It’s not right that Mothers are mothers 24/7 & get ridiculed on not doing enough while men get to be a parent 3 hours a day or less & no one says anything.

Women and mothers are the caregiver, the chef, laundry attendant, house cleaner, always on mental alert, making appointments and plans, driving the kids where they need to go, buying food wipes diapers clothes shoes, the leader of the pack….i just feel we don’t get enough credit from the fathers. But the moment the mom needs a break or a breather, a shower, or mental silence , it’s an issue with them. We’re the crazy ones. I’m so done with men and wish I never gave my body to them

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!

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. 😂

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?

Dad rant !!

So listen, my husband is great but at the moment he's irritating the life out of me.

We have 2 kids under 2.

I am doing every night feed as well as morning feeds & nappies for both kids whilst he goes for a 95 hour shit. And he is now sat fully falling asleep whilst I do 60909 things at once. I'm intrigued to know why hes so tired when he's had a full 8 hours sleep & I've had about 4 broken. He has adhd so he needs to be told what to do ie jobs in the house so i'm constantly having to ask for things to be done. He will do them with no hesitation but I just wish he'd think for himself instead of needing a list.

I feel like he gets to just mooch around the house/garden & do what he wants whilst I have to say "watch the kids so i can xyz"

I told him to watch the kids whilst I sorted the bottles & he just sat on his phone and didn't think to play with the toddler. Shes chill & fine playing alone but why would you not want to?!

I'm doneeee in and I'm fully starting to resent him. Am I being an absolute arsehole?
