MIL

really struggling with my MIL. whenever we see her she holds my baby the whole time and won’t once pass her back to me even when i ask. even if she cries she walks off rocking her rather than ever giving her to me. she also won’t put my baby down even if she’s falling asleep despite us asking her to. i’m obviously glad she has so much love for her but i find it extremely overbearing and at times it feels like she’s taking over when she’s around us and it just makes me not even want to see her. i’ve explained my thoughts to my partner and he says “she’s just excited it’s her first grandchild” and i get that but i should still expect a balance!!!!! we’re going on a meet up with both my mum and his mum at the weekend and im starting to feel
sick with anxiety that she will be the same infront of my mum and not let her hold her either.. my mum lives much further away so we can’t see them as often so i’d find it disrespectful and uncomfortable for all sides

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.

Am I being difficult?

My 3yo goes to my in laws house once a week. I back a bag with his snacks, toys, clothes and PJs. They pick him up early morning, spends all day there the comes back bathed and ready for bed. My MIL keeps his clothes and I keep reminding them to return it. Once I ran out of vests and underwear because they were all there. I buy good quality clothes, vests and underwear. Before I could buy extra because I was working but now I'm on maternity leave. I just want his clothes back.

Lying parent

I have a 12 week old baby we live at my mums until we get housed but my mum smokes and hardly washes her hands so god knows what else shes touched.. she will then go into my room to see baby and touch his hands and when I ask if shes washed her hands she says yes but I know she hasnt so I then have to wash baby's hands but today he put his hands in his mouth before I washed them! She just wont listen to me and when I have a go she storms off like im the bad guy and tries to make me feel guilty.. will baby be okay do you think? He didn't suck on hands but just put them to his mouth

How much is your baby actually eating?

My little boy is 8.5 months and is mostly on 3 meals a day unless we’re out and about, I give mainly finger foods with a little bit of a puree at dinner then spoon fed yoghurt. He’ll eat puree fine although still makes some rather funny facial expressions and can still gag a lot at new flavours. Anything baby snack food like melty puffs or wafers etc he’ll eat fine, however anything else that I’ll cook and give him he’ll bite off chew then instead of swallowing it he pushes it to the front of his mouth and spits it back out? So basically his whole meal I give him is now munched up bits all in his bib😂 wondering if anyone else’s baby is the same? as my 3 year old at this age was completely different and eating food really well. I know you shouldn’t compare but finding it strange he can’t seem to swallow food that’s a bit firmer and doesn’t just “melt”

SAHM of 7 cannot compete with husbands co worker

Sahm of 7 who homeschools and has a husband who is a manager and works 50 hours a week. Thought I was doing pretty good until my husband got drunk and told me that he could be with top models that do way more (cleaning) for $20 then I do all day. He’s talking about his co workers who are young and have less children and who obviously work. I told him that I was trying and getting better at cleaning but not having a break was taking a toll on me. He continued to tell me how he was to ignore this honest hard working women while I who doesn’t deserve his loyalty can’t clean as well. I cried. I cannot compete. I’ve had hard pregnancies and this damn cooper iud is hard to deal with symptomatically. What should I do? Is this cheating? He’s with these women more than me.

Online safety, sharing kids pics and AI manipulation

Just sharing this video with helpful tips as I know it can a controversial topic but I think it's so important to be aware and informed on the dangers of AI and posting our children so that we can make the right precautions to protect our children 🤍
