Husbands/ partners going out

This is something I’ve struggled with for years!! My husband will go out most / if not every weekend! And he doesn’t see anything wrong in it as he works hard all week, so wants to have a few drinks at the weekend but I hate it and he doesn’t see anything wrong with it. Am I being dramatic?

Do you also get time to go out? That would be the biggest issue to me. My husband goes out at least one night every weekend, but I also get a night to myself and we still spend time together. If it's been a few weeks and I haven't gone out, then we have an issue.

I don’t think you’re being dramatic. He should listen and acknowledge your feelings. My husband doesn’t go out. I’ve encouraged him to go but he still chooses to stay home. He wants to spend time with his kid and he wants to support his wife. We are each other’s best friend and he’s made a comment like “why would I leave my best friend?”

Scared to leave baby with partner?

Is anyone else scared to leave their baby with their partner for long periods of time? My partner is so supportive and he is absolutely amazing with our little one however he is still very colicky and I know my husband doesn’t have the same level of patience as me and will loose his temper. He would never ever become aggressive towards the baby but his stress levels would rise to the max then I feel guilty. Sometimes I could deal with it all day then he gets like this after an hour of being with the baby when he finishes work so then I feel guilty needing that moment??

At what age is baby ready for sit down restaurants?

My birthday was in the middle of my pregnancy so I couldn't do my typical birthday dinner at my favorite sit down restaurant and we planned to do it after I had baby. He's 7 weeks tomorrow and I feel like it's still too early to go bc he'd be in his car seat most of the time, which tbh he doesn't mind, he loves his car seat but i don't like him to be in there for too long.

Help, baby foods

Hi! FTM, my son is 4 months old, I want to start him on SOME baby food before his dad starts getting him on his own so it’s not completely dependent on bottles because his dad doesn’t even know how to make a bottle… I was going to start him around 5 months to give him a month on some foods before his dad starts getting him for multiple days, any tips, advice or suggestions to ease the transition? He is allergic to dairy and have a very sensitive stomach (another reason why I wanted to start giving him some because I’m not sure that his dad wouldn’t just give him all kinds of things behind my back ands cause problems with his stomach…)

What gives a more positive first vibe (UK ish)

30 hours funded childcare for non working parents/a household with a non working parent

Or

45 hour funded childcare for working twin parents specifically for the 'extra twin' the first one would just get the standard 30 hours funded.

Just pondering based on the other poll.

Calendar App

I’m looking at getting an online calendar, preferably an app to share childcare arrangements with everyone involved in my daughter’s care.

Has anyone got any recommendations?

My 2 year old doesn’t know how to play with other little children around the same age!!

My 2 year old is used to older children and plays happily with them however we’ve just come back from a little caravan holiday and whilst we were there she was playing on the park whilst another little girl was also playing rather than trying to interact she would come over to me and her dad and tell us the little girl wanted to play with her but wouldn’t actually play and would just stand there awkwardly and run away from the other child. How do I help this?
