My husband bought me flowers and 2 cards and hand written in one of them to tell me how much he appreciated me for everything I do

So my husband is now saying sorry I bought you flower and cards I guess it wasn’t the right time to do that. Which I don’t even know what that means. He is so unpredictable all the time and I just never know what’s going on anymore. I asked him why and he doesn’t give a good answer so now I’m wondering is it something I did or didn’t do? I don’t know I’m so confused.

My baby is 8 weeks old...just looking for ideas

Kissing baby!

Hey guys I’m really not sure how to approach this situation or if I’m being to crazy.

My son is 6 months old and I’m still not comfortable with anyone kissing him other than me and my husband. There has been instances where my parents have accidentally kissed him on the side of his head and I’ve reminded them please don’t kiss him. And my parents don’t like it but they respect it.

Well tonight my mother in law kissed my son on the back of his head as we were saying goodbye. I couldn’t tell if it was full lips on his head or like half lip check thing on his head like a side kiss . I didn’t say anything as it’s harder for me to set boundaries with my in laws and I wasn’t 100% sure if it was a full kiss or side kiss.

I talked to my husband about it to see if maybe he can talk to her about it and just tell her it’s ok accidents happen but please don’t kiss him. My husband thinks I’m being a germ freak about it and that it’s ok since it was just the back of his head. I honestly think he doesn’t want to message her about it at all.

I just still don’t feel comfortable with people kissing him. And maybe in the future as he’s older I would be ok with a side of a head kiss but I’m also hesitant because we have family members on his and my side who get cold sores so idk if I would ever fully feel ok with anyone kissing him.

So my question is do I just text his mom myself about since it looks like my husband is hesitant about it or are head kisses ok!? I’m just a little worried if I allow head kisses now that my boundaries will continue to get pushed.
( me and his mom have a good relationship now but in the past we haven’t seen eye to eye to I do have some trauma from that and it’s really hard for me to approach a situation)

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?

Am I overthinking?

I have friends who are also mums and we are in a little groupchat. Everyday, 2 of my friends constantly say "I'm gonna get rid of these kids" or "I'm going to throw these kids in the trash if they keep pissing me off" mind you, 2 of the kids are under 3 (one being a 4 month old) and one is autistic. These jokes really don't sit well with me especially when they say it all the time. I fully understand being exhausted and overstimulated by toddlers. Trust me, my toddler can really drive me up the wall but I can't imagine joking about wanting to get rid of him. I mentioned it to them in a nice way obviously and they got defensive saying "you're overreacting" and that I just don't get the joke.

Am I just being too sensitive? I get that these are jokes and they most likely won't do that to their children but if I heard my mum say that about me Id be heartbroken.

Nervous system goes crazy every time newborn cries

I’m a FTM and just had my son on 6/3. Before him I literally have had zero experience with babies. I was the youngest in my family so I never even baby sat or really had a ton of interaction with kids ESPECIALLY not with newborns. Needless to say this is all completely foreign territory for me. Although, I had 9 months to mentally prepare for this ( as well as 9 years with my husband to discuss and decide that we def wanted a child lol) I am trying to address his every need immediately so he doesn’t cry or scream, it breaks my heart to hear him upset and makes me feel awful. I am dropping everything and running to him as soon as I hear any squeak of what I’m interpreting as discomfort. I feel like I’ve come a long way in two weeks though, the first night was TOUGH for the three of us. Things are getting a bit easier and we are learning his cues pretty quickly. I’m on maternity leave for 6 months & my husband owns his own plumbing company and had to go back to work pretty soon after his birth so I’m alone with my son all day and pretty much all night. Does anyone else feel this way when their baby cries? Will this feeling ever relax within me? Any advice on what I could do to calm myself and him when he’s upset would be wonderful! I’m a total newbie here 🫣
