Venting!

Sooo it’s just so annoying that my husband can talk to his guy friends/bros no problem all day but when it comes to me he can’t seem to hold long convos and always so defensive when it comes to me. It’s so aggravating … Anyone else feel this way ?

in our community

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

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.

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.

I just need to vent.

Im scared of my nonverbal autistic son. He has been having behavioral issues for awhile. He's hit me, grabbed my head and headbutted me a few occasions. Hes much bigger and stronger than me at 11 years old. This has been addressed with the appropriate therapists. However his therapists and school teachers have brought up their concerns multiple times in regards to when he hits puberty and his aggressive behavior increases. Theyre worried for my safety and ive been asked to look into seeing about part time group homes in case it gets to a point where I can no longer care for him on my own. Im just devastated. The entirety of his childhood ive had to grapple with the knowing that our lives will never be normal, ill never do the normal things that other moms get to do with their sons. But something kept me going.. and that something I was holding on to was that my baby boy will live with me forever. That was what got me through these dark days. Now I don't have that. Im lost on how to cope. My biggest comfort was knowing I have so much time. Now I have even less time than parents of nuerotypical kids. My heart hurts. And this time I'm not sure if it will ever stop.

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

Soo fed up

I swear ive got the most miserable baby ever all he does is scream, feed or sleep, its awful.
(Hes my 2nd baby)

My 1st was demanding but this is another level.

He literally screams all the time if I walk away from him for wee, to do anything, he wants you 1 on 1 all the time and it just isnt possible having a 2yr old aswell.

The occasions he isnt screaming are so few I rekon I could count on 1 hand, could even be no more than 3 occasions ive felt hes not been a misery.

I just would like some reassurance that there's people out there in the same boat and that this is going to pass?

Hes 10 weeks old but it doesn't seem to be improving at all, im starting to question if maybe he has an allergy or something im ebf but I cant think of any other reason why hes so angry all the time 😭
