Just roommates

I was hoping that things would get better after a year of postpartum. Giving us a chance to get used to being first-time parents and to a big change in our lives. It just got worse. The emotional and physical distance got worse over time, and it just felt like we were friends. His excuse for not getting physical is that he's afraid that we’ll get pregnant again. Mind you, it took us 10 years to make our first one. We used to cuddle and hold hands all the time. Has anyone gotten out of this funk in their relationship? When did it stop feeling like we are roommates instead of being married couple.

Fuss over nothing?

My son went to a birthday party on Saturday and he was given one of those paper wristbands to wear.
Fast forward to Tuesday and he won't take it off. He's going into preschool today and his friends from the party will be there and I just want to cut it off him. I don't want people to think he hasn't had a bath since Saturday (which he hasn't 🤣 every night his dad has gone to give him a bath and been exhausted so he's been sponging him down and throwing him into bed).
His dad says I am upsetting him for no reason and we should just let him wear it.
I don't know, I just wish he'd had a bath yesterday? It feels wrong sending him into school but he is only 4.

Is this wrong?

My boyfriend and I will fight, if I cry or panic and I go to him because he is still what I consider my safe space at the end of the day. Even though he sucks at comforting me I still give him the benefit of the doubt because of how he grew up. When my boyfriend and I fight if he starts to cry or panic he goes straight to his mom.

He started doing this like 5 minutes ago while arguing and I told him he needs to stop going to his mom and come to me weather we are fighting or not because I am supposed to be his safe space. He kinda just ignored me so I walked away.

Am I wrong? Or is this wrong?

MIL more of a hindrance than a help - what would you do?

My Mother in Law is a lovely woman with such a kind heart and loves her grandchildren so much.

I like her and don’t mind spending time with her (in small doses!).

She is SO loud and has no awareness (can’t read a room) and since having my youngest baby (I have 3 kids) she keeps on assisting on coming over to ‘help’ every Tuesday for the WHOLE day.

But she doesn’t help 🙈 her personality is choatic, she is clumsy and just adds to my stress.
She tries to help bless her but ends up making a mess, it is impossible to get my baby to sleep because she is so loud and doesn’t seem to think it’s a big deal when she wakes the baby.

I have tried in subtle ways to put a stop to it but because I know her intentions are good, I don’t want to offend her.

What would you do?

Meal ideas for 9 month old!

Anyone got any good meal ideas they’re doing for their little ones?

I feel like me and my partner tend to have the same meals a lot, mostly pasta dishes and occasionally chicken and mince meat for spaghetti bolognaise.

Little one has lots of different pasta dishes usually like broccoli pasta bake, spinach and pea pasta etc but trying to find other stuff

eggs

how do i serve eggs for the first time to my 7 month old? he’s been weaning for 6 days and i’m so anxious about it as i’ve been told it’s a big allegen for babies.
