Rant

So I live at home with my mum and as much as the support and everything great sometimes it sees like am doing something wrong I was abit iffy about going out at weekend and leaving baby at home but that’s cause I only had her 25 days ago and am not ready to go out on my own without her but my mum thinks I don’t trust her and is mad at me for it because she sees it as I don’t trust her to watch my kid like she just doesn’t understand why so I feel like everything am doing is wrong 😭

Girl! Think of it this way, from the other point, the way you may have said it they may not of understood what you meant 🤷🏼‍♀️ me and my mum are the exact same! Terrible at understanding each others explanations lol! Just say to her I am nervous, not about you, but me and how I feel about it and if she gets defensive, tell her what you need from her e.g reassurance that you are making a good decision and that your weeny human will be fine! My mum had my baby after 2 weeks because I am a single mum and I needed to sleep from the stress and it was horrible, but I just told my mum what I needed and accepted that it’s okay to take a break from baby, it’s bloody hard!! You’ve got to bear in mind as well that it’s her first time being a nanny for you ☺️ so she’s working that out too 🩷 not saying your feelings are wrong at all because I’d be frustrated too, but when the airs cleared a little just take a breath and remember that both feelings are valid, and that it was probs a miscommunication x

Are family members entitled to your kids

I need to know if me and my husband are making the right decision for our family.

If you and your sibling have a history of really bad fights that turn verbally and mentally abusive, your sibling has disrespected your partner multiple times, are you going to talk about it, forgive and forget and still allow them in your child’s life or push them away because you won’t allow that behaviour around your child. And does them being family give them any right to having a relationship with your kids

Nursery fee’s (UK)

How much (may I ask) is everyone who pays for nursery actually paying.
As of April our fee’s have increased but I must admit I’m in shock and embarrassed if anything to admit we can’t afford the additional £65 a month it is costing us.

We currently pay £161 now, our son goes
8am-6pm Monday and Friday. As we both work obviously he goes term and none term time.

What do I do he’s in a “contract” technically with the nursery. It’s currently taking 3 days wages to afford the £161 we pay now. I understand we use the government top up pot but he’s only claiming 20 out of the funded hours and I don’t know what to do!

How do people make marriages work

I got married to my husband when I was 17 he was 19. Got married cause I got pregnant with my oldest. My husband wasn’t faithful to me and years later I wasn’t faithful to him. I tried ending the marriage. But he wanted to try to make it work out. Well I have been trying but everytime I turn around my mistakes that I have made he throws them in my face or he will make comments about how I I haven’t messaged any other guys and all this and that. I’m so over it. I love my husband and I wanted to make it work but I’m to the point to where I just want to crawl under a rock and just let go. I feel like I’m not wanted and I feel like I’m an even worse mother. I’m on medication for depression and axienty but I haven’t been taking it daily I only take it when I feel like I need it. I just don’t know where I fit in in my marriage I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I’m 27 I have 4 kids and I just feel like I’m alone.

Stupid comments made by husbands

Anybody elses husband or significant other just make comments without ever thinking? have total foot in mouth syndrome or is it just mine? For example my friend and I were talking on the phone about how her baby daddy cheated on her after I got off the phone my husband proceeds to tell me that now that he is a dad he understands why men with kids cheat but he does not condone it. thoughts?

Going out

Where are you taking baby out atm while they are still just a few weeks old?

What age will you start taking them out properly e.g. to coffee shops, classes, theme parks (for older sibling), play dates, farm etc?

Is this insanely overpriced? I posted on my local support group for parents of kids with disabilities asking about summer camps....

I got a message about a daycare that will be holding 3 different summer programs that run for 3 days in the last week of July for 450 dollars per child. 450 dollars for 3 days of "camp" seems like a rip off to me especially being for kids with disabilities???
