Grateful and guilty

I have been back to work for a little over a month now. I’m a caregiver, and with one of my private clients who I was working with while pregnant, I’ve been able to bring my 4.5 m/o daughter. I work for this client 3x a week (and work for a company over the weekend besides). I am so very grateful to be able to take my daughter to work with me!!!

However, I also feel guilty for both my daughter and the client. I feel like I interrupt my daughter’s mornings by getting her ready and taking her away from home to somewhere else (especially before she’s had a chance to wake on her own time) and I feel like she gets overstimulated. As well, the client has dementia (her family set the caregiving deal up), and she’s very sweet but getting more overwhelmed as her dementia progresses. While my daughter is very chill, she tends to be more fussy when I’m at work (overstimulated and then fights sleep, etc), and while the client loves her and gets excited to see her, she can get overwhelmed in turn by my daughter’s fussiness.
I guess I’m just venting. This is such a great opportunity and I’m also wondering about its sustainability in the long run. I just feel like I’m making my daughter do something she doesn’t want to do.

Can I get a script for this?? My son talks about his penis

I don't consider this sensitive topic but I toggled it on anyway just in case

My son woke up in the morning and usually take off his diaper wipe him down and put on his underwear

Yesterday morning he said look Mommy my penis is big because he had a morning erection I guess is what it was

And I said yes your body changes throughout the day and that's good noticing. Your body is healthy and strong

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I'M SUPPOSED TO SAY?!!!! LOL.

I am a single mom and sometimes I cry thinking I have to do it all by myself.. I have no idea where to bring this topic to

I'm worried and afraid that when the time comes I won't have the right perspective to respond like I'm supposed to

I'm open to ideas please or just a mindset for this kind of thing. I think I did okay but I don't always know what to say

I am the worst mom ever?

I have been giving my baby chicken liver and apple pate! This is literally his favourite! He is 10 months old now. I started since he was 7-8 months. The problem, I have more than 1-2 teaspoon per week. I tend to cook this once a week he has been having 2 ounces easily per week. I was reading about vitamin A Toxicity and I am worried that I was poisoning my son! 🥺

Finance issues

Is it ok to ask for child maintenance from my husband even if we live together etc…

My husband earns more than me, he pays our biggest bill but I still pay tons of bills to, including childcare all food shopping and if we go anywhere or do anything. I keep asking for him to contribute that I’m constantly struggling to cover everything but he just makes up and excuse or lies about his money or bills. He doesn’t even pay the bills on time or just doesn’t pay, I constantly have to bail him out and never get it all back. he’s lying again about money and it just seems like my money is the family money and his money is his to do what he wants. I brought it up with him again this week and he told me he wasn’t contributing anything towards summer break as I choose to take the children out so I should cover the cost. He constantly pays for nothing and everything falls on me, I can never just have my money I have to make sure it covers everything. I just want him to contribute towards our children but he doesn’t pay for clothes toys outings nothing I’ve had enough
We’re trying to save for a house but everyone I ask him to save any money for this he tells me I’m controlling him

Does it get better?

My son is 2 months and it’s just been really hard I feel like I have no break and when I ask for help I feel like I’m just inconveniencing everyone and I’m so beyond stressed from other things that my body hurts and feels weak and I always have headaches, no matter how much I rest I feel like I can barely hold my son just to burp him and yes I do have a husband but he’s constantly working and is barely even home and he can’t take off but does it get better when they get older?

Lustful husband

Hi guys, I’ve got two kiddos a two year old and a 2 month old. My husband has always struggled with watching things he shouldn’t be. I find out (after asking and asking because I know he’s lying) cry and forgive because I love this man with everything in my soul. He apologizes, says it’ll never happen again and it does. Well when I had my two year old he fell into it again and so this time I begged him not to do it this time postpartum and it’s happened twice. Something in me broke this time, I’m agitated, I’m withdrawn, I feel almost done? Is there any fixing it or is it time to wipe my hands. I’m a stay at home mom as well so I’d have to navigate that.

Regret having a child

I have recently become the only caretakers for my child I live in a country with no family or friends recently been divorced and the pressure of just being the only caregiver for my son has been driving me insane I’m not able to do anything or get anything done ex-husband refuses to help out with 8 month old baby I have to do everything by myself. I don’t have a job depend on him financially he’s been really difficult refusing to help out. I feel like I’m slowly losing myself and drowning in the sorrow of motherhood with no financial stability living in a very small Shered apartment.
