Would you be annoyed?

My partner is getting up for work at 5am - he’s getting up having a shower and shave and just being loud.
The little boy is now awake at 5.20 because of it and I’m absolutely shattered!
My partner said he needs to shower and shave in the mornings.

Guys I'm about to crash out. My daughter is going through what I can only describe as terrible 2 but she's only 9 months old. My husband recently took a new job but it's night shift so he is gone from 5:30-5 but by the time he wakes up in the morning I'm basically all alone with our daughter from 5:30pm to 2pm the next day. Usually he has Thursday, Friday, and Saturday off so I let him rest as much as he wants Thursday and Saturday and ask him to take her Friday. Well he just told me that he works tomorrow because he has mandatory overtime (which he's known about for a week) and won't be able to take our daughter Friday as it'll be his rest day and I usually give him Saturday. Literally the only thing keeping me sane was the fact that Friday I could finally have some me time after what has been one of the worst weeks I've had since becoming a mom. I'm literally curled up on my couch crying as I type this trying to get my daughter to sleep cause she refuses to and has been for over a month. Please help.

Would you take you kids to a place you know has no phone service?

I had the urge just now to take my kids up to the mountains where there is absolutely no cell service. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve never been on my own or my anxiety but I full on panicked after thinking about it. Like what if something happens? I’d have to drive almost an hour before I got service. My mom used to do this all the time with us as kids. Please tell me I’m crazy and to just go have fun

MIL - Need advice please?!

So guys please can you tell me if I’m overthinking, Over reacting.

So my MIL has my daughter who is currently 6 months over night every other Tuesday & Takes her out for the day (walking with the pram on Wednesdays) 10-5 usually

She’s started saying we need bits (which we do) like a sun shade umbrella & a Dummy clip ect. She then shows off she’s brought them but is weirdly over protective of them. I thought she’d buy them for us - everyone to use. As it’ll be for the Pram?! For my Daughter?

Anyways my fella has also seen & felt it. Bringing the Dummy clip out of her back to attach it and then when she’s bringing her back un attaching it and putting it back in her bag. These are items we could do with it’s just strange that’s she’s like I’ve brought them there mine sorta thing.

I don’t know like ofc when I get some money I’ll buy these myself but I mentioned wow £30 on a sun umbrella no wonder you
Don’t want to give it us, and she just said yes it’s very good. To see what she replied to and wasn’t expecting that really. Just feels pointless her buying for 1 day a week.

I don’t know if I’m over reacting but I feel it’s ODD. Like I get what she’s spend her money it’s hers and her choice & I shouldn’t feel like she has to give me because it’s my baby. But knows we could Do with these things and struggling with money ect. The first thing is put it on and off the pram when she’s comes and leaves. I don’t know just wanted some other mums advice see what there thoughts were.

Anything she has at her house I’ve provided, Cot, Toys ect. So it’s not like she’s provided all these items and I’m taking the mick out of her.

Do you think its important for your child to socialize with other children from their class out of school?

Im talking lower school, where you are also socializing with the mums
