How to transition to doing feeds and nappies out and about?!

Hi! My little girl is 3 weeks old today ✨️ we've been out a few times for short trips to have lunch or coffee but have always done it in between feeds. I feel like i need to go out more for my mental health but how do I transition to doing feeds and nappies out and about?! When can I go to the shops and do normal things without her being at risk from the germs?! Also worried about being in the car, she shouldn't really sleep in the car seat and needs to be out of it after 30 mins right?! Anyone else have anxiety about all these things?

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?

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

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
