Man problems

Guys idk what to do ive just had a baby with this man (my bf) we went on a night out with my sister and towards the end of the night we got her bf to take us back. My bf got very rude towards my sister bf and her and I called him out for it when we get home… he then started punching the walls and yelling and lowkey being emotionally manipulative. I didn’t want to sleep in the same bed as him due to this and he then got upset by this. Luckily my daughter as gone to stay at my parents for the night so she wasn’t here to witness this but idk what to do as I now have the fear maybe in the future do something to me or maybe harm himself. Idk what to do

Screen Time

Ok I’m seriously interested in how much screen time your toddlers get. TV, phone and iPad combined even if it is educational games or tv. My toddler does at least 4 sensory trays every day. We go on an outing. Spend hours on the garden digging, riding bikes etc. but I still feel like he gets too much screen time don’t know if I’m overthinking it.

Rant about husband

Can I ask how much your husband helps around on weekends? And I don’t just mean looking after the baby (almost 2), but also thinking about what needs to be done around the house etc.
We have one child almost 2 years old, husband works full time long hours 5 days a week and I work part time and sahm rest of the week. I don’t mind doing everything needed for the house during the week but I expect help of a proactive nature on the weekend. At the moment it feels like I have to ask several times for him to even take the bins out and it’s so exhausting having to ask him over and over to do anything around the house. Am I expecting too much or what can I do?

Kids that hit

I need to vent for a second because this really stayed with me today.

I was at the park with my daughter (she’s 22 months, so still really little) and she was playing on the slide. An older child, probably around 5 or 6, suddenly kicked her and then tried to push her. I told him to stop and his mum came over straight away, told him off and apologised, which I appreciated. I said it was fine because I know they’re kids.

But honestly, inside I felt so upset. What got me the most was that my daughter didn’t understand what was happening and kept saying “sorry” to him, like she thought she’d done something wrong for being hurt. That really annoyed me and made me feel worst

I removed her from the situation and carried on, but it stayed with me. I know children are still learning and I’m not blaming the child, but it was just hard to see my baby get hurt like that

Have any of you experienced something similar? I just want to know I’m not overreacting for feeling this upset about it

Too young?

i want to take my baby to the aquarium but he's only almost 3 months old. Would he be too young to enjoy it and see everything, should i wait until he's a little older or would it still be fun for him?

how can i leave him

how can i not have to rely on him anymore financially, like he’s never here he’s always at work but he’ll take the kids to school do shopping for me in the week take them to emergency appointments watch them if i need him to if i go out with family take me places stuff like that but the way he is he’s emotionally physically not there not supportive he’s a little bit controlling and sometimes maybe emotionally abusive i just don’t think we’ll be together forever but it doesn’t seem to be working either everytime we argue and the why doesn’t really matter here anyway, i just want to know how i’m supposed to figure out how to not rely on him for anything when he drives and has the money like atm i need him we have three kids idk what to do im so upset about it all😔

Mother’s Day vent

Im just needing a space to vent. I think im just being emotional for having high expectations for my first Mother’s Day. Me and my partner have been struggling a bit financially so I totally understand not being able to go all out but I feel like they aren’t even trying to make my first Mother’s Day special. When I asked what are you going to do for me I got “we have no money so I can’t do anything big..do you want cheap flowers?” And to me I don’t care about how expensive things are I care about intention! To me flowers are flowers and if I get any type of flowers followed by a happy Mother’s Day I’m going to appreciate it but instead I’m met with excuses. My family also knows I make a big deal out of any birthday or celebration but now that it’s my first Mother’s Day I think I expected for them to return the energy and that was also not met. I definitely know I set a high expectation but it still hurt my feelings when I’m being told “no nothing planned”. Just needed a space to let it out.
