12 hour shifts

Any tips from people that work along the hours of 7-7 please?

Returning to work from maternity leave soon & will be leaving the house 6am and returning to the house 7:30pm, part time, anxious about this so would love some tips please

Partner will be collecting baby from grandparents earlier & looking after them for the evening / potentially doing bed time (he’s not used to doing that solo at all either)

It’s definitely hard and can stress you out, how about you allow him to practice it for few hours for few days and also teach him I’m sure he’s just as nervous or anxious on it and this might help

I haven't gone back to work yet so I don't know whether this will actually help but this is what I am doing to prep for my 12 hr days.
My husband is doing every bedtime he's around for to get the practice.
I've done alot of batch cooking for easy meals for the 2 of us that are also baby friendly. Also batch cooked alot of snacky food for my little one like mini pancakes and egg muffins so my husband can still easily feed her.
I'm planning out in advance what I'll be eating for breakfast and lunch at work and buying tuperware so I can prep it the night before.
I've also had some half days at work to give my husband more practice and confidence which has helped us both!

Should trans people have to disclose they are trans to potential partners/dates from the start?

And should it be classed SA if they sleep with someone without informing them, and this person wasn’t okay with it?

Baby Brain

Please tell me I’m not the only one really struggling with this? I’m doing really silly, forgetful things, losing really important things and just in general feel very absentminded and not really knowing what’s going on 😂🫠 any tips, tricks or just general reassurance that I’m not alone 😂

UMM HELLO ?!

I hate how my boyfriend acts

I do. I love him but I hate how he acts. It’s like he cant be honest with me in the moment & then blows up later. I don’t think I can do this for much longer. I hate it. Advice?

What do I do?

I broke up with bf before the baby was born. He never wanted the baby and tried to manipulate me into having an abortion and was very hit and miss with being present up to birth. This didn't bother me but he went around telling everyone I ruined his perfect family and ignore his messages. The only time he messaged me while pregnant was to say how much he loved me and wanted to get back together. This turned into harassment which went as far as messaging my mum and sister who's only 12 sying i'm hormonal and don't know what i'm talking about. He never once asked about his child, if he did I would answer. Since the baby was born he's had minimal contact with the baby and barely asks how he's doing. He hasn't contributed to anything. I've brought everything, gone to all the lessons etc while he hasn't done anything. I just feel at ends wit that i,m getting hammered on social media by his friends and family about how i'm a bad mum for taking away access to his son which I haven't done and how they will make sure he knows what I did when he grows up. It's constant back a forth he says I'm keeping him away from his son but he posts online that he wouldn't be suprised if it was someone elses baby and how he wants to move away but he can't do that anymore because the baby holds him back.

He messages me the week he's nearby and says I'm coming to see him in the next few days when can I come round. I feeling like i'm being made a fool because he knows I won't fight back and I'll give him visitation because I want them to at least tey and have bond.

On top of him doing all this he's trying to start a relationship with someone with children. I feel awful saying this but what makes her children better than the one he's got and has abandened.

I just don't know what to do anymore. Going to court seems extreme but what else can I do?
