Weaponize incompetence

Hi! My husband didn’t change our baby diaper.
So after dinner , I take the kids outside to run off extra energy.
Well the 1 year old was still eating so I had asked dad to change him, put a shirt on him and bring him outside. Ok so he handed baby to me (outside ) and his diaper was full of poop. And I said “why didn’t you change him?” He said “it’s a gift for you!”
I rolled my eyes and wanted to scream!

That’s not funny. And then you’d be the one to have to deal with the diaper rash later. I’m not one to bash men, but damn. That’s not weaponized incompetence, that’s just ignorant.

I would have handed that baby right back to him and told him to go change the diaper. That kind of shit doesn't fly in my house.

Daycare Owner Kissed My Toddler on the Cheek

I was so in shock when it happened that I froze and didn't say anything. On the way home, I thought in our culture, we're family oriented and she seemed like she wanted it to be known we're family but we can do that without you putting your lips on my child, no??? But I think if I speak up, it can create ill feelings and I'll no longer trust my child being there all because she didn't like that I said something (something similar happened with my MIL after speaking up about her kissing my baby on the lips) - especially after I didn't say anything about it before. Ugh what to do..... I really need the break but this is why I didn't want to take the childcare route to begin with.

Is it bad that I prefer when my partner is at work? Everything just seems to run so much smoother and seems much easier

Nothings changed

My husband’s life has not changed one bit since having a baby meanwhile my whole life has changed. He comes and goes as he pleases, goes out with friends, showers when he wants, eats when he wants, goes to the bathroom when he wants. He owns a business so he’ll work and then just do as he pleases with zero consideration of the fact Ive been home alone with a baby all day. One time I up and left to try and teach him a lesson. I was gone for one hour and sat in a parking lot drinking coffee. He called me 3 times and texted me 2 times within that hour.. yet he didn’t learn his lesson. What else can I do?

Occupy your kids SOS

Hi, I am going through a huge crisis right now. Too long to explain but I will be in my mother in law's flat for indefinite time now with my two little ones and 6 months pregnant. The flat is small and crowded, I don't have clothes for myself, not the little ones, no nappies nothing and also no toys. I want to limit screen time to the bare minimum. What are your SOS ideas to occupy your kids so both you and your kids stay happy and content? I am talking, any toys, equipment, any things to get you through the day without help!
