pulling nappies off

my lo is constantly taking his nappies off, even with pants on he likes to take them off and pull his nappy off, nappies are tight enough etc just starting to get annoying as he took it off and had a wee on the carpet straight away, he’s not 2 just yet so don’t wanna start potty training yet

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

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?

Relate?

I love being a stay at home momma. And I’m so grateful but sometimes I feel like I need a break. Not even a long one. Maybe 30 minutes. But I feel so guilty asking for one. When I know my boyfriend works all day. And he wants to decompress from work and relax.

Am I right to feel disrespected?

We dont give our 3 year old refind sugar, have always had a strong stance on it that our family are well aware of. Our Daughter went to a show yesterday with her grandparents. On the way home my MIL rang my husband, who was at work at the time and let him know that she gave our daughter a small share of her ice cream because she was crying for it (apparently)
My daughter has since told me she actually had her own ice cream cone and ate the whole thing and wasn't asked to share at all

I feel as though the grandparents over stepped, they should have respected our rules as parents, my husband thinks its fine because "they told us" - I think they lied about the real situation and it also bothers me they went through my husband rather than having a conversation with me.
We already have a rocky relationship with them due to over stepped boundaries in the past.
Thoughts?

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🙏

Am I tripping?

So we all know it’s the 4th of July. It’s my son’s first fourth. My baby dad is in New York. Granted it’s also his birthday but am I tripping for thinking he should wanna spend it with his son? Like doesn’t matter where but it feels like it wasn’t a thought in his mind to spend hot with our son. He hasn’t helped at all except for buying a few clothes but that was months ago, that was around Christmas time, my son is 9 months now. I’ve asked my bd for money for some wipes and to split the cost of a new car seat as my son grew out of his newborn one and was no longer safe in it. I guess he didn’t have the money cuz I didn’t get anything but he has the money for New York. Ugh, tell me, am I tripping for thinking he coulda spend today or even just part of it with our son?
