Need to vent

Does anyone else feel completely alone, even though they have a partner?
I love my baby more than anything, but lately I feel like I'm doing this on my own. I'm the one taking care of the baby most of the time, and I'm exhausted. My partner thinks that because I'm on maternity leave and he's working, I should be the one with the baby all the time. We don't even live together yet, so it makes everything feel even harder.
I also have a son to care for, and some days I honestly feel like a single mom all over again. I just wish I had more support and for someone to understand that being home with a baby isn't a break—it's exhausting too.

Nursery - is this normal?

My child has been harmed by another child at nursery 5 times in the last 5 weeks. I’ve tried to address it with the nursery and told them that I don’t feel that my child is safe but they keep dismissing this and telling me that it’s completely normal and ‘bound to happen’. I’m a first time mum so I don’t know, is this normal or would you change nursery?

Neglectful neighbors

I don’t know if I’m just too much of a helicopter Mom but is this normal for anybody else? am I being too judgmental. My neighbors let their kid walk around for 10 minutes around their house. All by himself crying for daddy. I don’t know it just breaks my heart.

Help me..

My husband of 8 years woke up yesterday and said he no longer loves me and hasnt for the last 3 years. Today we talked I ended up seeing his phone and it was another women. A women we had a problem with 3 years ago. He fell in love with her... and out of it with me.. I stayed home while he created a career. I dont have a bank account. I dont have a job. I have nothing...

How do I stop feeling so bitter?

My husband left me 6/7 months ago now, he said he fell out of love with me because I didn’t give him love after I had our boys (pretty much back to back pregnancies). After my last, I had a section and a terrible recovery and was readmitted with a horrific infection and when I got home I was solo parenting as he had to go back to work. I felt so resentful at times because he wouldn’t help with our toddler and newborn and even after speaking up, he’d say he’d help and never did so I never felt emotionally able to give him anything.
I felt so unsupported after both of my pregnancies, even during them to be honest.
What irks me is that our relationship has been rocky, he hasn’t been the nicest to me and has lived as though he was single throughout the whole relationship. I put up with so much and always stayed loyal and kept loving him through the bad times. Now, I feel really angry and sad that through my tough time after birth that he easily called it quits and didn’t give me the same energy when things got tough on my part. At my most vulnerable moment when emotions are high and erratic, he throws in the towel like our family isn’t worth it? He comes to see the boys a few times a week and I feel like I hate him. He’s being disgustingly nice to me and tries to be affectionate sometimes and it makes me irrationally angry. I tell him it’s not fair to act that way when he knows I love him and he doesn’t love me and he doesn’t listen. Sorry it’s a bit of a ramble but I just wanted to get this off my chest!

Just curious: who mows the lawn?

Who mows the lawn at your house? I have been mowing this summer because my husband works in the heat all day and he shouldn't have to come home and spend more time in the heat and less time with his kids. I usually mow during nap. He says he's really appreciative but also feels bad since he feels it's the man's job. My neighbor (an older man) came up to me mowing today and said 'your husband too lazy to mow? A girl shouldn't be mowing.' I said 'he's working a lot and I'm making his life easier.' If im not working in the summer then I can help out at home. What everyone's thoughts?

Advice please 😭

Hi I don’t really have any friend or family to talk to this about. I’ve been staying home with my two small children for about a year now, except I’m not supposed to be a SAHM. My husband has been begging me to get a job and I am trying to I’m not sure what he expects from me. He currently works one job from noon to 4pm and another from 5pm to midnight. He will not give up either and has asked me to find something with early morning hours for example from 5am-11am. It’s been difficult finding something like that. Even more difficult to make it to an interview since I am the one that always has the kids. We can not afford daycare, the only baby sitter we have is his mother and she works all week 7am- 5pm. I’ve gotten a couple calls about jobs but he just tells me the hours won’t work for us, or that we can figure out something to do with the kids. But I have lost three jobs bc “figuring something out” usually just means I’m taking them to work with me which always results in me losing my job. Along with that my daughter has autism and has weekly OT and speech appointments that he will not take them to. Is there something I’m missing to make a job work? He tells me I’m just being negative about it. I’m truly just feeling stuck about what I need to be doing.
