Teething and off feeds in this heatwave 🥵

My 6 month old is teething, his bottom front teeth are popping through and he’s been off his milk for the last few days.

I’ve managed to get him to feed fully after ibuprofen and here and there some very short feeds, the sucking seems to hurt him after a minute. It says not to take ibuprofen more than 3 days. It’s stressing me out because of the heatwave.

He’s not dehydrated, but I worry as it won’t take much to get there in this heat.

Exclusively breastfed, he won’t take a bottle.

Anyone else had this?

Am I being sensitive or would this also upset you?

I asked my husband if he liked my handmade bracelets and he said "They're okay." I asked what that means and he said "If I saw them I'd just think 'Oh, neat' then move on." Am I being too sensitive for being really upset over that? I just feel like, where is the support? I thought we were supposed to be our spouse's first fan, cheering on their passions? For more context I'm an artist, my bracelets are made of recycled materials that I collect and process myself and are woven in a pattern unique to my work, not that it would make it any better but this is not a hobby for me it's my life work and a small part of a bigger project. Since I work from my home I also care for our children while my husband goes to a 9-5 job and that also has me feeling a type of way about his feedback, I cheer him on at his job and support him where I can but when it comes to my work that's what I get? It's obviously a soft spot for me, but let me know if I'm just sensitive here or if it's actually something you'd be upset by too.

How do I get time to keep ontop of everything

Not enjoying it....

Is anyone else still not enjoying this?

Our baby is 9weeks and its nit getting easier.... ive had the worse night.

Just so fed up now, all he does is moan and cry majority of the day. I only have my parents for help, which they do help alot.

But I am really angry all the time arguing with my husband or moaning at him every day, multiple times a day

Im just so unhappy. Everyone keeps saying its gonna get better, when?!

I already have a 2yr old and when hes not at nursery and I have them both it is absolute chaos. Between the pair of them they set each other off with screaming.

I just want it to get better

Is a wife responsible for her husband's weight gain?

If your husband is eating a bunch of unhealthy food late night then complains about his weight gain and you try having a conversation about his late night eating letting him know he should stop eating at least at 10pm (he has a late shift) but he keeps doing it are you still responsible because he's your husband? I'm currently losing weight I stopped eating after 7pm and i stay in a calorie deficit and I drink 1 gallon of water per day and it made a big difference. We also work out together but he doesn't show up to all the workouts but I still stick to it. I feel bad for him 🫤 idk what to do

Why does divorce come to my mind..

Here’s a little breakdown of my life.

3 years with my partner.
1.5 years married
I’m 9 months pregnant
He has a disability that affects his whole body. - stress gives him flareups and can even make him bed ridden.
1.5 years into us dating his health hit him so hard he was bed ridden for 3/4 of a year which only brought out his anger more because of the amount of pain.

He’s been used to watching porn to cope since 7 years before meeting me because of a fucked up upbringing.

He gets mad very easily, cusses me out, snaps. Makes me feel like total fucking shit. Sorry for my language.

I never wanted to have a family that would split. I always wanted my kids to have a stable family, with a loving husband and father.

I can be going into labour any minute and each day our relationship just gets worse.

Is this how pregnant hormones fuck you up mentally? Make you argue. Make you wanna snap and just wanna give everything up?

At times I wish I was never pregnant. And I feel like slapping myself every time I think like that because I love my little one that i still haven’t met yet…

Can someone give me a bit of clarity please..

Will you allow your kid to work while going to school?
