Am I wrong?

So me and my bf got into a huge argument today. He is upset because im upset about him calling me a weak person and all together just being a disrespectful person towards me . So last weekend he decided to bring his other daughter (shes 6) to meet her new lil sis (our daughter) he told me that he was gonna help clean I didn’t have to do it all myself. I have an 10 yr old son as well so , during this convo he said I could go to his house to get rest while he watches the girls , my son decided to come home from by his grandmother cus he goes to school over there and she helps me out plus all his cousins over there as well . So I said no I’ll stay at my place cus its gonna be 3 kids and I could just sleep in the bed with my son while him and the girls take my room. He really didn’t do anything. He slept most of the time the first night I got 4hrs of sleep and then he came in the middle of the night while I was pumping and gave her to me . Settled her down brought her back in the room. The second night he just complained about how she keeps waking up . Now mind you I pumped and made bottles for him so all he had to do was grab warm and feed . So long story short , he told me today that I need to stop breastfeeding because our daughter isn’t getting enough milk . Now she was 7lbs 15oz at birth and now is 9lbs 10oz as of now . I make about 4 if im lucky 5oz per pump session. My daughter is 4 weeks old today. She drinks about 2.5-3oz of milk. He told me he was gonna come stay over the weekend again and help out . Came Friday, didn’t really help baby started getting fussy he handing her back to me saying “she doesn’t like me” 😒, leaves Saturday morning the whole day he was gone came back around 8:30pish brought pampers (cool) but only stayed for 15 mins left. Texted me around midnight asked if I was sleep I said no , he said he was on his way back , I like the message. Then texts back “If you want me to just wait til the morning I can do that as well” so I said why? Then replied back it doesn’t matter” cus at that point I saw no reason to be arguing if you said you were on the way 🤦🏾‍♀️. Then text back “ima just come in the morning i don’t want to disturb you.” So the today he calls around 1p and gets upset about me not interacting the way he wants me to with him . Tells me that when I get help from him I have an attitude. But in reality when he comes over I don’t speak I go in my room let him get the baby and lay down and relax. Answer whatever question he asks and thats it, no laughing no joking no nothing. Im tired and overwhelmed I wake up every 2-3hrs to keep a human alive while he’s at his house gets all his rest , goes to work and go straight home and relaxes and he wants to tell me im making this a bad experience for him . Im making it harder on myself because im breastfeeding and I need to stop . I need to give my baby formula. He’s had 4 other kids and he knows what to do . Just degrading me . So he comes get her and I slept for 2.5 hrs and he texted me saying to unlock the door, walks in and says “She doesn’t like the formula” I tried giving her 4 oz of it but she not drinking it. She just kept pushing the bottle out . Started breastfeeding her she’s feeding well . Now am I wrong for wanting to just get a couple hours of sleep? Or was all this just a “doing too much” thing that didn’t even needed to happen? Cus he got proven wrong and didn’t want to say anything like his pride was hurt about being wrong.

Relationship in the gutter

I think my relationship with my baby's dad is heading towards the gutter...
Ever since having my little boy I've been struggling with being physically involved with my partner, it's almost like the idea of it repulsives me?
I've never been a very romantic person, nor have I ever been very good at being intimate (due to abuse from a previous relationship).
Lately it feels like he's pressuring me into being intimate, and saying I don't love him because I can't do it. I've explained to him many times about how I'm feeling but it just doesn't seem to change anything. He even said he feels like we're just friends at this point.
He's aware of my past issues, and has no issues with that. I've had therapy for my past, but this seems different?

I don't know what I'm hoping for from this post, just feel like I need to air out how I'm feeling!
I've had a "breakdown" today, not that he found out. Just don't feel I have anyone to talk to about it

Can you be too much of a mom?

Have you ever had someone tell you you’re too much of a mom and you make others around? You feel bad because they don’t do as much with their kids that your too good and they wish you’d mess up more so others don’t feel bad. I do spend a lot of time with my children. Yes, I do activities with them. Yes I do play with them. Yes, but I am not perfect. No one is I have moments where I’m stressed out and burned out and I just want five minutes by myself, but do I take that out on my kids no do I get frustrated and overwhelmed absolutely do I have one of my kids 24 seven yes her father lives out of state, but my son spends time with his father, but I always 100% have my daughter. Do I leave her with anyone? Absolutely not I’m a very big true crime person and I’ve seen tons and tons of cases with these children get severely abuse neglected or even end up no longer breathing is that the only reason now I’ve just never gotten to the point where I feel like I need to go out and party or needs to do any specific kid free activity would it be nice yes but do I feel like that is more of a priority than being with my child no did I choose to be a mother yes so do I feel like it’s anyone else’s responsibility to take care of her, but because I don’t have babysitters on demand and anything I do involves my children. I got told I’m too much of a mom and I think that’s a little crazy but am I the one that’s crazy do I specifically need kid free time I’m not dating. I’m not trying to date. I’m in the process of buying a home for my children’s long-term future, I am focused on me and them right now, so am I missing some role that I have to have time without them this person also has a kid I guess I could understand if they didn’t. They would want me to be able to be free from time to time yes but they also have a child and claim they have no help or no break but they definitely do not as much as they would like, but definitely more than I do and me not wanting or needing it at this moment seems to be a problem for them. I said when my youngest is old enough to talk fully, I will gladly feel a little better doing these things. She’s only 18 months and my son is three, but he is speech delayed, but I have no choice when it comes to his dad and his time and who he leaves him with but my daughter 100% my choice she talks better than her three year-old brother she’s very advanced, but do I still feel ready at this point? No I don’t but am I damaging my child because I don’t just leave her with anyone and take so-called breaks. I understand some people need it and some people can’t handle it but I just don’t feel that way. Is that a bad thing? Am I really missing something. I’m genuinely asking. I’m not trying to damage my child, but like I said, I also know the risks me and my family aren’t close. I can’t trust them with my child. All of my close friends live out of state so it’s not like any of them can watch her and I’m definitely not leaving my kid with any random stranger just to have a night out and like I said her father lives out of state.

Wants me to be a homemaker but complains when I take the role seriously...

Early in the relationship we agreed that we will have mostly traditional family roles, he goes to work and makes money for the family, I stay home to manage the household and raise the children. My biggest struggle is keeping up with cleaning, I find it hard to do with 2 little ones constantly making messes, and when I do get the opportunity to clean motivation becomes an issue. I find it the easiest to clean when I'm actually proud and happy with the space I'm cleaning.

I started making home improvements to help improve my motivation, some matching furniture, matching bedding sets, replacing a few old items, hang some things on our bare beige walls, nothing too crazy. He'd complain about costs then complain about helping me if something needed power tools to put together but always enjoyed the end result of my ideas and our work. That's a common reoccurrance, him complaining and arguing against something the whole time just to find that he actually likes the results.

I'm trying to get to a point where I'm making family dinners more often and we all eat at the table I just upcycled for us but this is just another string of complaints. Complaints about the ingredients I get and the food I want to make for us that he's never even had before or has had and just doesn't want to spend money on the ingredients. I want to make 3 homemade meals this week, nothing too crazy either, and apparently that's asking too much for him to cooperate with. I want to make baked white fish, he complains he won't like it even though he says he hasn't had it, complains it might be expensive, complains it might stink up the whole house.

He just wants everything to stay as it's always been yet married me because he wants improvement and change in our lives together. If he were alone he'd be in a nearly bare apartment but I want to make it a home for our family and every idea I have or try out gets complaints and push back and never really receives the appreciation or thanks for it after he finds he does really like what I bring to the table. He wants me to consider being our children's homeschool teacher but I dread the potential complaints I'd hear from him, I'd need to see a change in attitude and support before I take on that task.

Anyone else relate or dealt with this before? Any advice that doesn't involve dramatically divorcing?

Have Family member around for the first month pp?

I'm FTM due in Jan 2027.
Me and my husband have been arguing about this, so I’d really love to hear other people’s experiences!
I’d like to have my sister around after I have the baby. She works, but she’s happy to come and stay for at least 3 weeks to a month to help me during the early days. However, during her last visit, my MIL told my husband that having someone around might mean we don’t get enough time to bond with the baby, and that if she had the choice, she’d have only wanted mum and dad around.

She did actually have her own mum with her for at least 3 weeks after both of her deliveries, but since that comment my husband has been quite stuck on the idea that it should just be “our family time” and that he’ll be there to support me.
I come from a big joint family, so having family around after a baby is completely normal to me. All my sisters had family helping them during their postpartum recovery, so I’ve always seen it as a time when you get extra support rather than something that takes away from bonding with your baby.

My sister is also not someone who would constantly be in our business or take over. She’d help where needed and give us plenty of space to have our own time as a new family.

I’m also finding this particularly difficult because I don’t have my mum, so my sister is really the closest person I have who could be there for me emotionally and practically. My husband will be home for 2 weeks on paternity leave, but after that I’ll be on my own while he goes back to work.

So I’d really love to know what others think. Am I being too sensitive about this, or is it completely reasonable to want family around during those first few weeks for the emotional, physical and practical support?

Would you personally prefer to have just you and your partner around to bond with the baby, or would you have appreciated an extra pair of hands and some company?

And if you had family staying with you after birth, did you find it helpful or did you feel like it got in the way of having your own family time? Would really appreciate hearing everyone’s experiences!

Bd drama

Just need someone to vent to about my bd and his first bm

Why do so many people think every single thing a parent didn't do exactly right is down to laziness...

It's always 'they're lazy' 'parents are so lazy' 'parents thesedays are just lazy'
It's applied to every single scenario where a parent does not follow a guideline to a T. I'm tired of people assuming I'm lazy when I am fighting for my life just trying to survive each day.
