30 hours free childcare

I have some serious baby brain right now, and I’ve read this over and over and am still unsure! I don’t want to do it wrong and then not get the funding! Picture attached below - mums on maternity leave (SMP) what did you pick? Yes or no? Technically no I’m not earning that much as SMP doesnt pay that much, but my normal job would pay over that and I’m due to go back in 2 months. Help please!

Wants a dna test

Sooo, today I had my anatomy scan(thank god everything went well, especially with baby) but once again dad couldn’t make it.
I told him about it the day before and told him I was leaving my mom’s house at a specific time, either meet me at my house or the hospital, left me on read and never came. He then got the nerve to ask why I didn’t call him. Well one I was up all night finishing my hair by myself, rushing out the house, sleep deprived, and I told you when to come so that’s on you, not me.
Anyways , I told him why and apparently he didn’t like what he heard so now he’s talking about he wants a dna test. I’m gonna give him what asked for and im breaking things off with him. Not because I’m guilty but because I’m tired off always being accused or the identity our baby being a topic every time he doesn’t get his ways.

Idk what to do🤷🏽‍♀️

Hey so I have 2 kids, my son just turned 4 in March and my daughter is 19 months. We live in apartments on the 3rd floor and we just moved in about a month ago. Our downstairs neighbors are constantly banging on the ceiling when my kids are playing and don’t get me wrong i understand kids stomping all day can be annoying so I try to minimize them running or doing things that make stomping noises and I feel bad because they can’t play how they want in there own home and my kids don’t stomp at crazy hours like I’m able to hold them off till like maybe 3 or 4 in the afternoon and go to bed at 9pm but they don’t stomp that whole time. So idk if i should maybe write them a letter explaining I have two little kids or am i wrong when they stomp at all?

I’m exhausted

I have a 3 month old and I’m the only one that wakes up with him in the night. My bf works 6am-2pm and he is the provider but when he gets home he doesn’t do anything. Like I do everything by myself, laundry, cooking, bathing the kids etc. I get it he works but that shouldn’t stop him from doing stuff at home. Then he wants me to work on top of school and on top of the kids. It just seems like the mom’s load is never ending while he’s free to do anything.

Am I in the wrong?

My husband was in a really bad car accident. They weren’t sure if he was going to make it. He got life flighted and needed multiple surgeries. When I got the call, I was so scared. I packed the kids up and went straight to the hospital, where we stayed until they made us leave, and then I got us a motel near the hospital so we could be there in the morning. In the morning the news wasn’t good and this was when they spoke about life flighting him 3 hours away. I called my mom and asked her to take the kids for the night so I could be there with him. For the duration we were in the hospital, I had the routine of taking the kids to school, driving back to the hospital, staying until 5pm and then leaving to be home by 8 to get the kids to bed. From 5-8 (when their school/aftercare ends to when I got them) they were safe at my mom’s house playing and watching movies. This routine went for 3 days, because then the weekend hit and we all went to the hospital and colored/played bored games in his hospital room with my husband who was in recovery, awake, and in surprisingly good spirits.

Anyways, my mom ended up texting me as we were being discharged and told me she feels I chose my husband over my kids. She said if I was taking a whole week off of work I should’ve been taking them places and having fun with my kids. She says there was no reason for me to have been in that hospital because I’m not a doctor, and he had professionals taking care of him. She believes I failed my kids, and accused me of not loving them. She said it’s so sad I chose a man over my children (my dying husband and father of my children, to be clear). I told her she was being ridiculous and she flipped out more. Now every day since we’ve gotten home, she texts me calling me a horrible mother and saying I need to leave my husband because he’s a “loser” now that he’s can’t walk so he can’t provide for us. She accuses me of not loving kids daily, makes threats to take them from me, and says I don’t protect them or do my job as a mother.

To add more context here, I’m a good fucking mom. People always compliment me for how I handle situations. I am involved in the school, I sit at every single soccer practice/dance practice/ recital/ music lesson, etc. I encourage all their dreams. We have family movie nights and game nights and they have everything they need in life. Full bellies, showers, warm beds, and a loving home.

So what would you have done? Was I wrong?

Feeling unsupported

My husband works a lot. I'm a new mom. He only helps when I ask him and sometimes he acts so put out when I ask. I am thankful that he works and that I get to stay at home with our baby but am I selfish for wanting a little help everyday? He was throwing it in my face that he held our baby for 3 hrs total today (keep in mind it was not all at once & this is not an everyday thing). Also, it was because I had to work on stuff for the baby (like laundry, installing baby stuff, ect).
