Teething help!!

I’m absolutely out of ideas at this point, nothing works on my sons mouth. I’ll be holding him while he sleeps and he’ll still start crying in his sleep because his mouth hurts so much. He’s been teething for so long that the orajel has basically stopped working. What can I try? I just want to be able to put him down again at night.

Easily offended partner is this normal ?

So our baby 11 months almost choked on a bit of food she found. My partner started to put his fingers down her throat . And I panicked in the moment and said that is not safe to put your fingers down her throat . It can make it worse .

He then got really upset. Telling me things like “you always criticise me, there is always negative feed back , clearly I can’t parent, so you can do it alone “

I’m just tired and don’t understand. If I did put my daughter in danger and he noticed I rather him educate me. I wouldn’t be upset .

He isn’t speaking to me now 😩

Anyone else’s partner also sensitive to negative feedback? What do you do? Do we just suck it up and won’t share anything

Am I crazy?

We have had issues with my boundaries not being respected when it comes to other women and betrayal with other women. I stayed and things have been better but it's hard. I'm not the type to tell him he can't use his eye balls and notice other pretty women but at what point can I speak up? We just had a massive fight because he's been staring at other women a lot on vacation. I haven't said anything at all but as we are at the gas station getting ready to leave I'm talking to him and he isn't listening.. I realize it's because he's staring at some girl near us. I don't say anything and go to walk away and grab what I need, he then runs over my foot with our double stroller because he thought I kept moving and he was leaning to stare at this girls ass as she walked by... He then follows me for about 15 min acting stupid and saying what's wrong over and over. I yelled at him after him asking me for the tenth time because he knew what the issue was. He then tries to tell me I'm crazy, I exaggerate everything, etc.
I don't know how much longer I can take the bs. I know everyone has different boundaries, but I have made mine clear from the beginning of our relationship. Idk what to do anymore but I'm tired of having to fight constantly to feel respected and heard. I'm drained.

Just so mentally exhausted :(

I recently tied the knot with my boyfriend of over 2 years, and at first I was really excited. But that excitement has worn off and it’s like I don’t even wanna be around him anymore.

Yesterday he called me his girlfriend, which stung because shouldn’t you acknowledge me as your wife? Then he spends almost all of his time on his computer or twitter or doing whatever. He’s usually good with our son and takes a lot of the responsibilities but I feel left out a lot.

I’m gonna be a sahm of 2 under 2 soon, and I just genuinely feel so much stress rn. I spend most of my time out in the living room because I’d rather just be by myself than spend another quiet moment in our bedroom.

He either wants to play the game or watch a movie, which he doesn’t even watch. I just don’t know if I can do this anymore with him

Hi. Help please.

Ftm. My daughter is 7m old and I’m a WFH mum. Can someone tell me how to keep her busy because I’ve got her a play pen, and in the pen I’ve kept her stuffy’s and some toys but she quickly gets bored and starts to cry.
She’s crawling and pulling herself to stand, just don’t know how to keep her engaged. Any toy reccs or anything else. Thanks

Am I just being hormonal?

Sorry it’s a long one.

So my hubby made plans with Robert (not his real name) almost 2 weeks ago for tonight 4th of July. well as we were 10 mins in to the drive, Robert texts him saying he just got to the area and there’s no parking anywhere so we can’t come. And hubby called his friend Frank (not real name) he’s at a family event but said we can come but I don’t want to go anywhere anymore. The only person I will know is Frank and I won’t have anyone to “hangout” with while hubby hangs out with his friend. I feel like this day is ruined because of Robert and the poor communication and planning. And I’m currently trying to hold back my tears because I was excited to meet Robert’s wife and children. And even got the kids something to play with that I thought would be a good gesture.
Am I overreacting or being hormonal?

Also I’m 17w+5ds.

Would this bother you or am I being too sensitive?

My husband and I are both 27. We’ve been together for 10 years, have a 3 year old son, and I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant.

For years, I’ve told him that I really appreciate little check ins when we’re apart. I don’t mean constant messaging all day, and honestly it doesn’t bother me too much if he’s just out for a few hours. It’s more when he’s away for longer periods, like all day or overnight, that I find it difficult.

Whenever he goes out/away with friends/work, I usually don’t hear from him at all from the moment he leaves until he’s back home. This has caused a lot of arguments over the years because I’ve explained so many times that a simple message saying, “how are things?” or “how’s our son?” would mean a lot to me and make me feel thought about.

He has always said he’d work on it, but nothing has really changed. More recently, he’s told me that it’s just something I need to accept because he gets caught up in the moment and struggles with what he calls object permanence. From what I understand, he means that when he’s focused on what he’s doing, people who aren’t physically there can slip from his mind.

He’s away overnight with friends tonight and I haven’t heard a peep from him since he left this morning.

What makes me question myself is that whenever I’m with friends and they get messages from their partners throughout the day, I’m genuinely shocked and, if I’m honest, a little envious. Again, not because I want constant communication, but because it seems so natural for them to check in and let each other know they’re thinking of one another.

I want him to enjoy himself and have a good time with his friends, but I also want to feel like me and our family cross his mind while he’s away.

Am I overreacting for feeling upset about this?
