Period … am I obligated to give my man oral?

My period is on, and I’m feeling like awful.
And my bf, isn’t too happy . Why? Because I can’t have sex.
He wants oral .. but I’m hurting.
And his next move ? To be pouting man about it. And he told me “you are obligated to give oral when you’re bleeding.”

Accessing nursery funded hours

My son has just started nursery receiving the 30 funded hours as I work. His nursery charge £15 a day to cover the cost of meals and “extra curricular activities” such as story telling and sensory play… I have queried this as according to DfE guidance these charges cannot be compulsory and the nursery have to give alternatives to parents who cannot pay these extra costs. I’m also questioning how things such as story telling or sensory play can even be considered as an extra curricular activity when they are part of the basic EYFS curriculum and therefore should not be charged for. They have said they do not allow packed lunch and are not offering an alternative to paying for these extra activities. Does anyone have any advice or been in a similar situation?

I feel like such an awful mum

I have to go to work.My 1 year old daughter is going to pre school 3 days a week 9.30 until 5.30 and it’s so upsetting. She absolutely loves it and is so happy and settled there. But I feel like such an awful mum because I’m at work and I don’t have my baby with me. I have spoken to other mum and they are doing as much as possible to spend as much time as they can to be with their baby’s 1 working from home and asking her mum to be at home with her and the baby all the time and 1 not even sending their child to any pre school at all but I just feel so guilty that I’m not doing the same and part of me enjoys the time away from her so I’m literally sat here crying at the fact that I just don’t know how to feel. I so wish that I could spend all day every day with her but the bottom line is I can’t and everyone says time is so precious and that enjoy then when they are young but I’m just so so so upset that I can’t. I don’t really know what I want out of this post maybe just someone to say that their children still love them even tho they have had to work when they were little 😂😭

Sorry I just didn’t know who to ask about how I feel

How do you manage to get chores done while having a 7month old?

I’m with my baby 24/7 and sometimes I have a hard time fitting in chores while my bf is as work. Our daughter is very active and attached. If I put her in walker while I do dishes , within 5-10mins she will want to be out. Her naps have gotten shorter as well and sometimes I will nap with her cuz I’m exhausted.

My bf worked n then went to the gym. I offered to order dinner but he said he’d cook.. now he’s home and seen the dishes aren’t done so now he doesn’t want to cook and shook his head at me. Now I feel crappy cuz I’m over thinking what hes probably saying about me to himself..

Wearing her will be difficult w my back pain and she’s heavy af 😂 so any advice or tips is needed ! Please and thank you

Park bullies.

So my son is 2, he will be three at the end of this month he looks older than he is he is taller than most his age yes. With this being said he has been home with me and I do take him to the park daily , my son honestly always wants to play with everybody he’s the sweetest kid ever seriously. But there are days when there’s a kid or two he comes into contact with who are just mean and they do tend to be older or maybe the same age. Mean as in taking away a rock he found literally grabbing it out of his hands running away and throws it in a bush so he can’t find it … the occasional shove or push that leads to me intervening because wtf are u doing … all this gives me anxiety with taking him to the park or even knowing if we go it may happen. I’m laying in bed with all these thoughts and my heart hurts for him because he simply is too young to understand let alone defend himself. Another example this little girl she was younger she pushed him cause she wanted the swing but the difference is mom was right there saw and apologized immediately.. he did cry and I did comfort him and console him also letting him know she’s younger and doesn’t know any better she is still learning. I told him to not let anyone hit him because it isn’t ok. But again my heart just hurts for him. He’s so innocent and pure and some of these kids are straight up bullies it’s disgusting and disturbing… Am I the only one who feels this way nd do you have any kind of tips on this ?
