Would this annoy you?

On my husbands side of the family his mum has lots of close family friends (aunties) we call them aunty -insert their name-. They have all decided to call themsleves grandparents.
Grandma -insert name- ....
I dont like it. I find it too much that they've decided they get to be called grandparents. Theyre not blood related and although theyre close friends to my MIL. They are not my kids grandparents so I dont like them calling themselves that.
All my uncles and aunties are great uncle -insert name. Or I like to call them uncle -insert name- the great for fun. I wouldnt call them grandma or grandad. To me it is special to be a grand parent. You dont get to just chose that youre grandma this or grandma that. Also my step mum finds it really special to her that we gave her granma title, her kids aren't close with her so its reallt special to her that she has been given that title. So for all these people just to be deciding they get that title too kind of makes it feel less special and I also think it would make her upset to know all these people have the same title. (Like she says thank you so much for letting me be grandma to your child, its so special to me- just for her to find out my daughter has 10 granmas, kind of takes away from her being given that title if you get me)
Like its a privilege to be a grandparent, not a right, you also dont get to decide youre a grandparent when youre not.

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!

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)

What’s everyone’s thoughts?

I am looking for some advice, please. My husband ended the relationship a month ago and it is just now me and my one-year-old baby at home.
Because obviously we now need to coparent I am really struggling with managing this because my husband literally wants to come every other day, if not every day.
There is no set days in place as he says that he wants to be here as much as possible and when he comes it is like he is back. He just chills on the sofa, eats food, eats meals and drinks coffee.
I said to him, do you want to set days and he said he is my child, I want to see him as much as I can. I don’t mind him at all seeing our baby that is not the issue whatsoever. It is just it doesn’t feel right when he is coming pretty much every single day, but we aren’t together?

It is pretty much like he just doesn’t sleep here

What is everyone’s takes on this or has anyone else been through something similar?

7 year itch or marriage falling apart?

We’ve been together for going on 8 years. Married for going on 3. We have a 1 year old. We’re always fighting or snapping at each other now. He talks down to me. Makes me feel stupid or like I’m being difficult and when I call him on it I get “I’m just trying to talk to you” but if I’m even the SLIGHTEST bit of anything other than happy and obedient, suddenly I have an attitude or I’m being bitchy. He won’t help me with anything unless I freak out on him. He’s a great dad but that’s it. We used to be totally in sync with each other and we never argued or fought nearly this much. I’ve been diagnosed with PPD PPA, & PPOCD so obviously I’m different but like….. I’m trying. I’m on meds. Was doing counseling. Trying to communicate. He won’t do anything to help us adjust and I just don’t know what to do anymore. I have to spend most every evening 🍃 🔥 or we end up fighting. I can’t do this. Help…?

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?

UC and childcare help question

Hi all. I need to increase my daughters childcare hours as I am going back to work (she currently only does two mornings a week which we pay for as only my daughter’s dad is working) but since it’ll be both of us working soon does that mean we can include childcare costs in our claim and that would be taken into account our monthly uc payments (to help pay for childcare) as without help there really isn’t any point in me working as nursery fees are expensive and I’ll literally be earning just to pay and cover nursery fees.
