Advice

My BD goes out every weekend atleast once a week. I’ve voiced how I don’t agree with this when I’m at home nd we have 2 kids under 2. He goes on to say I’m controlling him and I’m being in reasonable.
I’ve never said he can’t go out I just want him to prioritise his family and not be out partying every weekend.
Am I being unreasonable ?

Nope you’re not. This would piss me off. Do you get time with your friends alone? I bet not. Why are men so selfish?? You should say … “ok you can see your friends once a week but I will be also, so then you have to do your dad duties” it’s only fair. It takes two people to make a baby not one. X

Has anyone started a business and it’s failed?

Basically that’s what’s happening to me right now. I won’t go into what the business is but it’s bleeding our family dry financially and the worst part is I don’t even need to work. Thankfully I’ve got a loving and supportive husband who has helped keep it afloat as long as possible because i love to work and it felt like a really good move financially at the time. but we got it wrong. We’ve really tried everything and thrown so much money at it, to try make it work and we can’t keep doing it. I’ve got an opportunity to get out this summer but I’m so embarrassed. I’m worried about what other people will say. I’m also worried what I’m going to do as a job. This felt so right and at my core if it wasn’t for the money, it made me so happy. I was so proud of being the owner.
It’s a real shame and I’m going to cry buckets.
My egos really not allowing me to let go and see the facts for what it is but I need to move on but I’m struggling. I keep fantasising that I’ll never have an opportunity like this ever again or we won’t dare try create another business ever again.

The only good thing about all this and I feel thankful that we will actually be better off as a family once it’s gone and I keep thinking of my little boy who deserves a mummy and daddy who aren’t stressed with money.

Can anybody relate to this story if so what happened on the other side?

Potty training

I’m am trying so hard to keep my shit together but my son just will not use the toilet anymore now resulting in blisters on his bum from sitting in his poop all night long and the peeing in his underwear. I don’t know what else to try we’ve exhausted every method on the internet and I’m ready to call it quits and just put him back in diapers

Am I a bi*** to my mother in law

A little background im a ftm and I live with my man and his family ever since the baby was born there’s been things that my mother in law has been doing that irritates me or upset me we’ve talked to her so I feel like she kind of been controlling the things she does but lately she’s doing something new everytime I try to do something fun with my baby for just giggles she’ll take that moment for herself or make it her own moment example 1: I put a diaper on my babies head and brought her to my mom in law to show her the minute me and my man left the room she takes a picture and sends it to the gc as if she’s the one who did it before I could (not to much upset about that part) and she immediately takes off the diaper and starts putting headbands on her and coming to the room saying stuff like oh she looks prettier now and to make sure to bring the headbands back to her example 2: I did her hair and made a little Mohawk and went to show her again I leave come back and she twisting her hair making little devil horns and it upset me cuz I just did her her to make it all cute and she just ruins it and it’s not the first time she played in her hair after I do it and it’s makes me feel like a bi*** just getting upset at these little things I try to just let them slide and let her be a grandma but I noticed it became a pattern at the things she does and if we talk to her about it she gets petty about it and it makes me feel so mean but I can’t help but get upset I’m thinking about just not saying anything anymore cuz I feel like I’m dtm

Meals

Can people give me some easy breakfast, lunch and dinner meal ideas please. I’ve been so crap with a routine for my little boy so he only has solids like every now and then as my adhd doesn’t go well with sticking to a routine. He’s 9 months on the 16th so I need to start getting my butt in gear with it all

I don’t know if I am over thinking

So lately my partner has become increasingly more lazy. He literally is either working for a few hours or sitting in the same spot on the sofa either gaming or on his phone.
It is extremely difficult to get his attention away from both - our son is 2 and is constantly trying to get daddy’s attention with no luck and the same with me.
However he started a new job and has been non stop talking to his new co worker.
If they aren’t working together they’re either texting or on the phone, I have even heard them say I love you to eachother.
(I’m paranoid as my partner has a history of cheating and is bisexual)

What do I do here ? I doesn’t do anything with me or our son, never takes us out, never wants to go out with suggestions, and just pays no attention to us, but gives all his attention to his job and colleague.

Angry

Anyone else get really angry over nothing? Every evening about 10/11pm I get really angry over nothing and end up breaking down. It’s like there’s a switch in me. Some nights it’s not too bad but some nights it’s really bad. I feel like if I carry on like this my partner might end up leaving me.
