WWYD. Would this bother you?

I have a friend who is always checking out what we do, what we buy, how we do this or that, etc... When she comes to our home she mentions how nice this, how nice that, asks where we buy stuff, mentions how we “don't settle for regular things”. Every single time.

Comments about our shelves, towels, napkins, tablecloth, chairs, clothes, toys, plants, bag, mats, water bottles, Keychain, anything...

At the beginning I didn't think anything about it, I thought it was her way of giving a compliment. But after making the same comments every time we meet, it is a bit much and it feels like I am being scrutinized.

After we visit my family she asks my toddler - not me- how big is my parents house, how many rooms... I thought that was so weird and inappropriate. I am starting to feel she is getting kind of privy to our life and a bit obsessed.

Later I started noticing she would try to copy the same things. Again, at the beginning it didn't bother me, but after a while I found it weird she would want to buy the same things and I feel it is not normal.

I know it is not the end of the world but it has made me want to avoid her.

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.

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

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?

Baby activities

What activities are you doing with your babies? Do u travel often with the baby or usually stay around the house? I m mostly in the neighbourhood all day and if i have to travel it makes me anxious cause i have to take the tube but in the same time i’d like to do something different time to time even though she s still quite small, 11 weeks ☺️
