Upset

My husband has a different culture than me. In their culture they play match maker for their close friends and family. Today my husband talked to some girl at the store, got her number, and started trying to talk to her for his brother. I told him how disrespectful it is to me that he's being friendly with girls enough to get their numbers before he even told her it was for his brother. He doesn't think it's disrespectful and that it's not a big deal. I told his brother to find his own women. And now im the bad guy.

Am I the only one?

My husbands family always has get togethers well it’s always at the same place (his cousins) during summer we always swim and such. But now that my kid is much more mobile (she also has a kid who’s 4) I noticed she has 0 protective anything with her pool. The only thing is a “back door open” voice and that’s it. The back door leads straight to the backyard with the big ass pool.

Now she’s a nurse so I just felt this was common sense that drowning is very much silent. Today we were over there and they acted like I was CRAZY for not allowing her to be out there without an adult I know is watching her (yes there was a group of adults outside but you can’t just assume someone is watching kids?) “she’ll be fine” and I just literally started saying “drowning is silent” “there’s nothing around that pool to stop her” “drowning happens fast” and such. I felt like a crazy mom the whole time. How does she live with that pool there daily with no care in the world? Like her kid is just out “by himself” no one actively watching him a whole trampoline right by the pool.

When my MIL was out there I STILL checked on her and my husband did too we both were saying “drowning IS SILENT”

Would you be offended if your husband said "I feel like we're being bad parents"

Referring to us struggling to cope with two children when we're out of the house and not wanting to go out because if the kids get upset we both find it really stressful. (We have a newborn and a 3yo)

Idk, like I just feel like he inadvertently called me a bad parent.. and to be clear we are very calm parents, we never yell, we always try to gentle parent, but we do both get very overwhelmed in our own ways

Im so aggravated, I could explode.

Im sick of this revolving door between me and my household. I have an 18 year old an 11 year old & an 6 year and a man. So why in the hell is my house always a mess and everybody in here is capable of cleaning up behind themselves. From the time I get up. Im washing dishing, sweeping the floor, washing clothes, folding and putting away clothes, while the ungrateful ppl sit on their butts and do nothing. Im perfectly capable of doing all the cleaning and stuff for the house on my own. If they would clean up when they make messes. I speak to this man about this and all he says is, oh its not that bad, we will get to. If i sit and wait on him and kids my house will never get clean. All im want to a decent house. Its no reason why its clothes toys and food every where. They make me feel crazy because I start screaming and yelling but ive been asking nicely all day. I need a break 😫

I need a new husband lol

My husband rarely makes breakfast for me. And I was hoping this bank holiday weekend as he's off he would make the effort but when I asked him just now when he would make breakfast for me he said when he has the energy. He is always tired as he suffers from insomnia but ever since our son was born 7 months ago he has energy for our son. I feel very hurt by this statement as I've interpreted it as I am not important enough. I'm now getting up and go make breakfast for us as we get ready for the day

Horrible Night 🇬🇧

maybe worst night ever. i live with my baby daddy and our 8month twins, he can be the sweetest person most of the time but every time i go out he drinks and gets drunk…even if i’m just going to gym or for lunch, nothing crazy ever! today had a family wedding and he got drunk there, he went home early then when i came home he wouldnt let me in the door at first, kept opening and slamming. then i put my foot when he opened and tried to put my hand and he slammed the door on my hand. inside he kept coming up close to me and shouting at me, i sat on the bed and he pushed me off. he came and grabbed my arms pushing me into walls all over our flat, and hitting my face with a plushie. then he finally went to bed. i called the police and they came and arrested him. i feel so scared, i hv no one who can come round. i feel so sad too that it’s come to this and scared he will be so angry with me now. whatever we had will be over now i feel as there can be no going back from this. i also feel sorry for him too. i just feel lost as well, never been totally alone all night with the babies 😔😔😔😔😔😔

I’m not crazy right?

Love my clingy 15 mo. He’s great and I play with him so much, don’t get that confused! But I’m lucky to be a stay at home mom right now and I have to do laundry and cook dinner and such or maybe I just want to sit down without him climbing on me or going “mamaaaaaa” even though he’s perfectly fine. I’ve tried baby wearing but he’s getting kinda heavy and he doesn’t like being in there for too long….so sometimes I sit around the corner of the room he’s in. I put him in his pack and play, distract him with a toy, then hide behind the wall so he can’t see me and do whatever I need to do. As long as he doesn’t see me, he plays by himself so well!!! But the minute I’m in sight it’s all over and he starts crying. Does anyone else do something like this? Sometimes I feel bad that I’m hiding from my baby 😅
