Anyone else experienced this?

Me and my partner got together when my son was 4 and he’s now 9, my son in my eyes is a typical average boy, won’t speak to us when he’s tired, coming across moody and is always slightly off when he comes back from his dad. But he’s like it with both me and my partner, however my partner gets shitty over it but with me, like today my son came back from his dad before school and wasn’t very talkative or said bye when my partner went to work and when he walked out the door he scarcely said “bye, have a good day” and said he doesn’t know why he wastes his breath.
I’m close to breaking point, either to cry or scream. I don’t take offence to how my son is, he’s always been off coming back from his dad and he’s been going over every Tuesday since 9 month old so I guess I’m use to it, I just don’t know what to do

Partner not come home on our anniversary what should I do ?

It was mine and my partners 3 year anniversary yesterday and he’s not returned home after work , he was only meant to be doing two small jobs I last spoke to him at 2pm and he said he’d be back soon . I missed his call at 7pm
And I’ve heard nothing since and his phone is off .

I’m currently awake as I can’t sleep with worry , I’m wondering if I should contact the friend he was working with on social media ( I’ve only met him briefly a few times ) or would this look weird and crazy ?

I don’t know where his last job was so un sure if I should call hospitals or police stations ?

He has never done his before and especially to not come home on our anniversary?

Are you sending your kids to school this heatwave?

I have been debating whether to keep my daughter home. It could just be my own anxiety and her dad thinks I am overreacting but in this extreme weather I want to have my daughter age 8 home. Am I being unreasonable?

Am I in the wrong?

So I’m very possessive when it comes to my son who is 19 months old. I mostly stay at my mums during the day and then come home for the night as I live 2 doors away from my mum.

My sister comes over at times but she does live around 15-20 mins away 2 doorss away from my mum lives my relatives they even know my son and me be at my mums most of the times. Anyways long story short they called my niece to go play at their garden with their 2 nephews but didn’t ask my son to am I wrong to get angry over that. Without thinking I had a go at them saying why they singled my son out but I think I did too much …

Dirt

Do you let your toddler/ kids play in dirt? Like at the park or in your yard? I took my kids to the park like I do every day 😥 and my 3 year old wanted to dig in the dirt. He found a tree with a bunch of sticks underneath and went at it. I let him. He got very dirty. But he was so happy!

Women & Men’s bathroom (girl mom’s)

Girl moms, I need your advice!
With the recent viral video of a dad taking his girls to a women’s bathroom as a gas station, a conversation was brought up with my husband… one time my FIL took my daughter in to the men’s bathroom because he didn’t want to use the women’s bathroom. I was really upset and my husband said he would’ve done the same or asked a women to take out daughter in the women’s bathroom. I told him most women would be okay with a dad taking his little girl to the bathroom if he just announced himself before going in to ask if it was okay. I told him most of the women’s bathroom are designed a family space. I also told him to never ask a stranger women to take our daughter to the bathroom because there are even women predators… he thinks I’m wrong.

Would you be mad 🤬

My boy is 1 next week and I was wanting to take him for his first hair cut this weekend with his dad.
Mil looked after him yesterday while we were at work and she has cut his hair herself!!!
I was not asked if this would be ok, nor was I told it had been done afterwards.
I think she thought I wouldn’t notice.
There are a lot of trust issues with her not telling me what he eats / drinks while he’s in her care and it just feels like she’s constantly trying to spite me!

I think his mum and dad should have been there for his first ever hair cut and she has taken that from us.
