Anyone else feel their partner just doesn’t get it??

We’re dog sitting at my father in laws and my partner has just started shouting at me because I woke him up as my son just threw up all over the place. He’s called me the a**hole because he was asleep both me and my son were covered in sick and now he’s told me to not go anywhere near him because I woke him up… he’s currently bathing our son but told me he doesn’t know what my problem is and why I just couldn’t deal with it all by myself.

But yesterday he woke me up because he didn’t know what to do as our son felt warm…

Does anyone else’s partner just not get it….

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

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.

Being called mama

Ok so idk if I’m being dramatic or not but my mom and her husband thought it was funny to teach my 20 month old my first name instead of mamma. So now instead of him calling me mama he says my first name and they think it’s the funniest thing me I really don’t. Short background my mom begged for my son to call her husband grandpa because I didn’t like him growing up nd he never took on the role of stepdad just pretty much roommate with me and my siblings. So for her to beg and then teach him my name like it makes it more infuriating. Let me know if I’m being dramatic or not please cause imma bout to go off lol.

Mother’s Day

Anyone else’s partner get so worked up about Mother’s Day?
He asked what I wanted and I said basically time to sleep in and get up leisurely, he takes the baby, helps with meals and just acts as the primary parent for that day. I didn’t say I would even leave the house, but it would be nice to.
He’s so stressed tonight, saying he doesn’t do well with her and managing her right now and trying to do everything else on top of it. He says he wants me to have a nice day but feels like my expectations are too high and what I’m asking for is better suited for an older child who is more independent.
We have a 1.5 year old. Idk, am I asking too much for one day to not carry the mental load, not do dishes or laundry and let him attend to her needs?

Was just about to go to softplay but baby is screaming the car down so ive bailed and said I may aswell just stay at home glued to the sofa with him and sent my hubby off with our toddler

Now sat in tears because im so fed up and cant help but wish we never had another now 😭

The father of my kids wants to have a redo on mother's Day tomorrow because of his bad behaviour today..I'm not interested

We decided to go for lunch today and take the children to a play place afterwards to celebrate mother's Day today because we thought it might be less busy at restaurants than tomorrow. From the moment I opened my eyes he was yelling at our daughter to shut the f up because she needed her diaper changed and needed breakfast. We get to the restaurant and our son who is non verbal was vocalizing a bit. He wasn't super loud and nobody seemed to care and it was fine. He starts yelling at him to shut up. That makes our daughter cry who then he starts getting angrier. I told him to relax, and he said shut up you stupid bitch. So mother's Day is ruined. Every day that isn't about him especially if it's for me goes badly every single time. Then he starts saying we are embarassing, he's the issue. I told him he could go sit in the van because me and the kids were going to eat. He says he will uuber home I said go ahead. He doesn't leave. Most of the food came out but not his entree. More pouting, swearing, general bad behavior. It must have been noticable because the server asked 3 times if everything was ok. He eventually got his food. We ate in silence because I'm just done. I took the kids to play like planned and he doesn't understand why he'd have to come and look after his own kids. Angry they don't have the right coffee. I told him I'm sorry he feels he's more important than everyone else and the jerk agrees he is more important. I had to use the toliet and I told him he would have to watch the kids. I get out of the washroom and my daughter is playing unattended in a different room. I stayed with her and he didn't even look for her for 30 mins. Glad he cares his toddler didn't get outside on the road or kidnapped. Came home and he went straight to the video games. I'm relieved at this point because he can just stay away from us so we can try to enjoy the day. Comes out later and blames the day because he missed his pills (I'm assuming he means antidepressants) and we will go out for lunch again tomorrow. He does not apologize to anyone. I don't want to go for lunch. His behavior today already confirms he doesn't respect me or want to celebrate me. I'm very disappointed.
