Micromanaging husband

I’m getting frustrated because my husband micromanages my day through texts while he’s at work. He’ll text me to remind me of something that I’m already doing at that exact moment. This morning he gave me instructions on how to give our 2 year old his iron. He treats me as if I’m a babysitter and not the mother of our kids. Sometimes my mother in law who lives down the street from us will get the boys so I can have a break to just do whatever I need to do and if I tell him his mom has the kids for the day. He’ll ask who I’m with or who I’m going to see. I literally have no life and I barely see friends anymore because he bitches and moans about me hanging out with them. When my MIL does get the boys I clean the house and go get lunch and come back home and it’s not like I get a sit down lunch at a bar I’ll just grab some fast food and eat it in the car and rush to get the kids so that I don’t get questioned. This isn’t the life that I saw for myself.

How would this make you feel?

My ex husband cheated badly. He then went on to mentally and financially abuse me during our divorce when I got the guts to leave.

I later found out he’d started sleeping with one of my best friends. Why she went there is still a mystery to anybody because she knew how nasty he’d been to me. She must have lost her mind.

Anyway it’s been five years. I heard down the grape vine that they’ve had a rocky relationship but they did have a baby together. They also just got married too.

Anyway guess what. He’s done exactly the same to her as why he did to me.

Part of me hates the thought of this happening to any woman. Especially when kids are involved but the level of hurt the pair of them have inflicted onto me also makes me feel slightly glad! Karma caught up with her. I’m sad he’s not changed his ways, he’s a truly nasty person.

But I feel so conflicted about being secretly sorta happy this has happened. I could have predicted their ways would come back to bite them. Also I hate woman who do this to other woman. Me and my friend had been best friends since we’re 14!

How would you feel?
Has this ever happened to you?

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?

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.

Feeling guilty and awful

I dropped my little one off at nursery today it’s his second day and he was fine yesterday. But today he was crying and he had to be peeled off me. I feel awful , he goes from 7:30-6pm because I work and I wish I had it a diff way ! Does it get better will he settle ?

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.

Weaning

I started weaning my little boy around 5.5 months as he was more than ready and started on purées. I’m absolutely terrified of baby led weaning and wish I could get over this because I think he’s going off purées now as he loves the melty sticks and is great with them but I’m scared to give him anything else 😓

He’s 6.5 months now and tends to have breakfast and dinner, how can I get over the fear and offer him more solid foods?
Any advice would be appreciated as I’d love for him to be able to eat finger foods for when he starts the childminders in June!
