Who's in the wrong here?

Just curious what others opinions are on this.
Mom takes her 2 boys to pool. Theyre
4 and 5 old enough to change themselves.
The 4 year old just turned 4 so hes still potty training.
When 4 year old is changing after swimming he poops on floor in men's restroom.
Mom notices it picks it up and leaves does not stay longer than 10 secondsand made sure no one else was in there.
Another Mom sees it happen and says shes gonna call police on Mom who picked up poop.

… why would she call the police… for poo?

Would they prefer she left it there ???? I’m sure the staff was glad they didn’t have to pick up poo! If she shouted in like hey guys a mom coming in to clean up a mess is it all clear or whatever that’s fine. I’m sure she was embarrassed and overwhelmed by her son pooping on the floor!! Calling the police for that is so over the top oh my fucking god

I wouldn't call the police over a mum entering a men restroom.
But, at 4 and 5 I'd just take them into the women's one anyway just to avoid mad weird sitch like this

That lady is crazy.

Lesson for mum 1 that the 4 year old probably still needs adult help whilst changing in a public space in case they need to go to the toilet.

Overreaction from mum 2 though, I'm not sure why the police would be necessary in this situation. The only people I would tell are the receptionists at the pool (or the equivalent) so that the floor can be cleaned properly.

Affair

I could use advice and help!! Unfortunately my husband cheated on me for months following my postpartum(online chat rooms and money for videos) with one specific person. I’m devastated and I don’t know what to do or feel. I feel disgusting. He’s an amazing father and usually an husband so I don’t know what went wrong. I need to hear some positive advice! Please!

I find myself getting quite agressive with my children

Please be kind as I am struggling and looking for help because I hate it!
I have two young children and I don't know what's wrong with me but whenever I am going through a lot, stressed and most especially frustrated/angry it's like something takes control over me and I become very agressive with my little ones without wanting to. I shout, I grab their hand quite hard and I'm just not very gentle.
I can see how much it affects them and always apologise after and give them a hug while I explain why I did what I did. That I was frustrated, but I shouldn't have reacted that way. I haven't been kind/gentle with them.
It's just me on my own and I do find it really hard. I can't afford a sitter and have no family near me or friends. What can I actually do? Because if I carry on like this I would rather give them up. As heart breaking as it is, I often think they'd be better off with another family who doesn't have such a short fuse

would you still feed your 1yo this?

I wanted to make marry me chicken so I bought sun-dried tomatoes without checking the label first… Guidelines say it’s OK but I don’t know if I trust the guidelines completely

Paying a sixth of what he believes is the weekly bills rent and food..

Hi everybody, I’m a single Mam 4. My partner and I had our son four years ago we hadn’t been together very long. He broke up at me when I was pregnant and then got back with me then moved in to my house without invitation two weeks before our son was born and said he’ll give me €70 a week as a “contribution” at the time I had just had a child. I was very emotional and didn’t want to argue with him about money. I am on a loan parent payment and he is full time employed at a well paid job. I have tried to bring it up few times that it is just unfair to think that a grown man can move out of his parents house move in with a single Mum and think that his donation of what he calls is about a sixth because I should have to pay the rest because of me and my four kids. (my youngest child is his)
I do all the cooking all the cleaning I do all his washing. I have his dinner ready for him when he comes home and I buy all the stuff for his lunches, so he doesn’t have to buy food when he’s in work he just thinks I should supply it and will eat stuff I have bought for my kids for their school lunches even though I ask him not to he laughed like it’s a joke.

Feel uneasy about toddler play

I sometimes feel uneasy about my toddler playing with other children because I’m worried I’m judged by other parents for our skin colour. Is this an anxiety I have or do other parents feel the same?

Would these be safe to give to my son?

My mum bought these jelly pouches and I was wondering if they would be safe to give to my little boy? He’s 7 months old they claim to be sugar free and free of preservatives I wasn’t thinking of giving it as a sole food but to be used for more of a sensory experience but obviously that would include him putting it in his mouth just wondering what people think. I’ll post a picture of the back/ingredient list in the comment
