Nannies/babysitters

I was wondering if you guys have either a nanny or babysitter. I’m trying to save my job and I’m very worried about having a stranger watch my baby. My family and her dad’s family are busy with their lives and just wanted to know what yall recommend for a babysitter or nanny.

Venting

My husband lets the baby cry her lungs out till she falls asleep she’s only 1 month old. Maybe im tripping idk, but it makes me upset when he does this because how hard is it to soothe her? It’s not hard and just seeing her laying there crying her lungs out, turning red and tears coming down her face breaks my heart. Obviously I would step in, but I have a feeling he does this so I would stop asking him to watch the baby or take care of here while I get things done. I’ve talked to him about it and he just brushes it off and says “she needs to cry it out”. Has anyone’s partner done the same ?

Need advice

So I’ve been with my fiance for about 2.5 years. I got pregnant pretty much as soon as we got together. I never wanted kids, but decided that since he already had kids, it would be okay. Fast forward two years later, I’m a stay at home mom who has never not worked a day in her life. My husband is the sole provider and he doesn’t make enough money for us to comfortably live. I can’t go back to work bc we don’t have family and daycare is expensive. All we do is stress about money and fight about stupid shit. I’ve felt like I lost my purpose. I feel like I made a mistake. I’m so in love with him. But this is not the life I want. Idk what to do, or how to tell him.

Do you force your kids to say sorry?

If they don't mean it, it takes away the power of forgiveness imo. But don't know how else to handle it...

What do you think?

My partner has hay fever and asked me to marinate some chops he’d bought. I’ve been trying to stop automatically taking on extra household tasks because I already feel like I do a lot around the house, so I replied, “Why don’t you try doing it so you can learn?” Looking back, I can see that may have sounded sarcastic or patronizing. He got upset, and later when I called and offered to do it anyway, he said I was a “soulless bitch” who didn’t care about him. When I told him that was hurtful, he said I was playing the victim. He also called me “useless” and said he’d rather be alone. I’m trying to work out whether we both handled this badly, or whether his reaction crossed a line. What do others think?
