Rant and rage

I'm not coping and don't feel supported in the way I need. I try and voice how I feel and I get met with silence and huffs and puffs
My son has problems feeding and gaining weight yet my mil insists on holding and comforting him rather than listening to me saying I should try feed him or change him. I get ignored. Same with my toddler she will continue to give her treats when I say no as 1 was enough and doesn't need 3 of somthing. I feel pushed out and not respected
I'm finding it hard very hard

If someone (I don't care who) can't respect your wishes and boundaries, thry don't get access to your children until they can.

I hear you. My family promised to help in all sorts of ways and havent. They talk shit about me to my own kid (ok he cant understand right now but still not fucking cool) so I've limited contact 🤷‍♀️ life is much more chill now

You can say it with love, but the need to get the message.

You remove contact with your children until she can listen to you

Your child your rules. No contact until they respect you as the mother and that goes for everyone. Family or not

Wrong or no?

We are first time parents, living in a two bedroom with another couple so our privacy is VERY limited. Is it wrong to be intimate in the bedroom while the 10 month old sleeps? Or is it horrendously disturbing?

i didn’t realize how much this part of her hair would need attention

has anyone else noticed dryness in the back of their baby’s hair?

this used to be the hardest area for me to manage, and i honestly didn’t think much of it at first

i started focusing more on moisture and consistency and i’m finally seeing a difference

now it’s softer, shinier, and holding moisture so much better

i’ve been documenting her progress and sharing more on instagram as i figure things out 🤍

Hitting himself

My 21months son started to hit himself when he got frustrated. Like when i say no to him.
He also started to hit me and pinched me when i hold him outside and someone say hi to him.
I think he got this from my autistic brother. We spent a month at my parents house. And that behaviour is what my brother was doing.

What can i do to make him stop? And what can i say to him when he do that? Without making it worse. Or should i just ignore it and he will grow out of this?

I can’t even have conversation with anyone when we were out. Because he keeps hitting my face.

Difficult time

No one talks about how difficult is being woken up by your toddler at 5am in the morning then trying to entertain them until a reasonable time when shops or parks open…all that while hubby sleeps in undisturbed. And yes I try to wake him up but nothing could move him from the bed.

I personally find that time of the day so difficult when baby tries their best to push boundaries 😔
