me and my husband doom scro on TikTok waiting for him, maybe 10 mins went by I look up and he’s asleep in his high chair, still holding abit of pasta 🥹 he didn’t make a noise, didn’t fuss to get down, didn’t say Bed dada ( we both dada atm) and normal I BF him to sleep still, I feel lost now, I managed to change his bum, clothes, into his sleep suit and into his cot with not a ster from him, I feel so horrible now that he was that tired and I didn’t note that he just crashed in his chair! Also double sad no feeling to sleep and cuddles! I thought I was ready to wean off night time boobie but maybe I’m not 🥹 I feel so bad for tonight tho!! So stupid we just sitting on our phones and didn’t even realise he fell sleep 🤦🏻‍♀️
