Am I too clingy or is my husband the problem

I’ve been married to my husband for almost 7 years, we’ve had some rough times with the loss of a baby after birth a couple of years ago and currently have a 2 year old. I can tell he definitely loves our son however he spends too much time on his phone and sometimes I feel he ignores him too. Whenever he gets home after work he will be on his phone and turn the TV on which I really don’t like. He never says I love you or gives compliments unless I say it first.. rarely he might hug me or kiss me without prompted but I’ve noticed most of the times he does it he wants sex. He says he believes he is in the spectrum, doesn’t see my eyes or face when I speak to him, I’ve told him about this bothering me multiple times and I just feel nothing changes. We’ve had multiple discussions, the last one was about how O wish he at least said if he liked something when I cook (we both work and usually I would cook and he does the dishes and helps with cleaning the house) I asked him to say if he likes something to which he said that I wouldn’t like him being honest with me because I would get mad at him telling me he doesn’t like my food. That really hurt my feelings because I considere my food tastes ok and have had multiple other people told me they liked it, the point is even when I asked him to say something positive he found a way to turn it into a negative. He then said he didn’t mean it, I just don’t understand, how can someone who says that loves you can’t find small ways to show you they love you without having to ask all the time.

Child car parking spaces! Need tlc

So I was just in B&Q and the child’s spaces were taken, so I had to park in a small space towards the back, struggle to get my three month old out of the Baby seat in a tight space, then walk across a a car park full of vans with low visibility.

As I walked past the child car parking spaces there is a woman loading her car clearly with no children. I said excuse me did you realise these spaces were for cars carrying children?

In summary, she said yes, but she needed to load and it’s closer. I asked if she would treat a disabled space like that and she said yes she would park in a disabled place if she needed to, because she sees disabled people parking in the children’s spaces.

I pointed she doesn’t have any children in the car and she doesn’t have a disabled badge so she shouldn’t park in either and that she should be more considerate. Then she starts shouting at me and her husband comes out and starts cussing me off.

I just walked away, but I’m feeling pretty good knowing perhaps she will think twice about doing it next time now someone’s confronted her.

What do you think, ladies, was it worth it? I need some tlc!

Childcare Funding

Hey everyone, I’m a bit confused about the free childcare funding and was hoping someone could help.

At the moment, I get the 15 hours funded childcare. I’ve seen online and heard from a friend that it’s now increased to 30 hours, so I wanted to apply. However, when I log into my childcare account, I can only see the option to renew as normal every 3 months and can’t find anywhere to apply for the 30 hours.

Am I supposed to request the extra hours through GOV.UK, or is it something the nursery arranges? Just wondering if I’m missing something. Thanks! 😊

Baby groups

I feel guilty because I've not been to any baby groups with this baby! He's 8 weeks and with my first born I was going to at least 3 a week at this age.
But now I've got a newborn and toddler I feel like my days are just so busy I haven't got the time to go to groups. My toddler goes to nursery 4 days a week so it's not like she's at home either. But I'm still just so busy.
Does anyone else feel the same?
I feel like I should push myself and make the effort but tbh my little boy sleeps most of the day anyway so I don't think he'd stay awake for any groups yet. 😂

Im embarrassed

I have a son he's 2 I been raising him alone I don't have any family help I work I'm basically living paycheck to paycheck I texted my son dad asking him for 25 dollars for pull up and wipes no reply I been calling everyone in the state I live to see if I can get pull ups or even diapers so I can on here to see if I can get more information for free diapers a lady on here told me she will venmo the money and she disappeared so I called 211 in my state no help I even called the nearest food pantry no help I don't know what to do I want to give up I know it's hard for everyone at the moment I don't know what else to do

Roles in the home.

I’m due with our second child in a few weeks and we’re re-having the discussion on roles and who does what. Husband is convinced because I’m a sahm and he works that he is not obligated to do anything at home and I mean anything. He will refuse to help with newborn in anyway just as he did with our first. As well as chores around the house and anything you can think of. He truly believes he shouldn’t have to do a single thing in our home. What are your guys thoughts?

Best potty training product recomendations?

We want to do a mini potty in the playroom, a potty seat for the big toilet, and a stool to get to the potty in a VERY small bathroom for our 16 month old. Looking for stable, easy to clean, and a good splash guard.

Also, bonus question, sticker chart or mini M&M's?
