Would you get annoyed at your sister?

So our hot water wasn’t working, as the boiler pressure was down.
I called to report it, and the landlord was telling me that we should try boiling hot water, and putting it in a plastic container and washing ourselves in the kitchen ( as I said I don’t want to carry boiling water to the bathroom with two small kids). ( as a temporary fix while someone comes to repair).

And I told my mum who was with me ( my mum was in a group call with my sister and aunts). And my sister said they tried tricking you guys, and we said no, and she said they tricked Bethany ( meaning me).

It’s fine if she just said it to me, but they were on a group call with other aunties! I felt so undermined. I got annoyed saying what trick are you talking about! So now the aunts gonna think I’m disrespectful?

Are you UK? I know they have certain responsibilities with vulnerable (children) and hot water so if they are trying to put off repairs by saying wash in kitchen then that feels a bit dodgy and I can understand why she would think they are 'tricking' you. I dont personally think its a big deal she said it in front of aunts, its clearly part of the conversation they are all in and I dont see any harm in it. I also dont understand how you saying what trick are you talking about is going to make anyone think you are disrespectful?

I want another child but can’t do it 😢

I need to rant.
Every year we say next year.
But we just keep getting tired and tired.
Our nights become earlier.
Husband and I are too tired to hang out.
We have a 3 & a half year old daughter. Whom we adore.
The amount of exhaustion we have from her constantly telling us to look, how fast she wants to show us something from one thing to another, the talking.
We are great parents and know what we are doing, we tell her when it’s time for quiet time but we are dealing with a very energetic kid.
She’s in day care but we still can’t recover.
Do you believe that?

Am I in the wrong

I suggested to my husband that he could maybe one night every couple of weekends he could get up with the kids. At the minute im up about 5 times a night with both kids so hardly getting any sleep. Im happy to do this during the week as he is working and im on Mat leave but i dont think its unreasonable for once in a while for me to have one nights sleep. Also I do all the cooking/cleaning/childcare.
He just said no, he has a physical job and his body needs rest. He said he'll end up ill if he doesnt get his sleep. Im just really tired and expected to do everything all the time because im on mat leave.

(Genuinely curious) Would you let your child

Would you let your child read trans educational books if they’re offered in the school library? When answering please say a reason why

Struggling with jealousy

I’m having a hard time being ok with my husband’s interactions with women. It’s gotten to the point where I’m starting to lash out and projecting my own emotional turmoil onto others in the form of judgement. He is a lawyer and a lot of his colleagues are women. I trust that he does not cheat, but I’m having a hard time dealing with my jealous emotions. Any tips?

Toddler asking for food all day long

I am genuinely getting concerned about how often my child asks for food.
It can be as soon as 15 minutes after a meal and she will be asking for lunch or a snack.
It doesn't matter what she has - carbs, meat, cheese, fruit, yogurt - she never seems full up?!
She will keep asking for a snack continuously until I give her something.
It feels like she's asking out of habit but she will always eat whatever I give her.
