What would you do?

I live in a small town and one of the shops has recently put a golliwog doll in their shop window. I went in and explained to the woman who owns the shop how offensive they are. She basically laughed, called me a snowflake and told me to get out.

Mostly a rant

I feel like I must be going out of my mind.

Me and my husband are constantly fighting. He keeps saying it's over the little stuff, but all these little things add up? And I feel exhausted when it's the same thing happening over and over again and he never listens to me.
He spent 4 months after baby was born telling me there was nothing wrong with baby, at nearly 5 months after constant fighting I have a diagnosis for him and it sucks to be right but also I don't know why my husband had to fight me so much and undermine me.
His mum never respects our boundaries and he pretends he doesn't see it rather than get involved in addressing the issue.
Our home is an absolute mess. As in, mould growing in places that don't get cleaned and I try my best to do what I can but birth left me disabled and I have a sick baby to look after all the time. I feel like I shouldn't have to walk him to something, put it in his hands and ask him to take care of it or clean it. I wish he'd just look around and see what needs doing. He also messes up whatever room I've managed to get on top of and it's like having a teenager in the house.
He also keeps doing really stupid things around the baby, like holding him whilst cooking steak and the fat is spitting everywhere or just a few hours ago leaving scissors balancing above our babies head and he keeps saying it's okay because nothing bad happened but surely that's beside the lint you want to try and avoid an accident at all costs?
I know nothing will resolve. I just felt like I needed to express this somewhere because everyone keeps saying he's such a nice guy but don't factor in how having a grown ass baby to look after is killing me.

at what point can i just give away the toys? lol

my almost 7 year old refuses to clean her room. she will kick and hit and scream and fight and flat out refuse shouting “NO!!!” until we give up. sometimes very seldomly she will cave and attempts to clean it over the span of several hours, sometimes a whole day and complaining the entire time, after literally days of fighting with us about it. but she will only do it if someone stands in there with her and delegates tasks. this is unsustainable as i have 781 other things to do around the home and a 3 month old to care for.

i have made a chore chart getting her room able to be clean within 5-6 steps, when focusing and just getting it done it takes at most 30-45 minutes if it’s really, really messy. i have cleaned it for her, i have stood in there to delegate tasks, i have tried firm, i have tried soft, i have tried everything and nothing works. i am always telling her to pick up after herself when it’s small so it doesn’t get big and hard to manage yet this happens literally every time. at what point can i just donate the toys except the ones she actively plays with everyday? should i take them and put them up in a box and she can earn them back? what do i do???

she’s currently on Day 4 of no TV/screen time and no special treats until she does her chores and still, no end in sight. i’m so burnt out i just want her to do her chores because it’s the right thing to do she can’t just make massive messes and never help clean them up.

Do you pick up your child from the nursery much earlier before the session ends?

My son’s nursery baby room session finishes at 6pm. Pick up normally starts from 5pm but I notice all the babies have gone home before 6pm. If I arrive at 5:45pm he would be the last one remaining in the room.

There was one time I got a call from the nursery saying my son was unhappy and he seemed to be very itchy from his eczema. I went to picked him up earlier and I notice another 2 babies were also being picked up at 4:40 pm.

Do parents (working or SAHP) generally prefer to pick up their children from nurseries early?

Drained and exhausted

So my boyfriend mom thinks I should’ve been stopped nursing my son and he didn’t defend that part not only that but he also says I’m making our son a “softy” he’s only 1 years old btw and my boyfriend comes home from work at 4:30pm and won’t spend time with him until it’s time for me to put my son and daughter for bed and wants to play mind you this is 9pm at night like you had
more than enough time to play with them both and didn’t and his mom said how is someone gonna watch my son if he wants be breastfed all the time well I don’t have a license right now so I’m in the house 24/7 everyday all day besides taking my kids in the backyard

Am I tripping

So I have about 6 weeks left untill I give birth. I have no food in my home I do now cuz I went to the food pantry. My phone is off I'm using wifi. I'm 2 months behind on rent. I have no school supplies or school clothes for my two other children. Im in the negatives in my bank account. I have transportation. Yes I've tried calling resources but apparently you can't call free numbers with the wifi apps so I can't even reach out for gov assistance. is that enough to trip out on both baby daddies and cut them off. Yes I've told them both I'm struggling. I stupidly gave the unborn childs father money from selling my old car to get a new car he put my name on the insurance I only see that car when he's at my house he keeps promising to get me another in time for winter when I have to walk my other two to school but I'm feeling that not happening. I'm so tired. I feel I'ma have to buss it open online to make some money. Yes I've applied to a million jobs and have not gotten one. No the other dad can't take them he works over the road and lives in his truck. The other one doesn't even have a place he hopes between parents. Yes I'm a bird and a clown but I'm trying to get up I'm so done with men

Oh what a night

So, an evening that was meant to be a celebration of passing my driving test in Thursday and being able to relax with no children as turned into a shit show.
I had a gut feeling and have done for awhile now and checked my partners phone (massive wrong thing for me to do I know this) how ever I saw on his lock screen the suggestion Apple do and the top one was “send message to “name” on twitter so I looked and my god, he has been hounding women in his inbox for their OF and messages to and from women to pay for images etc bare in mind we’re in the process of buying a house so that transaction will be know to our mortgage advisors 🤦🏽‍♀️ also I have no personal issues with people on OF, it’s a boundary to me in a relationship.
So seeing this I screen shot a conversation so it’s on his camera roll when he opens it next haha..
he came into the room and mentioned anal, it’s something I told him can happen give or take when it’s right. I’ve also had bowl issues as a child as I’ve explained to him on days when I’ve teared or it’s softer than usually and then that night or the night after it’s brought up but today when I told him I’ve never told previous partners how much it’s hurts me his first response was “I won’t bother asking no more”
Not I understand so we’ll wait or something softer.
I’m probably over reacting but I needed a rant before I fall asleep while he’s downstairs 😂
