My partner works away most weeks all week.

We have two toddlers and my 3 year old has autism and is hardly sleeping. I am also pregnant.

He works 9-5 away and has every evening to himself goes for dinner with work friends etc.

He’s alway saying I do nothing and I’m useless and lazy. I do everything for my children even spend most nights awake. Take my boys to pre school and sort all his health care appointments.

He’s come in today saying the house is a mess even though it’s just a pile of washing and the other mess is all his work paperwork and clothes he dumps. I always used to sort it all out time and time again but he gets the hump and messes everything up.

He never spends anytime with the children one on one maybe driving the around but never anything in the house alone .

I was starting to clean the kitchen tonight after I made everyone dinner and he was like our LB needs a shower due to having his hair cut and I said why don’t you do it then and he starting kicking off saying I’m lazy he’s been at work all day. It’s the first time I think he’s ever showered them both.

Then he stormed off with them in the car.

I’m so heartbroken, this happens all the time.

I just feel so useless like I’m doing nothing which he also tells everyone.

He’s constantly walking out and blocking me after he’s caused an argument.

I haven’t had a day off in three years and I don’t know what to do
He’s just said I don’t get off my fat lazy arse while, is this normal? I’m pregnant with his third child

When you become a mother it’s a job for a lifetime, some men who have no principle or moral values would think that it’s just consecutive normal/ordinary days at home “she’s a woman, that’s what she’s suppose to do”. Real men who are emotionally aware of their partner’s needs will act accordingly. Being a women is heavy all by itself. We are wired to carry every emotion, but only so much that we can take…. We are diamonds but still with imperfections.
I’m also writing this with a heavy heart, overwhelmed and lonely

Short proverb ( the cow has its tail but doesn’t know the use of it until fly takes it)
He doesn’t know your true value until maybe one day you leave.

So sorry for the burden❤️🥹🥹

Pros and cons of having a childminder versus nursery

Hi, my baby will be looked after by an ofsted registered childminder as there were no nursery places available near me. I’m wondering about putting baby down for a waiting list for a nursery in the future but childminder seems a bit cheaper too and only has 4 children at a time (including her own toddler). What things helped make people’s decisions over childcare placements? Thank you xx

Me being unreasonable?

Am I the bad one for not jumping over the moon when in laws are coming to visit? Can't I just be ok/tolerate it?
I feel like my husband is putting so much pressure on me and blames me for being in the middle of awkward situations when they're here that indeed when they come to visit I'm not overly excited. But it's like he can't deal with them as his parents and I'm supposed to be the bad one..

Potty training mums - are you all using a travel potty when out & about? 👀

What are you doing when your toddlers need the loo & you're out & about?

I dislike the idea of carrying around wee & poo 😬 but is that my only option? 😂

Advice/toy recommendations?

Please don’t judge🙏 - I’m desperately seeking some advice or toy recommendations for my 6.5 month old Velcro baby. She simply won’t play on her own or give me a simple second to myself and I’m honestly going completely mad. I barely get a second to myself to brush my teeth and go to the loo without her whining and crying. I am utterly, utterly desperate and feel completely burnt out but I have no other choice but to keep going as I don’t have any support at all (no family, I feel desperately alone) and husband is hands-off. I’d really appreciate any advice on how I can get through this. Thank you🙏

YouTube kids

Anyone else just fed up with YouTube kids. I have blocked so many channels that are just filled with brain rot and ai generating shit but it feels like these accounts are like a Hydra! You block one and three more just pop up. It feels never ending!! I have set the setting to the youngest option and these stupid videos still show up. I have banned YouTube kids all together now but there is some good educational stuff on there that my son enjoys. This is just a little rant more than anything 😅 just needed to moan a little bit😂
