My husband didn't say goodnight

So my husband has gone to Paris for a business trip and I am only 8 weeks PP. He has left me with a baby and another child as well as 2 cats and the cat has kittens. So there is a LOT to do. I am exhausted. Not only does the baby just not sleep but I have to be showered and ready for the school run by 8.30. It's just honestly a nightmare. Well I was fine with all of this as long as my husband just follows one simple effing rule. If he goes out drinking can he just call me when he gets home. Thats it. So this evening I tried to call him he ignored my calls eventually answers and I hear other voices including female voices. He tells me he's going for a work dinner. Ok. Why didnt he tell me before? Then I expected him to call me when it was over. He dodnt. Mind you we just had this argument last night because he did the same fucking thing so I reminded him all he has to do is call me to say goodnight. So obviously I think hes cheating on me. Im just so annoyed and angry and feeling emotional because if hes not cheating on me then what if he was on an accident or something? I am feeling sick with panic and anxiety. Honestly fuck him. Stupid fucking cunt. Thats all. Sorry just needed to rant.

What would you do in this situation?

I was at soft play with my 2 year old yesterday. Bear in mind I’m 20 weeks pregnant so chasing her around is becoming a mission.

We climbed up to the top level and there was a massive slide with 4 lanes, my little girl got there first before I manoeuvred myself through the floor gap. I see a kid at the bottom of the slide just walking around, he looked around 18 months old, no parent in sight.

Well before I could tell my girl to wait, she slides down and as she’s sliding he walks directly in front of the end of her lane (initially he wasn’t in front of her lane but the one over) and she takes him out completely. He fell backwards and hit his head on the plastic.

I climb back down and grab my girl and we go to make sure he’s okay. His mum picked him up and he was sobbing (understandably). I told the mum that my girl took him out accidentally and I apologised.

I don’t know if that was the right thing to do or not, the woman didn’t seem too impressed with me and the whole situation was really awkward. If she had watched her child in the first place it wouldn’t have happened 😩

Screen free moms: how do you feel about working so hard to keep your kids screen free and then they go to school just for everything to be on computers and screens

This is just a random thought i had, i have no judgement for the choice to go completely screen free or not, im back and forth with it all the time. I was just thinking about how in school education has gotten so technology forward and kids don’t hardly do anything in pencil and paper anymore. Does that bother any parents or is it just kinda an issue what it is situation. I don’t have school age kids yet but I was just curious as to what other parents think about it all.

Nursery

Going on a nursery tour tomorrow, what questions did you all ask? I went on one today and was bombarded with that much information I couldn't think of anything to ask them

Am I Being Selfish??

Hi everyone! FTM here! i need some advice about the convo me and my partner have been having.. he wants everyone to come and see our baby at the hospital i however, don’t want anyone there. he’s talking about his brothers, mother, stepdad, bio dad, grandma and grandad to come see our baby boy again, i do not.
My family live 3hrs away so its not an option for me whatsoever and I’ve come to terms with that. my point is, i want to spend time with the family i now have, i dont want people coming to see our son just after he’s been born and everything i’ve emotionally and physically had to go through.
Am i being selfish? he seems quite upset by the matter which i dont want but i don’t want to see my own family after going through it let alone his (would also like to say i do get on with his family and they seem fine that we want to be in our bubble, his mum even advices me to)

When should I stop taking toddler meal to restaurant ?

For context we enjoy going out for dinner. My toddler is 17 months and I always take something for her that I know she will like and will take her a while to eat so that we have some time to enjoy our mains. We've ordered twice before - once was pizza and she screamed when it came out as she was hungry but couldn't have it until it cooled (which took ages!) and another time we got something from the Thai that she would eat at home but she had 2 bites and wouldn't eat the rest. We're going for a roast on Sunday (which she doesn't like) so I was planning on taking something. Is it still acceptable to do that at 17 months?

Quick lunches

How are you guys feeding yourselfs when solo with baby? I have a two week old and remembering to / having time to eat is proving difficult so I've been having meal replacement drinks like huel as I'm breastfeeding so need to make sure I'm getting some calories in.
