Venting

Iknow I’m going to get judged for this but I need to vent I’m pretty sure my 4y is autistic and honestly he makes me regret having kids he is so difficult to deal with can’t really take him anywhere bc he just wants to elope or wine or have a stupid binky it’s so embarrassing but I’m obsessed with my 1 year old he is pretty easy all boy and want to be ruff but not everything is a battle like with the older one

Honestly, yes, you’re probably going to be judged because of the way you described your son. I have a 4 year old who is pretty easygoing and an almost 2 year old with Level 3 autism. I understand how hard it can be. My son elopes, outings can be exhausting, and some days feel impossible.
But I could never say I regret having him. He’s not trying to make my life harder. He experiences the world differently, and it’s my job as his mom to learn how to support him.
Autism is hard, but there are so many resources available. Progress takes time, patience, and consistency, and it’s not easy. As parents, we’re the ones who have to put in that work. Your son needs understanding and support, not to be called embarrassing or made to feel like he’s the reason you regret becoming a parent.
I genuinely hope you find the support you need because it sounds like you’re overwhelmed. But for your son’s sake, please do better.

Confronting a woman who parked in mum and baby parking ? And now I feel anxious and don’t know how to feel about it

Feeling anxious after incident at supermarket. I have a 6 month baby and 2.5 year old toddler. I parked in mum and baby and was getting both kids out when a middle aged woman parked next to me in a mum and baby space with no children. It angered me but I didn’t say anything. The carpark was empty so she could have parked anywhere. Anyway when I got back in the car with kids and shopping she came out at the same time and left her trolley in front of her car instead of taking it back. I felt so much anger build up. So I told her to take it back and not leave it for someone else. She asked if I have an issue to which I said yes, and she was lazy. 1 she has left the trolley for someone else to clear away and 2 she has parked in mum and baby without having children. At this point she told me to fuck off. So I told her to fuck off and called her a lazy bitch.. then drove off. I am not usually confrontational at all but I felt so angry !!

Was I completely wrong here ?! I fully regret swearing back.

When do the neglectful habits stop???

So my bf (31) and I (26) have been together almost 7 years. We have a 5 and a 1 year old. I’m getting so tired of his shit…

Every night, he goes in the room, lays down, gets on his phone, and eventually goes to sleep. He leaves his game and tv on, leaves the lights on, if there’s clothes or other things on the bed he just scoots them to my side of the bed, and I’m TIRED.

Tonight, I’m trying to get ready for bed. I’m diabetic so I had to do my shot, take my supplements, use the bathroom, clean off our 1 year olds table, fill up my Stanley, and change diaper. Our youngest is ATTACHED to me. I’m still breastfeeding and my bf likes to use that as an excuse to not get him to sleep or hold him while I do my night routine. Tonight, he tried to bring him to me while I’m trying to use the bathroom, got mad bc I said no, then took my Stanley that I had just filled up, drinks some of it then gives some to our toddler, then goes in the room saying “shut up you on some goofy shit.” Atp I’m irritated. I don’t understand why he can’t take care of his own son. Why do you have to annoy me when I already don’t get any help.

I wanna leave him so bad things like this happen everyday and I’m just emotionally numb and exhausted. Am I overreacting?

At my wits end with Nursery

My little girl is 16 months old and has been attending a local nursery since Jan.

Pretty much every week i get a call saying shes unsettled and crying and can i come get her.

I have had 6 months of this constantly and feel like shes the only one having a meltdown. She goes 3 days a week full days whilst i work.

Do i persevere and push through in the hope she eventually settles in their eyes or do i look to change?

Its mentally and physically exhausting and affecting me where i basically dont eat all day and i am on edge every-time my phone pings. 😭

I don’t know anymore

My husband I’ve been suspecting of falling back into bad habits from many years ago. He cleaned out his car to go away tonight and I found this in the trash. I had suspicions and when I’ve asked him ends up in an argument. I think this time I be smart and calculated. I wait until he gets home tomorrow and drug test him so I get some hard evidence.
I don’t really know if this is device is used for meth but I can’t think of what else he would use it for
