Not sure if I’m depressed or what

Woke up today feeling like I need to be scrolling too much on social media, haven’t work all day and stayed in my phone most of the day.. proceeded to try to work and then felt like crying out of knowhere. Las t week I had a fight with my husband and we discussed in front of my son who is 2 years. It was not that bad of a discussion and we supposedly got to an agreement to make things better but I just don’t feel like it got norrmal.. I feel like there is some built resentment between us both, I think I have an anxious attachment and he is avoidant and just stays quiet when we discuss important things and lately I’ve felt like I can’t really talk with him or anyone about how lonely I feel in my relationship, he never says I love you, never gives compliments, never hugs and when I talk to him never seems to be interested and doesn’t respond to anything I say.. if I ask what do you thing he’ll say o don’t know what do you want me to say.. he has mentioned I talk too much, doesn’t like to do anything I like to do or try anything different than staying at home rotting in front of a tv and I just wish even if he was not a fan of different things he would at least try for once but his no or dislike of everything I suggest is very determinant meaning whatever I want to do I can’t count on him to do and I’m in my own in everything

When I get in those funks, I try to get out more. I will take the kids to library and have small talk with people there. Whatever you have to do to make you happy.

Men are much different than women. My husband was raised to bottle his feelings. Your husband just may not know how to handle what you are going through.

Please be honest with me ..

My daughter was crying in car the whole drive home. My husband tells her to shut up and I tell him not to say that to her. He then goes on basically saying I’m a bad mom because I don’t let him parent because I told him not to tell her to shut up. (4years old) he says if he was the one staying at home (SAHM)she would be acting that way (crying all the way home) am I a bad parent who doesn’t let him parent because i tell him not to tell her to shut up? He then tries to justify it by saying growing up his parents told him to shut the F up and hit him and tells me I don’t know how your parents raised you etc .. continues to tell me do your duty teach them good values, etc..does this whole situation raise a question that I’m a bad mom? And am I just being sensitive because I didn’t like how he told her to shut up?

(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

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?

Urine sample

The gp has asked for me to get a urine sample from my 7 month old girl!
Please any tips and tricks as sitting with a pot infront of her with no nappy and waiting might send me round the bend 😂

How to grow?

How do you stay progressive when you are a mother?

It almost feels impossible at times. Almost like my goals have stopped, meaning while my partner chases his.

I feel like I'm falling behind.

I always aimed for a promotion every 2 years or would move jobs for more money.

Maternity leave was soo bad and I have alot of unexpected cost which left me in debt. I have only just managed to clear it.

But the reality is being a mum comes and wife comes with alot of mental load. Don't get me started on working a job. Theres no time to feed into myself, my goals or even think about what's next for progression.

How do you stay progressive? (level up in life?

Like at this stage of life, are you where you thought your be?

I honestly thought I would have multiple streams of income. But I'm struggling mentally with this 1 currently have.
