My mom is not as present as I thought she would be

Just wanted to come on here and vent a little bit. I’m a FTM and my mom absolutely loves children. She always wanted to be a grandma but said she never wanted to pressure me into having kids if I didn’t want any.

I’m so grateful for my little one. He has filled a hole in my heart I didn’t know even existed. I’m also very lucky to have a husband who is very hands on and we split taking care of him as fairly as possible. I’m out on maternity leave and my husband is back at work so majority of the caretaking is on me right now.
This is not a complaint that I don’t have a good support system in my house.

It’s just my mom doesn’t help as much as she says she wants to. She says she will come and help me clean or take care of baby but when she’s here she just wants to carry the baby and nothing else. She won’t feed him, burp him, change his diaper. Nothing other than hold him. I asked her to change his diaper for me and she said no she doesn’t do diapers. Im guessing she thinks this is doing me a favor just holding him so I can get stuff done around the house but not really when I still have to take care of him and when I do take care of him she’s criticizing me for something. Sometimes I lash out at her because I get frustrated but for me it’s like why are commenting if you don’t even do anything yourself?? I’m starting to think she just likes the idea of being a grandma?

I have a doctor appointment and she’s the only person I can ask for watch baby for an hour and I’m nervous. I know it’s only an hour but she refuses to even learn how to heat up a bottle so I’m like am I coming home to chaos??

Vent over if you made it this far thanks for reading

pissed at partner

we have a one month almost 2 month old now and honestly, I am super pissed and I hate my partner. He sleeps at night and doesn't help at all with her and even during the day he hasn't the most helpful either me doing all the cleaning of the bottles and the pump parts and dealing with both of our kids right now I'm just trying to get her to go to sleep and he's laying in bed snoring i want to yell at him to get out he's just making me really mad and I hate being around him. I just have my six week check. All he wants to do is have sex and I don't want anything to do with that. i've tried talking to him but he's just not understanding.

SAHMs, how much help do you get from your husband?

I don’t have any family or friends here, so it’s just me, my 19-month-old, and my husband. I’m a SAHM. He works in the office 2 days a week, and the rest of the time he works from home. Most days he also plays games while he’s working. They’re always chatting on Discord too, so even on his lunch break, instead of helping around the house, he’s gaming or texting.

Today I took our toddler out for almost the whole day. When we got home, the kitchen was a mess, the house was a mess, and there was no food ready for the baby, so I had to cook after we got back. Am I wrong for expecting him to help with things like that?

I do all the deep cleaning and most of the cooking. He does clean sometimes, but it’s never a proper deep clean. During the day, he usually takes her out for about an hour so I can have a break.

Our baby goes to bed at 7 pm, so after that we’re both free. He usually just gets on his games, while I’m still thinking about everything that needs doing. I’m getting really annoyed because if I don’t ask him to do something, he just won’t do it.

Am I a bad citizen and a terrible example?
So today we went out for a walk & my son needed to pee, bt there was no toilet in site. I told him to just pee on a tree, so we hid & he did! Was I wrong? What would u have done?

I’m also overthinking cuz I’m asking myself would I have told my daughter if I girl child to pee outside?

Relationship problems

Hi everyone,
Myself and my partner have a 1 year old boy and a unborn baby boy due in a few weeks and he has a 9 year old with another woman who he doesn’t have contact with and he said he’s going to get laser vasectomy because he’s done having more babies but I personally don’t feel like I’m not done like I want more babies with him. I’ve always pictured myself having more than 2 babies. I’ve even said that we could wait until the 2 we have are in school so there’s an age gap and he’s still saying he doesn’t want any more babies and he’s getting a vasectomy. It makes me feel so sad and hurt that he doesn’t want any more and grow our family but I’m not gonna force him to have babies if he doesn’t want them. I feel like we are both wanting different things and im struggling to think that we will be okay and I have to put aside my wanting for more babies. My partner gives me and our children the world and I don’t want to lose him but sometimes I feel like I have already lost him(not just because of the baby situation like there are other things). What do I do about this situation because everytime we talk about having more children in the future or someone mentioning more it turns into an argument.

Crying

I don’t know how to describe my situation. I am a stay home mom with a 6 year old boy and a 7 weeks old girl. Living here in abroad with mother and father in law, brother in law and his wife and their child in the same household. No family from my side . Everyday cooking. Have to please everyone.Husband doesn’t understand me. He doesn’t want to listen. He works from home. Only at night he comes to my room.
Nobody to talk with physically. My day starts listening everybody is working, you the only one staying home. I am not giving any time to my son . Newborn doesn’t sleep. Maximum days I think why I am alive.
