Am I overreacting ?

I'm a week postpartum.

Husband hasn't really been helping much unless I nag, and then he complains about helping while helping. I stopped asking for help, it's just less trouble to do it myself even if I'm burnt out.

He also gets irritated anytime I bring up how I'm feeling, or he'll flip it and be like "well I feel like that too!". But like, if he feels like that he should really just say it another time and not when I'm having a breakdown. So I also stopped expressing how I feel.

Well the final straw for me is that he keeps bringing up his ex and his son that they had together. One of the things he said that stuck with me, was that nothing compares to the feeling he had when he had his son with his ex. He said that that feeling can't be replaced, not that I want to replace his son with our son, but it still hurt to hear.

I'm starting to feel like he doesn't want to be with me, and he would rather be with his ex.

I don't know he seems miserable with me, and he's making me miserable too.

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😂

Nappy for an hour

Hi I'm day 3 of potty training and my little boy has rugby for half an hour today. Do you think it's a set back if I put a nappy on him for an hour so he doesn't need to change during his class.

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..

Asking for advice

My little boy turned 1 on Thursday 🥹 we had 3 days of celebrations and today we are just staying home so will be trialing his new routine.
I just wanted to ask for any advice really if this new routine looks ok, he’s not a massive eater so it does worry me that he won’t be eating enough food and now we will be massively cutting his milk intake it worries me he just won’t be getting enough food or milk.

7am wake up and 240ml bottle
(Mixing formula and cows milk until fully onto cows milk)

10am breakfast
This will be something like Weetabix and fruit or overnight oats and fruit or toast and fruit and water
No bottle

2pm dinner
Something savoury so like pasta, meat, vegetables, with water
No bottle

6pm bedtime bottle
300ml (mixing formula and cows milk until fully on cows milk)

Usually he would have a bottle at 10am and a bottle at 2pm but I’m hoping to drop those 2 bottles so that he just has a wake up bottle and a bed time bottle and I’m hoping he will eat enough at 10am and 2pm.

Never realised how overwhelming feeding babies was going to be 😩

Struggling with potty training 😩

Please telling me all your tips and tricks she’s 2.5 and terrified of the toilet 🤦🏽‍♀️😩 won’t tell me if she needs to wee I ask constantly (probably annoying her tbf) I’ve been trying on and off for a few months but this time I’ve been determined but a week in and we still haven’t had a wee on the potty or toilet 😭 hard seeing others say how easy they found it probably the hardest thing I’ve found.
