I missed my son’s daycare Mother’s Day celebration. Am I a failure?

I am so upset. I missed my son’s party at his daycare and worst of all because I was sleeping I even took the day off to go. I broke my ankle and got surgery on Feb 11th and I was just diagnosed with CPRS. It’s a condition where you’re in pain all day. I’m getting nerve blocks in my spine on the 15th. I have been working 10 hour days at work to get a promotion that my job hired external. I am DRAINED I feel like an absolute failure mostly as a mother. I have been crying all day. My husband made my Mother’s Day weekend so special. We went to the poconos for the weekend, stayed in a hotel, drove around to look at the view of the mountains got tattoos went out to lunch and dinner and we came home early this morning so I can spend time with my babies and my husband is doing this huge cookout for all the moms in our lives. It’s a perfect weekend and I just want to cry.

What do i do ?

Ladies please help! My boy is almost 8 months old and is still on pureed/lumpy foods. Any time i go to give him something more solid i have a complete anxiety attack, my legs go like jelly and my heart hammers out of my chest. Hes gagged twice before when i tried to give him toast and another time when I gave him on of them melty sticks, it foesnt help that hes a rammer ans shoves it all into his mouth.I just tried him with cucumber sticks, he was fine but I was thay scared I felt like I was going to pass out. I just cant do it. Am I depriving him if I dont give him finger foods/ affecting his development? He loves his food and eats a massive variety, its just spoon fed to him. What can I do to make this better?

Fml

Feel so shit, got a 2yr old & a 2wk old and literally hate the newborn stage so much.

Pist off my toddler only wants my hubby since hes been on paternity leave and wont let me do anything

Newborn just wants to be on the boob all the time restricting what I can do and time i spend with toddler

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 😭

No interest in difficult things

My son has just turned 4 and I’m finding it incredibly difficult. He has no interest in learning things that are slightly difficult for him. Gives up instantly no matter what I try to do to motivate him to try.

It’s mostly athletic/sporty things. Won’t kick a ball back and forth or football, learn to catch, float or swim. Definitely won’t try to learn to ride a bike, we’ve tried a balance bike but the balancing scared him. So tried a tricycle so the balancing isn’t an option but barely tries to push the pedals.

Honestly it’s starting to get me upset. Is this normal for his age? Anyone have any tips? Should I just ride it out? 😂

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….

Is it time to end the marriage?

My husband and I can’t get along. We don’t share the same interests. I’m a bookworm and he’s a party man who loves to drink on the weekends. We tried to get along. We tried for years. I’ve been begging him to even talk to me since we got married and I’ve been settling for the bare minimum. He can’t even look me in the eyes when he talks to me. He was so involved and loving until our honeymoon. He left me in Spain alone because of a small argument. Since we got married we’ve only been having small talk. Kinda like we’re roommates. It’s weird, nothing happened between us, it’s just his personality. He’s emotionally distant, scared to hug me, freaks out if I talk about things that aren’t positive. Hes quick to run out the door. After minor arguments he would leave the house and disappear for days\weeks to his mother’s house-and then come back as if nothing happened. He still does it and leaves me and our toddler alone for weeks. It’s so odd. He’s like that with his friends too and his own family. He just doesn’t talk.. unless he’s drunk. Anyway, long story short, I can’t keep living like this. I feel sorry that my child has to see her mother go through this. I don’t want her to think this is ok.. what do you think?

in tears atm

So i just asked my partner to not play on his ps5 so we can spemd time and watch a movie together given it’s mother’s day today. And i was greeted with’ all my mates are playing, why can’t i, they have kids they are married why can’t i play’. Called me selfish. Acting like he has to listen to me like he has to sacrifice his games. Mind you he has all day tomorrow. Yeah I should’nt cry but i had a tough day with bub and this was the cherry on top.
