Am I being unreasonable?

For context I'm SAHM and my partner works from home 7.30-5:15ish without a lunch break. Very busy and on the phone most the day
He's started going to the gym with our neighbour who annoyingly wants to go at 5:30pm every day (No kids)
Every day it turns into an argument of why he can't just go at 6pm. There is no reason to go during the only bit of time you get to spend with your daughter. He thinks I'm being controlling. I reply the gym is more important than spending time with your daughter. It's starting to drive me insane. Am I being unreasonable??

Frustration rant about screen time shaming.

I constantly see moms posting about how their baby is screen free, how they leave their baby to play and get on with stuff and it’s draining to see.

my daughter is 9 months in a few days and does not use screens unless absolutely necessary to keep her distracted whilst I have to do something or we are travelling far and she is bored of all her toys and snacks.

I have a fomo baby who is VERY active. Attention span in toys is 2 seconds, gets bored very easy, is very clingy. I constantly rotate toys, get new toys, leave her to play, give her snacks but sometimes it’s not possible to do things with her after she’s bored of all her toys and snacks. I also give her things that are not toys like plastic cutlery and Containers etc but still it lasts 5 mins.

So I have to give a little bit of screen to just quickly get some stuff done. And I do feel that there’s some type of shaming online and in real life. Even from influencers who constantly say ‘this is my baby playing without screens whilst I do things’. But it’s easier when ur baby isn’t a fomo baby. I feel like parents or moms with very fomo active babies are very misunderstood.

I do want to say my daughter has about 10 mins of screen time in a whole week if that. But also does mean a lot of household work is not done or is done very slowly :/

Also any advice would help

Holiday

A few questions for those who have travelled with a baby:

✈️ How old was your little one when you took them on their first holiday?

🧳 What were your must-have items that you were really glad you packed?

🌞 Were there any things you wish you’d taken with you or anything you packed that you didn’t end up using?

We’re taking our little girl on her first holiday soon and I’d really appreciate any tips or advice from those who’ve done it before. Thank you! ❤️

I need help

Girls what we doing with baby when you’re about to shit yourself 😂. I can’t leave her for 2 minutes she’s all over the place touching things putting stuff in her mouth but I’ve just had to rush upstairs because I nearly shat myself 😂now panicking because I have no clue what she’s doing downstairs and I don’t want to bring her in the toilet with me because it’s gross

Routine does not fucking exist

Been baby wearing for the last hour and half.. managed to put him down in moses basket settled. My middle child (3yrs old) decides to go for a poo UPSTAIRS and make all manner of noises and now baby is awake 😮‍💨😫 nature called for me too, im writing this as im sat on toilet emptying my bowels.. all while waiting for the baby to start crying for me. Fuck sake. I'm so touched out. My kids can not be quiet, have to be making noise every second. We have a big house and even the furthest room baby can't settle for long. I csnt be wearing him alllllllll day.
Nothing is getting sorted and I'm going out of my mind. Eldest is 4.5yrs old and winds me up every chance he gets. No point to this I guess

What do you guys mean by ‘it’s a season’ - when does the season finish

I want to feel normal again. Normal as in my nervous system isn’t always in fight or flight. Normal as in not feeling like I can’t breath all day and constantly wanting to cry. Normal as in not depressed. I have 1 baby. I want another but only because I believe life will calm down when they’re a toddler or out of the toddler phase. I believe I’ll be able to sleep a little longer in bed while they watch tv or play in my room. I believe it’ll be easier to get in the car without worrying about diaper bags, strollers, and physically carrying a baby and their stuff. I look forward to being able to clean without having to stop every minute or two because a bay is crying that I can just yell instructions to them. I want to be able to have them play without me constantly being involved. I want two kids with some autonomy back. Is it a season for a short time or do you guys mean like not until they’re in first grade 😭
