Why can’t you go for walks? Bad neighbor or something? 😞 that’s my salvation. (I don’t drive or have a village/help. But I also only have a 15mth old.)

I find this always helps me think/ground a little to ask yourself “What would help look to me?”
Talking/typing it out, helps me understand why I’m overwhelmed, usually I’ve calmed down after I do said excise, then also know what I need help with and can communicate it. Or at least compartmentalize what I need to do next.

If babies are change; in a safe space and fed, take a minute. Even just to breathe.

Why does your husband not help at all? Like does he refuse like a gender roles thing? Or?

I’m sorry hun 😞. But you do deserve help and understanding. So you don’t feel this way about this season.

Stop asking for breaks. Claim them as a birthright and TAKE THEM.

🫂🫂 hugs to you. Have you tried communicating with your husband that you would like more support when it comes to your me time and the babies. I used to be in that predicament until I realized my self care is detrimental and much needed. Maybe invest in a wagon for the 4 year old and to carry around things for a walk and a baby waist carrier for the 3 month old. Schedule more dates between you and your hubby as well.

I might be a bad guy for saying this but this is why preparation is SOOOO important while you’re in early pregnancy. It seems like your family was just completely unprepared to have a second baby. Id lose my mind with no car, no stroller, and a 2 bed with 2 babies. Having a-double stroller would make a huge difference and you can find them used on Facebook marketplace for cheap. you gotta lay the hammer down with your man!! My man is blue collar so he’s gone 12 hours a day, I completely understand how frustrating it is but the babies are here! So we need to tough it out for them. Tell these things to your husband for sure. If he’s gone all the time because he’s putting food on the table I get it, but your mental health is off the upmost importance. If you’re not good, the whole house is not good. Demand that second car and stroller girl, you don’t need to suffer!!

I feel your pain I have a 3 year old and a 1 month baby, and my husband truck broke right before the baby came so he’s been having my car and the stroller is in the car so I’m stuck in the house, however I have a couple days planned to go out and that gives me something to look forward to, tell him you want to use the car and just go out for a second

NEED TO RANT

My husband and I have recently come abroad with our baby to meet his parents and family. We have been here 1 day and he has gone out drinking with his friends. I wouldn’t mind usually except he came home at 8:30pm drunk looking for a bottle of alcohol. His mum enables him and they were opening every cupboard imaginable and making so much noise that he woke our baby up. Our baby who hasn’t slept today due to the amount of visitors we have had. He then got his drink and left again. He left the room in such a mess as well. He didn’t even apologise for waking our child up showing he doesn’t care at all.


I’m fed up because we have come to see his family and introduce our baby. I don’t speak the language either so there’s a barrier. Most of them are telling me what to do (using arm gestures etc so we understand each other) and I’m lonely. It’s not a break or holiday for me. I enjoy myself more at home. I know while I’m here I’ll just be stuck inside at home every day and that isn’t what I want for me and my baby.

I feel like I want out of my marriage. Am I wrong with how I feel? x

Son having pain

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone's son has experienced testicle/penis pain as a toddler? My 2 year old son has been commenting on his penis hurting at night but he hasn't seemed like he was in pain so I wondered if it was just discomfort with his diaper because he's showing signs of readiness for potty training.
The last day he has been showing signs that he's in pain and saying it hurts under his penis (assuming his testicles).
Wondering if I should take him in or if this is normal? My older son has never had any pain complaints but I know every child is different so it may be normal for some kids?
He's not circumcized if that matters and he's not having any other symptoms other than the pain

Am I wrong

So I am a 38 year old female with 3 kids and one being autistic. My two youngest’s dad says he wants more kids with me. I told him no I don’t want anymore kids. I had so much complications with my last son had to have an emergency c section. I am still having so much pain and still have pain from the c-section after 6 years they sued up a piece of my uterus wall when they were closing me back up. So now he’s mad at me because I said no I don’t want anymore kids. Like am I tripping cause I’m standing ten toes down on not having anymore kids .

Just over it..

Seems like alot of women go through the same thing it's basically normalised..I'm so tired of complaining about this or even trying to get through to my partner. Basically the constant work load of the home.. the mess the clutter the picking up after everyone else I just dont know what to do anymore or what to think.. I'm not working so that's what I tell myself to keep me sane.. it's not that serious coz he's working and tired. But it's so much deeper than that, just because he works should I have to pick up after him like ine of my kids.. its not changing I've voiced this again and again and I'm done. At the end of the day it really is affecting mental health because I feel I can't keep up and therefore like a failure. Sorry for the rant, any advice? X
