Relationship falling apart

Hi. I’m wondering if anyone else’s relationship with their partner hasn’t been the same since having a baby and is falling apart? My boyfriend told me that if he knew it was going to be this way he wouldn’t have had a baby with me, and that I shouldn’t have become a mom. I should have researched it first. That because don’t want our son crying I don’t know what I’m doing and turning him into a Velcro baby. Our son is 8 weeks old. I’m heartbroken. I feel so alone and miss having a partner and best friend. He hasn’t worked or contributed to the bills in 3 months . He’s supposed to be home helping but all he does for the most part is make me food which he hasn’t done in two days.

Am so sorry to hear that, has he even helped you with the baby then? What he said is not ok, cause to me it sounds like he is saying it is ur fault and is not. Is obviously ur doing ur best. Do u breastfeed?

He sounds like an insensitive prick honestly. But unfortunately when you have babies the true character comes out. Like the audacity to say an 8 week old is a Velcro baby is wild! It sounds like HE needed to do more research! Not you! Cuz 8 weeks is nothing!! They can’t even crawl! The fuck! He’s nuts! And it sounds like you have 2 children on your hands when there should only be the 8 week old baby!

Mum guilt… Nurseries

Hey mammas!
So I’ll try keep this short so I’m going back to work in a few months my daughter will be 15 months old. I’m only going back part time and I’ll be sending my daughter to nursery 3 days per week. But I see a lot of mums and videos on tik tok saying “id never send my child to nursery, I worked in a nursery they are horrible I’d never do it” I didn’t want to send my daughter to nursery anyway when she’s still so young because I’m scared that she’ll feel sad and look for me and I’m not there😞.
I wish I didn’t have to send her but I genuinely can’t afford to live unless I’m working at least part time. Im a solo mum so dad/partner is not in the picture so it’s all on me.
I know there’s been some stories in the media about nursery workers and abuse but I thought they are rare cases.
I’m almost crying writing this thinking that she won’t be okay. I’m not afraid of the worst case situation but more afraid of her missing me… I don’t know. I don’t know why everyone’s saying they’re never putting their child in nursery.
I thought nursery would be good for her to make friends, to have fun with messy activities and paint ect.
Just wondering what everyone’s else’s thoughts are on this

Am I a terrible mom?

My one year has started to scream for everything including going to sleep. I just can’t take it anymore and I’ve been letting her cry it out. Like I try everything I can to get her to go to sleep and as soon as I walk out of her room and shut the door she’s screaming again. The neighbors say they can’t hear her but idk how they can’t. I’m terrified someone’s gonna call cps on us because she screams all the time. I tell her no, screaming. I take something away that she shouldn’t be playing with, screaming. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Please tell me it’s not just me?

At 19 months I’m still getting naff all done around the house when my daughter’s around.
I’m not asking to clean the whole house from top to bottom but I’m really struggling to do even the simplest jobs.

I love my daughter’s but she kicks off the moment she doesn’t have my undivided attention. I just can’t handle the upset all the time so I end up just playing with her.

Feel like such a push over and also a little bit claustrophobic.

I’m not looking for tips or advice because trust me I’ve tried every trick in the book to help her to play independently. And I’ve even fallen for WAY more screen time than I’m happy giving 😞😞😞

Just hoping there’s others out there still living like they’re in the newborn trenches???

Wake windows

What are we doing to keep babies entertained during their wakeful time?? I feel bad because I don’t know what to do to entertain him the best I can, and he sleeps so more than a typical 1 month old I’m wondering if it’s not out of boredom- am I normal for just watching my show while I talk to him and play or should I be doing more?

Parents of multiples:why does it feel like im falling so far behind with my second..? I feel like im failing himn😭

My daughter is 3 and my son is almost 8 months. With my daughter I was on top of everything, she hit her milestones, sometimes early. But with my son I feel like im falling behind... I didn't regularly start giving him purees until 7m because It didn't click how much time had passed.. Like I blinked and I missed my que. Hes also not sitting up by himself yet and the doctor said she isn't super concerned but if he can't by his 9m check up then hell need to do physical therapy... I just feel like time is moving incredibly fast and I can't keep up, I'm falling behind..
