Heatwave

Would you send your child to nursery during this heatwave?

My daughter goes to a private nursery so it doesn’t matter if she goes or not but I don’t know if to send her into nursery of Thursday. Where we live it’s supposed to be 34°C and I have a bad feeling about sending her to nursery on Thursday.

What would you do?

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?

Baby in bedroom during intimate time

Hello, I really don't want this to be controversial. I understand that we can never know what goes on in a little humans brain or what they will remember.

That being said, I have a 16 month old. And we are trying for another baby. We live with my elderly mom but our bedrooms are on the opposite side of the house. To avoid her hearing us or knowing what's going on we shut the door. My baby has separation anxiety so she would cry the whole time if we locked her out or put her in her playpen. Telling my mom or asking her to watch my baby would be more awkward for us than having her in the room, and we cant exactly afford a hotel or a sitter so she is in there with us. We play a baby video for her and give her lots of toys to play with and she does. She ignores us. I wish I had a better solution.

Am I the problem

My husband has been in bed all day. He is acting like he can’t moves. This is his third day off so it’s not like he hasn’t had time to rest. He slept all day Friday most of the day yesterday and then just won’t get out of bed today. He just wants to sit on his phone. I get he works nights and is tired I also get that it is Father’s Day. But like you want to ignore your child all Father’s Day?!? She’s just a year and a half he complains that he never gets to spend time with us because he’s at work all the time so then why shut us out? It’s weird

Egg strike ?

Okay, so I am in trouble lol
Eggs are such a staple here, it was such an important breakfast item (omelettes, quiche, scrambled, frittata, etc) and even when you need a quick fix for dinner. My daughter used to love eggs and would not have enough.

A couple days ago, she just showed me that she doesn’t want to have anything to do with eggs, like it’s illegal now 😭😩🤣 (she is 15mo turning 16 soon)

Helppppp, what am I supposed to cook for breakfast now ? Any ideas ?

Also, did this happen to your baby too? Did it pass ?

Unsure about pregnancy

Found out at just over 3 weeks I was pregnant with our 2nd and am now 5. Spent the last of these few weeks questioning if I really want to go ahead with it. I’ve got none of the excitement and happiness I experienced with our 1st. And even though this is a planned pregnancy I’m questioning everything about it working out, finances etc. bought a 3 bed house this year and I’m not overly happy with it as it’s too small and I can’t imagine there being 4 of us in it. I love the little life we have and everything mostly runs smoothly. My 1yr old is like my little best friend and I’d feel so guilty for him and I worry how the impact would be on him. I’ve got no one I can talk too as I’m scared to tell my mum as despite having 3 of her own she keeps trying to put me off having another yet so I don’t think I’d get the right support from her. My husband is excited and said he’d be gutted if we didn’t but supports me no matter what. I’m definitely not done at 1 and I want my lo to have a sibling. I’m so torn and confused 😫

Husband made a tinder account

So I found out my husband made a tinder account and was messaging women that he wanted to fuck them.
My response was I told him to leave he didn’t leave instead he broke down and said he’s got so much going on in his head and too much pressure one of his parents nearly died, I haven’t been giving him attention and I’ve been cold ( his words)
I’ve caught him in the past talking to other women so this has now happened 3 times over 10yrs

So I ask him to do anything around the house he says yes never does it. I’m the main care giver to twins and a toddler
Everyday he finishes work and sometimes helps feed the kids and put them to bed but hardly sits with me to have dinner just goes and plays his games console. I ask him to sit with me and he says he wants to unwind so I sit downstairs alone watching my shows and he plays his games.
I also work 5 days a week and do pick up and drop offs our kids go to different schools so he does one drop of I do the other.

He said he hasn’t cheated and just wanted the attention. I replied I would love attention aswell but you don’t ever see me talking to another man to make myself feel good. I find this as an act of cheating and I really don’t deserve this only thing stopping me from leaving him is my children and I’ve been with him for 12 yrs and still do love him.

He said he will get councilling for himself which I suggested then couples.

He keeps saying I need to take accountability aswell so I feel like he’s blaming me for what he’s done.

I’m just disgusted he could speak to another women that way and I feel so disappointed and disrespected.

I need some advise as I’m at a crossroad
