I don’t feel like doing anything for my husband for Father’s Day

I don’t feel like doing anything for my husband this Father’s Day. I always surprise him for his birthday and father’s day but when it comes to me I get nothing for my birthday two months ago I don’t even think this man said happy birthday to me. At the end of that night I felt like crying. I’ve talked to him about that so many times he always comes up with the same excuse you never like what I get you. Last Mother’s Day he got me a big lemonade thing that same Mother’s Day morning he went to the store to get diapers and got it I couldn’t even store it in the cabinet I smiled and said thank you but I guess I wasn’t enthusiastic enough for him. For his birthday I bought him multiple gifts got balloons and decorated our room surprised him when he got home from work but I never get anything. We’ve been together for 6 years married 2 years. We have two little kids. Am I an asshole?.

Ima add me and my daughter share the same birthday. I spent the whole day doing stuff for her and making sure her birthday party was good. I didn’t even get a cake for myself.

Ice-cream for toddler

I was at the playground today and another mum was giving out ice-creams to the kids (Magnum style with chocolate and caramel). She asked if my son would like one and I explained that he's not really had things like that yet, but thanked her anyway. She seemed shocked and asked how old he is, when I said 20 months she was like "awww that's crazy"

It was really kind of her to offer him the ice-cream but it made me feel like she saw me as a cruel and mean mum when I didn't take it. My son does have things like muffins that I make, digestive biscuits, fruit yoghurts etc but I'm holding off on giving him really sugary treats for as long as possible as he doesn't know the difference yet.

What do you think?

What have I done?

I have a 3 weeks old and I'm starting to really freak out. I love him and will do anything I need to make sure he's happy healthy and safe but I'm terrified I've made a mistake! I don't know how to be a mum. I dont like other peoples children. I dont want to loose my identity and I'm so scared of messing up because again I do love him. I'm not enjoying this and starting to feel like I've trapped myself in a prison. I just want to be happy and I want to enjoy my baby but I feel so scared and lost. Please tell me this is normal and it will pass?

A mate told me I’m a bad mum for not being a SAHM

Out for dinner with girls, usually 5 of us been same way since collage, my son has just turned two and i admited I couldn’t hack being a stay at home mum, I work three days a week, have two days with my son which i love having I’m not saying I want to work more, then obv weekend but then my husband is around for help, and I simply said I don’t think I could hack 5 days at home with my son, and praises them for how that can do it, as this age is tough! And dinner table went a little silent, all other 4 girls are stay at home mums, one said “the greatest mums put their whole hart into their kids, we just trying to do our best… oh not saying your not but some struggle it’s okay” but the way she said id was defo a dig. now I married for love, some of them married for money and some half & half id say but being the only one that works and the last to have a baby I feel like bit of a outsider now, and that was just nail in coffin. Non have reached out to me since, one of the girls is my twin sister and she told me there has been a new group chat made for one the other girls 40th’s when she asked why I wasnt invited she replied “she’s prob working or tired from having her son so though just best us mummy girls” I told my sister all due respect but that’s fine with me, they are her kinda people not really mine anymore, they all set sighs to be SAHM since high school and good for them for reaching that goal, where I wanted a career. I said maybe it’s time I found my own kinda people… but that’s 15 years of friendships and weekly dinners down drain because I’m ambitious and find toddler stage harder than expected 🤣 anyone ever had to start again friends wise if there thirties?

Is it bad that i love having a velcro baby😭

Dont get me wrong it's exhausting, I really really need a break before I go mental, but part of me loves like when we go places and people want to hold him but he just wants me. My first born has always been very independent, she was a perfect baby. My second though, everyone knows he's my velcro baby. He can't go more than 10 minutes in someone else's arms. 😂 it's just kind of nice to feel needed. I'm just enjoying it while it lasts cause I'm sure once he starts walking he'll need me less 🥲

Help relationship

My husband is what I call a “ work wife” they don’t follow eachother on social medias but he always brings her up they have bonded over fishing like aquariums etc, they talk about that at work, he told me they are trading..she is going to give him a tank that’s huge and in exchange he is going to give her this gravel or dirt that he has that he doesn’t need. I’ve never liked her bc her personality and how she is just hoe and skanky…is what I’ve heard and seen from her. They must talk alot at work, I never find anything on his phone, I don’t go through it tho. Or look. It just always has given off a weird vibe to me and idk. If I’m being dramatic or crazy. They never hangout outside of work or anything, he’s always like she did this and we talked about this today, and I hate it. And that she always says how cute our baby is and that she was going to give aquarium plants to him but never did, or she took a picture of him at work and said she was going to send it to me but never did? Like where’s the photo and why did you take it of my husband? Idk am I being insecure?
