People bringing their ACTIVELY sick children to playgroups is why I choose nature first for our son

Before anyone says anything, yes I'm aware kids get sick... No shit. Doesn't mean we all bring our sick children to playgroups just because it happens.

Also yes I'm aware of building immunity, doesn't mean our son and other children need to build sleepless nights because of someone's lack of judgement. Especially immune compromised children. NOTE I said ACTIVELY sick and specifically state playgroups that are NOT mandatory for parents. You can sit out for one week if your child is ACTIVELY sick. Just thought I would be specific in what I'm saying so no one goes off topic and says "well you can't keep them in for every sniffle" not what I'm talking about. To finish any comments saying "well don't go to playgroups then" will be blocked. Shouldn't have to avoid them because someone wants to bring a newly sick child in 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have avoided playgroups when my son was sick for 2 weeks to be sure, because I'm my area Mums bring their newborns...not that hard. For now we will be doing small nature walks 🌲

Anyone get annoyed with their kids just for being kids?

My Kids are actually very good. But I still find myself constantly yelling and telling them to just go play….I feel guilty all the time and feel its a symptom of my mental heath issues. Any small kind advice on how to be less angry for no reason.

How do you feel about your partner going on holiday with boys

With 2 kids at home..

Expecting too much?

I'm on a babymoon (5 night cruise) with my fiance and I'm almost 20 weeks pregnant. I got a sunburn on the beach unfortunately and even before that I was noticing swelling in my ankles. I told him several times that I wanted to enjoy the cruise by eating to my heart's content and reading while watching the waves. I stay home due to health complications so he is the one paying for the expenses for this vacation, one I couldn't have without him and I am grateful but I'm SO tired! With the sunburn and my belly growing so much recently, my feet are swollen and incredibly painful to be on. I encourage him to do stuff by himself but he keeps expecting me to join him at the pool in the sun, activities he wants to do on the top deck, and walking around in 100 degree weather when I show signs of fainting when I'm out in the heat. I don't want to disappoint him so I've been pushing myself really hard - it has been hard to stand let alone walk, my ankles have been swollen and my feet so red that they look purple, my head has been hurting, my stomach cramping, and I'm just sick of it. We got in an argument because I didn't want to wear sunscreen for the first time this trip because I had horrible bumps/rash yesterday and I don't know what caused it and he said he's been trying to help me the whole trip. I don't understand and I'm upset - how can he be mad at me for forgoing sunscreen for a 10 minute swim in the shade (that we both agreed would be good for my cramping) when I've been miserable and vocal about my symptoms this whole trip? I feel crazy and he doesn't get how hard pregnancy is and how much I've done to make him happy. I'm exhausted. Am I crazy? Am I alone?

3 girls 1 boy

Okay so my husband and I had 3 girls then we finally had a boy. I am seeing a complete different side of him. Not bad but he's having way more input about our son then he did with our daughters like what he wears and watches etc like I said I'm not complaining it's just different lol

I feel quite heartbroken if I’m honest

My hubby of 13 years said to me tonight have you done something different you actually look fit for a change! I was like pardon? Bare in mind I’m only youngish 38 lol I always take care of myself hair done , lashes , brows, make up, smell good nice clothes you name it I try my best but to hear this from the man I love I feel deflated we have young kids so ik tired I’m trying my best putting my all in he’s not happy unless getting constant sex but I get no affection kiss’s no cuddles nothing off him but he expects it all when I don’t feel loved off him im currently going threw CBT therapy for PTSD and been put on HRT patch’s for peri so my heads all abit over the place atm I feel very disappointed with how my hubby has treated me is this normal behaviour to treat somebody like this I can’t come to terms with it atall it’s made me feel very insecure about myself again

Opinions

Need opinions, I’m a sahm 22 with a 9m old, fiance 22 works full time 8-12 hr shifts for backstory he works m-f sometimes sat it’s been rare for Saturdays but I feel as though I’m losing interest in the relationship I’m not sure what it is or why he’s amazing he helps with baby on weekends that’s his “shift with baby” but idk what it is his bsf has been living with us for 3 weeks now certain stuffs been bothering me for ex. His friend taking my cigs (gross ik) but he hasn’t addressed him abt it as my fiance and man of the house I would’ve thought he would have said something, there was another issue that I feel as though he hasn’t properly defended me on people I’ve talked to abt it said he’s should’ve been kicked out due to him causing a disturbance but my fiance has that I can’t do that to him mentality which I love that he values others but idk ik we’re young and he has growing to do but I keep finding myself in a I want a man or for him to be like a man I have no clue where the shift even came from, I found myself talking to him saying I’m losing interest, we barley spend time together and if so we’re on our phones or doing the deed that there’s not much else he’s gotten us paint stuff from his parents so we can do that but it’s been sitting in his car I find myself asking him or reminding him to do certain things which also is slightly annoying it’s just idk I’d like some feedback good or bad (my grammar sucks) just needed thoughts and feedback
