so this is minor asf ( maybe) but as long as i can remember my partner goes to work comes back plays games on repeat. Yes he does do what he needs to do ( chores, bub stuff) ect. I work from home. Home 24/7 with my 12 month old all every day 7 days a week. Am I wrong to ask not even 5 mins of his time to me and not his games?? Every time i ask “ oh can you not play tonight, lets watch a movie or sum?” Greeted with annoyance and “ why , do i have to bruh?” “ what are we even going to do” “ fk man i can’t play” “bs“. Yeah everyone can wind down. But like it gets to a point where you’re up late at 3am still going.

Don't know how long yall have been together but can you set up like a date night in the home. As in set the ambiance like candles and rose petals so when he comes home he sees 👀 hey I want to spend time with you. Not just trying to have relations lol but just you want your cozy time.
Not to make more work for you. Its all about effort from both parties.
No you are not wrong to want that. You need that adult mental stimulation. And he do deserve a pass time just as much as yourself.

You're not wrong for that. It sounds like he doesn't really value you as a significant other or a person who also needs time that isn't work or baby focused.

I would be upset if my partner was prioritizing a video and genuinely mean to me over wanting to spend time together. Yes.
My husband games, maybe 1-2hrs a day total. But he gets up and does it before work, and then maybe 30 minutes when he gets home. Not stay up till who knows.
It’s not minor that you’re having to beg the person you love to acknowledge you. It’s not fair either that he’ll then guilt you like you’re wrong or annoying for asking for While I understand he wants to and deserves to “unwind” then there needs to be a time limit on his playing or he can only play once friends are on not “wait for them” while playing. Have you confronted him about this being a regular and continuing issue?
I had to message my mother in law to please stop kissing my baby on the face…she messaged today for the first time since that conversation. I explained that we cannot meet up today as I’m sick (the cold that the in-laws gave us !!)…so she said “ok give baby a big kiss and cuddle from me”. Anyone else feel like that sounds really cheeky? Or am I taking it the wrong way😆basically just went in 1 ear & out the other.

I am 3 weeks emergency c section with our second baby (2 years). My partner got a new work phone a few weeks ago and he was sitting on it whilst at the dinner table. I asked him if I could have a look at it and I picked it up. He snatched it out of my hand and tried to hide it from me. He then refused to let me look at it and runs upstairs. He came back down stairs and explained that he didn’t want me to see a work email about a new job before he had a chance to talk to me about this.
I cannot understand the need to snatch, hide a phone and then leave the room over a work email.
I am feeling very angry with him and have refused to go to his family meal tonight and play happy families.
He is annoyed with me and is blaming me for ruining our evening and cancelling on his family.
I don’t want to believe he is hiding things from me but his reaction makes me think he is cheating/looking at things I wouldn’t approve of.
For reference, he has the passcode to my phone and goes on my phone all the time.

Just reached 37 weeks today. Husband wants to go visit his parents because he won’t see them for a while (they’re not visiting and we are only going to see them in feb). He thinks it’s doable. I’m very hurt and don’t feel prioritized. What to say

My husband and I have recently come abroad with our baby to meet his parents and family. We have been here 1 day and he has gone out drinking with his friends. I wouldn’t mind usually except he came home at 8:30pm drunk looking for a bottle of alcohol. His mum enables him and they were opening every cupboard imaginable and making so much noise that he woke our baby up. Our baby who hasn’t slept today due to the amount of visitors we have had. He then got his drink and left again. He left the room in such a mess as well. He didn’t even apologise for waking our child up showing he doesn’t care at all.
I’m fed up because we have come to see his family and introduce our baby. I don’t speak the language either so there’s a barrier. Most of them are telling me what to do (using arm gestures etc so we understand each other) and I’m lonely. It’s not a break or holiday for me. I enjoy myself more at home. I know while I’m here I’ll just be stuck inside at home every day and that isn’t what I want for me and my baby.
I feel like I want out of my marriage. Am I wrong with how I feel? x

For UK mums, when did you start weaning your baby onto solids and how did you know they were ready? What first foods did you try and do you have any tips for getting started? I'd love to hear about your approaches and any advice for handling nerves about choking or reactions.

Has anyone in your life told you that as a mother or even a stay at home mother that you don’t do anything??? I have bipolar type 1 and adhd and my son has autism. So I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not perfect that maybe I am a type c mom. But I know for damn sure that I don’t do anything is not true. My partner and I got into an argument and I can’t get over how he said I don’t do anything. Mind you he works night shift so he sleeps during the day. I can go down the list of everything I be doing but I know most people on this app know the truth!!!
So I’m at the point right now where I’m so hurt and angry that I am not going to do anything so he could see how this house looks when “I don’t do anything” I have checked out. I know this might be wrong so I’m asking y’all has this happened to you and what did you do? How did you feel? What should I do? I’m honestly just hurt and feel unappreciated……..
