Are we letting children watch the old Disney movies?

Movies like Pocahontas, Jungle Book, Peter Pan and Pinocchio. I know there is a lot in movies like these that is controversial but I grew up on these and wondering if I should just let my 3 year old watch the old Disney movies. My favorite was Fox and Hound but watching it as an adult gives me a take I didnt realize as a kid.

My husband keeps cheating on me and I can’t leave

I don’t know what’s wrong with me… he cheats on me constantly and I know I should leave. I know I deserve better. I know he’s a loser and piece of shit and everything anyone could possibly say to me, I already know. Yet I look at him and I see the only family I’ve ever known. I see all the times he’s held me during my panic attacks. I see my whole life sitting in front of me, everything I worked so hard for. And now it’s all crumbling and broken. It’s like I want to believe in him so much because I’ve always put all my trust in him, and now I just feel like I don’t who he is anymore or even who I am for staying… this isn’t me. Yet I can’t bring myself to go.

Mil’s comment-how to handle

It was my child’s birthday over the weekend, and I planned it all. From the handmade food signs, themed food items, themed drinks, signs, everything. While I was cutting the fruit into shapes, my MIL came over and mumbled “thats cute, I just couldn’t be bothered with the effort or wasting my time” …. like okay… I didn’t ask her to help, for her opinion, or to pay for anything so like wtf. I felt like it was a super unnecessary backhanded comment to make to the mother of her grandchildren… the others all said it was wonderful and creative, all nice things. So am I wrong for thinking this was super rude on her part? Or am I misunderstanding the situation?

Why daddy why !!!!

I have a 3-month-old baby, and I’m managing everything on my own—cleaning, cooking, laundry, and breastfeeding day and night. I barely even get time to comb my hair.

I can handle the work, but what hurts is what I’m not getting in return—no love, no hugs, no affection, no appreciation, no understanding.

He talks to the baby, but not to me. I’ve started staying quiet because whenever I try to say something, it turns into shouting, and I don’t want that environment for my baby.

Sometimes it feels like I’m completely invisible. People often say women become “too strong” or “too masculine,” but no one sees what pushes them to that point.

Im a single mom of 2 (one with autism) and I pay 452 every Monday for daycare and I just realized how "badazz" i am. Most times I just feel broke.

I doordash 25 hours a week in addition to a full time job.

How to support partner through career change.

Hi mamas! I’m a SAHM and having a hard time being supportive of my husband’s new path. I felt more excited for him when he first started and now that this shift has landed us at my in laws with another year of being here, I’m starting to go crazy. He studies a lot and I genuinely feel ok with giving him the space he needs to. And he is so helpful when he’s available. The hard part is when he’s not. His parents are elderly and his dad has said he has not patience to help with the kids. I can’t count with 1 finger the time he helped for 5 minutes before leaving back to his room. His mom is sweet and has a bunch of health issues and depression, so she stays in her room for about 20 hours a day. It’s depressing to watch and nothing I can do about it. I have a 3&4 year old and the preferred parent. That means, mama is wanted during morning and bedtime routines. I barely have time, 5-15 minutes to myself and that’s some days. And all this overwhelm is directed at the only person in my life that is there for me and helps me with our boys. Any advice? I’d love to find a part time job but that’s not an option for me right now.. sigh!

Separation anxiety

Anyone else’s baby at peak clinginess? I put him down, cries. Sat next to me, cries. Sits him between my legs, cries. I try to eat, cries. Making him a bottle, cries. High chair, cries. Put him in sidecar cot, cries. He will be sat on his daddy’s knee not even a foot away from me screaming the house down.
Unless he is physically on me he cries or throws a tantrum. The clinginess is insane worse the last 3 days, I can’t even go to the toilet just me, he has to sit on my knee. My god I need a shower 😭
My god I love him to the end of the earth but I’m so overstimulated, touched out is an understatement, I’m on the verge of tears.
I’m honoured but at the same time I just need a break
