Mamas with depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders

I can’t do this..

I have a toddler and a newborn. I can’t stand being a mom I keep having thoughts of why would I do this. If it wasn’t for my husband helping so much I don’t think I would have made it this far. I want to run away. I loose my patience on my toddler why the f would I add another. I was finally feeling myself again now I have to start all over… I’m scared I don’t want to do this.

Who’s wrong?

My husband and I go out with another couple. They start venting all their issues. My husband pulls the woman aside because he says my input is escalating the convo. (We had all been drinking).
So he ends up talking to her and I to the guy separately for like 3 hours both sides just airing all their grievances. We all reconvene and discuss some of the things said- maybe 30 mins?
In the car I ask husband “so what dis she say” He goes “who”. I’m now annoyed because who else???? So after I respond clearly irritated he then asks “when?” Clearly when you guys were away from the group! He’s mad at my responses and that I got annoyed. I’m mad he’s asking obvious questions and we fight. He ends up never answering. Next day we’re not talking. Who’s wrong.

I feel guilty for considering tv time

Hey moms, I've been contemplating letting my 20 month old have the TV for the day. This is something he gets once or twice a month, if at all, generally no longer than 30 mins. I am so exhausted. I stayed up late cleaning last night and taking time for myself. My husband was up early, which unfortunately woke my toddler who refused to go back to sleep, and is very miserable right now. As much as I enjoy being a sahm, its one of those days where I wish we had chosen daycare. Is tv for the whole day overdoing it? What are some alternatives that have worked for you?

Sex in a long term relationship

Is it normal for your partner to barley want to have sex with you, he’s 37 and I’m 27, I’ll admit I don’t make the first move purely because I did it once and he turned me down and it knocked my confidence a lot, we have it maybe once every month or even longer, I do sometimes get in my own head and think he’s watching po*n when I’m sleeping, He’s constantly on his phone till early hours in the morning, He does suffer with MH issues and his body confidence due to putting on abit of weight, it just makes me feel like I’m not his type and I catch him looking at other women when we’re out even doing shopping, it’s always blonde type women too as he has a things for blondes apparently.

Anyone find it easier staying home with a toddler?

My 21 month really is such a good boy, I am so lucky. He has been good with everything since having him. I can’t complain.. BUT he’s at the age where he just wants to run off, touch and play with EVERYTHING. We go to families houses and it just feels pointless because I’m constantly telling him not to touch things and I can’t have a conversation with who i’m seeing.
I bring toys, snacks etc but obviously everything else is more exciting. I then come away from their house feeling deflated and like i should have just stayed in.
At home he can just play with everything and the house is baby/toddler proof.
Any advice welcome too

I think my partner is taking coke again

So I went through an old jacket of his and found loads of empty bags in it. (I cleaned this coat only a few months ago)
I confronted him and he got very angry and shouted and said he hadn't touched any drugs for a very long time and how upset he was because hes trying so hard and ive thrown it all back in his face (he is currently having counseling for addiction)
What do i do?

First holiday as a family

For our first holiday (we’re just booking a UK lodge holiday as we want to take our dog), would you recommend 7 nights or 4? I keep reading mixed opinions as apparently a week lets you properly switch off more but then I’ve also read it might be better to start with a short holiday so it’s not a week out of the routine.

Our son is 15 months old and we both work full time and feel like we need to switch off from work and constant housework at home.
