A Real Safety Concern

I’ve been dealing with this since birth. My daughter is 3 now, and my husband never puts her in the car seat correct. He only clips the chest harness without buckling the bottom clip between her legs.
It honestly terrifies me because car seat safety is not something I can “hope” is being done correctly. I stressed it so much it’s to the point he won’t put her in the car to avoid buckling her up. Or I notice he will just sit her in the seat and tell me to buckle her up. Wtf is that about!?

Now every time I buckle her in, I count the clicks out loud and say “Safety first” hoping it sticks. So she can get on him about it.

Idk what to do or say. What do if they go out without me?

Is he a controlling A hole in any other way?

Does he need to be shown how to do it?

Sorry. I don’t mean to be aggressive but wtf. I’m so sorry he’s behaving like this.

What possible excuse does he use as to why he refuses to strap his child in correctly in the car seat???

That is unbelievably reckless! It is completely understandable that you are both extremely worried and pissed off about this. Next time you go somewhere stand there and make him do it while you watch. In fact, do it every single time. I'd be sending him crash test videos before every car trip. On the other side of things, 3 is a great time to teach your daugther how to to buckle herself in. It will take a while, but her hands are getting strong enough now. Start planning for extra time for her to practice when you're going somewhere just the two of you and tell her it's the first thing we do every time you get in the car. I hope your husband has other good qualities, because yikes 😬

Men are dumb sometimes

Hi ladies
Honestly my husband does things that truly baffle me.

So tomorrow we have an estate agent coming to our home to value it and take pictures. You best believe I’ve just cleaned and organised that house from top to bottom. He knew I was doing this as I started work late on purpose so that I had the time. You would think he’d have the common sense to hide my birthday present wouldn’t you.

I mean don’t get me wrong I’m grateful I’ve even got a present coming my way but it was literally just sat, BOX OPEN for all to see in our spare bedroom. 😑🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

How can a man be so thoughtful but so dumb all at the same time.

*sigh*

Now I’m gonna have to do my absolute stellar acting performance to make out like I’ve not seen it and I’ll have to act really surprised on my birthday.

Men!

Am I been a psycho.

My husband has always been the type of guy to big me up, tell me I’m beautiful when I look like a troll and make me feel better about myself, he never ever looks at other girls, he’ll look away at nude scenes and if I make a compliment about something he won’t bite or anything.

Currently 25 weeks pregnant and measuring huge, feeling insecure, been talking about monjaro and stuff once baby is born

Anyways, today I’ve gone on his phone to show him something I wanted ( mine was changing ) and a message popped up from a work friend ‘ can’t do anything outside of work ‘ so I was curious to what had happened, and bad wife award, I snooped.
Anyways I end up seeing and I’m absolutely raging.
I’m more annoyed at the fact he has NEVER been that guy but he seems very influenced by a guy who he speaks to at work. I know there celebs and he would never stand a chance but just the fact I’m feeling so down and ugly and he’s literally making comments about other girls has me in tears and feeling sick.
Can I just blame the hormones 😞

Feeling guilty..

I’ve recently had my second baby and it’s made me realise how ready my 4yo is to go to school.

I found it quite easy when it was just me and him. I’m a SAHM and he only goes to preschool 9 hours a week which I coped with fine like we would do lots together but now I’ve got another little one to consider and raise I feel like I need a break from him more than ever & that makes me feel really awful.

Is this normal? I feel like a bad mum like it seems I’m trying to get rid of him but I just find having both of them all day together ALOT.
How did you find the transition from 1 - 2 kids?

Is anyone else being baby led?

I keep reading how lots of mums are trying to get their baby into what seems like a military routine with feeding, naps, and bedtime. Am I the only one who is letting my baby do his thing, and I go with him ? I feel a little lost. It has been 11 years since my last

Excuses

My partner keeps using the excuse that 'he wont be here when hes back in work' to either get out of doing something or because ive called him out for not doing something or doing something wrong.

How do I deal with this because on one hand it upsets me because I feel like he saying I'm going to be an incompetent mum, even though i know im not and ive done days by myself in and out the house but on the other hand (like ive said to him) while hes here im going to use him for help/to do his part because why take time off if hes not going to use it to be a dad and help.
