Help??
Hiya ladies, I’m stuck at the moment I don’t know what to do. This morning i took a tumble down the stairs in my flat, gone to a&e and am now on crutches in a lot of pain. Thankfully i didn’t have my little one but still quite a scare as that could have happened.
I now don’t know what to do. My mothers offered for me to stay at hers for a couple of days until I can manage the pain and to help me do little things such as make and sterilise bottles etc. My partner doesn’t want to stay at my mums, but he’s at work and I will be struggling to do everything on my own. What do I do?

Can she come and stay at yours? Or do a day shift with you - but hubby HAS to pick up the afternoon and evening workload? X
I would just go to moms
It sounds to me like you could do with some rest and therefore if it was me I would accept the help.
Mums!
Just go, leave him behind
If he doesn’t want to stay that’s fine but surely he could drop you in the mornings and pick you up after work? And if that’s not an option then you should stay with your mum because tough shit you need the help and it’s not about what he wants right now xx
I just had my appendix out last week and myself and our little one moved to my parents for the week as I was on painkillers and didn't think I would manage whilst he was at work. I was right and husband understood because he knows I wouldn't have rested and knew my mum would make me. Its been great and he has come today to bring us home x

Struggling
All I see online or from friends is that they can’t put their babies down as they are clingers and constantly want their mums,
My baby is 8 weeks and when I try and comfort him he fusses until I put him down making me feel like I’m not his safe place or he even likes me and it’s making me feel like a useless mess

Potty training boys
Anyone have tips for boys on the potty. My Lb is 14m and I’ve been trying to get him to use the potty since about 11m, he hates it and only sat fully clothed but we’re now getting somewhere and he will sit on the toilet but he will always stand and sit on it backwards?
My first was pooping on the toilet only from 1y and I would like the same for him but his poops arent routine he just goes when he goes and he’s yet to even wee on the toilet so just looking to see if boys are any different with toilet training and if there’s any tips to give :)

AIBU asking my husband to take one day off work
My husband is quite "high-up" at work and is constantly in important meetings and high pressure situations. However, our 3 month old has caught his first cold and it's been incredibly hard for me. He on the other hand is very calm about the situation, says it's just a cold and that it'll pass.
To give a full picture- I am currently on mat leave, our baby has been very unsettled for the past few days and it's beginning to get to me. I am severely sleep deprived (I try not to wake my husband because he works full time and I breastfeed)
It got to a point where I completely lost it at my husband yesterday because I had asked him whether he could please take one day off work to support me with the baby because I genuinely need a break.
He told me that it's a very busy and important time at work and that it would not be possible for him to take one day.
I am a solicitor myself and I don't agree with him at all. Had the roles been reversed, I would've taken the day off without hesitation.I don't expect him to drop everything every time our baby gets a cold but I am a first time mum and our baby is barely 3 months old. It has been very hard for me to deal with and I am at breaking point.
We don't have support or family nearby and I feel like I have noone to talk to. I just need his support for one day so I can get myself back on track. Am I being unreasonable here? I feel so alone in dealing with this.
