Is this weird?

You and your child spend the night at a friends house. Your friend has a child too. Her fiancé is on a trip and comes back today. We're spending another night and my friend has to work in the morning. Tomorrow it'll just me, my child, her finance, and their child until she gets home from work. 12 hour shift. Is that weird? She doesn't want me to go and says I can stay but I feel uncomfortable

Fight with husband

My husband yelled at me today. Literally let it all out and said that I’m dumb and need to get my shit together basically that I never do shit for the house and he does everything but that I resent him because he doesn’t have boob milk to give to our baby and I’m 5 years old because I freeze and shut down in confrontation and can’t make decisions on the spot.

Back story….
I told him a while back I was feeling a little resentment because I was the one doing all the feeds and wake ups at night for the past 2 years now with our baby this year and now toddler last year he tried helping for a few days then it went back to the same…
I’ve been a SAHM he just recently retired and is now home. He gets mad whenever I try and do anything and tells me to just take care of the kids. When he started staying home it was you take care of the baby and I will the toddler which always still left me with both since he did everything else because he doesn’t like how I do anything.
I feel so unheard and unseen and like everything I did tell him was just twisted. He always is right and everyone else is wrong and dumb I have to constantly hear him complaining when we go out about other drivers and people and he constantly tells my oldest she’s dumb which sometimes yes but she’s just a kid at the same time…
I know I need to work on freezing and shutting down and I am very indecisive I am not saying I’m perfect but am I at fault? I’m just really thinking about it all and idk what I’m doing anymore or what to think of any to ing I need an outside opinion….

Who was in the room while you delivered?

Me personally it was a must for me to have my husband and mom. But they allowed room for 1 more so I had my mother in law in there as well.

Just ranting so I don’t scream! Tired of my partner and his family 🙄

My son was born at 33 weeks and was underweight for the first couple of months. Around 3–4 months he finally started putting weight on properly and thriving, and that’s when my son’s father’s mum started making comments about him being “heavy” and not wanting him to “develop fat cells.” 🙃 We all know postpartum is an emotional time so I took that comment as I’m failing as a mother because now my baby is heavy I must be over feeding him! My comment at the time: “Well do you expect me to starve my baby?” She didn’t much like that response. But honestly what was I suppose to do with that? 🤣 The doctors have told me he’s healthy and then here she comes bringing her older generations unnecessary comments…

For added context, me and my son’s father are both big people and our son has always been a big baby since catching up.

Despite all of that, I still made all the effort for him to have a relationship with his dad’s family — taking him round, calling, inviting them to things, etc. I moved 10 minutes away from them just before my son was born and would walk round there often but the effort has NEVER been reciprocated.

My son is very close with my mum and this has become a new point of contention. My son’s father’s family as a whole are quite absent but do love to mention they “never see him,” while also not actually reaching out or making plans themselves. The effort really isn’t matching the complaint level.

After my son’s first birthday, where barely anyone on my son’s father’s side really helped, I decided I was done being the unpaid family coordinator. I’m done reaching out, organising, calling etc. Especially as every conversation when I’m around them somehow always comes back to my son’s weight. 🤐 I’m trying to choose peace but they are making it very hard! If my son’s father wants our son to see his family, he can absolutely take that job on himself, I’m done picking up that slack!

And it’s amazing that since I’ve stopped making an effort that I haven’t spoken to any of them at all (which has been surprisingly peaceful) but not a call or a text amongst the bunch since March. 🙄

And my partner… that requires a whole new post but let’s just say he’s just about present enough to not be called a deadbeat but he’s a deadbeat!

Husband walks around in boxers at home Infront of daughters - 7 & 5 years old.

Please help, I have known my husband for 22 yrs & married for 17yrs, lived together for 21 years. He has ALWAYS not worn clothes in the house. He has always only had boxers on indoors. It wasn't such a problem when the kids were little but now I think it's highly inappropriate. He also comes home at 7:30pm, eats & goes to lie down. Many times, I've had to ask him to cover up his testicle on show because the kids want to go talk to him!!! He WILL not buy any PJs or home clothes for himself because he says he has other things to spend on & that he spends all his money on the kids. Im a SAHM. Please help me, am I wrong? I don't know what my daughters have seen and I dont know whether hes refusing to wear clothes because he wants them to see it all!!!
