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 :(

AITA?

I’m just wondering whether I’m completely insane or whether I’m expecting too much? This is the 5th time I’ve had to settle my little girl tonight.

Friday and Saturday nights are my husbands nights to settle our little girl if she gets upset or wakes up crying as she does not need feeding every time. He gets in a mood in 2 minutes and just dumps her on the bed and lets her cry until I give in and sort it out.

He’s never been very good at emotions and comforting people so I asked him if this was an issue for him and he said yes. I just said that he will need to learn to find a way because soon I will be going back to work and will not be doing this every night and working full time. He blew up and is now ignoring me.

Like why are you in a mood?? I’m the one that has to get up every single time and fix it…you don’t even try? You just try to roll over and go back to sleep because you can’t be arsed. It sounds silly but my body hurts I’m so angry.

I’m honestly so sick of this, obviously I love my child and don’t mind settling her if I need to but when he can’t even be bothered to try…when am I supposed to sleep and rest exactly? He’s currently snoring next to me 5 minutes after blowing up in my face and I’m about to hit the roof

OK, so here’s was really going on

The reason why I’m asking you ladies about how can y’all maintain having two jobs, running in the household, taking care of your kids, running a business, sleeping schedule, going to the gym and prepping up meals because I was still thinking about getting a night job but I’m thinking long and hard because I’m having anxiety about my kids. Now don’t get a twisted, my man got a job and a business just started and he helps me what the kids but I want to get a second job because truth be told, my house needs to be remodel, my car broke down, and my ex put me through a debt not that much but you know, the job I have is really good paying security job, but I want to see my money as well, I want to spend it on my daughters wardrobe, education and sports, they’re upcoming remodel room, I’m trying to get my contact creator and my Nails tech business, and more… I realize I had to put on my big girls panties on and thug it out but I don’t know what to and I need your advice?? what should I do?

My daughters is 8 and 9 years old and i put my kids in summer school and after school program EVERY SCHOOL YEAR. 7:20am to 5:30pm.. I trust my kids to stay at home by themselves.. we’ll just start and at this age they’re learning how to clean.. my boyfriend work 2 jobs and my dads works too

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😔😒😒😒😒

Cheating

So me and my youngest sons dad have been together for going on 6 years... now I found out that he's been messaging others and sending pics so I confronted him and he tells me that he didnt do anything so its not cheating and if I tell him he cant talk to them he tells me that I am ruining his mental health.... please explain wth is going on in his head
