Please tell me I’m not alone

Is anyone else getting so tired of the older generation? Thinking that they are the mom of your baby and also thinking that you are still a kid and not someone that is almost in their 30s. Everything my husband and I do is soooo wrong.
They talk to us like we are kids and the minute we try to standup for ourselves and be the parents to our baby we are considered the bad guy

You are not alone. I’m sorry that you are having to go through that. If I could be more helpful I would. I’m still trying to speak up more as well.

Yes! I fought with this with my first so bad. My in laws were absolutely awful. It got to the point I almost left my fiance cause I just couldn’t handle it anymore. They’d say “we never said you aren’t good parents because yall are but…” well then let me parent????! When we had our second kid it calmed down a lot and things are WAY better. I did send a very long message of basically either change or you’re out we aren’t putting up with it anymore.

Yes!!! I’m 20 so younger but my mother in law is horrible at trying to mother my child and tell me how I “should” do it.
You’re definitely not alone! I’ve even had older people approach me in a store telling me how I should parent 😅 mind you she was in her car seat asleep, they just asked how old and gave me “parenting” advice lol

It so sad that multiple mamas can relate to this and my mil says she understands what I go through and then when I do things a certain way she just becomes a smart ass and I just learned to not let anyone do anything and I keep my mouth shut.

Plus if I wanted parenting advice I would ask but I’ve seen some people parenting and not impressed

SAHD

My husband is a stay at home dad and it works well for us. He was laid off before baby was born and hasn’t been able to find a new position. It was an adjustment at first, to him, not being the “provider” but now he enjoys it. And I enjoy it too because I can concentrate at a work knowing baby is in good hands.

Feeling a bit lonely.

Looking for a mom friend who loves Jesus, is a SAHM (or understands that season), and enjoys simple life things—being outside, nature, baking, cooking, and cozy home days. Easygoing, kind, loves animals, and values a real, low-pressure friendship. Can vent without feeling judged. We don't have to like or agree with the same things. We can support one another. I just have been feeling a bit lonely that I don't have friends I can constantly text about anything. Idk if it's just a season or if anyone else feels the same way.

These past few days I had a conversation with my partner and I told him that we needed to spend more quality time together and try to have more sex. It turns out that yesterday we had an intimate moment, but I have a slight impression that he took a pill for an erection.

My question is, if that were the case, should I feel bad because he needs that to get aroused? Or maybe because of the pressure of “we have to do it,” he decided to take it?

It makes me wonder if that were true, does it mean there’s a lack of attraction toward me? What do you think?
