Visitors around newborn

So I've seen a few of my best friends because I feel so comfortable and can be open and honest in how I am feeling around them but didn't see me aunts/nan until 8 weeks postpartum, they all live over an hour away and knew they would be round for most of the day & baby being passed around which I hate. Been called selfish and saying I'm pushing them out.
I love them all but I'm not that close with them, we didn't say how long we would wait for visitors because we were just seeing how we got on. My best friend came round for 2 hours of an evening not like the whole day at the weekend.

Is it that serious?

So my husband woke me up for sex this morning. I was soo tired, and not in the mood. He got mad and said this is the kind of shit that will make him find sex somewhere else. Mind you it’s not like we have gone a week without sex. It’s been 1 day! We had company over last night, were drinking and slept late. So this morning I was trying to sleep in coz I’m off today. I also don’t like being woken up for sex, and he knows that. He just expects me to be ready to go when he is and that’s not how I function. That statement pissed me off!! I told him he’s free to go find it somewhere else. Is it really that serious??!! 🤦🏾‍♀️

Natural or lab diamond?

If you had the “opportunity” to pick out another ring, what would you choose?

My wedding ring/band was lost by the jeweler (they had to send it somewhere for repair and the parcel company lost it) and I have to pick out another ring to replace it.

I originally had 1 ct natural diamond (got married before 2016 when lab diamonds started being created) and was offered to replace with a lab diamond and get money back if we wanted, or replace with a naturally mined diamond.

I didn’t think I’d be “ring shopping” after being married this long and I don’t really have the desire to put as much thought into it this go around 😂 however with this new choice of lab diamonds I have things to consider 🤔

I know lab diamonds are virtually the “same” but also they apparently lose a massive amount of value compared to natural. Not that I really consider it to be an “investment piece” but it also doesn’t seem fair? 🤷‍♀️ But also are natural diamonds less sustainably/ethically mined? I’ve heard yes AND no.

What does this mean ?

Me and my partner have been arguing and he said this but I don’t know what it means ?

Side hustle?

Anybody know of any good side hustles for a SAHM? I see a lot of moms doing treats and sourdough but I feel like that market has already been saturated. Same thing with cricut stuff

Cut off from the world?

Hi can anyone relate to virtually being cut off from the world because you are so busy and tired as a mother? I have a 2 and a 3 year old, due with my third baby in 3 weeks and I see other people posting things in social media but I can't be bothered reading or looking at any of this. My emails can often go unread, even important ones like notices etc. When I receive letters in the mailbox I often procrastinate opening them because I feel like I won't be able to focus on the content so I search for a time when I feel like I am ready to take in so much information, potentially about bills or letters from health visitors. Health visitors calling me to arrange appointments at my home to see how I am doing are one of the most dreadful things for me because I just can't be bothered having a stranger at my home taking my time and leaving without giving any help. Other people go on protests, position themselves politically, follow the news but I swear there could be the 3rd world war breaking out and I would just find it hard to care about the politics because I still have to chase dirty nappies, nap times and I would still feel tired and overstimulated with my family life alone.
As a child and teenager I used to always be super spiritual , always thinking about the higher concepts, I was very religious and prayed all day. I even started writing a book at 16 about some of my insights on things. I was about to start studying psychology and criminology but very soon I married and instantly got children and it feels like the whole side of my higher self was shut down and I completely lost touch with it because I have to rush from one snack time to the other, from one bath time to another etc so spirituality feels out of place and reach. A few years ago if I read in the news about women in Afghanistan being treated worse than animals I would feel so much heat and passion and would feel like I need to do something but nowadays I genuinely don't have the energy to even care about this, like I am not capable of empathy anymore. All people around me and worldwide talk about the wars happening and I am so out of touch with all of this. Is this a normal thing, other moms experience this too?
