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.

It sounds like you’re not compatible on major life issues. Did you have any discussions before living together? Did he change his mind at a point?

Children cost time and money and the person that is providing that is the one that suffer the most, my husband and I are going to have our first in Sept 1 I know he always wanted to have a bunch of kids, but since we got married we were always realistic on how expensive and timely is to raise kids so now we’re stepping in reality and considering just having the one we left the door open for a second one in 2 years but that depend a lot of our income and capability’s to raise this one, we both work and we have a pretty good life, but we do live in an expensive state and we do not have any family support, he said he will be ok w whatever decision I make in the end of the day we’re both providers we both care for the household and the kid and we both know how difficult it is, never force someone you love to get into something they don’t want just because you want, is selfish for everyone .

Pre school nursery.

My daughter is 15 months old and she is due to start nursery for two mornings a week soon, however I am extremely apprehensive about it! I hate the thought of her getting poorly and I hate the thought of essentially strangers looking after her. Does anybody think it’s actually really important that she goes? We don’t need her to go from a child care point of view and developmentally she isn’t behind at all so I’m contemplating not sending her but I was hoping for some advice and some thoughts! TIA x

Pronouns

I became friends with a mum on here I have 2 daughters 5 and 3. And her children who were born female 5 and 3 as well. We met up everything was good , something happened on the playground and my daughter came to report to us saying “she hit me” the mother said my child isn’t a she , my child is a they , you shouldn’t assign your child a pronoun before they can decide. She was quite annoyed and angry when she said that.
I was shocked because I’ve never met someone who has new pronouns. I let it go my daughter came back and reported the same thing and the mother says the same thing and began teaching my daughter about pronouns and that my daughter can basically decide whether she’s a “they them etc and said all the pronouns available” I decided to end the friendship because l don’t want my children to learn that kind of thing just yet and I’m not really into that per say.
What would you do was l wrong

Stay at home mama

Hey! I recently became a stay at home mom. My husband encouraged it and I thought while she is young this would be prime time to do it.

Here’s things I’m struggling with and need advice or suggestions on how to over come them

- finding time for myself
- not making my own money (I’ve never had to depend on anyone for money)
- cleaning routine (we used to have a cleaning lady once a month) I feel I could do this but it’s hard with a crawler on my hands —or am I making excuses
- I’m still pumping 4 times a day (I’m ok with this I just feel I am still scheduling my day around pumps)
- I recently told my husband I would like to go to a workout class on Tuesdays and told him I wouldn’t go every Tuesday and he said have fun and suggested I’d be taking baby to (this was for me to have me time) I told him I wouldn’t be taking baby


Thoughts suggestions
Please be nice as I’m newly negativing this

Husband divorcing me today

Filing papers to divorce me today for his birthday.

He always liked to ruin every holiday. He has never had any sympathy for me. I am just a baby making vessel to him.

He stole all my ideas and got my dream job and now he is abandoning me and our son.

It hurts so bad.

Daycare just venting

My babys 2.5 and shes been going to daycare since late May. At first she only cried for me but she started liking it a lot then she randomly started hating it and then she got sick and was out for a week. Now last week she was back and she hates it. She cries bad the entire day, I thought it was because of another new baby who cries a lot. But its to the point where she will see me pack her blanket or we get up early in the morning and she starts freaking out and screaming horribly. She will even randomly think about it and start crying. I dont know what to do anymore
