Baby is calmer with my husband 😩

My 6 week old baby is calmer with my husband and I’m not ok 😩. She’s always crying and super fussy with me unless she’s eating or going to sleep, but my husband calms her down super fast when she’s fussy and she’s just overall calmer with him. Am I doing something wrong? It’s making me super sad ☹️

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

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? 😂

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..

Husband travels, I stay at home.

My husband travels for work. We have a 3 month old little boy. He’s been away for a month, and this week he was home and now he’s back on the road for a month. I have this like raging angry depression everytime he leaves. My body and mind are so exhausted. I just wanted to post because I need some friends. I’m from Missouri, idk if anyone else is, but if you are let’s be friends! Trying to save for a new vehicle and a down payment on a house as well. 🤸‍♂️just hate the processs.

Am I overreacting ?

I'm a little over 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.

Potty training (1year old)

My son turned 1, two weeks ago and I was thinking if I can potty train him by November, since he will start the daycare in November.

Is it possible? Did anyone of you already potty train a baby before 1.5 year old ?

Do you guys have any suggestions on things that might help?
