Unreasonable to be annoyed at this??

So me and my boyfriend have been together 6 months and is it a bit shitty that we have only been for dinner once? And not really been anywhere on a day out. Alls he does is work, a lot. Which I like in a man but he works 60 hours a week and always says he has no money. But I just would love to get dressed up a night and I love going for dinner/going on adventures etc but he just works and sleeps 🙈 I don’t even ever think we’ve went for lunch. I have a 6 year old daughter and only get 2 nights a week free so would be nice to actually go somewhere or do somethin. It’s always me askin go do stuff and he’s just like “yeah come round to mine” and we just sit and watch tv 🙈

Dump him. You shouldn’t have to keep asking for the bare minimum.

I agree with Alexa. You've been together 6 months and he's already not putting any effort in? Nah, life's too short. I completely understand working crazy hours and being tired but if you can't/won't put any effort into a new relationship, don't be in one 🤦🏻‍♀️😅 tell him you want more than he's clearly prepared to give you and give yourself the chance to find something better!

Feel free to message me, my partner is exactly the same but we've actually been together nearly 10 years 🤔 we've recently had an argument about this exact thing. Xx

You guys are not wanting the same things in everyday life. He wants a more sedimentary life where you are looking for more.
This will not get better with time and who he is. If you decide to get married, it will get progressively worse.

Sounds like you’re not well matched? Do you need him to go out? Let him stay home if no money etc and you go on your trips with friends.

How boring. I’d move on, it’s only gonna get more boring.

If it’s already a problem in 6 months, and you’ve asked and communicated the issue. Stop wasting your effort, he’s either not the type or doesn’t care to be “for you”

Going from 2-3, Help! 😩

My 2 step-daughters live with us full time, and have done for nearly 5 years. We now have our 4week old baby boy and I'm really struggling with how a routine will ever come into place.

I had a C-section so have not been doing many of the school runs as I'm unable to drive. My mum has been living with us during the week to help as my partner had to go back to work 4 days after bringing baby home.

We are getting closer to the time my mum won't be here to help and I'll be doing all of the school runs (and all other things that come with being a mum and running a house) and I do not know how I'm going to get out the door at 8am - let alone keep everyone organised and settled.

Parenting isn't new to me but being a mummy to a new born baby is so I feel a little lost.

Any advice welcome!

Nursery help/advice

I am a first time mum and want the best for my little girl, she is incredibly smart and she’s almost 2, she knows colours counts to ten sings songs, she’s very clever, I applied for nursery 9-3 but they don’t have that available they have 1-6:30 but her bath and bed routine starts at 5:30 she’s in bed by 6:45, I originally was going to look at a part time job in the 9-3 hours but that wouldn’t work as she would be picked up at 4:30 to get home and settled for bed! I am looking for advice is it worth her going at 2, did anyone have a child that went at 3 and 2 and what was the difference? I am a stuck mummy because of course i want her home but i also want the best but before this new funding came in, children went at 3 unless you paid for it? ANY ADVICE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED 🫣

What do you eat (EBF mummas)

My baby is 4 months old now. I have not lost 1lb of my pregnancy weight and I'd like to fit back into my clothes one day 😆. I'm curious what you other EBF mums eat generally to reflect on whether I am eating enough or the right things.

Nursery 🎪🐭🩵✨

Is anyone else almost done with theirs?

Why does my husband act as if he doesn’t trust me

My husband acts as if he doesn’t trust me he keeps saying don’t get too lonely and keeps saying it’s weird you’re in the bedroom.

I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong in his mind. Our kids aren’t getting into anything and is behaving and my older 2 is watching tv in the living room and I don’t want to be in the living room and watching what they are watching.
