Partner working

Okay I need others opinion on this.. so my partner is a salesman and he only get two days off in the week. Thursdays and every other Sunday. But he’s talking about going in on his off days too. Mind you he’s barely home because of the crazy salesman hours, so when he does have a off day I would think he would want to stay home and maybe have family time or just use the day for something but he’s always saying I need to go to work in order to make a sale if I’m home I’m not making any money.. but mind you I work too . I can see if you trying to pull a lot of sales because I was a stay at home parent. Oh and this is our first child. I’m a new mom, am I tripping for trying to get him to see that off days should be use for family time no matter what? I’m only off on weekends too.

And I have his location etc and we FaceTime when he’s at work.. but that doesn’t make up for time at home . Our child is 2 months

I definitely wouldn't be ok with my partner never being home for a day off to spend with me and our baby. That being said, maybe he is having a hard time figuring out how to be a dad or how to be a partner to you in this new life, and maybe he's trying to run/hide from it? I'm not agreeing with his methods, but suggesting maybe there is some fear or or something going on below the surface he is refusing to talk about. He definitely needs to prioritize setting aside dedicated time for you and the baby regardless of his job, and if he isn't willing to do that with a simple conversation with you sharing your opinion on it then maybe you should suggest couples counseling to discuss whats going on. He's allowed to have whatever feelings he has that'scausing this reaction, but that doesnt give him the right to hide from his family and shirk his responsibilities as a dad and partner. I would absolutely not stay with someone who didn't intend to make time for me or our child

Spanking is abuse?

To the people that classify spanking your children as abuse - if your friend spanks their child as a form of discipline, are you calling child’s services to report them?

HOT TAKE ALERT

If you want to homeschool your child(ren) you should have to have a degree in education

Great example as to why 🤡

I love being a boy mom 🥰🤭

So my 9 month old just gave me a hug and asked for a kiss * he said mama kiss 😭 aaaghhhhhhhhh 🤭I’m running around the house like a toddler 😂😂 even if he tires me out everyday and pulls my hair and scream for fun and want me to pick him for 6 hours a day , I mean even if he prefers to hang with dad and comes to me for food and comfort when he falls down and yeah he started walking so that means he’s using those little legs for their for. And likes to open the toilet and I have to wash it everyday and he likes to eat dirt when we play outside and I am basically he’s shadow because I’m trying to keep him alive 😭 I love being a boy mom

Do you think children being picky eaters are in general a result of their parents ? Like not being given a variety of tastes and textures from a young age . Or exposed to sugary and snack foods marketed at babies which replace real food

( I know there is exceptions of course such as kids on the spectrum and arfid ) . I have heard this topic before and I’m curious on others opinions !

Am I too cautious when it comes to choking?

My toddler (almost 2) is going to be transitioning into the toddler classroom at daycare soon. She had her first visit and I noticed in the pictures posted that her blueberries were served whole not cut up. At home we're very big on cutting any foods that could be a choking hazard, such as blueberries and grapes. I sent an email to her new educators and kindly asked that blueberries be cut in the future. Am I too cautious? Or was emailing them the right thing to do?

He won't eat food

He is refusing solids all together. I cant get him to eat anything. It was cure is play won't eat anything anymore. I don't understand what im doing wrong here. Like he just won't eat and I feel like if I start giving formula again that this will never end. Im so fucking frustrated right now. Like I'm having a break down right now. There so many things that are already overwhelming me and this is just another fucking thing.
