Would you be annoyed at this reaction

We were at a children's party the other day (5 year olds) a little girl hit/pushed my daughter in the stomach ( I saw it and told the little girl "No you dont hit" she ran off.
My daughter was very upset.
About 40 minutes later the little girl ran over and said sorry to my daughter.
Her dad mum was there this time and asked me what she was saying sorry for I told her because she pushed my daughter in the stomach.
The mum just said " oh well thats what kids do at that age" and then carried on talking to someone else!
If that was me I would have apologized

She’s right and wrong… yes kids do this sometimes to rarely or never but at the same time if you see it or if it happens don’t just go “meh 👐🏾” and continue on with your day teacher your kids to be gentle with other kids…like is this not common since ? My son is autistic and when I see him push his brother that’s 7 almost 8 months over or when he’s in his walker and pushes his brother out his way etc I tell him not to do that and I tell him why and he frowns about it or cries for a few seconds but atleast he’s learning how it would feel if it happened to him so he can try to have a much better day by using gentle hands and being kind but at the same time his brother tries to bite him and pull his hair so It’s a somewhat often war but other days be a lot smoother 😂

I don't care if it's something that kids do at that age if my little boy hit/pushed someone in the stomach I'd be talking to him and telling him we don't do that and to use his gentle hands and either getting him to apologise or I would.

This is unacceptable reaction from mum imo, this is why there are so many violent children in schools now, nobody ever taught them basic behaviour and this includes the special needs kids - of course they may have more outbursts and tendencies to lash out, but a lot of them also understand very well what it means to treat others how you'd like to be treated. All parents, teachers etc should make the maximum effort to teach them this no matter what, it's a basic thing required for a decent society.

I hope to never cross paths with parents like this because I don't know if I'll be able to remain calm.

Am I being insane

(Forgot to make it a poll)

I keep thinking that if the roles were reversed, I would be such a better husband. I feel like I'm a lot more thoughtful than my husband, I get him small things from the store or a food he's been "craving" while I'm the one thats pregnant! I cook 100% of the time and clean 95%. I dont work so I guess he beats me on that. We have a 3 year old and only one car so I'm stuck with a baby while 7 months pregnant. When my husband comes home, he asks to take a nap, which I say yes nearly 100% of the time because I know how exhausted the day can make us. I just feel sad because I dont get offered a back massage or a foot massage. Like ever. Or a small gift. Or a "thanks for carrying my child!" Like I don't even feel pregnant and I feel a little taken advantage of.

He says he just forgets or doesnt think about me all the time and am I insane for being hurt by that??

Any other moms awake and cannot sleep at the moment?

Baby girl was born on Monday evening at 22.35 after a rather long, exhausting labour (she just didn’t want to come into the world that day)! We were discharged yesterday and have been home since, to be honest last night wasn’t even so bad. Today however, she’s been feeding almost all day (cluster feeding, sometimes for an hour and a half, other times for 10 min!) and since I’m breastfeeding I have some “cracking” problems, as well as latch and attachment issues, which the midwives will call me about tomorrow morning. We gave her formula a few times as well and she just seems constantly hungry, so I of course panic I don’t produce enough collostrum (milk hasn’t come in yet)!to keep her full. I’m sore all over, totally inlove with her and totally overwhelmed. Every time she cries, I cry and I constantly worry if she’s getting enough to eat. My husband is my absolute hero and rock and the best dad ever. I just feel..alone in the motherly feelings and hormones and emotions I’m going through and honestly don’t know how to not panic. Also, how to keep her warm enough? Different midwives told us different things and it’s all just so confusing. 😭
I apologize for the long post 😕 many mothers around offered advice and help, I just don’t feel like I can text them at 1.30am and melt down…

Childcare of baby number 1 when you're in labour with baby number 2?

I'm just wondering what people are doing with their other kids, when they go into labour and need to go into the hospital? I have a 21 month old, we have no close family near us to help. Nursery have agreed to have her in even if its not a day she normally does, but what do we do on a weekend? Or an evening? Hire a babysitter? Feels like a one off kind of situation...
