Effing men!!

Effing husband doesn’t do eff all to help our son get to sleep, I asked him earlier this evening if he’d mind taking his turn to help our son get to sleep but obviously it fell on deaf effing ears cos I’ve just spent going on 3 hours getting our son to sleep, I’m so p-ed off with him, I feel like I’m the only one raising our son, he gets to go out and do his stuff and I’m stuck indoors doing everything for our son while he gets to have a effing break from his “daddy duties” and I get no effing break from it, I can count on 1 hand the amount of times he’s bathed our son, taken our son out so I get a break, last effing break I had was 4 months ago; I am overwhelmed, overstimulated, exhausted and he acts like I have it easy; he brings up the fact he goes to work and then comes home and cooks and does some clothes washing, then he complains that our son doesn’t want to be held by him - well if he stuck around and did more with him that wouldn’t be a effing issue.

Sorry for the long post I just really needed to rant about this effing loser of a husband I have.

We’re getting ready for a party at 3pm.

I’m inside cleaning the kitchen, bathroom, living room, front entrance, and floors, plus prepping the food and taking care of the kids.

He’s outside power washing patio stones in the rain and taking down Christmas lights that I gave up nagging him about in March because he insisted they were “party lights.” But now that we’re having an actual party he takes them down?!

When I asked him to just leave it and focus on the main areas, he said “let’s not be at each other’s throats before everyone gets here.” Like, totally invalidating my very valid point. Now he’s taking empties back while I just chug along, I guess.

At least my stepdaughter took the boys out for a couple hours, but still.

Ok, back to it…

Nursery Fear!!

My baby is currently 7m and I go back to work in September. I am …. terrified. There seems to be nothing people can say to make me feel better :( Hoping to hear from mums who felt like me and turns out it isn’t so bad? It’s the fact of me missing them and feeling like a part time mum, plus my social media has picked up a terrifying algorithm showing me all the children getting abused or even killed at nursery! I’m ruining my own maternity leave by worrying about this but I can’t seem to help it. Only going back part time but there’s no way I can afford to do any less than 3 days a week, sadly no village to rely on so nursery is the only option! I can’t bare the thought of him needing me or me missing out on firsts - then only seeing him a couple of hours before bed :(

Shouting at baby? I feel like the worst mum ever
