Sick to death of repeating myself and being ignored by family

I’ve asked my family multiple times now not to give my nearly 20 month old milk, she was diagnosed with CMPA at 6 weeks and instead of listening to me, they told me she didn’t have it etc etc. Fast forward to weaning and it was the threats of giving her milk and food with milk in, then it was family feeding her foods that she couldn’t tolerate without me knowing but everyone else did and now my sister gave her a Freddo chocolate with caramel today and within 3 hours she’s had 2 dirty nappies and is sore and isn’t happy. I’ve asked time and time again not to give her milk and I’ve constantly been ignored. I’ve booked a holiday for next month for myself, my sister and both my daughters but I know if I’m not listened to and she’s given milk this’ll happen again and it’ll end in an argument and it’s my first holiday with my girls so what do I do?

If they dont respect you or your boundaries you need to go cut that out sorry but this is for your child's well being. Ive had to cut some people off due to some things where they haven't listened and clearly dont care enough to. Its not easy, but for the sake of my kids wellbeing I had to. I wish you luck, again I know it won't be easy but you've got to do what you've got to do! I hate this situation for you! X lay it out to them, dont listen? Dont get to be in situations (alone with my child) where able to do such things.

Is a rockit worth it?

Baby will immediately wake up as soon as I stop walking/moving the pram. Does the rockit really work? Just want some opinions as they’re so expensive!

I’m not ok…

I’m one week postpartum and I’m not ok.
I’ve been crying for days now.
I have so much on my plate rn.
I’m just mentally not ok. I wanna do what’s best for my boys but it seems like to everyone else I’m not doing enough. I feel guilty cuz my twins are in NICU. I’m on leave from my job with no pay. I know my house is a mess since I was in the hospital for almost 3 months. Trying to find somewhere to live to as there is no space in my apartment anymore. Trying to find a work from home job so I can be with my babies. I also have BPD which is not helping at all…
I just…
I’m just not ok and just keep it to myself.

Does your spouse or partner…

Hi. So this might sound dumb to some, idk. I’m not here to argue.
Anyways, my partner got me a sex toy, he said it’s an early Mother’s Day present. He has always been against me having toys, in fact he broke one! So he said this is because you think I broke yours.
So me being shocked figured there was more to the story. I asked him what he got. First answer he said nothing, then I asked him again, he said he got something. So once we got back to the house I was curious. It was what I think is a pocket p.
So it could flip to a vagina or a butthole. Anyways, the reviews I read on them says they feel real. Obviously I’m not a guy so I’m not 100% sure if it does or not to a guy. Anyways, I’m wondering if we will have less sex now since he’s content doing things to himself? No I’m not trying to control his masterbation, I’m trying to figure out if my life will be affected sexual wise by his choices. Been with him over 5 years so I’m sure it does feel amazing to him.

Anyone have any experience dealing with this type of thing?

Breastfeeding or Bottle

Im only 17 weeks pregnant (first baby) and just come back from seeing the midwife. Shes given me loads of booklets and information on breastfeeding and talked about it alot in our catch-up.

I can see the health benefits for baby & me, but i still dont feel its something i want to do? They made me feel like if i dont breastfeed i wont bond with my baby and like i’m going to be a bad mum right from the start!

How many of you have bottle fed formula from birth and do you have any reassurance this is perfectly ok to do?!

In the trenches right now!

Omg post C-section is so hard. I’m 2 weeks PP.
My 4yo is being utterly unbearable the last few days, hubby is off work for a while so able to entertain him but he’s also doing shopping, cleaning and helping me & baby.

I’m breastfeeding constantly. Trying to take it easy and recover whilst running on 3/4 hours sleep 🙈 it’s just all too much. My 4yo just keeps having meltdowns , screaming and crying at the slightest thing upsetting baby when she’s asleep and acting really spoilt. He’s not listening to much & I’m annoyed I can’t do more, the house is a total mess, laundry up to our eyeballs, not much outside help as we live over an hour away from family. When does it get easier!?
