Preschool

My son goes to the nursery from 2 years now
And suddenly they told me he is being physical today .
And when they said stop he stopped
What does that mean is it okay
Are they just informing and keeping us updated
Do they inform everyone about the day of their children

I feel broken

My BD came in the room while I was at work (I work at home) today and said he’s going to his friends house to get some weed. I didn’t think anything of it. I got off and notice he still wasn’t back. It was like 2.5 hrs later. Something told me to call him and he didn’t answer. I called him like 2-3 more times. He still didn’t. Which is weird. Something else told me to check his call log. I looked up some of the numbers from the last few days and they were connected to prostitutes. I was sick! I was so mad. These were from Tuesday! Then when he came back something told me to look again and it updated to more recent calls and there was one right after he left the house. I felt so sick to my stomach! Like Jesus. If you want to do that be alone and don’t endanger my health! He then got mad when I brought it to him and fought my 18 yr old son and I. I have the biggest headache and don’t even want to tell anyone I know so I’m venting here.

Lost my shirt and had a meltdown

Today started out completely fine, and then somehow I just completely snapped. My 12-month-old refused to nap for TWO HOURS, and I was with her the entire time. Eventually I gave up trying to get her to sleep and just lay there exhausted while she climbed all over me. My husband still wasn’t home from work, and when he finally got home, I left without even saying goodbye because I desperately needed to get out for a minute. I went to get fast food, thinking I’d come back and we could all eat together. I was gone maybe 30 minutes, and when I came back, my husband had gotten her to sleep on his chest, but he hadn’t changed her diaper, made dinner, or really done anything else. I know he got her to sleep, but in that moment I just felt like, “So I’m still responsible for everything?”

And I completely lost it. I yelled in front of my baby, and I feel awful about that. I’m with her basically every second of every day, and I feel like I never get to be alone or completely “off.” Afterward I ended up binge-eating and drank almost half a gallon of tea, and now my stomach hurts terribly. I’m honestly embarrassed by the whole thing because just this morning everything was fine. I don’t even know what happened to me, it felt like I suddenly hit a wall and had absolutely nothing left. I feel terribly guilty because my baby isn’t even a difficult one, the main problem is that I don’t have a village whatsoever.

Has anyone else ever had a day where you went from feeling completely fine to just being done? What did it look like for you?

How do you get your spouse to help with chores?

My partner has never been great with helping around the house. But before LO arrived, he at least did some things unprompted but now that's out the window. Plus everything is messier in general having a baby around!

Nowadays I think he doesn't know how to balance his time between working, watching little one to give me a break or do house bits, having his gaming time to relax, and doing his fair share of chores.

No judgment please - I don't even care about having to make a list but that hasn't been working as he isn't doing it often enough, just "when he remembers" or he doesn't think its to a standard that needs doing yet.

Has anyone used any apps that help/ the 20 minute rule/ a chores chart and what it includes or looks like.

I just want to stop having the same argument over and over, its exhausting!

disney+ sucks??

Blue collar husbands

Mamas with blue collar husbands, how are yall navigating not getting frustrated with your husband working long hours?? My husband is working 12 hour days Monday-Friday, sometimes Saturdays. I’m a first time mom and I’m staying home with our little one, but I’m really struggling with feeling like I’m parenting alone. This isn’t the hours that his job had told him when he was hired but I feel like they’re forcing him to have no work life balance. I know it’s not his fault but man am I struggling with it.

Massive nursery shortage

Anyone else not got a nursery spot? I’ve been on the wait list for a May 27 spot since the beginning of the year and no hope. I’m on 3 wait lists and also childminder wait lists too.

Since the funding came in it’s gone crazy
