How are we entertaining our 5 month olds?

My little one can crawl and roll but not sit yet and entertaining him is getting quite difficult. I’m struggling to also go to get something without him rolling half way across the room and banging his head. I’m struggling to entertain him as he’ll no longer lie and bat toys but he’s not at the point of playing with the next stage up toy. Along with my 2.5 year old jumping off sofas I’m knackered just stopping them both from hurting themselves and wondering what toys are entertaining your 5 month olds?

My little girls the same except she also sits and pulling herself to stand - I’m finding she just wants to play with her 2.5yr old sister or everything I don’t want her to - using tables to pull herself up etc etc. I think it’s difficult with toys at this stage because they’re exploring by moving around instead 🤦🏻‍♀️ she’s obsessed with the fan and the lead to the fan too! I’m finding the same that I’m just on watch hoping that one of them doesn’t get hurt!

Can he be the one even if I'm unsatisfied sexually?

We dated in college and that was 10 years ago. The sex was great then. We like the same things, he's so respectful, comes from a good family and I've known him all my life because he's my best friend's twin brother. We decided to give it a go again and we have the same chemistry we did before but now I'm so unsatisfied sexually. TMI but last night he initiated sex and this is the first time in maybe 3 years (we had a brief fling then) and he came before we could even have sex..... I said it's ok and we just went to bed. Earlier today he initiated again and we were having sex for maybe 2 minutes, I'm not exaggerating before he said hold on and he had to pull out so he wouldn't finish. And he's trying to keep the mood going because we just started so he's kissing me and stuff but it kind of just frustrated me more. We continue the same way and he stops again. We start again and then we go for maybe a little longer and I finish but not in a very fulfilling way if that makes sense. I tell him not to cum inside of me and he says ok. We continue and I'm finally like yes ok we're getting somewhere. Then he says we have to take a break and pulls out really quickly. I ask if he came and he says he doesn't think so. And then I say I think you came inside of me and he's like I might have came a little bit but I'm pretty sure I came out WTF?!
I don't know if I can have sex this way again. It's frustrating and if this is the sex we are going to have then I don't know if it will get better. I don't know if it was nerves. He's a healthy guy and stuff too man I'm so unsure

me and husband argued in front of our daughter

My daughter is now 3.5 years old and me and my husband got on each others nerves today was just a stressful day as we’ve got 3 kids under 5 so it’s full on plus with the newborn it’s intense. So we argued a few times today and it all started quite petty about cleaning. My husband basically was mopping the kitchen floor and told me that it’s not his job anyway he’s just helping me out. I’m exclusively breast feeding and have been through some hard times recently so I just ended up boiling over like a kettle. Feel so awful that we argued in front of our daughter as she kept telling her daddy to stop talking mean and to say sorry because he’s being naughty to mummy I feel so terrible like I’m an awful mum now 😢 just want some encouraging words from anyone. I feel so bad

House chores

LO is now 4 months old, going on 5 and I still can’t get any house work done other than the bed everyday and laundry. The baby is exclusively breastfed, so understandbly that also has some impact. We are even considering bringing a baby sitter in once a week so I help around the house for a full day, clean and batch cook and freeze for us. Baby dad helps, but his own bandwidth is reduced given he can only take the baby after work and we don’t want him to sort out all the house stuff and miss out on bonding with the baby either. How is everybody doing this? Our family is abroad, any tips welcome
