Do you/could you leave the house without telling your partner your away?

Seen a video and it got me thinking 🤷 does it work both ways?

Voted wrong with my sweaty fingers lol I could but I don't because 99% of the time I have our son with us and also I am pregnant so I always like my husband to know when I am out and where *knock on wood* in case of emergencies

I have a door camera and it sends notifications when someone is entering or leaving. Even if I don’t say anything he’ll ask me where I’m going.

Neither of us just up and leave the house without telling each other

Like for just a short errand? I won’t make a point to tell him, but usually end up calling just to chat and end up mentioning it

I could but I wouldn’t. I’d always announce I’m popping out so he’s aware he’s alone with the kids. Same as I wouldn’t have just walked out the door as a teen without telling my mum, vanishing acts aren’t cool.

I go to the gym at 7 in the morning on Sunday and don’t tell anyone. He knows where I am though.Generally we both tell each other if we go out.

In-law issues (long one sorry)

I’ve never felt welcomed by my in-laws, in fact my father in law called me “favor of the month” one of the first times I met him. He is the type of guy you can not disagree with/ have a different opinion or he will shut down. Which I do disagree with him 99% of the time because I’m going to have my own opinion. She is sheltered and goes along with whatever her husband says. Fast forward my husband and I have been together 10 years, married for almost 6 and have two kids together. I haven’t seen my in-laws since end of January 2025. I sent the invitation for my daughter’s 3rd birthday in May of ‘25 and they said no, I invited them to my son’s first birthday October of ‘25, they said they can’t come. I invited them to Christmas at our house, they said no because their dog has anxiety and can’t be left alone for that long. My husband invited them for dinner in January of ‘26, they declined cuz of the dog. Christmas was my last straw and I no longer want them involved in my or my children’s life because they make no effort and I don’t need people in and out of my kids life’s.
My husband was on the phone with his dad today and he said “I hope she figures out those walls that she has put up, MY grandkids don’t even know us” IM SHOCKED. WTF

My family says I need to keep reaching out because “birthday and holidays invites are bare minimum” but I’m over it and I’m over being mistreated.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN a similar SITUATION?

If yes, what did you do to help your child and yourself?

This is what happened:⏬

We were playing outside on the balcony, but it wasn’t very safe for him because of the dirt and other things, so we came back inside. I washed his hands. He was crying a little at that point.

I then tried to calm him down and breastfed him. He settled briefly but then started crying again. This time the crying intensified because he was very upset. At one point, his cry became silent and his body became stiff, and his mouth was open.

I immediately responded, held him tightly, and called his name out loud. After a short moment, his body relaxed and returned to normal.

He seemed a bit shocked afterward, as if confused about what had just happened. I comforted him and said, “Mama is here, you are okay.” Then I became very emotional and cried🥹

Making baby food and freezing in ice cube trays…

How are people defrosting each puree cube when baby is ready to eat it? NHS is saying not to use the defrost setting on the microwave or leave it out at room temp?

Baby activity

What do you do with a baby in this heat? Don’t want to sit at home but it’s hot out so can’t exactly just sit outside 😩

I just need to vent

My sons dad is not in the picture. He was upset i kept him to begin with. He was in n out of my life my entire pregnancy. Decided the last few weeks to try to be there for us, was in the delivery room & cut his cord even stood at the hospital with us until we got discharged but when my baby was 5 weeks old coldly said he’d sign his rights away. My baby is 7 months old now and i feel so weird and wrong to admit i miss his dad. I hate myself and wish i was as heartless as his sperm donor and not care but i do. I’m struggling more as my dad recently had some serious health problems and i want comfort but i know he wouldn’t give me what i nee..
