Help me understand my frustration 🤣

Why is it when we ask men to do something (granted, not all men) they often tend to say they're 'coming' or they'll do it in a minute or something, and this just seems to piss me off 🤣 like, I'm not your mum to be asking you to do something right away, but still it annoys me that you can't just do the thing I asked, when I asked, so we can move on with life 🤣

Is it just me?

What is something you found out way later than you should have that no one bothered to teach you?

First, I didn’t know you were supposed to get full maintenance on your car every so often. I have owned a car for seven years now, and I’ve never had a full maintenance work over just normal oil changes and tire check. My dad was a literal mechanic and apparently did not think this was necessary information to pass along. We only found out when my sister’s car warranty, that should have been intact, was not because she didnt follow the “recommended maintenance schedule”.
Now just yesterday, I learned that you shouldn’t do too much laundry back to back if you have a septic tank. Apparently it could over run the system. I’ve lived here for like 16 years and this washing machine is almost always going 🤯

Smoothies

I use to give my children a (happy monkey) smoothie every day until I seen a video about the amount of sugar in them and how it's better for them to have fresh made smoothies even using frozen premade bags. After that I brought frozen bags an a blender.... It's been a week an then blender is still in the box 😬. I want to start doing it as they use to love smoothies but I don't know what I'm doing 😅. Can anyone help? I was going to ask on the video I watched but can't seem to find it anymore 😑 so not sure where to ask.

Birthday

It was my bday yesterday. We took my daughter to great wolf lodge for the weekend and I was happy to see her so happy all weekend. I am trying to not take that for granted. We check out day of my bday. Get home and my husband sleeps on the couch while I take screaming toddler and newborn to the store to get myself a cake. Then I come back and let him sleep. Its now 6pm and I tell him forget going out to eat lets just get take out im too tired at that point. It takes him till 8pm to get home with dinner. He did absolutely nothing all day for me. I cant help but feel so hurt. I am a twin so I never got my own bday cake growing up, so this just feels extra hurtful. Am I wrong to feel so hurt and unloved?

Potty training!?!?!

Has anyone got their babies to potty train at an early age? I got a little boy on the way and my 18 month old daughter just has to many diapers through out the day😩I want to potty train so bad but I’m unsure if it’s to early. She’s showing so many signs that she’s ready.

Ones who now have 2x babies/children

How are you finding things with the transition from 1 to 2?

I have a 2yr old boy and now a 11 day old boy.

Its quite surreal to think how different things are this time/atm. I feel like im doing alot more and going out more, ig took me a good 3mnths to leave the house with my 1st, I was out down the park the following day.

Its always such a rollercoaster with no textbook answers but is anyone in a similar situation?

Im hoping this is a positive thing and that things will just continue to get easier as the main thing is find daunting right now is nursery runs solo and having my toddler and newborn for full day or half days when not at nursery as im ebf and few friends have told me they just couldnt do it with a similar age gap, and im not sure how I will as our 2yr old is quite hard to contain unless he has your full attention I have some ideas to try keep him with me if need be whilst feeding but its still a little daunting

Im going to try the nursery run solo tomorrow with the boys to see how it goes 🤞

Help!

My little boy is just over 6 months and doesn’t really seem to do much. He has rolled maybe once nor does he have steady control of his head. I have also been trying to wean he hates any kind of food as soon as it touches his mouth he is sick is this something to be worried about? I didn’t have this with my littler girl
