struggling with solids

my girl is 7 months and is barely eating solids, she hates it 😭 she hates the texture of purées and spits everything out (sometimes we get lucky and get a few spoonfuls down), i’m so nervous for BLW but she does a bit better with it than purées. but still throws everything on the ground. she ends up more full when i force feed her puree bc i know she’s getting it in her belly vs with BLW it’s one bite and the rest on the floor. i’m just so exhausted and i honestly am not a fan of this stage with babies lol the floor and walls are a mess and it’s so stressful. my 1st baby ate literally everything but my feb girl is struggling! anyone else? 😭

How would you feel if your husband was stealing food for his family?

So my family is low income and on a tight budget. We often only buy things on sale or use the very little government assistance we have which really doesn’t help that much. And I found out my husband has been stealing things like meat and fish because they are the most expensive things we buy and he wants lower our grocery bill. He’s also started to steal other miscellaneous food items to cut our bill. I understand he’s doing it to feed his family but I’m sooo scared he’s going to get in trouble 😭

Partners

I just need someone to tell me I’m not losing my shit!!
So my boyfriend, father of my child recently we’re just really on top of each other arguing all the time over the smallest things and it feels like we’re living in a competition rather than being in a team if I’m tired he’s 10 times more tired he gets to go out as on when he wants whenever he wants comes and goes as he pleases, the money situation isn’t great either I was a self-employed hairdresser so I don’t get maternity pay so I’m quite heavily relying on him and I’ve never felt so low from going being self-employed having as much money as I possibly need never having to ask anyone for money to having to rely on someone having to ask to buy basic things that I wouldn’t even think twice about buying and then getting it thrown back in my face in any slight little argument, constantly being told to get up and go back to work being called lazy on a daily basis when I’m home raising is daughter who’s only 5 months old. I’m obviously getting very upset and not really wanting to voice it to him because then when I do everything just gets turned back round onto him rather than listening to me and how I feel everything is always about him. Are all men this selfish or do I need to put my big girl pants on and leave

Annoyed at partner

Would love some opinions. My husband has been commenting this evening about how tired and achy he is feeling, we have both been a little ill the last few days. this in itself doesn’t annoy me too much because I can appreciate that I have looked after our 4 month old all day and he has been out working all day. What annoys me is the following-
1. He came home after work and it was nearly an hour and a half before he finally came downstairs and took over care of our daughter. In the time he was just chilling I did a whole feed and two nappy changes plus general care.
2. He says he’s so tired knowing full well that he will have a decent night sleep tonight and I will be the one getting up to do feed and changes throughout the night etc …which irritates me as it feels like a real lack of awareness for what is ahead for me
3. Tomorrow (Saturday) he is going to watch his team play football with his dad so I will be on my own looking after baby most of the day. He made a joking comment about how he’s so tired that when he gets back from football tomorrow he will need to sleep the rest of the weekend …again I feel a complete lack of awareness on his part and appreciation for how I am feeling and how exhausted I am , plus the fact that I never feel like I get time to myself or time to do things I like the way he does
Am I being too sensitive? Should I say anything?

Clingy toddler while pregnant

I’m a SAHM and pregnant with a clingy toddler all day and then when my fiance comes home he still don’t want his dad like ugh it’s one of those days where I want my alone time 😩 and I’m on my last week of the second trimester and the only type of alone time I get is cleaning the kitchen and my almost 3 year old don’t go to sleep till 12.

Is he wrong or am I?

My partner told me we’re tight on money right now because of some things going poorly with business which is fate.

However, I needed some basic things like food and mouse traps because we have a mice infestation in our garage which is attached to our house so I’m scared they’ll get in.

Anywho, he got upset with me and said “I think you just buy stuff at the store that you don’t need because you have nothing else to do” …………..so because I’m a SAHM he thinks I have nothing to do and all I ever but is basic things we need and make some makeup sometimes if he lets me. My clothes are going bad, my things are literally RATTY because I need new ones and I’m ALWAYS BUSY as a SAHM. So idk why he’s so comfortable telling me I just buy shit for the hell if it when he was literally flirty with this girl at a sweet shoppe and spent $30 on sweets just for him AFTER he told me we need to save money………..

8 month old constantly having meltdowns

Hey everyone! My son just turned 8 months old yesterday. For about a week now he is just constantly having meltdowns. Diaper changes? Meltdown. Clothes? Meltdown. Bath time or bed time? Meltdown. Mama puts him down for a second? Meltdown. I know he’s teething. I know it’s developmental as well… but HOW ARE WE MAKING IT THROUGH???
I give him toys he’s never seen during diaper changes. Doesn’t work most of the time. He still wants to roll and be chaotic. He’s been crawling for 2 months now and that has only made changes worse.

I feel like I’m FAILING. I feel like he just hates me all of a sudden. I have to put him somewhere safe and walk away minimum 5 times a day. I’m a stay at home mom. No friends or family near us. I’m struggling so bad. I get angry and I just leave the area and cry. I’m so defeated.
