Sick of the scrutiny

Anyone else feel like this?!

I feel like I'm constantly being scrutinised!!! Feel like I'm getting it from all sides today.

I send a video of me and my LO giggling to my family, and my sister makes a comment 'how are you sleeping?' basically saying Im looking tired without saying I'm looking tired. I'm sorry I don't look like an Instagram Mum, but thanks for pointing that out!!

Then I ask my work from home husband to hold her for 20 mins so I can get some lunch in peace because she won't let me put her down without crying. Now he's making out like I'm struggling. He's always telling me I don't ask enough for help, and then when I do ask for help I get so scrutinised!

Just sick of everyone and feel like so isolated by the lack of others understanding

Grandparents teaching 12 month old to stab with a knife

So yesterday I’m playing with my daughter and she gets her pretend knife and starts doing fast stabbing motions on me and my partner. We both look really confused at each other Because we’ve not taught her that.

Anyways he goes down to his mum and dad and asks what they’ve been teaching her and his mum says ‘we’ve been teaching her what he does in the film psycho when he murders people’ so we’re like riiiiight that’s absolutely not okay.

So we said ‘we’ve been teaching her gentle kind hands’ so it just completely contradicts and disregards what we’ve been teaching so she said ‘it’s only a joke I didn’t think’ but now she will not stop doing it and I’ve had to bin the knife.

She’s started nursery aswell and I’m so scared she tries doing it to another baby and now we look like the bad guys. What do I do??

Does my fiancé suck?

Am I tripping but, I think he's been absolutely rubbish. He was terrible at the hospital moaning about the chairs and went home to sleep, didn't even ask if it's okay, had a go at me after our son was born saying he will leave me if I don't change, I just had a emergency c section and epidural didn't work so I had to be asleep which was very traumatic. He made me feel so unsafe, he left me in the hospital after son was born just me and him, I had a catheter in, having to try and look after a baby for the first ever time! Then he was rubbish at home, hardly helped really he spent whole day on computer and when I asked why aren't you helping he said he's getting me prepared for when he goes back to work, although he booked an extra week of work! When I go to my mother's he doesn't message asking how our son is. He doesn't do any night feeds, baby is formula fed because my milk stopped more than likely due to stress. We had an argument the other night and he walked out after pushing me over and went to his mother's leaving me crying looking after a baby I had been looking after all day, exhausted. Many times he has told me he is isn't going to marry me, tells me I need to change. I'm just at my wits end, he is the reason I had postpartum depression 100% on Saturdays he doesn't wake up. For mother's day I said I wanted pancakes, he made me toast ... He never wants to go anywhere, moans if we have to food shop. HELP we just bought a house together and have this new baby, I don't know what to do.

Lost for words

My husband and I had been together almost 16 years. We waited years for our miracle child and finally had her in April of this year. The pregnancy was rough just constant bickering and back and forth. My daughter did 11 days in the NICU and was home for 9 days when my husband finally left us. According to him, I put him out but emotions were high so I disagree with him. He doesn’t believe in postpartum and said he was sick of my attitude. He’s been gone 2 full weeks. He’s responsible for our rent and car insurance. He told me he wasn’t going to pay because he hasn’t been here. He’s working on getting his own place. I am at a loss for words and broken hearted because I didn’t think it would get this bad. He refuses to come back home. I know divorce is inevitable but he’s absolutely left my daughter and I bone dry. Idek where to turn so I’m just venting here. Thank for listening.

Nothing to do with baby

So upset right now …Having a chilled day

My husband came home from work and said he didn’t like how much we spent on the wedding because his friend’s partner is apparently spending way less. It really upset me because it felt like our choices and all the effort I put in were being compared and criticised after the fact. I want to bring it up without turning it into an argument…. how would you handle it?

He said “ I really like what she’s doing , you didin’t do that” I was like okayyy?? But I want to confront him coz I’m really upset now!

Starting potty training

In 2 weeks I’ve decided I’m going to start potty training my daughter but haven’t got a clue how to start

Advise regarding nursery.

My daughter has been attending nursery since January every Wednesday and Thursday 9-12 we have never had any issues ever. Till last Thursday she had bitten a child and pulled another child’s hair- I was absoloutely mortified as this isn’t the sort of behaviour we have at home my daughter is nothing but kind and gentle and she is the most affectionate kind and gentle little 2 year old. I shrugged off last Thursdays issue and put it down to being tired and developmental. This week she attended Wednesday with no issues had amazing day. My mother collected her today and the same incident happened and again my mum explained this is not normal behaviour for my daughter and asked how they were supporting her from preventing this happening as it doesn’t appear to be happening on Wednesdays. They said that Thursdays are very busy and have a lot of children in and she could be getting overwhelmed tired etc and they mentioned Thursdays can be typically challenging with the amount of children so basically they’re unable to keep an eye on all children.

Another incident last week I picked up my daughter on Thursday her nappy was so soiled it clearly hadn’t been checked but I shrugged it off and thought nothing of it then today my mother collected her from nursery and she was covered in feices where it had seeped all through her vest and her clothes so my mother asked them to change her and they had mentioned that she was sore- my daughter never leaks through her nappy and we never have any issues of her being sore except from the days she had nursery- I’ve emailed them my findings and concerns but what would you do.

I will add that my daughter is always excited to go to nursery and loves being there but with these concerns I feel like I just want to remove her from the setting- it hurts my heart that she is potentially hurting other children in there care to which she has smaller cousins and she never hurts them.

Advice please
