How would you feel?

About a week ago my partner lost his night retainer. He had his Invisalign about 4 years ago.

He's spent the first 3 days looking everywhere turning the house upside down and even not sleeping. He's been looking everywhere and not sleeping well at all

He got up at 4am and said I need to find them and I said babe come back to bed and he said leave me alone.

He starts work at 8:30, works from home. It was half 7 and he had our 7 week old and I said I got to her our 3 week old ready for nursery. He only started yesterday.

He was going on about his retainer and I said I'm sorry babe but it must not be here (we think our toddler must of thrown it) he started shouting at me calling .e negative and horrible and went mad. I now have the baby and my son is late for nursery.

How would you react?

Those retainers can be expensive

He’s not wrong for staying up for hours looking for them. If your son is late for nursery, it hardly matters at that age

What was your toddler doing with your husband’s Invisalign? Either you or your husband should have put them away out of reach & out of sight from toddler

If you knew your own very expensive Invisalign were within reach of toddler, wouldn’t you have put them away yourself?

Your partner is a grown adult man, he's responsible for his stuff. If he can't look after thing's, or think to put them out of reach of his own toddler, that's on him.

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.

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..

Insane MIL hacks?!?

My 6m old just got his shots today… he has painful knots on his legs, and was kind of inconsolable. My husband and I worked as a team to settle him down. While getting his medicine (motrin) and a cold wash cloth with ice in it to massage the knots. Please tell me why she comes to my husband and I with tylenol lidocaine and tells me to put it on his knots?!?! UHM?!! We told her no, he’s too young plus he has sensitive skin. We got this. She kept trying to push back on it, then sits it on the counter and says when what we do doesn’t work, then it’s there to use. Then continue to say she wouldn’t do anything to hurt baby boy. Then when she heard him crying from the compress, she says “seems like it’s not working.” We ignored her but it aggravated the soul out of me…

Silent for a week and comes back asking for money

Ok see now I’m irritated and he’s got me all the way messed up. So the last time I fully had a conversation with my so called boyfriend and the father of my child was on the 11th of this month. He comes back today asking me for $7, normally I would give it to him but this time after you ignored me for a week and I’m pregnant with your child and you have the nerve to ask me for money is crazy.
I can understand if there’s some personal stuff he’s working on but he still has no right to ignore his so called partner and mother of his child for a week and then come back like everything’s normal.
I texted him back and said before I give it to you, you need to tell me where you’ve been. He hasn’t responded yet but when he does oh he’s gonna here it from me and if I don’t get a reasonable explanation, I’m ending it right then and there and just co parenting because I’ll be damned if I take back someone who acts like this when things get tough

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.
