FIL still can’t spell name correctly

My FIL was sitting with my 3 year old and writing out all the family members names and when I came through I noticed he’s spelled my name incorrectly. The thing is I’ve been with his son for 16 years now, they’ve been living with us for 2 years, also my name is literally 4 letters long!

At this point I’m starting to feel blatantly disrespected. Like I’ve had 2 of his grandchildren and he can’t be bothered to learn the correct spelling of my first name!

Not quite sure how to deal with it as he’s now teaching my daughter the incorrect name.

How would you feel? Comment what you would suggest I do.

I have vocalized my distaste to my husband over the matter but I’m not sure he’ll say anything.

Partner unfaithful online

My partner has been sending explicit images of himself on a couples site. He did this without my knowledge and even put my initial and a fake age for me and had it set to a couples account without my knowledge or consent. He hasn’t used my photos he claims. But he says he thinks people thought they were talking to the lady of the account.

We have two children under 3. I have had HG and PPD both times, and only just getting better now mentally/emotionally. I’ve been under perinatal mental health. He’s been closed off and says he’s found it hard to talk to me truthfully about his feelings.

He said the way I’ve been acting towards him since our 2nd baby was born made him lonely and he wanted to escape who he’s become recently. I’ve felt very alone too, but have always put my kids and him above myself.

I’ve given him plenty of opportunities to talk with me and even at times almost begged him to speak to me and tell me what’s going on in his head. I’ve also been very upfront about what I need from him - more emotional vulnerability and honesty.

What would you do?

Constantly being told by in laws my baby looks nothing like me and looks like her father, and his parents and basically everyone and their mum on my in laws side

How to stop feeling so disrespected by this. It’s been going on for 5 months now. And it’s making me so upset. I’ve told my in laws it’s mean and makes me feel upset. They don’t stop. They make jokes of it now. My husband doesn’t get why it upsets me so much.
I’m fine with her looking like him but, she literally has ALL of my features? And I feel like I have no respect as her mother and I feel like my sacrifices and all the energy I put into growing her and caring for her is invalidated because I’m constantly bombarded with being told she looks like everyone else. To the point I feel like I’m being pitied if anyone says she looks like me lol

Potty training in 3 days…

Every single person I’ve talk to about potty training has said it’s took months (and some have said a year!) before their child is going themselves to the potty/toilet.

Age of potty training don’t seem to make much difference - I’ve spoke to people who started earlier and some started later and not a single one has said they done it in 3 days.

Why are there so many people on here what say it took 3 days? I don’t understand. Am I being stupid? Do you just mean they work out to do a wee on the potty but still need reminding?

How are we all feeling?

My son is 6 weeks today and I think this week so far is the most difficult week we’ve had, although I have a feeling that may just become a weekly phrase from now on.

What’s funny is he’s had 2 really good nights of sleep this week but that may be purely because the days have been so rough. He’s struggling with spitting up after feeds at the minute, even when we keep him upright and seems to be showing hunger cues all the time and he hasn’t quite learned how to poo properly yet so we having constipation too. My washing machine has never seen so much action.

Just wondered how many weeks everyone’s at and what their experiences are? Just wanted to vent to other people in the same boat who get it. I feel like friends and family are sympathetic but they’re not living it.

Potty training help!

My little girl is 27 months and she’s been doing so well with potty training, we’ve just put a potty in the living and let her go naked on her bottom half and we’ve now had 2 days without any accidents but the issue is when we then put knickers on her we’re having loads of accidents! How can we get past this? I want to be able to leave the house without her in a nappy !

My child wants another sibling but I’m a single mom

My 3 year old today said he wants another sibling to play with and to tell them he loves them

And as a single mom it was quite sad to hear because I never thought he’d ever say it , it’s always been me and him since the day he was 3 months

His father comes and goes.

I don’t know how to feel I’m quite sad

I did tell him “we need someone good & he said let’s go shops and buy them” 😂

What has any other single mama done in this instant

He goes nursery 5 days a week and twice a week his with family as I’m working .

I even buy him the toys he wants or try to
