So basically my partner has a sister that lives an hour away and when we have gone I’ve felt really pushed out and left behind I try to insert myself into conversations ect but it doesn’t really do anything and I’m always left to watch my daughter and her daughter while they talk or go for a smoke ect so I stopped going. Today I decided to go but I wanted to go to the park so I wouldn’t feel as left out bc I have something to do and everyone is in the same space and it was agreed upon yesterday now she’s saying she can’t be bothered to go now! Would it be rude of me to go there and just take my daughter to the park or go on a walk without them because all I do is try with her but I get nothing back and I don’t see the point in going if I’m gonna be ignored and be a babysitter.

Absolutely not, I used to do this when my cousins tried this, but if her kid is older make sure she doesn't hear cause it's not her fault and she shouldn't have to be sad bc of something her mom did, or you could always just tell your husband

Honestly, I can understand why you’re feeling fed up with it ❤️ If you’ve already tried to make an effort and every time you go you end up feeling pushed out and basically left to watch the kids while everyone else chats, I’d probably stop wanting to go too.
I actually don’t think it would be rude to still go and take your daughter to the park if that’s what you had agreed on. You’re not doing it to make a point or punish anyone, you just want to spend time with your daughter and actually enjoy the day rather than sitting around feeling awkward.
You could always just say, “That’s okay if you don’t fancy the park anymore, I’m still going to take [daughter] for a walk/play for a bit.” Then you’re not making it into an argument or expecting anyone to come with you.
And honestly, I think it’s okay to stop trying so hard with someone when you feel like you’re getting nothing back. You can still be friendly and make an effort, but you shouldn’t have to constantly fight to feel included. ❤️

Taking your child to the park is a legitimate activity that doesn't need to be sabotaged by an adult who cba. I'd leave them to their relationship if they don't include you and don't bother with the sister at all. Go where the love is xx
My 42 year old husband went out last night for his friends 40th. Its now almost midday and not only is he not home, but hasn't even contacted me. Im 6 months pregnant and we have a 3 year old. He goes over to that friends every friday night fot a few drinks and stays until usually 2. A couple times hes come home at 630 but never this late. Never apologises. But this feels like blatant disrespect. Im starting to suspect cheating too... what do you guys think?

Hi guys. I’ve been feeling really shit. I’m not sure why but recently I’ve been feeling as if though I might not love my husband as much anymore?
He hasn’t exactly done anything terrible. I don’t know, I feel like I hate him most of the time and just want him away from me. And then when I do try and make sure we’re good and put the effort in, that’s when he pisses me off even more; as if he’s giving me a reason not to like him?
We don’t have regular sex if I’m honest, as he doesn’t have that high a sex drive than I do. But even when we do have sex, it’s quite boring??
I understand marriage isn’t a fairy tale and we’ve been married for nearly 5 years, but I just don’t know how to feel right now.
We’ve had a conversation about this, and I guess he tried to reassure me that he does love me and is happy. But idk.
I want to be yearned for and stuff, but I just don’t feel that from him?
Has anyone else been feeling this way at all? What do I do?

These past 3 days especially today. Have been hard. I really need someone that’s not my mom to talk to right now.
My husband has been mad at me for 3 days now. And I don’t know why. I asked and apologized for things I thought it would be.
Today my son hit his face really hard on a table leg. Call doc they said he fine. I’m still going to go see a doc tomorrow just in case. But nothing I do or that has been said to me helping me claim down. My husband will not talk to me about it. And I know once he see it he only going to get more upset with me. I just need a hug and someone to talk to me. I’m a mess right now. And I’m worried like crazy about my baby.

I feel like i can't tell my husband no. I can tell him I don't want to but for some reason it always keeps going and eventually I give up and try to enjoy it as much as i can. Hes not a bad guy but I have a really hard time resisting him when it comes to it. The problem is I am only 25 days postpartum and we've had sex 3 times already. I know my body isn't ready and I've told him as much. All he does is tell me he'll be gentle. Anyways he finished inside yesterday and I have been a nervous wreck. I am not on birth control yet since i haven'tbeen to my 6 week appointment yet. I got pregnant with our current newborn while breastfeeding and not even having 1 period after our toddler. This most recent pregnancy was very hard on me physically and our newborn is dealing with health issues. I am so scared to get pregnant again. I know its not likely that ive ovulated yet since I am breastfeeding still and haven't stopped my postpartum bleeding yet, but i am still stressing out.

How much is everyone's 8 month old eating?
I'm doing a mix of what we eat and pouches but I never know if a full pouch is too much?
Just wondering what everyone else is doing? She has main and then something pudding like e.g fruit or yoghurt. Sometimes maybe a snack or biscuit after. She has this between 5/5.30 and then 7oz at 7.15 for bed
