Am I wrong for feeling upset ?

I feel like my husband took a low blow.
Backstory I didn’t get my license until last year before I turned 25 (ik crazy af but my parents and him thought I didn’t need it) anyways I just got my own car in February. I’m still getting used to driving with my four kids by myself in a town we just moved to in December. I have diabetes and sometimes my blood sugars drop when im anxious.

We were listening to miss independent I was joking by saying I was independent. He looked at like you got to be kidding me. He looks at me says “ you definitely are not independent when you can’t even take all four kids with you to a Drs appt” I look at him like he has 6 heads I wanted to say he was stupid af for wanting me to take four kids with me to an appt that was urgent with one of our kids.

I’m sorry but that was extremely rude and honestly mean… he knows you have health issues and get anxious easily..plus it’s really hard to have any kids / babies in the car while driving! And the fact he assumed you would take all four with you?! That’s a lot on one mama! I know you could do it cause you already proved you got the license, the car…etc don’t let his discouragement get to you!! You are doing amazing with these first steps!! I did t get my license til I was 25 either and I’m only 30 and hate driving ( we live in a huge city ) … I’ll drive across the street to dollar tree and to places if I absolutely have too lol … it can definitely be nerve racking to drive let alone adding kids to the mix so please babes don’t get upset at his side remarks!!! You’re doing great

I would tell him to politely eat 💩. Sounds like he's trying to control you in a way and seems irritated you're gaining independence now. I tried moving away from my family and I realized I needed my family more than my boyfriends so I can have my support for my and my kids. Good luck to you mama 🤍

20 month old tantrums are killing me off...

I've done something I very rarely do and dropped my toddler off at my mum's for an hour to go and have a coffee alone. Sleep regression and teething and my periods due is turning me into a pressure cooker of anger atm. It's at the point where we're having 5+ tantrums before breakfast nowadays. One because he doesn't want his morning nappy changed and dressed for the day. Then he doesn't want daddy to go for a shower, he wants him to read books with him. Then because he wants to go downstairs while I'm trying to get dressed and quickly do my hair...then because I wouldn't let him watch teletubbies...then because I said he can't go outside into the wet garden with no jumper or shoes and socks...😭😭
I am... exhausted....
I use half an hour of teletubbies most mornings to allow myself peace to get the cleaning up and prep for the day done but I think I'll have to just say no TV at all anymore because of his behaviour over it. When does it get a tiny bit easier or have I just got an angry little boy....

Overwhelmed

At this point I feel like a single parent. My significant other helps very little. I’m the one who clothes her, change her diaper, feeds her, puts her to bed…he complains he works 10 hours a day to support us and I understand that but I’m screaming for freaking help sometimes. I’m 18 weeks pregnant with our second baby and I handle our daughter 24/7 while he gets to sleep, play his game and go freaking smoke MJ. I feel so stressed, overwhelmed, overstimulated and exhausted. Am I a horrible person to ask for a little help from him??? He makes me feel horrible for even asking him for help or to even watch her for 20 minutes so I can get a damn shower…..I’m so so freaking lost and tired….i feel like nothing is going to change when I have our next baby in August…..

Dentist Question

I have a white filling in my front tooth that broke this morning - it's very obvious, looks terrible and I'm devastated.

It's very sharp where it's broken and feels sensitive but not painful. I phoned my dentist and I've managed to get an urgent appointment with them for 10:45 tomorrow morning.

I'm really hoping they'll be able to replace it for me, but am worried they'll refuse to do anything because I'm 8 months pregnant. Has anyone else had anything happen, or have any kind of experience that might inform on what they'll likely do tomorrow? I know it probably sounds really superficial, but this is such an insecurity for me and I don't want to look like this for long 😭

Rant sons dad

Hey ladies,

So I separated from my LB dad around 6 months ago.

Since our LB was born it was the beginning of the end for us. I tried so hard for 18 months to make it work, but I realised I was the only person trying.

There is a million reasons I ended the relationship but the main ones been he massively let me down during my postnatal depression, lack of empathy and understanding, never felt heard, selfish and honestly a man child.

Since we separated he sees his son every Sunday 10-4 at his mums. Its his mum that looks after him. His mum has even told me she doesn't trust him alone with him, as he struggles to focus on more than one thing.

It is clear my son dad has additional needs (autism) and I think this makes it harder for him to be a dad. It is clear he really struggles with this but what gets me more is he doesn't try.

Whenever I try and communicate about our son he makes it about our relationship. I know he loves our son, but honestly his lack of actions does not show this.

Every couple of months, he also brings up the relationship agsin and its honestly all just draining.

All I want is for him to step up for his son and be a dad, and I feel like im banging my head against a brick wall.

Suggestions or advice appreciated
