Going off my partner

Myself and my partner have been together just over 6 years and we have 3 kids together but we have known each other for a lot longer. Just lately everything he says and does just annoys me! Like I can tell the kids off about something and then he could tell them the next day and I’m just instantly irritated. We have had a lot of different issues over the years but I really do feel like I’m massively going off him! Anyone been through the same? Anyone got any advice 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yep absolutely feel exactly the same atm. Been together 8 years got 2 kids and I just feel like I’d be better off in my own (he works so much I may as well be anyway). But then he’s here everything he does annoys me I can’t even make conversation with him some days, I have no idea how to bring the spark back as we have no childcare to go on a date night or anything and at this point I’m not even sure it can be brought back 🙈

We’re in the same situation. We’ve only been together 4 years but we’ve dealt with a lot in that time and have a child and two losses, one stillborn and one miscarriage but he works a lot more so since it’s been harvest and it’s just taking a toll on us. We argue over the stupidest things sometimes but when he gets home we don’t talk. Our son still co sleeps from around 11pm so we don’t get much to ourselves especially if he’s up late we don’t do anything together, he doesn’t ever want to do anything.
I’m basically a single parent and have been for the whole year and a half our child’s been born. He doesn’t contribute to anything to help apart from bills but I do it all alone the hands on stuff. He moans when I don’t want sex like a child but doesn’t understand I’m stressed and touched out aswell. Sometimes I think I’d be happier alone, with no one to answer to and to just be able to do what I like.

A child someone else birthed 37 years ago and now I am being forced to raise

It finally happened, my husband turned into my third child after my second son was born. There’s no other way to go about it.
If one bit of admiration was left, it is definitely out of the window now. I can’t even think about being intimate with him again without getting nauseous.
I’m 3 months PP, and this manchild has been making my life so much harder. He got 12 weeks paternity leave to catch-up on sleep, while I struggled with the C-section recovery and newborn, and he half ass-d with the toddler. Mind you, with the toddler in daycare FT, this man would sleep whenever newborn and I would sleep, and proceed to sleep in another room through the night so we wouldn’t keep waking him up.
Like, what?! In what world is he living on? Am I missing something?
Anyone else having this experience? I just feel like I need to drop him, because aside from financial, the support just isn’t there.

Say what..!

My child has been in nursery 4 days a week since they were 8 months old , they are now almost 4 Doing all the math their entire fees would be a down payment on a small house 😱£1,500 a month 12 months in a year over 3 years

Fish fingers under 1?

Would you give / have you given your baby shop bought fish fingers under the age of 1? I know it shouldn’t be a first choice and would be better to make my own , but as there is less than 0.2g salt in a Birds Eye fish finger and the ingredients are relatively simple, I assume every so often is fine?

I sometimes make them for my 3 YO for a quick dinner and would be easier to not have to do something else for the baby!

Extreme Boy Moms

This might be an unpopular opinion to post on the Boy Moms group. I think it’s inappropriate to rearrange one’s identity around being a boy mom.

For example, my MIL came to me when I was 24 hours postpartum. She said “you are so lucky to be a boy mom. Boys are so much closer to their mothers!” I understand the sentiment, but this should not be shared out loud. Especially when this woman has a daughter. However, she is completely enmeshed with my husband. She keeps on wearing my husband’s clothings from 10 yrs ago(college years) when she comes to visit. When my husband confronts her and ask her to stop wearing clothes he abandoned at the family home. She says “but it’s warm!” To me, when boy moms take it to the extreme like my MIL. I just want to call out the emotional incest bs I see. 🤮
