Absolutely miserable

Been with my husband for 12yrs
(married for 4yrs)

We have a 2yr old and a 9wk old, and im literally so fed up and tired waiting for thing to get better since having our 2nd baby.

He cries majority of the day and ive done all the nights on my own as ebf so have had broken sleep for over 2mnths as the week up to having baby I wasnt sleeping either, I get sleep deprivation magnifies everything

But I am so angry all the time mainly with my hubby, feel like I can't stand him atm

He works mon-fri 5am til 5:30pm. Ive been trying to explain how tired I am etc and he just throws back at me how hes tired too, I tried to explain again the above and he responded with if I did 5hrs driving a day and some days no breaks id be tired too hinting hes more tired or just as tired as I am... I said difference being I would get another job as hes right I wouldnt do it.

He just annoys me so much i said he doesn't get it and needs to learn to understand because all its doing is missing me off, he walked away from me into the garden.

I do all the nights alone whilst he sleeps through. I do 95% of newborns nappies i could count on 1 hand how many he has done.

Im wishing the time/weeks away in the hope that things get better as I get it will eventually but my gosh im so miserable right now its unreal.

We are not eating dinner separately as by time he cooks it its usually 8:30pm and I dint want to eat so late, he doesn't want me to cook, I said im gonna get ready meals as its easier for me to eat with our toddler at 5pm. He asked how long for etc and cooking for me is what he looks forward to, but I said it causes me too much stress in the eve. I just wana eat and feed baby then go to bed. We have no routine and until there is one thats the best thing for me to do, which he isnt happy about. I told him he could have ready meals too, or cook and I will have it the next day at a time I want it etc

Don't know what I want from this , I guess just somewhere to vent and be heard as clearly he isnt listening or getting it 🫩

Do you leave your kids on the floor

This issue keeps coming up with my partner
I hoover my carpets 2-4 times a day i have 2 kids (9 month old is my partners) and the 4 year old loves abit of messy play, i clean up multiple tines a day too so its safe for my baby to crawl around, i put cushions over any hard edges so its pretty safe.
I have my baby alone for 10 hrs a day mon-thur hes so clingy even our families have said how its hard holding him because he is so fat and wiggly😂
Obviously i hold him during the day but when im cleaning i put him in his walker and when im doing other bits i put him on the floor, i dont leave him unattended for more then 2 mins (i live in a bungalow)
My partner has an issue with this, he moans if i use the walker too much (20 mins a few times a day) moans that i leave him on the floor but needed my help touching the car seat ( too see if it was hot) yesterday because he was holding the baby n couldn't but im supposed to do school runs, meals, cleaning and whatever else happens in a day all while holding the baby, its making me abit resentful as im trying my hardest in a situation i didnt want to be in (staying home) and instead of even offering alternatives like ive asked ged rather bitch at what im doing 'wrong'
So do you put your kids on the floor?
Obviously im inexperienced having 2 kids but i thought that was what helped them learn to roll, crawl, sit up etc

My friend isn't poor but is really cheap and it's turning me off. Am i the AH?

I have a friend who i really like and we get along well. But she is really cheap and it bugs me. Her and her partner both have very good jobs. They make more money than me and my partner.

Yet, she is always looking on marketplace for free things, when there are people who are actually in need that could benefit from these free things. Shes always picking up shit she doesnt even need just because its free. She raaaaarely buys clothes, shoes and toys for her kids. She is always scouting the internet for free stuff for them. Everytime she does a photoshoot or has an event, she asks me to borrow nice clothes for her kids because she doesnt wanna spend money and they dont own nice clothes since she only gets them second hand stuff.

I understand saving money and not spending recklessly, but i find she exaggerates.

Gifts age guide

Would you be offended if your 5 year old received a birthday present marked 3+. I have all these unopened games at home from presents we have received. Husband says absolutely not, he is buying new ones.

They seem more at the right level developmentally. A 3 year old would require quite a bit of support.

In-law Drama…

I’m only 5+6 but my husband and I were discussing my birth and he wants his mom there. I don’t want her there because she had said to me before that she never screamed while giving birth and his sister added that ladies who scream in birth are just wanting attention and copying movie scenes. Now he said he doesn’t want my mom there if I don’t want his there…

Am I in the wrong?

Finding interests/hobbies

Ok, I've realised I'm boring AF. I have no hobbies or interests, what are we all doing to find a spark in life? My kids are beautiful but they can't be my only passion???
