Do anyone else feel like your an aggressive parent? And you have to be because the other parent is more soft than you? I don’t know I currently have a 4 year old , a 9 year old , 9 month old and currently pregnant with another boy! And my boys are ROUGH I love my babies but their “ BOYS “ constantly fighting constantly crying constantly breaking things constantly talking back and the list goes on I feel like I can’t be the soft loving parent at times or instead of yelling I can’t sit and just have a talk becasue it doesn’t work AT ALL my house is never quiet and dad is the complete opposite of me he HARDLY gets onto them for their wrong doings and his baby them which is fine at times but there are times where discipline is needed etc etc and I have to be that parent and it sucks.

Mum guilt (help)

I just want to open up that I’ve been feeling a bit pressured when it comes to playing with my baby. It can tire me out, and I sometimes feel guilty when I put him in his bouncer or on his playmat. I feel like I always have to be playing with him or doing tummy time, and I end up stressing about how to entertain him or what’s best for his development

Do you have any apps, YouTube links, or blogs you use for baby activities?

What are you all experiencing? Do you feel the same way?

What activities can I do? I need to get medals for stuff lol but I can't run

What can I do?

I was an athlete as a kid but as I got older my joints got inflamed and fibromyalgia kicked in and I can't even run 5mins without blowing up like a blowfish

What can I do that can get me medals but is not running LMAO

Vent sesh- Do your MILs think your husband (26M) is their husband and have a weird obsession with your baby(5mF)?

I understand the bond between a grandmother and her grandchildren is sacred and well as a mother with her child...But do your MILs think your husband is their husband or have a weird obsession with/comparing themselves to your child?

Husband:
-She will call him every other day asking about his whereabouts and if he's okay. (Used to be everyday but he had to tell her to chill out) And if she doesn't get a response from him (he ignores her) she'll call or text me to see about him and have him call her.

-Calls him to vent about his siblings and his fathers (biological and adopted dads) or about any friend or family drama she's going through. And when she was working would call and tell him about her day.

-Tries to memorize his sleep/work schedule. To anticipate when to call him or stop by to see the baby. (Yes she feels like he has to be here to see her grandchild)

-Constantly bragging about him on social media even though he has 3 other siblings. (Yes he's the oldest 🙄 go figure)

My daughter:
-Since the sonogram she has expressed that she hopes my daughter came out looking like her. (She didn't lol) She would send me her baby pictures and and would even say her legs in the sonogram looked like hers. Anything my baby does now like how she sleeps, eats, chews on her fingers, sits.... She swears she had the same mannerisms.(Midn you I did the same things as a baby and was just thinking it's a baby thing but 🤷🏾‍♀️) And whenever she starts going on I just smile and say okay out of respect for my husband. Meanwhile my husband is spacing out and not even listening so him butting in doesn't happen. Whenever she visits she hyper fixates on my baby girl so much so her daughter (7F yes 7) starts to get upset. She'll tell my baby that she's just soooo beautiful and that she loves her so much about 100 times in 1 hour (I wish I was exaggerating) and then when my little sister in law wants to ask a question she'll ignore her. (Of course if I catch on that she's being ignored I pause everything and make sure she is heard)

She's mentioned that she feels like her daughter takes after her dad and that she sees herself in her sometimes and I guess that where the "obsession" (IMO) stems from but that's a her/therapy problem. I used to not feel a way about everything but now I'm getting annoyed. Anyone going through anything similar or am I overreacting?

Grandparents babysitting

When you have your parents or your child's other grandparents babysit them, do you share the routine and schedule or do you just allow them to do whatever or do you do like a half and half?
