Am i right to think this is unreasonable

My ex and i have 5.5month baby boy..
He sees him for 1.5 hrs each week (if that) at my sisters supervised because he nowhere near capable of caring for him alone. He cant change a nappy, hes dropped him multiple times (luckily my sister caught him everytime). When he was tiny he couldnt hold him safely and nearly snapped his neck a few times by letting his head fall right back. These are just a few things. Hes not aloud him alone as my son is dimply not safe with him and he also is not aload to drive with my son due to his dangerous driving. 3 serious crashes, countless near misses with cars and pedestrians, speeding, and simply lack of awarness. Hes should noy have a licence ( high up police officer i know said this)
Hes emotionally abusive and a down right bully that doesnt like the word no.
Hes now asking my sister to ask me gor any days out i have planned so he can come along too..firstly our son has absolutely no clue about anything yey and will more than likely be asleep, secondly he makes me so anxious, thurdky why on earth would i want to spebd my family time with someone who was abusive and caused me so much grief.
His reasoning is because i let my daughters dad in my house and we take her out sometimes...so i should also allow him round and allow him to come on days out. I have very minimal contact with my sons dad because i said hes a bully.
Pleaee someone confirm this is unreasonable.

This isn't unreasonable. How is he dropping a child when changing a nappy letting them roll off a table? Make him change them on the floor on a matt.
Has this man got learning problems or just a nutter?
I'd let him tag along but honestly do all the work girl hopefully he'll slowly drift out of the picture if his genuinely unsafe for your child to be around and causing so much anxiety

So sorry your going through this! He doesn’t sound like someone who should have any extra responsibilities or time, the baby is still so young. There is plenty of time for days out in the future! Not supporting a babies head is so careless I was horrified reading that, no excuses for that 😭

No full stop not unreasonable best bit of advice I can give you is go to citizens advice and be honest but neutral with what you are saying and they will confirm what you are doing is not wrong and will tell you how to manage it if needed z

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?

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.

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?

What’s your thoughts about this kind of mom?

If you see a mom with kids, elementary level kids, not behaving in public place and the mom told the kids to stop fooling around and behave so many times yet they still don’t listen she ended up spanking(not that hard) on their back or grabbing their arm and saying I said stop it but deep whispering voice right at their face how do you feel?
