Vent - having another kid
Friends, family, STRANGERS, everyone says I should have another one. Dont leave my 4 yo as an only child. Give my husband the boy. I have to have more than one. The age gap is too big already. What am I waiting for..
In case it didnt cross your tiny mind, ive been trying for a year already and am not falling pregnant. Its pissing me off and I already cry about it. Thanks. That is all

When they say that, consider responding with "we've been trying for a year already and sadly it hasn't happened yet" is none their business but also that would make it awkward and very quickly they will stop asking
š¤£š¤£ people really need to mind their own buisness i hate when people ask when youll have another, i gave birth almost 6 months ago and have a 2 year old and people ask when im having a 3rd š my 2nd wasnt even planned i was happy with one š
But honestly like sylvia said above if youre comftable telling them then it makes it awkward and teaches them not to ask people again
Hope you get the news you want soon š

Preschool/prek ?
If you are a SAHM, do you send your 2-3 year old to preschool? Iām genuinely confused because people keep asking me why my not even 3 year old isnāt in preschool yet. While I was working she was in āearly preschoolā which was literally just daycare. I also keep seeing social media posts of 2 and 3 year olds going to āpreschool.ā I am a SAHM now, why would I willingly send my 2 year old to daycare and pay money for that, and lose the precious time we have together before she starts school. She has other opportunities to socialize and she is incredibly smart! Maybe societal expectations are changing but my siblings and I didnāt start preschool until 4 and it was only a half day (and free through our public school!) Isnāt it best for our babies to be home with us if possible?
Someone tell me Iām not crazy?! š

Parenting responsibilities
As a stay at home mom I understand that my job is mainly house chores and childcare when heās working but I asked him to help with giving our son a bath and he started complaining about how thatās my job and how Iām so lucky to be a stay at home mom and I need to stop complaining. I feel terribly guilty and bad when he brings that up. Of course Iām extremely lucky and blessed to be a stay at home mom but that doesnāt mean that some days or weeks are just hard. I feel weak for asking for help and I donāt think I should feel like that. These are his kids too and I shouldnāt have to ask him to just be a parent. Idk am I in the wrong?
I even told him he doesnāt need to do anything at home like laundry, cooking, cleaning because I understand thatās my duty at home. Maybe Iām the one whoās wrong idk.
Then when I try to talk to him about me struggling heāll tell me just wait until you start working then youāll regret ever complaining. But if I work Iāll still be coming home after a long work day to still cook, clean, and take care of the kids.

Anyone else feel a bit stuck? š„²
Iāve come to the decision that I really am not a patient person š Iām feeling a bit stuck at the moment. My boy is 6 months old, has had really bad reflux from the beginning, is currently not interested in food, is breastfed and wonāt take a bottle, cosleeps because the crib is a big no no. The list could go on! He is very hard work and I know babies arenāt easy but this is another level and feel like I definitely have it harder than others especially when you see people say their baby sleeps great and all the other things
