Why are some men like this

They disrespects you, compare you, talk down on you but when they get horny and start to see that you are losing you foreal they send things like this.
But sorry hunnae, I’m not falling for it this time

Does your child go/ will be going to public or private school?

If your child goes to private school, can you tell me why you made that decision. Also, if your child goes to public school, can you tell me why you made the decision.

Am I being too sensitive / overreacting or are my feelings valid?

I’m a SAHM mom to 2 littles (3&2) and 7 months pregnant with my 3rd.

I have no family nearby. My parents and siblings are wonderful - they fly in often to spend time with my kids and be a saving grace for me. Both my husband and I truly trust my parents and siblings with our kids, and don’t hesitate to ask for help with them at all. They help the kids, and help support us as parents and as a family. Mind you, my parents still work full time and so does my siblings and they still go above and beyond to be there and support us.

His parents on the other hand - live 20 minutes away. Never ever come visit. Expect us to bring the kids to them. They don’t work, my FIL is retired. They are still able bodied and drive everywhere and do everything for themselves. Just aren’t involved grandparents..

Today I had my anatomy scan for baby and obvs could not bring my kids for that long appointment. Husband asked his parents to watch the kids at our house. I prepared their lunch, snacks, everything they need. I even cooked my in-laws lunch because they didn’t eat yet.

I was gone for 2.5 hours. Yes, the kids are watched.. but the entire house was a disaster… and as soon as I came home, I was planning to treat them out to as a thankyou… instead my MIL and FIL hurried out the door to go grocery shopping.
Do I expect them to at least help tidy up a little? I mean no.. but it would have been nice.
I know my parents would have.

And on top of that, the lunch I made for them wasn’t touched, and then to find out they went out to eat soon after leaving here.

I just feel alone, unsupported. How much more when baby #3 is here?

I’m worried that my husband will be offended if I talk to him about this.

First Time (Girl) Mom Questions

Hi, couple of questions. Due on Monday and couldn’t find any good information so I figured I’d ask those with experience. I have a couple of questions.

1. I heard wiping the lower belly to make your baby pee before you change their diaper works really well for not getting peed on for boys- I was wondering if it’s the same for girls and if it’s as much as an issue for girls? Would like to avoid getting peed on lol.

2. When you do change your lil girl, I know you wipe front to back and there is a limit on how much pressure you should put- would anyone be able to give me a good example of how much pressure should be used? I asked a nurse and they basically said however much it takes to get clean, but I’m not up for accidentally hurting my kiddo if I can help it lol

3. Is there any advice I can get from experienced moms in general? I want to pull all of the knowledge I can so I can do the best I can.

Thank you!

Child’s father went to jail

My partner and I have two kids together, a 2.5 year old and a now 3 month old. He was taken to jail on a pretty serious felony charge when our new baby was only 5 weeks old. I’ve been struggling so so much lately and neither one of our family really cares about it. they all just think i should just move on but it’s not that easy. i’m the only one raising my kids now being that i don’t have a huge village and the people i do have work all the time or live over 100 miles away. i’m the only one helping him to fight his legal battles on top of postpartum depression. everyday i feel like giving up. i’m so lost. no friends either.

Treating grandkids differently

Would you be annoyed of your inlaws have managed to fit their other grandkids ( all the same ones) in 7 times during this half term but messaged you today to say they can fit yours in on monday coming but their busy the rest of the week? Im tempted to tell them im busy. They've been swimming , parks, and zoo but mine is only at their home.
