Is this a c^nt move or am I “overreacting”

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant and got most stuff for baby bean and me and my partner have celebrated mothers day and Father’s Day and I got him a present that he’s wanted for years and it was only like £20 and he got me some stuff for Mother’s Day. All my family told him to get stuff for me and said to me I can’t get anything for him when he spent over £100 on me for Mother’s Day. And I told my sister that I got him something and she started screaming at me saying spend all my money on baby when I’ve skipped out on everything like gender reveals because she didn’t want to go and didn’t want to book a day off 2 MONTHS in advance (so did my mum) and I mean all I need to get baby now because I’m not finding out the gender until birth is the pram set and I shouted back that I have everything I need for MY baby because my side of the family have made the baby into a group project and is actively trying to cut me and my partner out of stuff for our baby even though we made it and I am growing them. Sorry for the rant but I need to know if I should just cut them out of mine and my baby’s life. They also told my family nurse we aren’t capable of living alone and that I will get postpartum depression.

So so embarrassed 😭

Hello everyone,
Feeling super ashamed right now 😭 my daughter's 3 weeks old and it's been really rough. My husband is amazing and has been so so supportive the entire pregnancy and even now. I had preeclampsia and HG, he's been through a lot also, we didn't expect our little girl to make it.

He's just changed jobs after being offered a better wage, so this month is really tough. All the bills are paid, food on the table, everything my daughter could ever need but left us with 88p until payday.

I forgot it's Father's Day today, he's worked so so hard to support us and we've been through so much recently I forgot it's Father's Day. I know it's noone else's problem, but this is such an amazing community I thought I'd ask here incase someone has the ability to help and I can repay back when I'm paid.

I'm fully humiliated and I have some mum friends on here that's why I'm anonymous😭 if anyone could spare a few pounds so I can get this amazing man just even a big chocolate bar and a card to say thank you for letting me not stress during my pregnancy so I could focus on our health.

Good men are few and far between and he's our rock. Just want him to feel appreciated even though I couldn't ❤️

Thank you in advance and I fully understand I should have remembered, there's just a lot going on recently.

Thanks in advance

Is my partner being unreasonable?

We were driving back from my grandparents today on the motorway. My partner was driving, me in front passenger seat, toddler (2yo) and baby (8 weeks) in the back.

We came across some traffic, it was stop/start. We sped up again to 40mph then it slowed down again. The car in front had come to a complete stop and my partner didn't brake. We were so close to hitting them. I shouted 'woah woah woah' and put my hand up. It was just a reaction I didn't think about what I was saying it just came out.

My partner did an emergency stop and then shouted at me for panicking him. We had an argument and he said if I keep 'acting like that' he will drop me off at the train station and leave me there. He said I was panicking him unnecessarily.

I said I didn't feel it was unnecessary, I felt like he didn't brake soon enough and tbh I didnt think he realised the car in front had stopped. I believe 100% if I hadn't said anything he would've gone straight in the back of the car.

Idk how I'm supposed to feel but I feel really upset and hurt for doing what I think was right to keep our babies safe.

Is my partner right? Should I have kept quiet?

Fathers days and loss advice

So we are currently renovating our house and a lot of things are being chucked! My husband has just thrown the last present my dad ever gave me in the tip! Unbeknownst to me.

It wasn’t anything sentimental, it was just a large pretty glass vase that holds little house plants in. We always forget to water them and it can actually turn into a bit of “clutter” but once it’s tidied back up with some fresh plants it can look rather nice.

But because we’re being ruthless and a lot of things are being chucked, he thought he’d get rid of it.

“One less thing sitting gathering dust and getting unloved” he said.

Anyway I only lost my day a year ago and I just burst out crying. He did say sorry. It’s his Father’s Day too but I’m struggling to let it drop. I think I’m just sensitive right now.

But I can’t believe he did that.

Any words of wisdom?

Do you trust your intuition

I’ve known this man for about 7 years but now for the past 6 months we’ve moved to a relationship. He has my location, passwords and expects spicy stuff. I’m feel stupid for giving in but I have. I’ve requested to follow his insta but no response yet he can follow 3 of my mutuals. I don’t know I have this gut feeling like he’s going behind my back. I want to ask ask one of those mutuals if he’s talking them as while but I’m not sure if I’m just overreacting or just bring it up to him. I don’t really have anyone to talk to about this.
