I just need to vent

So me and my baby daddy have been split for around 5 months, I live with my mom and fully take care of my baby girl. Bd works nights and works Sunday night-Thursday night. A few months ago he would come to my mom’s house on Fridays and see baby girl, that was until he started destroying my stuff. He cut my Vera Bradley back pack ( like 5-6 different places) and also cut my dresser ( too many places to count). He stopped coming to my moms to visit because of this and he also just could not respect my boundaries, like not touching me or giving me personal space. He also does NOT get along with my mom because of comments he makes to the both of us. For the past like two months I have been going to his mom’s house which is around 45-50 minutes away. It has gotten slightly better than it did in the beginning but he still makes his smart remarks, I’ve just learned to ignore them at this point. When we were together we got a car for baby, it was a 2025 Chevy trailblazer and was perfect for what we needed. He sold the car in my name (big mistake) to get himself a little work car. I didn’t really plan on things turning out the way they do obviously but he did give me a check for my car he sold like 2 months ago. I have went without a car since I moved in with my mom, he has a truck, a little work car, and then the new car we had got. I have not had a job since baby girl was born, we were doing the whole sahm thing and both agreed that’s what was best. My mom has been letting me use her car when I need it and she does have a jeep she can drive (I can’t because it’s a stick 😅) my sister also works from home 3 days of the week so If anything happened and I were in need of transportation I usually do have that. So last weekend my family went to the beach and had the best time, bd was absolutely pissed because he ofc was not welcome to come. He didn’t see her last Saturday but he has absolutely been on my ass about seeng her this Saturday (today). Last night he asked what time I would be at his moms and I told him anywhere from 10-12 depending on when baby girl last ate and how long it took to get ready. He informed me around 8 that he had an appointment at 9 that he forgot about and he wouldn’t be at his moms until 12-12:30. I was very confused on what appointment because it’s Saturday and he would not tell me where he was. I got to his moms house around 11:45 and let him know I made it there and asked if he had a guess to when he’d be there and it turned into 1:30-2 but no later. I sat at his moms until 3 and he rolls up in a brand new lifted heavy duty ford truck. I was annoyed for many reasons but he was all smiley and proud and I could have blown a fuse. For one, Saturdays are his days and he had been on me to see her all week and then didn’t even show up until 3, secondly he didnt work yesterday so why didn’t he do it then? Lastly he has not gave me a single dime for our baby girl in the last 3 months. I get free diapers through her insurance and I have been pulling out of the money he gave me for my car but I’ve really been trying to save that so I can get transportation for myself. The thing that really got me though is baby girl hadn’t took a nap since we had got there and started getting overtired, I was ready to go myself and it was around 4 at this point so I packed the car up and got her car seat all ready to go and he said “ you’ll leave when I’m ready for you to” he has said and done way way worse things but it really just hit a nerve because we had waited around on him all day for him to do something that was for him. I’m just aggravated and over his bs at this point. thanks for reading my rant 🥴

Girl if he has a whole total of what? Three cars!? I would make his ass drive to pick up baby girl smh. You’re making it easier on him make him work to see his daughter especially if he’s not giving you a single dime to spend. And believe me men like that don’t change so you’re better off putting him on child support. Men like that do anything to see you miserable they like to feed onto that. And they especially don’t like to see you happy 🫤.

Left my husband alone with baby out of frustration.

My husband was away in Europe for two weeks (for leisure) and during that time I stayed out of state with my parents to get some help with the baby. We returned home last Sunday, and since then I've been taking care of the baby all week, which I understand because I'm currently on maternity leave while he's working.

The last two nights have been especially hard. Our 3 month old has been struggling to go back to sleep after her 1–2 a.m. feed, so I've barely slept. I've been in and out of sleep because she's constantly moving around in her bassinet.

Every Sunday, my husband goes to play soccer from around 6 - 9am Before he left this morning, I told him how exhausted I was, and he said he would watch the baby when he comes back so I could rest. He came home around 8:30 am; and I was getting the baby ready because we had a photoshoot scheduled for 11:30 am. He watched her for about an hour before telling me he plans to go to his friend's house later to watch the game.

We ended up arguing because I was under the impression that he would take care of the baby for the day so I could finally get some rest. Fast forward, when we got home from the photoshoot, I prepared the baby's bottle, asked him to feed her, and set up her portable bassinet next to him in the living room before going to the bedroom to rest.

About an hour later, he brought the sleeping baby into the room, placed her in the bassinet beside me, and walked out!

At that point, I got up, grabbed my keys, and left the house. I'm currently sitting in my car trying to get some rest, and I don't plan on going back home until later tonight.

I know he's been working, but I feel hurt, unsupported, and frustrated. I communicated that I was exhausted and needed help, and instead, it felt like my need for rest wasn't taken seriously. He’s being extremely selfish & inconsiderate and I’m fed up!

Am I in the wrong? Should I stay out or go back home 😭. I’m even considering booking a hotel for the night.

THIS IS TRASH 🗑️ 😭 my child puked on the floor of the corner shop.

We went for a walk and I noticed my son kept bringing one hand to his chest but I wasn't sure why. When we got to the corner store he threw up all over their floor and I asked them for stuff to clean it up. They gave me THREE paper towels, no one got a wet sign or cornered off the area or grabbed a mop. My son was covered in puke, my other son cried because he wanted candy and my baby was crying too. So I left. They clearly didn't care for it to be cleaned up.

Book recommendations for 5 year old girl

My daughter loves reading and has started to enjoy reading independently, can anyone recommend stories that she can read herself?

Thanks 😀

Anyone else feel like they’re drowning..

Everywhere I look in my house there is mess, my washing basket is constantly full, thinking of what to make for dinner, doing a food shop, trying to make food now for baby too (and them eating hardly any of it).. it’s all just too much!! How the hell are we supposed to do all this and more when we go back to work. Then also try and get to baby classes, out for a walk, play with baby in their long wake windows now!! I’ve had bedding in my washing machine for 2 days that I’ve not had a chance to hang out! Before people say “get someone to look after your baby so you can get it done”, yes good plan but I’m so exhausted from lack of sleep that any time I get to myself I want to relax or sleep! I’m considering getting a cleaner to come in once a week so hopefully that will help (even though expensive). I’m actually thinking of just chucking away anything that doesn’t have a place so it stops stressing me out 😅🫠😵‍💫

So frustrated and feeling very depressed

I had been alone for 2 months just me and the baby , my husband comes home and he’s working 6 am to 7-8 pm so basically all day it’s just me and the baby he’s now been gone since Wednesday and doesn’t come back till tomorrow night .

I don’t like the way I’m feeling but it’s like I’ve been having strong emotions of going to sleep and not wanting to wake up
