Boy mums 🩵💙 I need some advice before I start panicking

My very almost 2 year old has started acting quite emotional when his bum is being changed. He used to hate getting his nappy changed anyway, however he’s been really good the last 2 months at getting his own nappy, laying down etc but then when it comes to actually wiping his bum/privates…he gets REALLY upset and cries/forces his legs shut so I can’t clean up properly. I’ve had a look as best as he’d let me and there’s no redness or any cuts etc.

Is this normal? I have to hold both his legs open and basically fight him to get to the areas I need to get to. I try not to make it harder than it is for him so I am careful and try my best to comfort him while it’s happening. But what the heck is this all about? I was worried someone had hurt him but he’s never not with me so it’s impossible. I just don’t know where it’s coming from and why it’s so upsetting for him. Apart from this he is a great child who barely ever cries (unless he doesn’t get his way lol) but he can have a fall/cut and will be smiling and laughing.

When he’s in the bath and I wash his area (with water & not hard at all just a little wipe, nothing that will hurt) he also doesn’t seem comfortable with that either and tries to run away, he doesn’t get as upset it’s more of a game to him and sometimes laughs. It’s all very confusing. My partner says it’s a sensitive area anyway and while he’s young it might just be extra sensitive to touch. Any boys mums who can help? 🥲

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 ? 🥰

Best tonies characters for a child who’s not into cartoons much

She likes ms Rachel but she’s only 2 and doesn’t have much interest for many cartoons or for anything Disney si which tonie characters have you found your child has liked if they haven’t watched much? Happy for them to be cartoons or Disney if you feel they are entertaining in itself

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😩

Unhappy in new marriage

I got married in July it was perfect could asked for it any better. We’ve been together for 9 years and recently he’s distant on his phone all the time and feel neither of us make an effort. I’ve given up he doesn’t contribute to the jobs around the house and pays for nothing for our I son. He has a major debt problem which he’s working on and mental heath problems recently. So I’m un well worst I’ve ever felt plus think I might be very early pregnant. He not supported me shouted at me in middle of night as I couldn’t breathe so was making noise he screamed at me and said I’m selfish for not sleeping on the sofa. Eventually I went on the sofa couldn’t be in the same room as him. This morning I can’t even stand up I’m so dizzy and unwell but he asked me to get our son ready as he was too busy. Then he just left with our son to take him to my sisters. No goodbye nothing I addressed this and he just said what do I expect he doesn’t want to talk to me as he’s tired and it’s my fault he said I’ve caused this on purpose as I’ve called in sick so I can sleep all day and he has to work.

Usually we get on well with only a few little arguments here and there. We’re moving in with my parents next year so we can save and pay of his debt.

I just have a real strong feeling of resentment to him right now and it’s causing me massive anxiety.

I also have no one to talk to about it
