First holiday

I’ve taken my LO (6m) on his first holiday with my parents and my partner. I’m seriously struggling. My parents are helping loads with the baby but I feel guilty about handing him over. I honestly feel completely trapped here me and my partner have had no time to ourselves it’s so tense between us. Anyone else have a really terrible first holiday? I’ve literally been crying in the toilet away from everyone. Feel so dramatic and ungrateful

Is this rude?

My partner's mum is a hoarder and wanted to do a clear out of her house. So she leant her our vacuum cleaner as we had a spare. The one we gave her was bigger and better suction but we managed.
She leant it for approx 2 months.

When my partner went to pick it up, the nozzle had broken (snapped) she had taped it back on with thick masking tape.
She then mentioned she had ordered herself the same model etc, due to be delivered later that day. It was a Henry vacuum cleaner.

She made no offer to replace ours. She was smiling that it was a great vacuum and she couldn't wait to get one of her own. She also struggles financially so it's a bit awkward.

Is this rude or am I overreacting?

Housework and kids

Would love to know some opinions.

I was with a mum friend and she made a comment (wasn’t to be mean or offend me) but it did make me think.
We were talking about cleaning/housework and saying how having kids and keeping up with the house was hard. I then said I clean as I go, l spend 10 mins after meal times cleaning or I’ll let my little one have some free play while I put washing on or away, hoovering ect.

She was really taken aback and said oh no she lets it build during the day and then once her kids are in bed then cleans, tidies and gets all the jobs done. She thinks that doing it while they are awake is taking time away from the kids and being with them.

I’m really interested to know what people think and what you do? Because I feel a bit guilty now maybe In looking at the housework all wrong? But for me personally I can’t sit with mess all around me it makes me feel suffocated.

If you saw another child pushing your child and the mum wasnt doing anything what would you do?

This is in the playground

No understanding

I was at a soft play with my 20 month old son today and there was a sand pit area.
My son was really excited and after a few minutes of being there he picked up some sand and threw it into the air. Unfortunately some landed on a boy playing next to him so I told him that we don't throw sand and took him out of the sand pit.
I apologised to who I think was the boy's grandma and she just shook her head angrily. I understand that sand can get in eyes and children need to eventually learn that we shouldn't throw it but I feel like some people show no understanding or kindness when its a toddler who clearly didn't mean to hurt anyone.
It also crossed my mind that the woman might be racist as my son isn't white and she was already giving off a bad energy.

Should I be annoyed?? Husband rant!

I've broken two fingers in my dominant hand. I can just about eat with my left hand and that's it. My fingers are strapped up and I'm in a lot of pain.

First thing my husband said was "you're still doing the housework tomorrow" I said thank you for being so caring and considerate.

Anyway I came home and he had done most of the housework but still left me to do the upstairs. Cleaning bathrooms, hoovering, dusting etc. It's taken me three hours as I had to stop and start due to the pain and my husband still managed to make snide remarks about the quality of my cleaning and how long it was taking..

Am I overthinking this?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a little over a month now, he’s not my baby’s father but he’s been very supportive of me and my pregnancy. When we first started talking and dating we would spend a good amount of time talking on the phone, to be more precise about 6-8hrs on the phone. Now after meeting in person for the first time we will maybe spend about an hour to two hours on the phone before he has to go to bed for work. When he has free time in the day he uses it to take naps after work or spend time gaming with his friend because they also live far away and he’s trying to maintain his friendships with them. Other times it’s time with his coworkers who he’s made friends with, and then once that’s done he’ll be home normally by 8-9pm and depending on what happens he’ll play video games on his own or clean. By 11pm he’ll have time for me and will let me know he’s going to call. We do text throughout the day but because he’s normally busy with something it’s kind of sparse and or more spaced out. I’ve brought up before how I would love to occupy more of his time if possible but nothing really changed and I was left feeling like I’m just begging for his attention when he doesn’t really have time for me anymore. Which he said wasn’t the case he’s just bad at accommodating me into his day now because he’s just doing what he normally would be doing if he was single.
