Anyone else deal with unsupportive family?

My dad is really against me homeschooling my kiddos. Im just trying it out for the kindergarten year for my daughter and he makes it seem like im going to mess up her whole life... im not even so sure he researched anything. Think he is just like "not how id do it, your wrong to. Go ahead mess up your kids" and that just sucks. Anyone else deal with this? If so what did you do about it??

My mom does that to me and honestly it is what is best for MY family. I told my mom straight up it is what I want to do and that just because it's not traditional in her mind doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

I honestly haven’t told my family that’s what we plan to do yet. I know my mom will judge me for it too. I’m keeping it quiet while I gather info, research, and plan as much as possible so when the endless interrogation starts I have answers for everything. And if I don’t have an answer “because it’s what’s best for us” will suffice.

He needs to respect your choice that’s not his child he doesn’t have a say that’s like one thing about my mom I had to straight up tell her that at one point and she got it

Do you have 2 or more boys? Make me feel like I’m not alone…. Pls!!!

Im a mum of 3 boys ages - 5, 9 & 10
(also have a 5 month old girl ;)
My boys send me CRAZY!
I feel it’s on a daily basis with their fighting amongst themselves (whether physical or verbal), constant sh””t stirring or even just bullying each other. It’s like pecking order, oldest fights with the middle child then middle child does the same to the youngest. Not a day goes by that they’re not at each other.
Im going insane!!! Same sh””t every day…. Leave him alone, don’t speak to each other like that, thats his give it back, keep your hands to yourself, don’t do that again, why did you have to hurt him, apologise, can’t you all just be nice to one another. Im like a broken record. It never f””kin ends!!!!!!

Will it ever end!??? How do you cope or handle your boys, is it the same at your house?

Separation

My BD really isn’t shit and as of this Sunday will make two weeks since we’ve been separated. My home is finally at peace but at times it definitely feels weird and me and baby girl just have to get readjusted without him in the house. I feel stupid to even miss him but do I even miss him as a partner or just the extra helping hand in the house. Either way this separation needed to happen I was unhappy and he’ll never admit it but his actions showed, you know when a man don’t want you no more. I’m just ready to get out of this “what could I have done differently stage” and stop blaming myself. I just don’t know where to start tbh. Any advice would be useful to get me out this funk. Thank you guys!

Help🥲

Me and my “partner” are going through a huge shift in our relationship and we’ve both decided it’s best if we split.
We have 2 young children (3&1) and both names on our mortgage that we’ve only had for a couple of years.
I work part time due to minimal childcare & he is the bread winner and provides for most things; we do both pay towards mortgage & bills though.
How would we go about the mortgage? I cannot afford it alone and I currently don’t get any help from the government as he earns too much (it goes off household).
How would I eventually get the help I worry I’ll struggle until I get this? I can’t work more hours due to no childcare around us.
It really is so important I get this all sorted asap for a smooth transition for the children and for my own mental health as staying in this relationship is draining and it’s affecting my parenting.

In your opinion Which ps4 game is better for kids?

So me and my sister were debating on which video game is better for kids to play. We let our kids play the video games yes, not asking about that just your opinion on which is a better option.
I let my son play GTA just driving around he dosent play the story mode. My nepws don’t play
Fort night, my kids don’t really play, my nephews are pros
Roblox just my nephew play
Minecraft just my nephew
They are all around the same age 4 5 6

Accidents

So I have my sister staying with us for a couple weeks. She has an 8 year old and he has frequent accidents. He poops his pants every day and just sits in it. Then lies that he didn’t and doesn’t want to clean himself up. Even if she’s around he still is just walking around like that. I’ve had to constantly clean the couches and bathroom and really everything. Including the washing machine . I mean I woke up one morning and there was poop on the kitchen floor!!! Like I have a 1 year old that’s not ok. I don’t know what to do.
