who’s wrong (long one )

my partner is in the bedroom sleeping. I’m giving the children a bath. All three of them are out my 3 year old was in the bath. My 2 yo was in the front room watching TV and my 1yo was walking around and I went in the kitchen to check my phone for like one minute I was not there long just to check messages I turned around and he’s standing behind me looking at me like I’ve done something wrong and he made me jump. I just walked off because I already knew why he was annoyed. He’s annoyed because I left my daughter in the bath even if it was for one minute and iknow she’ll be fine she’s old enough, and he’s annoyed because I left my 1yo walking around because she could’ve gone in the bathroom and done something she shouldn’t whatever he thought, and he was talking to me and telling me why I did it was wrong and I wasn’t even looking at him cause I just felt so embarrassed and fed up and annoyed with arguing with him all the time and I just was saying to him “it’s okay. It’s okay! “trying to just tell him to stop i know i get it and then he said he felt like I disrespected him by basically telling him to just be quiet. he asked me if it’s the first time i’ve done it I said no it’s not, and he said well if it’s not the first time then how am I telling him to be quiet if I already know.. he said i should of rather just said to him “yeah iknow i wont do it again” rather than just ignoring him and shutting him up and walking off like idk i just feel so stupid rn for the way i reacted and idk why i even reacted that way pls help😔😒😒😒😒

aside from that to make it worse, he said that I should be careful because “i can get it” as if he’s going to hit me .. i’ve told him about this multiple times he’s said this to me i just felt so fed up when we’re good we’re good until it’s me that messes up again! Feels like things will get better we have intense conversations and make up except they never do get better because it’s always me that messes up, on top of that when he did go to work I was texting him angrily swearing annoyed complaining all that, saying can he send me money so I can order a dummy because I lost it and he was saying no I shouldn’t do that because it’s late and he doesn’t want anybody coming here this late, he thinks it’s disrespectful the way i text him because he’s at work and I’m just texting him all these messages and giving him missed calls except then he starts insulting me calling me a fool and dumb crazy all that and expects me to react a certain way when he’s just insulted me because of what i did.

It is not safe leaving the a kid in the bath alone to check a phone. He is right about that. However, he should have helped

I honestly don’t think your partner has any say if he’s literally sleeping in the other room? your not stupid for the way you reacted, you know your babies so if you know they won’t do anything within that small amount of time you turned your back I dont think he should have to worry or have a say about it.

He talks to you like you're a child. It's really not a big deal. Also I'd leave a 3 year old in the bath while in another room. If it was the 1 year old I'd understand

Vent post

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 :(

Visiting day nurseries

I am visiting a day nursery on Monday which will potentially be where my son will go after Christmas when he is 11 months.
What questions would you definitely ask? Want to go in prepared.

Does this look like teeth?

He’s just turned 3 months on the 8th and I think I’m seeing teeth? He’s my first baby so not sure what I’m seeing is teething or normal

Arguing

Me and my husband keep arguing and bickering over small things. I don't know what it is but it's like we are both frustrated with each other. I don't know how to stop especially in front of our daughter. I just can't be bothered.
