Hear me out… tell me what you will do if you were me!!

You and your our husband both have a child before getting together and two together. The first child’s mother doesn’t want him to be involved in the child life because he has other kids from his wive and cause he got married and not to her. The child has been to the house only when it convenient for the mama. And only been around the other siblings about 3 times. As the wives I’ve tried to be the bigger person and help her as best as I could and not be nasty towards her. However, she has called DCF multiple times saying all kinds of nasty things. The child had choked our youngest child and beat on the other with different objects. The child is told he don’t have to listen to me or eat anything I cook. His dad with feed him and etc. he has broken my children game systems, ruined shoes and clothes, toys everything then tell his mom he’s being mistreated over here. When he get the same a my kids. The only thing is my kids have iPhones/ iPads and he has android and that’s bc I brought them not dad. Btw I can’t discipline him or he don’t have to follow house rules cause his mom say say so. The kids ages as follows oldest to youngest…. 11(mines), 8(his), 6(ours) and 5(ours). Hubby tries to play middle man and keep the peace but it’s becoming too much. On top of that the kids had graduation and prom on the same day different schools. 11 has graduation, 5 prom and 8 graduation all the same day. She wants him to come but not me and our kids. But want the gifts for him. I said if I can’t go I’m not giving anything or doing anything.. advice please mamas….

Potty training

My almost 3yr woke up with a full nappy as normal and then I changed him, 2 hours went by and his nappy was dry. So I asked if he wanted to go on his potty and he did a big wee.. put some little underwear on him for the first time and I ask 3/4 times an hour if he needs wee or poo and he sits and on potty and goes for a wee. From 10:30 this morning till 3 now, no accidents so far 🤞.
Is this now the time to do ‘ a week intensive potty training’? Any advise much appreciated
Thanks

He pisses me off

Honestly, I’m still with my baby daddy, we’re together and we live together. But this morning he got pissed off cause our son wouldn’t stay still while he tried changing him and I told him to let me do it. Then he gets mad saying “let me fucking do it” so I said fine do it then. He told me to change him and he stormed out the room slamming the bedroom door making our son cry, getting into his car and sped off. I’m really tired of his shit tbh, I’m so fucking done

Feel a bit like I’m going mad

Just feeling very overwhelmed now that I’m also trying to sleep train him day and night.. just feels like a full time job where I get literally 0 time to myself to do anything ever … don’t even end up eating lunch till like 4 and it’s always rushed and mostly breast feeding at same time, not relaxed on me own, and whenever he does fall asleep it might be 10 mins it might be an hour on a good day - I just run around rushing trying to do the dishwasher, go into town to buy stuff for lunch or dinner, do washing up, do baby’s or my laundry, tidy the place as constantly messy, my own personal to do lists never have time to get done and I just wonder when this sacrifice of my own time will end. I also am dying to do some sort of good exercise like a gym class or something but when the hell can I go!

Potty training??

So my little one is 15 months old, and she’s really starting to show an interest in the potty/toilet.
She’s been sitting on the potty each day and weeing, at least once or twice. And nappy changes have become increasingly difficult and she gets very upset whenever she poos and wants to be changed IMMEDIATELY.
Do I now just bite the bullet and potty train?? Or is it still too early??
Any advice welcome, please and thank you x

Constantly cleaning

Does anyone ever feel like they're constantly cleaning? I'm pregnant with my 3rd and feel like I'm constantly cleaning stuff 😫 I'll get my kitchen clean, then move to the living room while I got laundry going just for my boys to mess up another room In the house. Does anyone have a cleaning schedule or something that helps them? Hubby's out west for work, back tomorrow evening for 10 days before leaving again so I'll be able to catch up while he's here, but just feel like there's no way to stay on top of it with this pregnancy. Any tips is appreciated
