Where u from?

Is it in Texas

That’s crazy ! Every moma here knows how it feels during the first 40 days postpartum. I can’t imagine how u feeling right now I’m so sorry that you’re going through this

U have to be smart tho. If u have your parents or financial ability to take care of you and the baby-you’re good . Otherwise u have to come up with a plan

What an awful horrible man. Im so sorry. You deserve so much better. Have you confronted him?

I’m so sorry you’re going through this… but the truth is you WILL get navigate it because lots of women do. Do you have family to lean on? Xx

Next steps are probably just focusing on you and bubs, finding your feet as a new mama and looking after you. In time you can grieve for the relationship but try to not let it take away this special time with your baby. X

I don’t know how to word it positively, but what did he actually do to help? I bet you do a lot more than you realise. Think about everything you have already been doing on your own, and remind yourself that you CAN do it, because you already do. For the things he did help with, do they need to take priority everyday? Can they be replaced with something different and easier? Can your family help with them in his place? If you’re okay financially for the time being, try to just focus on you and your baby. You’ve got this!!

Thank you everyone 💕

Confronted him hes convinced he hasn't done anything, and has lied through his teeth to get away with it instead of being honest

Toddler development

My 20 month old doesn’t go to nursery he’s got a friend who’s a few months older than him but does go and I’ve noticed a massive difference.
He can count to 6 and knows his colours. How can I teach my son things like this at home?

Purées

My baby won’t be 4 months until October 30th. But I have been letting him taste purées and he loves them. Do you think it’s too soon to let him eat more than a spoon full? He has got great head control and sits in high chair without assistance

MEN

The more I live life, the more I am starting to realize how much I hate men. I am sure there are a handful that are great. But the majority of them are selfish and literally f*cking dumb.
I have to ASK for help? For things no one asks me to do?
If I decide to cook or not do laundry, it won't get done?
I am beyond tired.
The load of responsibility is not close to even.
Remembering to sign up for parent teacher conferences, which child had a physical due, what sporting game is on what day, washing dirty underwear, cleaning the car from constant crumbs at the car wash, scrubbing toilets and tubs, packing the right snacks for the picky child, then remembering to f*cking shower my own body?!
There's a reason why women are opting out of marriage or having less children. There's a reason more women with children are turning gay and being with someone that understands.
The whole political system, the whole f*cking world is SH*T because of MEN!

Why is childcare so expensive !

😅 i feel like i dont see any 16 year old girls anymore trying to make little extra cash or just moms helping other moms out.
Just me who'd be happy to help a mom out just so she can have her 3 hours to go peacefully grocery shopping or have a break. Its tough to be a mommy. And at the same recover after birth and needing that sleep.
Just me who has to choose between a shower, eating, sleeping or having a quick clean? What's your experience like ? 🥰

14 month old and eating??

Anyone else’s 14 month old overly emotional and refusing food at home? My son goes to daycare while I’m at work, his teachers say he eats great there, often wanting second and thirds. However, when I feed him dinner, he throws it all on the floor for the dog. I’ve tried putting the dog upstairs, me feeding him, and offering a wide variety of different things, and he still refuses. I could understand if he’s still full from eating at school, but he cries like he’s hungry, but doesn’t eat??
Is this normal behavior? Could it be teething?
I just worry because he’s only on a normal food diet and whole milk now(no bm or formula), don’t want him to be hungry😩

Potty training

Any tips of potty training my nearly 3 year old, he doesn’t like not having anything on and he hates sitting on potty and he doesn’t show any signs when he needs to go to the toilet.
