Pram/Stroller Recommendations

Hi!
We currently have a travel system but the seat part doesn't collapse with the chassis and it's becoming a pain to load into the car and store. Any recommendations on good collapsing prams/strollers? I'm looking for something that's good abroad too! It doesn't necessarily need to be another travel system, just anything really! X

Am I the a**hole?

So our baby is 8 months old, not a great sleeper but I'm not used to waking up every hour/2 hours ever night 😭😂
Basically partner works Monday -Friday 9-3:30 which I understand is still draining, my partner doesn't have to wake up for anything at night as I breastfeed so it's just me that baby will settle for at the moment (I sleep in the same room as baby )
As I don't get much time to myself day or night as baby goes to bed around 6:30pm and I stay with her for the night, sometimes on the weekend I just want an hour or 2 just to relax but my partner says "well I haven't had any time to myself"
But they have from 6:30 until they go to sleep every night plus uninterrupted sleep?!
Am I the a hole for wanting a little time to myself?

AITAH or is he?

Husband slept on sofa last night because I was too tired to be intimate (I had been awake from 5am with our baby who had me up throughout the night). This morning our toddler woke at 5.30am and my husband decided to go to the gym at 6am for two hours before work and woke me up to be with our toddler even though I’ve been up every 1–2hrs with our 6 month old baby. I feel so exhausted, he doesn’t do any of the night wakings with the baby. I feel like he’s prioritising gym over my basic need to sleep and then punishing me when i say im too tired for sex. Am I being dramatic or is this a shitty thing to do?

Do you style your school aged child's hair or just comb/brush it? Not your toddler

I know I send my child to school with her hair styled, but however she looks at the end of the school day is always a mystery. So I wonder are there parents who don't style at all?

also realize this demographic may bring about different answers because we don't all have the same hair or hair needs~

Stranger touched my newborns hand

I was out for a coffee today and an old lady touched my 4 week old baby's hand. I know she was well intentioned & I belive she had a learning disability, but I've been completely freaking out since getting home.

I used wet wipes on his hands when I was at the cafe and put his scratch mittens on so that he couldnt put his hands in his mouth. When we got home I put some hand sanitizer on my hands and the rubbed the excess onto his hands, but before wiping it off with another wet wipe.

I'm so scared that he's going to get sick and I cannot stop myself from spiralling. I know its irrational and that this type of thing happens to lots of babies, but I feel sick with worry right now & can't stop crying. Has anyone else had a similar experience and did things turn out okay?

Hair cut

I have all four boys and they only got there first hair cut at age 1. I’m determined for my last LO to do the same but all the comments I get from family are rude. But I’m standing my ground. With that being said when did you do the first hair cut. Picture attached for tax.
