Boys peeing

So my boy is potty trained (except for sleeping). Anyway the problem is we keep having little spills on the potty because the urine shoots out the wrong way instead of dripping down into the potty. How do you stop this?

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.

Chia seeds

Want to start adding his seeds to babies porridge , do I need to soak them first or can I add them straight to porridge and then microwave ?

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

I am right to be annoyed?

Me and my husband have a nearly 3 year old and a 4 month old
The only day we get as a family is a Saturday because every Sunday is taken up with him at golf. He promised when we had our second he would do it every other weekend. That happened for aboir a month then back to old habits.
I never tell him he can't go but I will make it obvious I am not impressed every week. Now my son is old enough to be upset when daddy goes off to golf its becoming hard.
Am I right in being annoyed or shall I just let him get on with it? I don't want to stop him doing things he enjoys, it makes him happy. I think even if I tried to stop him he'd still go.

How much do you share with people in your family or friends?

Is so interesting when I look at my siblings on my mom's side we don't really share information with each other unless we have to but when I look at the supplies on my dad's side they expect for you to share everything with them and they share everything with you. If so different when I look at it how does it work for you?

Moms in the south

What are you doing for fun with kids? It’s almost 100 here in South Carolina, way too hot for a baby. But I’m going mental being in the house and I don’t want to just go to a store. I have a portable fan and all that stuff but still too hot. We are originally from the north so much easier to get the kids out in the summer. I have an almost 8 week old and 7 year old so I’m so limited with the heat. But i prefer to be outside most of the day but now we can’t with the baby.
