Scribbling paper/card

I’m going to get my son some crayons and paper to scribble on but he’s quite rough so will need something sturdy, does anyone have any recommendations please?!

Do you think someone's garden is a reliable indicator of what the inside of their house is like?

I’m I wrong

So my mom just passed away from cancer last Tuesday, it was a horrible good bye. My husband has been very supportive, financially and being at home keeping the family together. I can tell it is getting to him, yesterday we had a small celebration with the kids , today is Father’s Day I feel bad but I really don’t feel like celebrating anything, I do want to go to church and out to eat with him to celebrate but he is upset that I didn’t plan anything else. I’m I wrong ?! I just feel so depressed and have no energy for anything.

Is this controlling?

I can't help but feel annoyed. My Husbands 1st Father's day today and I got him a dad t shirt and we went to the aquarium. He popped round his parents house this morning to drop off a card before we left and he came back with loads of gifts that his mum had bought him from my daughter... she didn't contact me at all to tell me she was doing it and I just think it's another act of being controlling. I feel like my one gift that I got had been out shone . Oh and she got him a card too which I thought was odd saying happy fathers day. Am I just being over sensitive? Happy to hear if so x

What do I do

My and my partner recently found out I’m pregnant after we’ve been trying for 2 years but I’m being put in a difficult position as my family don’t seem to think my partner is good enough for me. They pick faults with him and constantly point out he isn’t working atm. He has been working on and off during our relationship but he became my carer as I have a brain disorder but he never asks me for money or spends his money on himself but my family thinks he should give all his money to me. I have spoken to my partner about this and he is actively looking for jobs and just wants to prove them wrong but it really upsets me and Iv spoken to them about this but it always seems to come back around. What do I do?

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 as i said hes a bully.
Pleaee someone confirm this is unreasonable.

I gave him Father’s Day and instead of enjoying the day with his kids, he spent it sending angry messages to me

Yes this is a venting post. Today was supposed to be my day with our kids. But because it was Father’s Day, I told their father to spend the day with them. Instead of a thank you or just simply enjoying the day with them, he gets mad at our 3 month old for being too “difficult” for him and “causing” him to cancel the fishing trip he had planned for our eldest (7). Then proceeded to send angry text messages to me about canceling said fishing trip. He then demanded a do over tomorrow. Fine whatever. And I told him that’s fine because that is your actual assigned day. But you still have to take the baby because that’s part of the parenting agreement. Which made him even more angry. He then said he’s getting his girlfriend to babysit. I told him if he trust her that much with our baby then OK. And apparently that made him more mad because now he’s saying, I am a neglectful mother for allowing his girlfriend to babysit. The whole conversation resulted in him canceling tomorrow completely. Am I wrong for making him take the baby when it is his day to have both kids? When I have the kids, it’s up to me to have childcare sorted out. Why should this be any different?
