Guilt for older child

Hello, I’m 8 weeks pp and I have a 3 year old. She’s taken to being big sis brilliantly and I really can’t complain but I’m finding it hard at the moment as baby is very clingy and I feel like I can’t give my eldest enough attention and I feel like it’s starting to have an impact on her behaviour. Baby just wants to be held, awake or asleep, I’ve tried a sling/wrap which works but I still cant really bend and play with her properly. Anyone else finding the same? Any solutions? Thanks!

AITA??

I think I already know the answer but here goes..

I have an urgent scan booked tomorrow to test for stomach cancer. It's a camera down my throat and I've asked for sedation so I will need someone to take me and bring me home.

Hubby says he can't get time off work and I know he hasn't even asked. He's completely swamped after being on holiday for two weeks. Meetings after meetings m, etc. I'm really upset that he hasn't even asked. He was like 'I have to work' he was shouting about how busy he is at work.

I'm a young mum with a very young boy. I'm not ready for all of this and I need the support. The procedure itself is awful, I'm a RN and my mind is in overdrive. Am I being a child for wanting him to be there or is he just not being supportive?

Please be kind, I'm terrified!

Bad parenting or accidentally said something dumb😂

I was at the park yesterday and one of the moms was trying to get her about five-year-old boy to go home and he was refusing and so she said OK. You get two hours of time out when we get home and walked away frustrated

Is this normal are other mom’s putting their kids in timeout for two hours?😬

or do you think this is one of those “if you don’t do this I’m gonna crash the car scenarios.” Where you say something you didn’t mean cause you were getting heated Lmao

Which nanny would you choose?

If you had to pick a nanny based solely on the nannies style, which would you pick and why?

My partner hates me for not terminating

My partner and person I planned to marry told me they resented me yesterday for my decision. They didn’t come home today and turned on do not disturb to avoid me.

It wasn’t planned and when I found out I wasn’t thrilled but have grown to the idea. They however didn’t want and asked for a termination. I agreed initially but as I processed it decided against it.

Yesterday they sat me down and told me they didn’t want this and felt trapped. I told them I had debated being a single mother because I don’t want them to resent me for this decision and they don’t have to be a part of this if they didn’t want too. They told me they already resent me for this and we kind of left it at that.

Today they didn’t call me to check in or come home. They text me to say have a good evening but nothing else really. This is completely out of character for them and I feel this relationship is pretty doomed now.

The thing is I’m terrified of doing this alone. I know I have some friends and family who could support but the end of the day it will be just me. It’s weird being apart from them but I also think I’m going to have to get used to it. I also think if I terminated our relationship would never be the same regardless and I would grow to resent him.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What would you do?

Shows we're letting our kids watch?

I'm not too big on TV but my son does watch it sometimes while I'm doing chores. I've watched some of the stuff I used to watch as a kid recently and idk if I want my kid watching the same stuff. What do y'all let your kids watch? Put on for your kids? I have Disney plus and Netflix for Netflix kids

What gives men the audacity to approach women with such confidence?

I'll try to keep this story as short as I can. Hubby and I was out one morning, he started the gas pump and went in to get food while I stayed with the car and kids and watched the pump. I got out to sit with the gas pump and this other guy pulls in at the pump across from where I am. He was staring for awhile and I ignored him, then he says "I bet the wind is cutting right through those pants" (I was wearing ripped jeans for context) I did a nervous chuckle because I despise being approached, told him nah I'm good and focused back on the gas. It was done, I shut the lid and opened the door of my car, got the trash bag out and threw it away an as I turn around to get back in my vehicle he says "you can wrap your legs around me if you need to keep them warm" to which I promptly got in my vehicle locked thw doors and parked closer to the store. When hubby came out I told him what happened but the guy had already gone and they would not pull cameras for him. Hubby was ready to throw hands. This guy was probably 20-30 years older than I as well. Wtf gives these creeps the audacity to approach women all the damn time!
