Frustrating 😞

I have a 13 month old baby who goes to nursery 3 days a week while hubby and I go to work. She's exclusively breastfeeding but has cows milk off everyone but refuses from me. She constantly wants the boobs with me when I'm home. She's an absolute angel with everyone apart from me!!
She will be whinging all day and I don't go out on my days off cos I'm just so exhausted. I keep feeling down that I don't get myself out on my own with her, I will only ever go out with her when hubby is off. She's very attached to me, I love it but at the same time I just need her to be a little more independent and just be happy but it just feels like a massive battle 😔
Can someone help me with this?!

I don’t have any advice but read that kids often act out with those that they feel the safest with. 🤍

I formula fed, im the one working parent, i slept trained (ferber) and my kid and i diddnt baby wear enough.

Hes a happy, calm, sweet kid and has a great bond with dad. No bond with me besides occasional excitement when i get home because the dogs get excited and he loves the dogs. Evey twat on the internet loves to tell me how this is all my fault and ive broken him and its too late to build the bond and hes just going to grow up fucked up and hating women and will hate himself. I know i need to just touch grass for a bit but i tried that and it really hasnt helped. I already see every specialist and crazy dr under the sun and apparently this is the best im ever gonna get.
Did i blow it? Is everyone else right? Hes not even 2 yet.

Kisses

Interested to know why some parents don't let other family members kiss their baby?

Baby refusing solids 🤯

Hi everyone! My baby is 8 months old. We’ve been trying to introduce solids since 6 months. He used to eat small amounts of purees but now refuses completely when I try to offer more textured (mashed) foods instead of purees. I’ve tried so many different foods but he refuses all of them. Has anyone experienced something like this? I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to force it but it also doesn’t seem like he will accept it on his own.

Is this acceptable?

We had an awful incident in the park today. My daughter (who is only 2 and a half!!!) was playing and this boy the same age came into the tunnel. I heard her scream I want to get out and then the other mum came over and was like shouting and saying that it isn’t kind and that you have to share and what a horrible child etc. I thought she was speaking to her own child but when I went in and said please can you move over and let her out the mum was like your child can’t behave like that and then I realised she was talking to my daughter and telling her off! She claimed that my daughter had kicked her son, I didn’t see this or believe that it happened as I was watching and her son didn’t look upset or flinch at all. I do know she isn’t an angel and doesn’t always like to share, she’s learning, she’s 2 and a half!

I asked her politely not to talk to my child like that and she went mental saying that the world doesn’t revolve around her, of course I think she’s perfect and I’m raising an awful human being and not fit to be a parent. She was also imitating my little girl. I was with two friends, one who is male, who stepped in and said it wasn’t acceptable and that the women absolutely should not be talking to a 2 year old like that as well as to me. She then started saying that it wasn’t okay for a man to be arguing with her and he was a waste etc. I know it shouldn’t bother me because she was just an absolute idiot but it’s really affected me and I’ve cried a lot about it. I just wondered what other people’s thoughts were?

Worst of all my little girl keeps asking why the lady was shouting and saying she’s scared to go out in case she sees that lady.

Nervous about leaving him

Hey, my LO will be 8 weeks this Sunday, im going on a hen do tomorrow and im absolutely terrified - i really dont want to miss it as it’s my sisters hen do and im the MOH so id be devastated. But im really nervous about leaving my baby with his dad.
Dad is great with baby, he has him a lot through the day, does feeds, nappies, playtime etc. he works from home so they do get a lot of time with each other but not like he does with me so he doesnt settle well with him. He still comes to me for comfort. I know this is normal, but how am i supposed to leave them tomorrow, i feel absolutely terrible, does it pass? Any advice?

Married single momma?!?!

Hey yall… I need some advice.

Me and my husband been married 3yrs and have two kids * 4yrs and 4months* well I do EVERYTHING for the boys. Feed,change, bath, play/love, teach everything you can think of I do it alone. I’m the only one that wakes up at night with the baby while he doesn’t even try to wake up. He works 9-5 but doesn’t normally come home til 5:40-6 then goes to boxing from 7-9 then by the time he comes home both kids are in bed if not asleep also. That like hour and a half he’s home he doesn’t help me with the boys or anything just plays on his phone or the Xbox. He asks me for sex everyday and gets mad when I say no or when I ask him “why do you think I want sex everyday” he walks around like a sad puppy. He’s always yelling at the kids for no reason then gets mad when I tell him to chill tf out…. Anyways what would you do if you were dealing with this?

I’ve talked to him multiple times

He tells me to tell him what to do but at that point I do everything bc what’s the point in having to tell a dad to be a dad.

He hardly listens to me and what I have to say but talks about his job and all the females there’s everyday.
