Tired and exhausted

I’m 25
He’s 21

So my SO comes home everyday and ASKS what needs to be done around the house or asks if I need help with our one year old. Of course I’m going to tell him no but then he gets mad at me bc nothing gets done when he thinks it should be. He has walked passed an overloaded hamper of CLEAN clothes since last night and still wasn’t to ask what needs to be done. There’s dishes that need to be put up and washed even tho I’ve been doing it all week along with cooking dinner. I’m a SAHM and he pushes me to get a job but my son is still on the boob and I don’t respond as well as I used to with my momcozy pumps. He does work buy half the days after work he goes to the gym. I dont NEED help and I dont mind if he asks but he’s grown and should be able to see if things need done no? I make his lunch I make his plate for dinner I wash his clothes I clean as much as I can with a 1 year old running around (yes RUNNING) but nothing I do seems to accommodate or please him. Atleast that’s how I feel about it.

Mine says he sees that things need to be done but that he doesn’t try anymore bc in the past I’ve been picky about how things get done. Which is true. Unfortunately this was a pretty established thing by the time our LO was born, and now I would give anything for the clothes to just be put away, or washed, however it gets done. That’s on me tho.

But, and I hate to tell you this…guys don’t grow up until they’re in their 30s. If ever. So that’s part of it too.

Toddler mean to his grandma. Help 😟

My son is almost 3. He is a very intelligent, sweet and sensitive boy 🧡 but he is also very stubborn and head strong. He is quite mean to my mum and it really gets me down. I can’t understand why. She is like a third parent to him. Literally does SO MUCH for him and for us overall. He just doesn’t show her love like he does with his other 2 grandparents and it breaks my heart. He keeps answering back at her, doesn’t show excitement when seeing her and rarely initiates a cuddle or a kiss. Does he just not like her? It’s sad because she’s besotted by him. I don’t think she’s ever loved anyone like she loves him 💔. Any advice? 😥 Xx

Just venting

I’m just venting. I got married on the 31 of December 2025. I only did it because I wanted my child to have a two parent house hold. The problem I’m having is I don’t trust my partner. He’s a composer cheater in my eyes. He believe that all men cheat. And all women do is cheat but hid it well. It’s just temptation. It just makes me sad because at one point I really did love him. But I felt like I should had left when he cheated the first time,when I told him I was pregnant. I haven’t left yet hoping he will change. As a 30 year old man that still has a child mindset. It’s so much more. I’m just tired. Positive note, Happy 2 months to my little love!!!

Would you tell your kids they aren’t allowed to play certain sports?

Please explain in the comments.

I think my partners boundaries are too strict…

My partner has a difficult relationship with his family, I think his parents are lovely people but I can see where he gets frustrated with them. They are far from perfect but I think they mean well.

His older brother still lives at home and unfortunately has a habit of using weed and coke. He’ll smoke outside but do coke in his room and obviously drugs are kept there too.

The parents know this but have not tried to help him or get the drugs out the house. The brother has no intention of moving out either.

Because of this, my partner feels strongly that our child should never enter that house. The child would never be in the same room as the drugs but my partner feels that on principle, we should never take the baby there.

While I do not agree with his brother’s habit and the safety of my baby is the most important thing, I think he may be being too harsh.

I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving there baby there without one of us but surely never going over is a bit far. I’m worried it would ruin the relationship between our families.

Of course his parents would be welcome at our house so it’s not like access is being denied, just not in their home.

Is my partner being too harsh or am I not concerned enough?

I think my partner is just using the baby not coming over as a threat to get his parents to do something about the drugs.

Eating

I am really concerned now. My 10.5 month old only eats banana. Maybe a bit of toast.

I asked the HV and she was concerned too and asked me to inform my paediatrician.

Has anyone else had intervention from Paeds? Has anyone had a child like this 🙈
