Husbands
I be missing my husband all day and the minute he walks in the house I can’t stand him. WHY? Can someone explain the science behind this cos it ruins the rest of the evening as well as any plans we’d made.

Because we like the idea of them but in reality when they come home they disrupt the energy. We also expect some of the load to be taken and 9 times out of 10 we just end up doing more when they’re home. Might just be me 😂
Im sorry this post just made me laugh because I'm exactly the same!! 🤣
I miss him all day but the minute he gets home im annoyed 🙈
😂 Me! 🤣 I think it's consoling to realise there's a lot of us in this boat 😂
I read a blog one time and it says that the feeling is common
And be from the fact he doesn’t actually being peace that you were hoping he brings home
He just become someone else you have to take care of instead of someone who wants to take care of yall
And I know that’s how I feel around mine so maybe that’s true for you too
Im really starting to wonder whether its the start of the end :( i feel like nothing i do is good enough , hes always in a mood, he always thinks the house is a mess and he gets annoyed becasue the kids winge :( feel like it would be easier on my own x
I also put himself in his shoes and feel like he could drift away from me eventually cos he comes home to me moody all the time and ofc after a full day of working no one would want that? But then it’s because of him! But he won’t get that. Aaaaaargh

Removing screen time
Hey so we’ve now gotten to the point with my almost 2yr old that the tv is on all day and when it isn’t on he will have full blown meltdowns if I don’t turn it on for him, we’re also dealing with a lot of behavioural issues and whilst he is suspected autistic which would explain quite a lot of it I do feel that the screen time may be contributing so I’m planning on removing all screens for a while and then slowly re introducing in more controlled ways (obviously if behaviour goes down hill again it will be removed again) and I’m just hoping to hear from other parents that have done this how did it go and when did the meltdowns stop? x

Terrible twos!
We’ve only been 2 for 1 month and let me tell you it’s scary! We were at a kids play place and kids are running around playing well my son made a friend with a little girl and they were running and out of nowhere he goes up to this random lady nd was jumping and kinda hitting her legs. I immediately ran, apologized and told my son that’s not nice and we don’t do that and removed him from the area. Then he doesn’t listen when we call him especially at home for diaper changes and baths. Idk what to do in the moment or at all really. I feel like telling him nice hands and all that doesn’t work no matter how many times I do it. Do I put him in timeouts, do I take away toys, do I let him cry it out sometimes? Honestly I need honest advice here

Resentment struggles
So I think me and my husband are caught up in a resentment battle. He works long hours in a stressful job while I’m on maternity leave. We have a 2.5 year old and a 7 month old. I breastfeed and the new quote has been “you get a rest all the time and when you breastfeed it’s easy you get to switch off”. I’m getting up 3 times a night on average while he sleeps through and I’m shattered. I’ve also been getting comments like “you’re getting forgetful and not getting anything done”. I seem to have a list as long as my arm plus carrying the mental load , doing the cooking, thinking about what meals next for my 7 month old to try as well as playing and spending quality time with them. I understand he’s stressed at work but these comments are unhelpful and feel we’re just getting resentful of the other person. Anyone else in this boat/ am I being unreasonable?
