Sahm what do you think?

My partner tells me that I’m not doing my duties as his partner because I don’t wake up every single morning to make him breakfast I tell him that I get tired waking up because of the baby and he says I should have a routine to wake up every morning and make him breakfast because he works every day all day and that’s one of my duties I have to do.. he comes home to a cook home meal and the house clean everyday!! like I get tired too I be on the go 24/7 plus we are together but we’re not even married I do get up to make him breakfast some day I get really tired and I keep on sleeping who’s wrong here?

I wish that I had that luxury. I say find a way to meal prep his breakfast and then it’s will take 5 minutes to heat it up

I agree with Tommi. Meal prep is your friend. I'm also the morning routine queen. A consistent routine does wonders for me.

Personally I think he is. My husband works full days, I stay at home with 3 kids. I do just about everything around the house during the day, I deal with 1 of the three kids at night, he handles the other two. He gets up with them in the morning and does breakfast for them and himself and some nights he comes home and cooks dinner. It isn’t too much to ask him to feed himself in the morning in my opinion. Parenting is a team effort. Living together is a team effort. It’s exhausting staying home with kids. It’s a whole handful of jobs in one and it never ends. It’s a 24/7 job. So again, I think he’s in the wrong.

Him completely. You’re not obligated to make him every meal of the day. If he wants breakfast he has two hands.

If he wanted a trad wife he should have put a ring on your finger first.

Not about one person being wrong. Just about coming together to make each person feel like they’re getting what they need. Personally, as a stay at home mom, I’m going to get up to make sure I can do his breakfast but that also doesn’t mean he doesn’t need to consider how you feel. There can be other options too like meal preps. I know that my man does go to work tired almost every day. We are both tired but subtracting from taking care of each other because of that will never help us or our relationship. If he was saying he was too tired to work his full hours for us to have the money we need then that would cause a problem for our dynamic. Maybe you should sit down and take inventory of everything you both need and hopefully he does do his part to help with the baby as well. Not to make things transactional, but so you can understand and maybe there’s a solution that will be more clear. Maybe doing breakfast and a prep for the next day so it’s not days in a row.

He is simply because he can’t understand you’re needs too which is rest if you ever want to talk I’m here message me I have similar problems

I'm going to play devils advocate and say he has a point, this is speaking on what my partner has told me about his work. He does not have access to a microwave at work and often times he works in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes based on the job, they don't take a lunch break so breakfast is the only meal before dinner to get him through the day. I have the luxury of going back to bed after he leaves super early in the morning and starting my day late. Potentially also helps the family as a whole as it could potentially help to save money than constantly eating out to eat. As others have mentioned prepare the food the previous day or in the morning with everything already at aside.

Who the fuck laid out the rule that you should make him breakfast??
It should be agreed on rules. Ur tired. U have a baby. Ur postpartum. U need rest. Tell him to go let his mom cook him breakfast. Ur not his mom too

Why do so many of ya'll assume a SAHD is a pedo, a loser, or just trying to steal you all from your husbands?

Could it be possible that SAHD's just love thir kids, need a support system, and want their children to be able to have playdates and friends?
My SAHD doesnt want you or your children. So stop banning my kid from playdates and socialization souly because of whats in his pants.

Nursery advice.

Long post.

My daughter was on a waiting list to join a nursery, we managed to get her a place and we was so excited for her to start in September.

Unfortunately, my partner was made redundant (his workplace was right next door to the nursery and suited the hours) so I emailed to cancel her place… which I definitely rushed into without thinking.

We’ve now made arrangements for her to go to this nursery so I emailed to see if she can still rejoin and explained the situation. Do you think this nursery will still accept her if a space is available still?

Nursery advise

When dropping my LO off at nursery, I have noticed that the lady who opens the door doesn't really acknowledge my daughter, and it has been getting worse. Today, she didn't even smile or say good morning to me or my daughter. This has troubled me and made me feel uncomfortable. I started noticing this in January when she started receiving us. My LO will start school nursery in September, which is why I was trying to hold out. But the reception we received from her today really unsettled me. Should I say something or any advice? I don't want to make things awkward for my daughter, especially.
