Am I wrong to feel a way?

Asked my childs father if he wanted to spend the night with his son. The baby is 5.5 weeks and wanted him to get that time with him as well before he goes back to work next week. All I asked was if he could keep him on his night schedule because I’ve gotten him to sleep really good at night and this was his response.

No- kids need routine and his reaction shows he’s not doing what’s best for the baby but what’s best for him

He’s sounds like an immature child.
“Imma do my own thing” instead of what’s routine and voiced for the child, phenomenal. I wouldn’t be letting mine 51/2 week old baby away from me, and definitely not if daddy can’t seem to take basic instructions.

But then context matters too, does he have/had other kid and think he knows better? Not making it okay. Just making it… make sense

Emotionally immature response. Just politely back track. Don't respond for a while and then cancel when he may have had time to think. I wouldn't bother engaging further when he's giving this attitude

Kindergarten drama?!

I need to rant.
During school morning drop off my heart broke a bit for my 6 year old.
She is such an outgoing, all out kind of kid & I know for some, it can be a lot. Even for adults.
Today she shouted a classmates name to walk in with her and the girl turned around, gave the nastiest look & started to walk away faster. The look on my daughter’s face is what did it for me.
Has anything like this happened to your kid and how did it make you feel?
This is all new to me- having a child in school. I just don’t remember kindergartners being like that.
I wanted to turn around and take her home lol.
Thankfully summer is right around the corner for us!

Accident nursery poo,

Got a call from nursery today to say my daughter had taken her nappy/trousers off, got poo everywhere and even put some in her mouth 😩

Has anyone else’s little one ever gone through a phase like this? She is potty training!

Please tell me I’m not alone because I genuinely don’t know what to do next 😭

Do you make a weekly menu for your household? Are you a SAHM or working (not remotely) mom?

For those who don't make a menu, how do you plan grocery shopping and meals or snacks?

I lost hope

My husband and I are on a big nasty and ugly fighting streak. We just came back from holidays and everything was fine. But then he pushed me to agree to go visit his family this summer and start making plans without considering everything I had shred before about how I feel staying over at his parents place place for 2 weeks and the whole jetlag and exhaustion. Plus how every tine we travel our toddlers routine goes out the door and I just feel overwhelmed.

Nevertheless I agreed cause it’s important to him. But then he kept pushing for more.

I lost it. In front of our son.

We fought for 2 days straight. I called hin the C word and he said I am a bad person. Then he said he doesn’t want to get pregnant again until I sort myself out.

We called an emergency session with our couples therapist.

Ir helped for a few hours.

Now we’re back at fighting spree.

Not even the safe word works anymore.

He lied to me about not buying more hot wheels. We’re now over 100. He has a problem.

And apparently he is taking pictures of my shit around the house to prove that I am also messy. When he knows I am the one who tidies all the time, does dishes, laundry and cooking.

I felt like hitting him. I am losing control. Our son is witnessing some of this. And I know we cannot let it happen. But it does and none of us puts a stop. We both just keep adding.

I just feel like running away and leaving with my son. But I can’t.

My husband is not from here and he has no one but us.
