How ???

Why is it okay for men to just come and go as they please ?
BD just gets up gets changed and says cya later and walks out the house to go on a night out only to return at 5:30am and then spend the remainder of the day in bed.
Meanwhile I’m looking after our 2 kids who are under 2.
How is this behaviour seen as acceptable ?

It’s not and you absolutely need to have a conversation about it. Be level headed but firm in setting boundaries and his understanding of your feelings and needs as your partner in the relationship and as a co parent.

It’s not acceptable. You need to put your foot down ASAP. Also 5:30 in the morning suggests drug use as no one can just be up that long with no ‘help’ which is something I’d take seriously too

I literally went through exactly what you’re saying! I was forever a control freak because I didn’t want him to go out every night! Get rid of him, you will feel a lot better! I have 2 under 2 aswell, it’s hard on ur own but you can do it! 💪xxx

I want to beat my husband in an argument ❤️😂

For context this is a funny argument. Not serious.
So I’m freshly 6 months postpartum and breast feeding. Our baby is going through severe sleep regression and wakes up every 30-40mins for a snack on the booby. If I don’t give it to him he wake up in hysterics. So I tend to get very hungry in the middle of the night and I’ll make my self a snack platter.

That being said when he gets up in the morning for work I’m either still awake or only slept for 30mins. So I haven’t cleaned up all my snacks on my bedside. This goes on through out the day and I accumulate maybe 5 snacks wrapper or a drink container. He said no other woman does this and I’m messy and should clean it up right away.

Given the baby is a Velcro I tend to clean the whole once every two days to three days where I put an hour of dedicated time to deep cleaning everything but with the snacks. I clean them up at night when I refill my snacks and water.

So here’s the debate he says if I can talk to other women who do this and actually prove my point he will apologize. (We are laughing about this but I just want to be right that breastfeeding hunger and little to no time to sleep puts a delay on the little things) 😁🥰

Be honest I’m not sensitive lol.

Am I asking for too much

Have got a 1 year old and am 10 weeks pregnant with our 2nd. 3 days a week I’m up at 5am to get myself ready for work, then baby ready for nursery before taking him to nursery and going to work. I then do the nursery collection after work and have an hour or so before my husbands home where I do everything. Then on my 2 days off I’m up early and doing everything all day. Come the weekends when my husbands home I’ve on many occasions quietly got out of bed to get my son up so that my husband can continue sleeping in. But not once have I ever had the chance myself. It’s never been offered, it comes across as a hardship if my husband has to get up and it takes him so long to decide he is I may as well get up. I’ve brought it up with him on many occasions but we’ve ended up disagreeing or bickering. All I want is to sometimes be able to stay in bed longer, enjoy a coffee and a rest

Question for those who just started solids

Hey mamas.

This may be a silly question but im curious to know. For those who just started solids, how are you feeding your LO when you are out? What are they sitting on?

Husband on phone from morning until night. Is this normal?

I sometimes have to yell like 5 times for him to respond to me and sometimes he still won’t respond. Our child will be next to him trying to talk to him and he will either ignore her of won’t even hear he’s because he’s so damn distracted.

I tried to bring it up to him and he got really mad and said he’s so stressed because he has so much on his mind and I don’t have a lot on my mind to worry about like he does so the phone isn’t the problem. He said he prob wouldn’t respond to me if he wasn’t on the phone because of how much is on his mind.

He won’t get off his damn phone and it’s been like 5 years. It’s gotten worse as our child got older, but he will literally have his eyes glued to the phone from morning f until night.

He won’t even have much of a conversation with me most of the time it’s unbelievable no matter how much I complain to him.

Have to vent … I’m tired

I’m so exhausted …. I don’t have anyone I can go move with for me and my kids ….. I’m stuck with an abusive husband that constantly beats me up, put guns to my head , throw my clothes in the dumpster , smash my phones to pieces , and locks me outside from 9 am till the following morning …… then is forcing poly on me while claiming that he’s a pimp . Will be on the phone with women in my face having hours long conversations, going to sit outside in the car with them … will talk bad about me to any and everybody …. But then wants to fight and threatening me when I try to find ways to leave …. I’m tired , I’m exhausted , I’m depressed , I’m overwhelmed , and I’m starting to feel less than …. I’m almost to the point of no return …. The police out here won’t do much …. And if I do get him locked up once he makes bond i know I’ll be dead …..

I'm trying to get a head start for my sons 2nd birthday (since I'll be moving right before it) so I would LOVE any recommendations on toys if you have any!
Bonus points if they help with speech or encourage gross motors skills!
