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.

This enrages me every time I see it and feel you have done it on behalf of all of us needing parent and child bays…

But maybe leave that as your final fight on that front - she’s a lazy b* but there’s also some nasty b* out there x

Guilt all the time

Both my husband and I are struggling with this horrible guilty feeling about our 3 year old son and its difficult to understand why.
We do a good job at parenting him, generally we rarely get frustrated, we never yell, we always try to be gentle and reassure him, we handle tantrums well I think. Our son is a kind boy, he's sweet and funny and chaotic, but also shy and cautious sometimes. However I think we're doing a good job raising him.

But every night we sit together after putting him to bed and think of all the little moments we lost patience, or didn't play with him because we were too busy (we also have a baby so it's not always easy), we both feel so guilty about any screentime (he only gets to watch certain TV programs, he doesn't have a tablet), or we'll feel guilty if we didn't do anything that day or stayed in most of the day.

Are these feelings normal? I feel like a total failure every night and I don't know why because I know on paper we are good, loving parents. I just wish I could do more, offer him more time, better food (I'm a terrible cook but I try my best), better days out, better activities in the house, it all just feels overwhelming and like he's not happy. I know he is happy most of the time though, he just has his moments like every other 3 year old and is starting to have some really big feelings.

Does anyone else feel guilt like this every night even though you know you're doing a good job??

Play time

Hi there my baby will be 6 months soon. I’ve had a really rough postpartum journey. Splitting from his dad at 3 month (kicked out) and having to figure it all out on my own. I didn’t want my baby to have alot of screen time but because of my situation some days I had to put him in front of the tv just to get things done to catch myself alil. He’s accustom to the tv now and ignores it sometimes when it’s on. But I want to start being interactive with him more. Not just putting him in the play pen with toys in front of the tv. What are you guys doing with your 6 month old to keep them entertained

Gonna lose my shit

LONG POST
For starter these were also me
I’m legit at my point, literally sick of my husband. I’m stuck paying EVERY bill, last month I had to get the one car serviced & I put it on my AR (comes out of each pay), I had to ask the owners for a pay advance (comes out of each pay). I’m literally stuck paying it all, I get paid this Friday & it’s already gonna be $694.93 (electric, gas, garbage, water, twice for daycare) then in the middle of it there’s a $406.84 car payment. I’m literally over it. I should not work full time (8am-5pm) m-f while he’s home everyday (he only went to work 2 times this month) not cleaning, not doing anything besides just drinking. I literally get off work, get the kids, come home, make dinner, all while the kids always need me, they’re Velcro, clean, get accused of fucking/wanting my coworkers. Earlier today after I got home he said he’ll sue me & whoever I leave him for. Do everything, then he wonders why I hate him or won’t have sex with him. I’m legit at that point where I just say shit I don’t mean (ex: this is why moms off themselves, or I hate my life) anything like that. Then when we fight he says he’s just gonna 302 me, he’ll take the kids, take the house we just got ($1344.77 mortgage), take everything. Yet he DONT work.

9 months postpartum and just had a positive test.

I am currently 9 months postpartum with our rainbow boy (he’s our 3rd)! He’s been the best present ever and I’m so grateful to have him! I currently have a very irregular cycle since having him. I’m talking like one month I’ll have a period the next month I won’t. Well my gut just told me to take a test today and shockingly it was positive. Like SUPER positive. I honestly couldn’t tell you the last time my husband and I were active, we are too busy running after 3 boys!

Here’s my issue, I am already SO overwhelmed. I go to bed in tears every night because there so much to do and be done and I feel like I don’t have enough hours in the day.. I’m currently a stay at home mom do to moving out of state. It’s so hard living in today’s world financially, even having a “healthy” income. I just still feel like we have our struggles like every family does. Mentally I just feel like I can’t do it. Not right now. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around this and I just don’t know what/how to do this again…

Honestly I just needed to vent. Some encouraging words would be so appreciated right now.
