Venting session

So my little one is teething. She’s getting two more teeth. Well I decided to keep her home today because you can tell she’s not feeling the best.

Yet my husband thinks I’m crazy for keeping her home.
My anxiety is so damn high because I feel like I’m failing at being a mom, a wife and an employee

Was your kindergartner this ready??

Could your child do half this list? Or the entire list or very few?

Husband Met A Prostitute

I found out my I guess ex husband went to see a prostitute and had drinks with her. He claimed he talked about me … I would be an idiot to believe that’s all they did.

I told him to leave the home for a day. I kicked him out before when he disrespected me. This time, he didn’t come back. And I think it’s good he didn’t but my chest still hurts from it all. I just had my twins August 16th.. im like 40 days post partum or something like that. He left his expensive e-bike charger here. Idk how he’s working if he can’t charge his bike. It’s been four days since he left. I feel like he’s probably with someone right now. I mean it didn’t take that long for him to have sex w me when we first met. He even told me before he’d have sex with a new person to get over me. “He knows this way works.” My chest hurt but I try not to think about it too long for the twins sake. They need my healthy mind. I let some tears fall but I know not to let my chest sink too much. I really wanted a family. I didn’t want to be a single mom — but meeting with a prostitute?? How could I ever forgive that. And then he said she was a friend. Why would you save your friends name as prostitute, block her, and then delete the messages between you two. It all hurts so much. Would anyone want to play iMessage games or talk about life plans or something as a distraction? Wtf am I supposed to do. I just keep going one hour at a time. There’s only so much TikTok to distract me from my heart being crushed.

Would this upset you?

My boyfriend told me tonight that he thinks his life has gone down hill since 25. He’s 29 currently, we’ve known each other for 11 years but only got together 3 years ago when he was 26, our daughter was born in December when he was 28.

Today was my 25th birthday, long story short it was an awful day. Only my mom and my sister acknowledged it was my birthday, I couldn't leave the house because my car is currently broken and my boyfriend is prepping for harvest so he wasn't home until really late.

He asked me how it felt to be 25 and I said it was okay, he said “good, because it only goes downhill from here” so I said “do you really think your life has gone down hill since you were 25” because I thought it must have been a joke.

But no he was dead serious, he then explained to me that not just 25 he thinks his life has gotten worse since he was 23. Which honestly hurt because we got together and our amazing daughter being born has happened since his life ‘got worse’.

Am i being unreasonable

Am i being unreasonable? My partner has a cold, and didnt work yesterday, so i expected him to help with the baby so i could have an hour or two off (this was after he slept in till 1pm) he thinks that as hes the one who is ill i shouldnt be doing less than what i would on a normal day when hes at work so i shouldnt ask him to help, which i said i would be okay with if thats the same for when im ill, that i get to do nothing and rest, which is obviously not going to be the case and he basically said as much

He also believes if hes too ill to work hes too ill to look after the baby, which i dont agree with because she has to be looked after regardless if one or both of us is ill

If it was a serious illness it would be different, but its a cold

Please be honest if you think im unreasonable because i am on my period so maybe im over reacting a bit but just want advice

Just a vent

I hate to admit but I’m really struggling with my 11 month old little boy at the moment 😓
Everything seems to be a problem in his eyes, take something away he shouldn’t be playing with? Screams and throws a tantrum. Nappy change? Absolute carnage. Sleeping through the night? I wish, he has me up every 2 hours it feels like and we co sleep just to save my sanity. He wants to be held but also hates being restricted. It’s like I can never keep him happy for more than 5 minutes 🥲
His dad also works nights so I get no help really except on a weekend and even then it’s minimal.
I love him to death and when he’s happy and chatty it’s the most precious feeling but he is just so cranky and I find myself losing patience with him at times which of course turns into massive guilt.
I just needed to get it off my chest and see if anyone else resonates with this stage 😓🥲

WWYD?

Heya!
So I was at the park after school with my small children .. there was another mom I know there and we were chatting . She said to me “ I actually don’t know what to do right now , she’s not with me “
She was referring to the only other child ( besides mine and hers) at the park . She said she is usually at the park with her older brother but not today . She asked her when her mom is coming and she said “ I don’t know she said she would be a while “
This girl is 7 years old , left at the playground alone for an hour and a half
Her mom came and just pulled up on the road approximately 150 ft away and just honked for her to come ..
1. What would you do as the parent she confided in ( parent didn’t even know the child until today )
2. What would you do as me the bystander
3. Would you do this to your child ?

Mind blown .

Maybe I’m wrong .

Fill me in .
