Am I crazy for wanting to do the drive again?

So Friday we drove 2 1/2 hours away to spend the weekend away with my parents. Came back yesterday and the fridge and freezer had been off the whole weekend so that really stressed me out as we did a big shop before we left (even though I was adamant I didn’t want to 😒) anyway the kids are WILD today. I have a 1 and 3 year old and they just have not stopped. The house is just a mess with our bags,my partner put a food bag on the kitchen counter which leaked oil EVERYWHERE. Just little things adding up and I’m itching to get out the house. Where we live there’s nothing here for kids so now I’m debating getting us in the car and driving 2 hours away to see my mum and nan 😅 I literally don’t know what to do with myself,my partners on night shifts so he’s obviously asleep in the day and we don’t see him at night. Just need someone to tell me if I’m being crazy for wanting to do the drive

Not crazy you just miss the company and the support. I think its understandable how you feel especially when your return home has been crappy also

If you feel like you get more support there whilst your partners on nights go for it!! No shame in getting some help if feeling overwhelmed xx

Am I in the Wrong?

My landlord and her daughter came into mine and my daughter’s room that we are renting today to grab clothes and belonging that she had left here. I received NO verbal, written or otherwise notice of her plans to do so in advance, and was only told later that evening that this had taken place.

When we got “home,” our room was tossed around quite a bit! It’s obvious they had gone through all of the drawers, closets, etc, which also includes our personal belongings, in order to make sure she had all of the things she wanted, I’m assuming.

I later found out that her son (who is a close friend of mine, but still…) had ALSO come into our room, without permission, to grab a couple of his daughters belongings (I had her over to watch her last night). His daughter did not need these items anytime soon, but the way.

I’m feeling pretty uncomfortable with this. In my experience with rental agreements, the landlord always gives prior notice and makes a plan with me/the tenant before coming onto, and especially inside the home. It’s really thrown us off kilter. It’s led us to feel quite uncomfortable in a space that we should feel safe in.

What do you guys think? Is this an invasion of my privacy and against my rights as the tenant, or is the status quo?

What do I do ?

I’ve been pregnant with my 3rd child for 6 months now, I’ve had all my kids back to back because birth control causes me major health issues and I’m allergic to latex. Me and my partner have been together for 2 and a half years. For half of this time I’ve been asking him to help with the kids more, be more consistent with me and him and be more romantic/ hearing me and just making me feel not alone. I’m a SAHM I do most of the house work and we are currently moving. I was already pissed off because he was being an asshole to me all weekend, kept calling me annoying and irritating mind you.. starting around Thursday he’d have short temper with the kids I had to correct him. Saturday we had to get up early for DC, I fed my kids did their hair, got
Their clothes out, brushed their teeth, cleaned etc and he didn’t get up until 9:50, we had to leave the house by 10:30 we didn’t even up leaving until 1130, the day after this we had a family event with my family. Every family event we have went to with my side of the family he’s been an asshole. He got irritated because I was gone talking to my cousin and when I came
Back he addressed me I front of a couple members of my family. We left I felt really embarrassed we didn’t talk until the next night. Which is today. I spent a lot of time packing and he came and tried to apologize but I didn’t say anything else to him. In later asked did he just plan on packing his stuff and he said yes which means he’s expecting me to pack our entire apartment including everything and the kids and myself, I’m just tired. We have great chemistry when things are good but 50% of the time I’m
Unhappy and idk what
To do.

Birthday breakfast 🎉

My 2 year olds birthday breakfast 🥹. This was a very special one as I managed to get some tropical fruits.
Sourdough pancakes, sausages, bacon, grapes, granadilla, rose apple and starfruit. Thoroughly demolished as we woke up very hungry. I have enjoyed introducing my little foodie to all kinds of foods.
This official marks the end of our weaning journey as breastfeeding is stopping today.
PS we choose to serve foods this way as we teach our little one to navigate through difficult foods like whole grapes and eat mindfully ☺️.

Husband decides to vent??

So sitting together while the little one is sleeping. We are just chilling he’s playing a video game which is fine with me I play them too! I’m catching up with a friends who are having a baby soon. They are having trouble financially and seem happy but might be stressed about the baby coming but haven’t said much on way or another. I’m talking to my husband about them and what’s going on, this is nothing new when I’m talking to friends.

He freaks out on me says we don’t do things together we don’t talk about fun things anymore, how I’m to busy with the baby and going to back to school full time, and how that’s all I talk about, we don’t just cuddle (I don’t have to stick my dick in you). how he tries to “help” watch the baby so I can do fun things, so I can be how I was before the baby.

What do i do with that? I’m at mom I take care of a toddler full time, i might get 1 day a month for 2 hours my mother in law might watch the toddler so I can study deeply. We don’t have a nanny or house cleaners I do all household chores if not they don’t get done! I know this for a fact because my toddler get sick for 4 days so I couldn’t do any cleaning or washing clothes, not once did he pick up. Other wise I’m studying at night and going to class 3 nights a week. I’m also trying to get a start up off the ground so I can make money for our family and be there for my family on my own schedule.

What do I do with that kind of “blow up” from him???

Separation anxiety?

I don’t even know if this is considered separation anxiety or not but every time I walk away from my son he starts screaming at the top of his lungs and crying. He’ll even do it after awhile when my mom or husband has him and I try to leave the room. Weirdly enough though my parents have babysat him and he’s gotten a little bit fussy but not to the level where he is full out screaming. He seems to only do it when he knows I’m still in the home? Idk the question is how do I stop it?? If I can? it’s starting to stress me out, I feel like I can’t clean the house or work for a little bit or do anything rly lol. He’s 7 months btw.

How do I make him realize??

I’m pregnant for the first time I just turned 19 today actually, and I’m still with dad, we’ve been together since freshmen year of high school but it’s been ALOT we have been through litterly everything you could think of to be honest, and we’re still here! Anyway, I’m pregnant now we weren’t trying at all but not really taking proper precautions and now we’re having a baby long story short but, I feel like he’s not taking this as serious as I am, I’ve worked with children and families since I was 16, and I’ve helped my mom raise my sister since she was born and she’s only 4 now almost 5, but him on the other hand, his dad passed when he was 12-13 mom got
Locked up since he was 13-14 and he’s been living with his grandparents ever since and there old school, they also don’t even know about this because that’s for him to tell not me, he just idk I really feel like he’s not taking it serious? he dosent even wanna tell anyone and I don’t really Either but at the end of the day who really Cares what they think. I’m scared he’ll just look at me as pregnant and that’s it, does that make sense?? I fear he’ll take no effort to research how I’m changing physically and mentally and I’m scared he’ll be here but not HERE. He’ll be here physically but not understanding or even try to mentally and emotionally. Like I’m just pregnant not Everything else that comes with it, and I want him to try this program called rookie dads and he just shot me down right away, I even tried saying it was for me or it was for baby why is it have to be an argument and still nothing! what do I do to show him like this is real life and you need to take initiative, I mean it’s only been about a week since weve been processing but still… does anyone know anything of what to do??
