Stuck in the house

Has anyone else struggled to get out the house. I have no motivation to go out and I feel so sorry for my daughter. My partner is always working I struggle with anxiety people keep telling me to just do it but I am so worried something will happen to my baby if I don’t go with someone else to the point I just stay in. My non parent friends drifted away from me, my partner seems to always be busy. I feel lonely I ask for him to take me out to get me out the house and he promises but never does. I know it’s not his responsibility it’s mine too but I just need help from him. I’ve tried baby groups but never end up even getting to the door.

Yes! I got soo deep into the Epstein files and it consumed every part of me.. I lived in deep anxiety to where I couldn’t drive for awhile BUT I told myself to just do it. You won’t be able to until you convince yourself YOU are her protector, do your best to be aware of your surroundings. Control what you can! And don’t forget to have fun with your little, they feel everything YOU feel.
Once I got out of my funk I’ve been able to take my girl to 2 types of play groups during the week and the park on Saturdays. She doesn’t leave my side and people likely see me as a helicopter mom but being right there makes me feel safer about being out and about.

Yes !!!!!!🙌🏼 yes. Absolutely yes. I just happened to scroll past this. Been in a funk. Feel like it’s so hard to make friends. And I’m kind of a homebody. So I can relate

How about just a walk around the block or to a park? I actually go out more when I’m in a funk and I ignore cleaning the house and chores. I wish I would stay home and do the chores lol. I’m in a funk currently and leave with my daughter all the time.

Again something I never thought my daughter would like

I gave her one because she kept staring at me eating. She's had 5 since. She's 10.5 months. My 3 yo refused to even eat the rice because it touched a chip.

Meal ideas

What’s your baby’s favourite meal? I need new ideas

Tell me this isn't a normal convo between hubby and wife..

Please read before voting cause I'm mega pissed off!! We were having a convwrsation about ticktock which lead to his favourite person (a woman with an Of account & 2 kids under 30 apparently)

Me: well she's young she can eat what she likes and burn it off. When you hit 30, game over (from experience)
Him: not everyone restricts themselves like you
Me: I just don't eat that much
Him: well shes had two kids and still looking fine.. *smirk*
Me: 😒
Him: truth..
Me: wtf!! You can't say stuff like that with that smirk and not expect me to kick off..
Him: you're over reacting again..
Me: any woman would be annoyed..

And so the conversation turned into an argument about him being wrong and said he prefers younger looking women than his 34yr old wife who is a size 6 UK BTW

Are men just stupid or what?? When doesn't he realise that it's not okay to talk like this to people when he's obsessed with ticktock??

Living in a flat with little ones

For those of you who live in a flat, do you use the communal garden as your 'garden' and if so what's your set up like? Just need some inspo🥰

Husband is a jerk

Tell me if this is ridiculous.

We took our son to the park this morning because I wanted to get out of the house. My husband is always starting at his computer, he woke up late (it’s a Saturday), I made breakfast, got my son up, changed his diaper, cleaned the kitchen.

We made plans with my sister in law to meet up an hour away to get our kids together. After we get home from the park, we have 25 minutes until we need to leave. I’m packing snacks, feeding our toddler, trying to get everything ready to go while my husband sits on his computer and makes himself a smoothie. I have to tell him to let his dog out and to pack the diaper bag. Mind you, I told him I needed to get my makeup on and pack up my lunch.

He doesn’t care he goes to the bathroom and gets himself ready.

I’m pissed. I’m tired of delegating and mothering. I said we just wouldn’t go. And he says he’s just going to go without me even though I’m the one who wants to get out and see people, packs things up and gets everyone ready.

Am I the asshole or is he?

BLW rice

Has anybody given rice yet? We are having a rice dish for tea and baby is just short of 9 months, which the solid starts app says from 9 months they can be served rice as it comes (cooked of course). How is everyone else serving it?
