I'm very confused, hurt, and a little PO'd

Okay, well this morning at 4:30 am, I finally woke up because my baby woke up, but I had been coughing all night, so I slept like crap.
So did my husband, because of the coughing.
I felt awful because obviously I came down with something.
My in-laws were expecting us for dinner, but that obviously wasn't happening. So when we called to cancel, MIL suggested that they drive down to pick up the baby and they would take her for awhile so that we could rest. We agreed to that. I sent my husband upstairs to rest because he could barely keep his eyes open. They were supposed to come by two hours from said phone call.
My baby is still kind of a contact napper, so when she fell asleep in my arms, so did I. And when I say I passed out let me tell you I was dead to the world!
At noon, apparently, they rang the doorbell. I was in a room in the back, I did not hear it. They did not call me. They apparently rang the doorbell again. Again I don't hear it. I hear my phone go off, but don't reach it in time, but that's enough to wake me. It was my husband. I look at my phone and just received a text from SFIL that says they're outside. I text him okay. My brain isn't working at a hundred percent, plus I just woke up. I have a groggy baby, and I'm grabbing the diaper bag on the way out. My sister who's staying with us for a bit shouts upstairs "I found her!" And I hear my husband mumble something as I'm opening the front door to head out. I get to the street and there's no one there. I look around confused and then pull my phone out. There's another text from SFIL that says "It doesn't seem like it's a good time" so I still confused and a little angry text back "ok then". From his first text to my last one, it's been maybe 6 minutes.
When I get back in, I'm still confused and now getting angrier because WTH?
While I'm trying to put baby back down. My husband texts me that just when he thought I couldn't be more irresponsible I pull this shit. And I'm just like "what the actual f?" How the fuck is all this my fault.
To top it off, these are the set of grandparents who say they want to be part of my daughter's life, but constantly find excuses when I reach out to hang out, or MIL makes comments like "can't wait to take you shopping" so like obviously you can't be assed about the toddler age, so that's cool.
They apparently proceeded to berate my husband as they drove off. They bitches that they spent 30 minutes out there, but I literally have time stamped texts that show how little they actually waited for.
The best part about all this, is that my sister answered the door and she told them to hold on she would go get me. So why did they leave?
Keep in mind all this happened while I can't fucking breathe properly and keep coughing, so I'm rushing around feeling dizzy while carrying my baby. So then I spent the whole fucking day trying to take it easy while my toddler is running like crazy and my husband who said he wanted to take care of me is just asleep in the bedroom. Thank God for my sister because she was helping with making me tea and soup.

As far as I'm concerned, next time they ask to babysit, I'll say no thank you, and try really, really hard to not say "fuck off".
Anyway, am I wrong for feeling this way? Are they in the wrong for just leaving, then berating my husband?

Has anyone ever just completely changed their lives to have a massive reset?

Basically tomorrow we tell our family’s that we’ve ever so slightly blown up our entire lives!

I’m going to tell my mum and my in-laws that not only have we sold my business that I’ve had for 9 years but we’ve also sold our home that we’ve been renovating for the past four years. AND after telling everyone we were one and done turns out I’m actually 10 weeks pregnant with baby # 2! 🥹

We decided after Christmas that we just didn’t enjoy certain aspects of our lives so we decided it was time for a change. The problem was we had so many big responsibilities what with my business and the house that it felt impossible to reshuffle our lives in order to get happy again. So we’ve got rid of it all except for my husbands stable and well paid job.

It’s been unbelievably emotional and scary but so far I’ve no regrets.

Has anyone else just decided to simplify their lives in order to start again? I’d love to hear your stories

If your child is a week into potty training do you just whip out the potty in any public place?

My son really needed to go and just running to a corner of the park where the pram was he ended up pooing his pants. I didn’t even know if it was the right thing to have him sat on the potty in front of everyone 🤷🏻‍♀️ but there was nowhere else. Is there anywhere you wouldn’t want your child to go?

How much does your husband bring home AFTER taxes for you to be a full time stay at home mom ?

Even if you are barely getting by it doesn’t matter how much he makes!
I am just curious to see how families are doing it?

Teeth?

Does this look like teething?

Baby has turned 4 months this week… she is inconsolable and is pulling on one ear😥(gnawing and dribbling too but that’s typical for her).
I can’t feel any obvious teeth, and she hasn’t got a fever 🤷‍♀️
