I had a situation at the park and I’m not sure if I’m overreacting
There was a 5 yr girl that migrated to me and my 1.5 yr old. we were playing in a pile of leafs. She had a camera around her and really tiny outfit that most adults wouldn’t wear. No judgement just hard not to notice. The girl sorta circled us then came and sat in the puddle of leafs we were in outside of park a bit of a distance but in eye sight of her mom.
After sitting with us for a short period of time playing with leafs, when we started walking away from park she stared taking pictures. Very close to his face. Maybe 5 to ten. Then a picture of his eyes and lips she said it out loud taking it. “Eyes and lips”
The Mom was foreign She was on her phone the whole time! Didn’t look up once for 20 mins she was with a 2 yr old on swings
they were leaving and I asked her what the time was stuttered and
appeared nervous now that I think back to it.
And i didn’t see if the left when they got in there car. so they could have easily followed me to see where I live.

Am I tripping or is that weird?
I thought this little girl is just being creative with camera then I started to think about it more and more and am becoming more and more bothered.

Can we just "make time"?

Here's our situation. I'm on maternity leave, with a baby, and a toddler (who goes to nursery part time). I'm managing to work out 4-5 times a week, from 6 to 7am (often baby wakes up sometime in that window so I'll put him down with some toys for a little while).
My partner works lots of weekends in preparation for a month-long trip he'll do by himself. In addition to this, sometimes he comes home late in the evening because he's also doing an online training course which he does at his office after work.
This morning he told me that I should do a training course too. I said "When?!".
And he said that "It's all about willpower" and "It's just like my workout, I didn't have the time so I made up that time". Which I find irritating...but does he have a point?
Has anyone been able to finish online training while on mat leave?
Or is that ridiculous because he's literally away all the time?!
(I'm not looking for validation by the way, it struck me as ridiculous but happy to be proven wrong!)

Leaving baby to cry

My baby is nearly 3 months old and my partner is having a go at me because I always comfort my baby when he is crying and dont like to leave him to cry it out at this young age? Am I wrong for this or right?

Am I in the wrong?

We only let my parents watch our 1 year old. Today, while my husband was at work, I went to my mom's house and took a shower while my parents took my baby to the grocery shop. For the last few weeks, I've been struggling with my mental health, and my hygiene hasn't been great because of that. My husband kicked off and said that I'm disrespecting our relationship and boundaries and that he'll be staying in a hotel until I leave the apartment.

We've had issues like this before, but im tired of him not understanding that I just need a minute sometimes

Am I being inconsiderate?

Nursery drop offs

My 1 year old has been going to nursery for nearly 4 weeks and the drop off’s are getting worse not better. He screams, crys and clings onto me so neither myself or a nursery worker can hand him over. As soon as we walk up to the door he realises and cries before I’ve even rung the bell for someone to come out. I’ve never seen him so distressed until now😭 His anxiety is so bad he now cries through his baby groups he’s been happily going too for. Once he is in he is settled but the drops off are awful for the both of us. months. I know it’ll take time but surely there’d be even a slight improvement by a month? I don’t know what to do if this continues as it feels so wrong leaving him in such a bad state

What y’all think.. Is he ungrateful or Am I not understanding ??

Ladies have yall had to deal with things from your significant other that you had no part of. Well let me tell yall what I’ve been going through.
When my dude gets very upset he start breaking shit. I’ve told him numerous of times that he needs to see someone about his anger issues cause it’s really a damn problem then after the shit broken he wants to have an attitude that the shit broken, like it’s my fault. Mine yall he has broken 6 phones and all being very expensive (3 Samsung notes and 3 iPhones), 2 65 in. TVs, a brand new computer desk and the gaming desk. This all since we’ve been together and out of everything this year he recently broke two iphones both his, the gaming chair and table ( which I brought for his bday last year $1200), & tv (Samsung $800)… then my dumb ass turned around and bought it again after he broke it along with steering wheel ($300). He brought his own tv. So mine yall I didn’t buy him another phone since he wanna keep breaking shit. So he been without a phone for a few months and we talked whenever he was around WiFi from our daughter play phone. He was mad about him not being able to contact me and everybody have iPads and tablets and him not having one. So me being me, I ordered him a nice Samsung A9 tablet but he was so ungrateful because Amazon sent the wrong case and wanted what he wanted. Then tried to break it cause the case he wanted was on back order. Then got pissed cause he still don’t have a phone. I’m like well I shouldn’t have gotten the tablet if you gone be like this. Went to metro to see if we can find a new phone cause the places that fixed phones said that his phone can be fix but he gone always have issues with it and it best to get a new one. While there got him a tablet case and no phone due to the one he wanted wasn’t in stock waiting on shipment to come. Went home to see if I can order him one thru Tmobile on my account he didn’t want that. Eventually he found what he wanted at Verizon but still had an attitude cause he had to wait til Monday that just left and it was ordered last week Thursday. He tells me I’m idc if he has things and blah blah blah I’m so over this. Am I not being understanding and accommodating or his being very selfish and ungrateful? I told him moving forward I won’t be doing shit else he’s worse than the children breaking shit then getting mad. I won’t be replacing anything else cause everything I buy he continuously destroys with no remorse so fuck going out my way to please and do for him. I replace more shit with him than the kids. I still have gotten my son a new complete setup but did his twice. Nope not no more. I’m focusing on rebuilding for my kids and fuck trying to make sure he’s good.
