I need to get this of my Chest

My baby is about 4 weeks old and my partner’s extended family invited him over for their son’s one year old party. He has decided to go for the party which is 3 hours drive away. I did not sleep well last night and tbh nor did he from looking after our baby. Am I being over the top but I am so offended that my partner decided to go when I am literally so tired and exhausted as today we even had a baby shoot earlier. I wouldn’t have an issue with him going if the baby was much older. Also my baby hasn’t even been immunised. Now my mum is having to come over to get me. I’m just fed up honestly guys.

Did he leave you with the baby? It sounds like both of you are probably too tired and it’s OKAY to go back on an invitation accept, especially since your child is only ONE MONTH old. Anybody who has issues with that is absolutely ridiculous and doesn’t know at all what it’s like to have children that are dependent on them 24/7. Not sure what your husband was thinking 🤣 but I would give him some grace and realize he’s also exhausted and probably just felt rude not going to the party. Don’t take it out on him just as him to fix it I would say. Or just tell him to never do something like that again against your approval bc you’re a team.

How would you handle this?

My daughter fell down a flight of stairs today in school. She asked to go to the nurse but the nurse was on lunch when she went. She was never sent back and she came home from school limping. She's 7. She was crying in pain and then I have her some Tylenol and an ice pack and she's been running around and doing cart wheels and horsing around with her sisters and seems fine now. What would you do? Not sure if I should leave it alone or what

How would you feel about this? My neice (persian) who is 4 has a bit of a mustache (not that noticeable but from close up you can tell) and my brother keeps asking her why she has a mustache! Shes 4!!!

Shes at that stage where now shes noticing her body even more and it breaks my heart. My sister has fought with him about it but he still does it. They both live together. His wife just smirks and shes a psychologist. I need advice because its pissing me off

Nursery

Hi my daughter left nursery last year to start school she had been there since she was 9 months old. My youngest is due to start there in September she’ll be 11 months old we never thought to look round it as it’s the same manager and most of the staff are the same so thought what would change. But my friend went to look round it today for her son and she said the pre school room was so messy and hectic and she felt like the staff were just watching the children not actually playing with them.
Now I’m in two minds of what to do. Is this ok for a preschool room to be like this? Or have they taken on too much that they can handle (I know they have to have ratios but the ratio is ridiculous)

Giving up on trying

I feel so alone rn my bf (not my sons father) doesn’t help with the baby or anything if I go to the store I need to bring th baby if I make food I need to have the baby so I ask him to do those things he’s not working or anything he plays videos games and doesn’t do much at all all I did was ask for help today since I was throwing up and he’s wanted to come at me with a smart ass mouth and be a dick to me so I did it on my own with a 3 month old on my hip i just feel like I need to do everything or I’ll get bitched at sorry just venting I guess im just so overwhelmed

Bread??

Is it safe to give a 9 month old bread/sandwich? He’s got his two bottom teeth. Even tho my daughter is only 2 I cannot remember if she was eating bread at this age.
