Neglect?

Do you believe not socializing your kid or taking your kids out to activities like the park, zoo, playspace, etc. as neglect? Obviously these things aren’t necessary but it’s a learning experience and enriching for their development.

MIL has fell out with me

My MIL has fell out with me because I expressed concern about her giving my recently turned 5 month old ice cold filtered water out of a glass (no sterilisation) - behind my back despite me politely telling her beforehand that he’d never had water before and I’d prefer for her not to give it to him yet. (For context I walked in on her doing it btw so I saw it first hand and was absolutely shocked). She yelled in my face, completely snapped at me, told me she’ll never do anything for me again, was sarcastic about her changing his nappy and said she hopes I don’t have a problem with that either. I remained calm during the whole exchange despite her giving me evil stares and rolling her eyes multiple times and just being rude. She stormed off and has refused to speak to me since. I sent her a message the morning after to check if she’s ok and that I’d love to restore our relationship but she’s ignored it (not like her as she usually responds immediately). My husband is abroad atm so he’s not around to mediate. I’m really keen to repair this and get back to normal but I’m not sure what else to do at this point.

Anyone have any advice or tips?

Am I broken or is this just life now?

I need some advice or somewhere to vent that isn’t my head or feeling like I’m annoying the crap out of friends. My little boy is 8 weeks old and before a few days ago I’ve felt generally okay. Obviously teary and stressed in places but nothing that I cant handle. The past couple days however have been horrid. I’m trying to tell myself he’s just fussy because of the hot weather (who isn’t son?) but I’m just really struggling with life right now. He’s not even THAT fussy, he still sleeps relatively good throughout the night but when he cries throughout the day I want to just leave and never come back. I know I wouldn’t but the thought is there.
I feel like recently I’m getting way more overwhelmed at the smallest of things. I often feel like I’ve made the biggest mistake of my life and he deserves so much better than what I’m giving him. I also feel so much guilt for feeling this way because I know I have it technically so much easier than others, we have a brilliant support network, friends with babies his age and my partner is off for another 5 weeks. I just can’t shake the feeling that I wasn’t built for motherhood and the thought of having to feel this way for the rest of our lives makes me terrified I’m going to pass on childhood trauma to my little one.

At what age is baby ready for sit down restaurants?

My birthday was in the middle of my pregnancy so I couldn't do my typical birthday dinner at my favorite sit down restaurant and we planned to do it after I had baby. He's 7 weeks tomorrow and I feel like it's still too early to go bc he'd be in his car seat most of the time, which tbh he doesn't mind, he loves his car seat but i don't like him to be in there for too long.

Breakfast (weaning)

I want to give my son a variety of breakfast as he’s turning 6months in few days he’s been having Weetabix which he loves. However I’ve also been giving organic porridge but I just feel like the texture is really gooey. Is there any recommendations for another porridge obviously without all the sugar etc.

Upset

Is it okay for me to be upset again and again? Me and my bf do not live together and during my pregnancy he was barley there he would stay out late for hours playing volleyball and barley text me he even went out of the country for two months and during that time I was having constant pain attacks and again barley texted me and no calls. I definitely thought about ending it but I love him. I thought after our baby was here it would be okay. When she was born he was here for a week and we talked he said he wouldn’t be out late like he had been. I’m not working rn so he takes care of us. But I am with our six week old daughter every single day in the same room and house I don’t get a break and I get upset when he visits and can barely help me when I’m tired he gets to work and I understand that but he then goes out with his friends late and hangs out and still plays for hours. When I went to visit for a week I was stuck at that house seven day barley went out maybe to eat or the store but we didn’t hang out or go to the park but he doesn’t that when I’m not there I feel like the only parent I feel like he had a whole other life and my heart it breaks cause he doesn’t talk to me. When he visits he leaves the next day and will hangout with his friends as soon as he gets back I feel like we don’t even exist like thin air. My heart really hurts and yet I still love him so much.
