Am I wrong for not letting my BF discipline our child over something he actually does himself like scream and hit?

My bf is often screaming yelling and aggressive at times and I get so angry when he tries to discipline our child about her screaming and hitting bc he does the very exact same thing

Am I wrong for not letting him say anything to her about it bc he’s just being a hypocrite bc when he does it it’s ok but when she does it it’s wrong. I want him to lead by example and then he can say something to her

Or should I still let her discipline her and teach her better?

So I don’t think you’re completely wrong. I hate a hypocrite!!! but as a parent, we should teach our kids to be better than us because it is learned behavior. I am a loud mom & I’m a yeller. My kids have picked up on that && I hate it because I also don’t like that I do it. I picked it up from my mother && I was never corrected so now I’m repeating it to my children. Now as a mom I will also try to correct myself to show them it’s not OK for either one of us, so he does need to have self reflection on him as well, and that’s how you can bring it up to him.

Btw I’m working on separating bc of his behavior

I've had some super painful realizations since having another baby almost 4 months ago. Anyone else with more than 1 child experience that?

A lot of big feelings about my parents and myself as a mother. I had a big one today about myself as a mother.

Bath routines

How many times do you bath a baby week? Mine is 10 months and we bath her every other night, and clean her everyday. I read you shouldn’t bath a baby every day because it can dry out their skin? Just wanted confirmation I’m not doing anything wrong 🤣x

Belly dropped

So I am 34 weeks +1 with my first and I think my belly dropped today. It literally feels like he is between my legs and I have to pee constantly even when I just went. So I panic bought everything I need for the hospital bag and postpartum care. How long after belly dropping did you go into labor?

Is it normal?

I have a 5 year old. I've just found out im pregnant, I dont know if im happy or scared and over thinking but I dont know what to do. Is it normal to feel this way? I have noone to talk to it about and dont want to be telling anyone with being so early and having friends that have recently experienced a loss.

Changing the pram over

Night wakings

Hi, is anyone else struggling with their baby waking up multiple times a night ? My baby is currently waking up 6 or more times a night. She got so good and was waking up 1-2 times max and the past two or so weeks its up and down constantly!

Im not expecting her to sleep through the night but to just try and lower the amount of wakings at night cause im barely getting any sleep and during the day she doesn’t nap long never has.

Ive tried different things that I have seen but nothing seems to help. We have a consistent bedtime routine and have had it for ages now and bedtime is usually around 6:30-8pm.

Any advice would be appreciated
