Am I just being overly sensitive?

So my partner (25) and I (20) have 2 kids together. I'm a SAHM. He works really hard for our family & I really appreciate it so much.
But when he gets home he has a bath, then sits outside and smokes while playing Call of Duty until it's the kids bedtime(+/- 2hrs). I almost never spend time with him. And the weekends it's the same except some days he will be out visiting or up and down doing favors for other people.
I have asked him multiple times to go on a date or even just spend an hour together, but it never happens because he always forgets.
Then when we have gone out it's always too boring for him and we end up spending the 'date' with some of his friends, the kids or his sister like Valentines this year...
I feel really neglected and I get so angry with him, but he really shows up dispute this... am I being too dramatic?

How would you respond

So im dealing with my husband's grandma trying to over parent and she also feels entitled to see our son. We have told her on countless occasions that technically she has no rights to our kid and that its not her place to guilt trip us into anything. My husband and I are moving but its hard for us to pack when she keeps picking fights. Im also 24 weeks pregnant with my second child, my first is only 7 months old. What should I do because me and my husband are to the point of telling her she won't see him after we move? Just telling her I was laying him down for a nap and not handing him to her made her cry.

Tell me I’m not losing my mind

So my man and I have been fine but recently he’s said we’ve been distant but idk what he means cause yes i work when he’s home and when im off he’s away for work like yeah there’s distances but at the same time when he is home he’s not he’s out with his friends barely home and when he is he just lays there and doesn’t really talk to me and so I decided to dress up for him today and he looks at me and was like why you dressed up I said for you and he was like why wdym cause I wanted to look nice for my man idk I just thought that dressing up would you know idk make it seem like we’re distant like idk what he even means by that and I’ve asked him and he’s like idk well we can’t be something that you don’t even know idk if that made since tbh I haven’t felt the distances so idk maybe I’m just blind or something plus like my body hasn’t been corporating cause I’ve basically been on my period for the past month so when he is home and wants sexy time I’m like no cause I’m bleeding I’m not now and that’s one of the reasons I felt like dressing up because I actually feel good with myself plus a couple of people at work last night looked at me and told me it looks like I’ve lost weight so it has me feeling good about myself. Idk I feel like I’m just in my head and spiraling

The outfit is wearing today.

How do you do it?

For the stay at home mums who are responsible for their kiddos for the whole day, how do you do it? What are some tips for maintaining your energy and sanity while looking after your kids the whole day, day after day?

For reference I have a 10 month old and a 2 year old and my husband works 12 hour days. I’ve had help from family so far but now I’ll mostly be by myself.

How do you limit or avoid physical and mental exhaustion?

Kissing my baby

Am i being dramatic?

My mother is obsessed with my 11 week old boy, understandably as he is the first grandchild.
She does however get regular coldsores, so i have asked her nicely not to kiss my baby’s face or hands (as he puts them in his mouth).

She keeps ignoring me, my brother calls her out and tells her not to when i have my back turned and it drives me crazy. When i call her out, she reacts by telling me i don’t clean my hands enough when handling my baby anyway.

How do i get through to her, it’s driving me crazy that she doesn’t respect my boundaries and it ends in an explosive argument where she tells me not to bother visiting. As if I don’t want to see the rest of my family.

Am i being dramatic, is it still a risk at almost 3 months old?

This weather is great until you have a 10 week old 🫠.

What id do to be in a beer garden right now instead Im inside with my 10 week old wearing the only thing that fits which is black leggings and a baggy top. Trying to keep him cool and happy. Trying to keep my 2.5year old from not going mental outside and actually coming out of the sun. All while my partners in Spain on a rugby tour and I just want to sit in the sun and tan with a nice cold alcoholic drink 🫠

Are you taking your toddler 2-3yo out of the house every weekend? See more!

I mean besides a quick trip to the park or store. An activity like the museum or the mall or an arcade. I’m so tired. I’m a single mom w NO village and my energy Sat & Sunday is so low I just want to lay. My son goes to a Montessori daycare so he’s stimulated all day during the week. So on the weekends he’s ready to go go go. I’ll try to get us outside But then the tantrum aspect of toddlerhood kicks in and he fights me to get dressed and out the door. We get where we’re going but eventually there’s and other tantrum. It’s so much work. But in the house he’s bored. He’s throwing stuff at me and acting out. It’s like I can’t win
