Anyone else a wife to a golfer and would you be upset by this as well?

Most times, I don't mind it, but sometimes I hate that the man golfs. We have two young kids, and he golfs every single weekend, and yet he thinks he never gets any time to himself..... I guess that 5-8 hours is nothing??? This week, he is going twice, and I asked if he could just not go this particular weekend due to a medical procedure I have later this week and will need help with the kids. He moved it to Sunday instead of Saturday and thats it... so if I still need help sunday I guess I'm asking my parents. Wtf.

Birthday….

Would you be annoyed or am I being dramatic…

It’s my birthday today , 33!

Woke up this morning, no cards, presents or anything off my husband.

Kids come down stairs and go ‘ where’s the presents off dad ‘ I said ‘ I don’t know you’ll have to ask dad ‘

Anyways, nothings said, make lunches as usual and sort the kids

Gets to 8.15 am and he leaves for work and then goes ‘ oh btw happy birthday your cards should come today but you didn’t tell me what you wanted so I didn’t get you anything ‘

He’s then messaged with a screen shot with a load of computer stuff getting delivered today for his ‘ man cave’ and asking if I’ll be in.

Bare in mind this man had £30 left last night, asked him how he’s got the stuff for his PC ( I was meant to be buying most of it for his 30th next month) and he said he’s using his mates klarna and clearpay.

I’m not mad, just feel disappoint at zero effort has been made 😔

Seriously struggling

Currently crying in my car with my toddler in the back. He's not stopped crying, whinging, whining and tantrumming all morning. I am just overwhelmed...ive offered as many snacks as I can think of...set up activities so I can make breakfast but that wasn't good enough either. My ears are ringing and I just cant take anymore. Im a terrible mother. He's almost 2 and is in a phase where hes Just miserable about everything and we cant even go to playdates or groups anymore because he jusy cries and clings to me. Im trapped and alone.
Is this normal? I don't think it is

Nursery/ Child care

When did you start sending your baby to nursery?

Eating toothbrush bristles

My 11 month old only lets me briefly brush his teeth if he can then hold on to brush and bite off the bristles. I try to get them out of his mouth at the same time but he must have swallowed so many, which is terrible! Anyone had the same issue and what did you do? If I take it away from him is a guaranteed meltdown. Are toothbrushes without bristles any good?

Maternity pay and bills

How are we all coping with the maternity pay and paying bills? Does your partner help and support you with them or do you find yourself struggling with paying them.
My partner still expects me to pay exactly half with everything which I’m finding hard. I appreciate that it’s inconvenient for him to pay for everything and unfair and I don’t mind paying half but sometimes it’s hard having nothing left really to myself. I have spoke to him about this but he seems to bat it off. It’s not like I’m saying I don’t want to pay but just not exactly half.

How is everyone managing this?

Dad walking into my home after knocking and no answer, would you be ok with that?

Would you be annoyed if your parents just let themselves into your house?

My dad has done this twice this week once a few days ago when me and my boy was in the bath (luckily the bathroom door was closed) and again today when we was in the bedroom and I was feeding my boy.

He knocked but obviously no answer but he knew I would be in, I do tend to forget to lock my door but still doesn’t give the right to let himself in. He never gives me the heads up he’s popping over either.

We are close but I just still find it rude. I would never do that but maybe that’s just me..

But would you be annoyed or wouldn’t you be bothered?
