He's definitely the asshole. Not you.

I mean you got 6 kids and currently pregant so you ain't technically ugly to him...he just got issues. He is the definite ahole.

Men cheating rarely ever has to do with the partner. You’re literally gorgeous. Something is wrong with him in head, that’s why they do this shit.

Hes in the wrong i would have a long talk

Id divorce so fast, that money is meant for your family not no hoes my husband did it once and I said if I see that shit again it would be over. Especially when we dont have money like that to start with

Most men expect women to be the bloody image of perfection when we deal with our children, our home, their needs and onto of that the mental health issues that can go along side all of this. It's impossible. From what I've seen is once a woman is a mother their every ounce of energy goes into everything else and what we look like, feel like, want or need becomes below even the bottom of the line. So men seek other women when they've assisted that down fall of us but simply not supporting us or giving us the feeling we are actually worth something.
So mu answer to you is no your not the a hole, your an amazing strong woman who has been let down by a man child that can't step up and show his woman that he's actually a decent human.

What a POS. I don’t see in any context of this where you could be the ahole.

Sis I wouldn’t recommend you having anymore kids by him. You are not the Ahole. He’s a cheater period. Get yourself together , level up however you can whether that’s getting back into school online , your maintenance etc. Put yourself in a better position financially and mentally and go from there …Sending love ❤️
I don't understand. Why are parents not collectively kicking off about this ? Striking ? Refusing?
Maybe controversially, but I'm a teacher myself.
Yes, it is super annoying when a child takes off 2 weeks for hol. But, will they make some awesome memories and have precious family downtime? Very likely.
All the fines do (which were introduced by government) is drive a wedge between usually families that are on board with school policies.
It increases lies. Why tell school your child will be off for 2 days and just say they're unwell?
Then, I see absurd comments like 'well techers strike' or 'well teachers have INSET days'. What? We can't train and teach a class simultaneously. A lot of the strikes have for 10+ years not only been about pay freezes but also cuts to funding!! Which some parents are only realising now! Like the fines are even our choice 🤣🤣. 99% of teachers have nothing to do with attendance - we just say if someone is in or not. Even headteachers, who previously had more power, can't really say much over authorised or unauthorised now.
Yes, there are families and safeguarding issues that these fining policies are meant to prevent/protect but it doesn't always do that!!!!
It feelslike the easiest thing to do is bash teachers on social media rather than doing anything about it 🤷♀️
Also, don't forget some of us are parents and teachers and these issues do also affect us and our familes!!

Hi,
So my husband and I been together 6 years, 3 years as parents.
I’m at this point in my marriage that I’m just so tired of repeating the same thing about the same issue which is that he doesn’t contribute to household anything.
At first I was trying to be understanding of his work load but so many times I’ve voiced my frustration about mental load of having 2 kids under 2 that I’m so overwhelmed with house work, I also work part time as well as being a wife.
I feel like I’m parenting 3 kids..
he says just tell me what needs to be done but we all live in the same space I shouldn’t have to tell him every little things that needs to be done. But when I do ask for help, he says okay but it never gets done.
I feel like I can’t rely on him for anything and I feel resentment when he just lays down and goes on his phone as him “spending time with the kids”
Even sex is so one sided. No foreplay just straight in and done because he’s “ tired”
At this point I feel like it’s easier to just be single parent but I worry that kids needs their dad. We haven’t spoken in a week because I’m out of words and he’s not the type to talk first and waits for me to smooth things over every time.
I just want some advice of women in same situation or have experienced the same thing.
Just wanted to add this is my 2nd marriage but first marriage thankfully no kids were involved.

Hello! My LO is starting nursery in two weeks. I’ll be honest, I can’t talk about it without crying 😳.
I’d love to hear any good news nursery stories? Did your LOs eventually settle? Do they love it? Any tips?!
I’m hoping he’ll love everything being on his level and not constantly being told no all the time 🥲

What are we doing with them?? 37 weeks and wiped out! She is 2.5 and goes to daycare two days a week (but starts nursery school in September 2 hours a day…) but the other days grandparents usually had her (not taking her at present as I am off and no baby here yet) or it was my day off so Im now with her most days and Im so exhausted! So far today she has watched tv for an hour and then we lay on the bed while she played. Or she just wrecks the house. I have no energy to dress us both and go to the park etc, how are we coping? I feel so bad for her asking me to play but omg 😵 Last time at this stage I was napping and watching movies, now I am bribing someone to use the potty and picking up 400 toys 🆘

I live in the middle of nowhere and I really want to get outside more with my little one. Shes only 4 months at the moment. What are some things to do in the shade? Im looking into getting a little swing for our porch but shes still too little to sit up.
