Am I overreacting?

My fiance and I just bought an rv camper to move into. He’s lived out of state for a job for months, just purchased the trailer a couple weeks before the baby and I moved down. He’s known that the trailer needs some roof work and sealing in places as there’s leaks. It hasn’t rained since he bought it, and wasn’t expecting rain until later this week. Note: we are in WASHINGTON, it’s a miracle it hasn’t rained in 2 weeks. Okay now to the point, he’s been putting off sealing the roof for whatever reason and today he had to work. It rained today and the leak is worse than we anticipated. He told me he was going to DoorDash me supplies so I could climb onto the roof and seal it today while he’s at work. I said no. 1. I have no where safe to keep our 1 year old by himself. 2. I am not climbing onto the mossy slippery roof IN THE RAIN by myself in the middle of a forest with my baby (still don’t know where I’d put him).

Anyway am I overreacting for not doing this bc he put it off during his days off?

I understand procrastination, sure. But letting something genuinely get worse and worse because he just won’t do it? Not cool. He should want general comfort and safety for you and his child.
And definitely NOT request you do it with no consideration for your child or your safety while doing it. If you do even happen to know how, no. Not cool Mr lazy extra procrastinator.

What else was he doing instead this whole time on his days off?
What was his response?

I see no overreaction on your part, no

It is entirely not safe to climb onto a roof in the rain without a second adult present. You are far from overreacting!! Cuz at the very least you need a spotter. Someone to make sure the ladder isn’t going anywhere!! And you are right this is not a safe activity to do when you are the one caring for a small child! He should pay for a hotel for you and the baby to stay at until he repairs the roof!

Especially if it's mossy it would be very dangerous for you to get up there on your own.

Oh hell no

Not to put genders in the way, but that's like totally a man's (dad's) job.
If my man told me to climb on the roof, bc he was procrastinating, Id slap the sh!t out of him. Lol

Especially since it ONLY became an issue TODAY literally bc he didn't do it on his off time. No no sir, get your butt up there, and IDC if you worked all day, get it done NOW.

O hell no. No, you’re not overreacting. I would be super irritated about even being in that situation.

Stay at home mum after returning to work

I have returned from Mat leave since Feb and little man has just turned a Year old Monday. He has been ill since and very clingy to me. I only do 2 days a week and he’s with my MIL during that but I can’t help but feel like I now wanna be a stay at home mum. Someone tell me I’m not crazy for feeling this?😬

Weaning

Hi all, my baby is almost 4 months old and I have seen lots of food pouches and baby rice in supermarkets which states 4m+

Has anyone actually given their baby any of these before the 6 month mark?? Thanks!

Juice and other drinks

My son has never had anything other than water or milk. He is now 2.5 and knows others drinks exist like juice, smoothies, milkshakes.

When did you start letting your little ones have other drinks?

I don’t want him to have juice all the time but I don’t want him to be deprived of it that he gets obsessed when he finally can make that decision.

Husband coming to baby sensory classes

My husband wants to experience things with our daughter and likes to learn how to play with her so always comes with me to our baby sensory classes. He’s always the only man and a few mums there seem out off that he attends with us. Would you be bothered if a man came to a baby class (not specified that it’s just for mums but just what’s normal)

Baby led weaning

Anyone else started this? Started a week ago and my baby just does not want it! She’s desperate to eat what we have in front of her and reaches for our spoons and forks, but when it comes to trying foods I prepare for her like broccoli, sweet potato, baby porridge and avocado so far she just isn’t having it! She’s interested for 30 secs then pushes away.
I know its mostly for exploration at this stage, but should I be waiting a little longer if she’s really protesting it? She can sit unassisted and has stopped the tongue thrusting to is physically ready. Or do I keep going?

Is it ok to cancel plans last minute after a hard night?

I was due to have my mum, cousin and auntie over today for lunch but my baby has been non stop all night crying awake in blocks of 3 hours, so bad my husbands even stayed home from Work because neither of us got any sleep, he’s took baby down so I can have a few hours and I’ve just woke up and she’s still going ( she’s fine just very unsettled)

and I just do not feel like entertaining and cooking while she’s so unsettled

She’s due to come in a hour and a half but I all need to do some house work and I just feel so exhausted

I might ask if we can do tomorrow instead?

I feel bad
