Please

Please please please tell me I'm not the a-hole here or I'm not overreacting because I would have to take accountability and responsibility for my words and apologize. So a little backstory yesterday I did the overnight for our 4-month son. He's going through sleep regression. He was up every hour on the hour and I got maybe 2 hours of sleep. He got to sleep the whole night through. He didn't work yesterday and said he wasn't feeling good. Which okay. But I managed to get all the laundry folded and put away and go grocery shopping and make dinner. That's 2 hours of sleep I had to adult on. Now today he did the overnights last night and my son slept longer. We have my two daughters from her previous marriage. I am not only doing laundry. I'm doing dishes. I'm making lunch for them and I'm also trying to take care of my 4-month-old. He comes in and says he's tired now. I told him to do the laundry because I can't always get to the laundry room because I live in an apartment and the laundry room is on the other side of the building. He left a basket of clothes that were still damp and he came in and said I'm tired and I don't feel good. He's highly allergic to cats and we have three and on top of that he smokes and he has horrible allergies so his sinuses are probably pissed off. Am I wrong for being angry? I don't get to have a day off even when I'm tired. He does right now. He's sleeping because my son is sleeping. WTF 😒😒😒

Asking grandparents to watch baby overnight

So I already feel guilty for even asking my MIL to have my baby (15months) overnight but I am at my breaking point, I am so exhausted as he wakes up every morning between 4.30am-5am and won’t go back to sleep until 9am and then he will have an hour before he’s up for the day. I’m home alone with him 90% of the time. I just need one night to catch up on sleep and to try and few human again but the thought of leaving him overnight is giving me some anxiety and the guilt of even asking someone to watch him is eating my alive. Any advice?

Great grandma kissed my babies face

My girl is 5 weeks, we spent over 2 weeks in the NICU and I am very germ conscious because of everything, she had sepsis and needed resuscitation at birth so I’m very overprotective. We took my girl to see her great grandma and she kissed her on the face, like on the lips, I am now absolutely freaking out that my daughter will now get seriously ill, we’ve seen several members of the family and this hasn’t happened yet, but now she’s been kissed and I haven’t even kissed her face because of the germs. Its my partners grandma so I didn’t feel like I could say anything at the time, which I now regret but it was all so fast and made me so uncomfortable. I am like very stressed now, any advise on how to stop it happening again and anything that can be said that will stop me having a panic attack over the next few days worrying she will get sick?!

Do you hit your husband?

Like a smack on the back of his head or back
Or straight up hitting him and beating on him
Or not at all

Baby will not sleep or settle

My baby is three weeks old and originally he was settling well. But the last few days have been absolute hell. I'm an SMBC so no partner or support network, it's just me and him. Last night he screamed all night, white noise didn't soothe him having given me a few hour's respite in the afternoon to wash my hair for the first time in a month (yes, really!). Eventually he fell asleep for a few hours on my chest but was agitated when I put him back in his cot. I tried everything last night but all he did was scream. I hate him being so distressed and nothing seems to work. He's exclusively breastfed so I need to take time to eat myself to protect the milk supply. Any advice would be greatly appreciated....

Recommendations!

Hi! So this is my 18 month old’s hair. It’s often frizzy and I honestly don’t know what products to get or how to encourage those natural curls. My hair is completely straight so I haven’t got a clue. Please help. Her hair isn’t knotty at all though surprisingly

Sleep!!

Does any of your partners think its OK to sleep for 16 hours a day when you have a 6month old regardless of how strenuous their work week is? My partner went to bed at 9 last night with me and the baby and has still not even attempted to get out of bed it's now 10 to 1 in the afternoon! I'm livid and he wonders why I'm always mardy with him! What's your opinions on this....??
