Anyone else’s baby always cry when held by a particular person?
Posting this because I’m wondering if it happens to anyone else, my 4 month old son always cries like he’s in pain when my Dad holds him!! I feel so bad for my Dad when it happens and it puts me in an awkward position because I wanna grab him back but don’t wanna make out like my Dad doesn’t know what he’s doing 🫣 To be fair baby boy has only met my Dad like 3-4 times (the first time was at about 2 months) so that’s probably something to do with it, and also my Dad and I aren’t very close so I think he picks up on my feelings around him. Still strange though as he’s such a content baby and is usually fine meeting and being held by new people!

Going through this now 🥲 we’re doing tummy time with them to help
I read somewhere that this stage they are differentiating from their primary caregivers (eg. You) to unfamiliar faces! We had this a few weeks ago where we were with family and our LG screamed! She was also in the early stages of teething! It’s not personal al th Pugh it can feel like it x
I am going through this with my mum. I have found that if he sits on me and interacts with her he is fine but when she holds him he gets upset. She is really starting to get a complex about it.
I understand its upsetting to the person but ill never let my baby stay with the person they're particularly upset with. Babies are sensitive and pick up on things we dont and hes clearly uncomfortable.I personally would still allow my dad to hold him as long as LO is happy but otherwise wouldnt force it.
Had this today, my eldest son is always around but today he tried to hold my 4 month old. She stared at his face for a minute and then wouldn't settle afterwards until she was on me.
My son does the same with my dad. I assume it's because he doesn't see him often and has a big bald head 😂

In laws with kissing baby
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.

Husband snatches phone out of my hand and refuses to let me look? Unacceptable? Am I being unreasonable?
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.

Husband wants to go on a trip 37 weeks pregnant
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

NEED TO RANT
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

When and how to start weaning and introducing solids?
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.

Mothers being told they don’t do anything!!
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……..
