Travelling with a 2 year old

I’m going on holiday next year my son will be 2. We are going Spain does anyone know if I need to call the hotel and request a travel cot or if I should bring my own? This will be my first time going to a different country for a holiday as well as my son and his dad. Safe to say I’m nervous as hell 😭😂also any advice and travel hacks would be very appreciated

How do you all handle financial issues? We split cu no matter how much he has he is not paying it all. Every bill connected to him gets behind even rent sometimes. I’m tired but know I can’t afford to be on my own with 5 kids. The bill he does contribute does make a difference. But I’m tired if he has 200 and a bill is 120 he will give 80 and keep the rest for his self. Not for the house not for the kids. I cover all the kids financially obligations I cover the home insurance and other insurances. I cover tall the food and he has the electric it is at 800 I just saw this month. And I’m like how has this not been paid. It’s electronic bill that he gets. And I pay all the others. How does it get that high and you have the money. Guess I’m just venting but I’m tired. Says God gone make a way and I’m like yeah and you gone spend it.

Day out recommendations

Before I return to work we want to do 1 big family day out! I want it to be as baby focused as possible. Ideally somewhere he can move around and explore. He will be about 10 months. Please give me any recommendations or suggestions. Thank you

Too overwhelmed to take toddler out alone

Anybody else?
My boy is very high energy and is in the peak of toddler tantrum stage. I am currently pregnant again and I’m experiencing exhaustion, overwhelm and anxiety which is stopping me taking him anywhere on my own.
I would love to be able to take him to the park or play area etc on my own but it’s just too much (at least too much in my mind). I always worry how will I cope if he has a tantrum etc.
I manage to nip to the shops with him sometimes on my own as long as I have snacks etc with me for him but I feel so guilty that we don’t get to do more.

Has anyone been? Is it worth it? I’ve got a 2y old.

What would you do?

I have been working on my mental health heavily these past few years (therapy, TMS, Ketamine, various antidepressants, etc) and the one thing that keeps me depressed is the way my husband treats me, or lack thereof. I feel like a ghost in my own home and have never felt so alone while being with someone. Thank goodness for my kids, but it all comes to how I dont get support or empathy from my husband. We rarely even speak anymore. I'm too scared to talk anymore because if I say anything, he just shuts down and won't talk to me. God knows I've tried speaking to him in so many different ways, different wording, different ways to bring up the topic, etc. Ive tried couples therapy, Ive tried encouraging him to go to therapy for himself, but he refuses to see that his actions are hurting me or our marriage. He's probably happy I dont bring anything up anymore because I'm so defeated, but I know that isn't the answer because it wears me down so much. I am struggling so much and I know things need to change, but if trying to talk to him about how his actions hurts leads to me being given the silent treatment, I don't know what to do other than to leave. What would you do if the lack of anything from your partner has such a detrimental hit to your mental health? I'm leaning more and more to divorce, but I can't afford it.... sorry for the rambling, I just dont know what to do.
