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

Two options
1- go out and ask for lots of pictures and come back soon.
2- remind your mom you have postpartum hormones and it's not about her but your own emotions

I didn’t live my first baby until she was like 5 months and even then it was with her dad for 1 hr! I took her everywhere with me, where I couldn’t take her I didn’t go. It’s a very normal feeling to want to be close to your baby. Maybe have a chat with your mom to explain it

Is anyones husband/ partner actually stepping up post baby?

On Instagram your seeing all these post about husbands doing all the cooking, cleaning, food shop and looking after the other kids and allowing you to sleep, rest and focus on caring for the new baby..

Is this even possible. My husband helps but im still doing everything like usual. Im cooking all our meals, mowed the garden yesterday, hoover daily wash and hang the clothes outside. He is making our toddlers packed lunch for nursery and does the food shop but other than that everything is our usual. I havent had this waited on hand and food situation I see on socials 🤣😅😬

Boring.

Having to ask permission from my partner to go have a bath on a Sunday is insane. Yet he walks out the house when he likes to go smoke or plays on his laptop when he likes without a care in the world.

Told him to put the baby on the playmat so he can kick around his answer well all he does is cry and I hate the sound of him crying. It’s consuming…

Bear in mind football is on at 4:30pm and I’m gonna have to cook dinner and do bedtime routine.

Sorry just need a rant.

Would you be annoyed?

So both me and my husband had our friends round last night for a few drinks, I’ve been feeling unwell for a few days but just powered on like I do everytime I feel a bit rough.

Today I’ve woken up really unwell high fever, being sick, hot and cold shivers and a swollen throat. I was up with my son 2.5 years old from 6am and I let my husband lie in he came out around 930am and I then took myself back to bed as I’m crying feeling so unwell. All I can hear is him saying to my son go find mummy I’ve just looked in the room and he’s lying on the sofa falling asleep whilst my son sits with him just watching tv. I know my son is going to be a nightmare later as he’s not bothered to give my son a nap. But he’s just lying there either on his phone or closing his eyes.

I feel so unwell I haven’t got it in me to go in and just take my son and sort everything myself. When my husband is unwell I make sure I do everything and give him a break. He goes off to play golf every weekend for around 8 hours I’m always with my son and I don’t get a break . I do everything with my son but he makes out he’s amazing and does so much with him. I think he’s only ever taken him out on his own twice in his life I’m always there to organise and do everything

Advice on my situation 😩

I’m really struggling what to do I need advice or someone to talk to it’s killing me.

Couple months ago my baby dad went out he said he wouldn’t be back late and I told him not to do drugs as I don’t like it and we have a family anyway he didn’t come home till the next day as he was going drugs till silly o’clock in the morning. I had a discussion with him about it saying it upsets me etc saying sorry I won’t do it aged then another couple he did the exact same thing again

On Friday night he went out for a couple hours then came home at 12 in the morning on drugs yet again and somehow it’s all my fault it’s me doing wrong he doesn’t see the wrong in his actions and that he’s hurting me doing it.

Am I over reacting or have I a right ?

He doesn’t help me with our baby at all
Yesterday he spent all day in bed didn’t come see our daughter never mind me .

I put my all into been a mum don’t get help and just get walked all over I don’t know how much I can take i rlly love him and I don’t want a broken family but he’s hurting me doing this all the time l.

His doing but I’m gonna have to be the one who says sorry and try sort it out

5 year old playing Teen Games

I am confused as to how there are so many parents letting there little ones play games rated for kids twice their age. Does it not concern you how this will affect your kiddo long term? What is it doing to their development?
