Vacuum help!

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a vacuum that’s preferably under $250 and will last a while? Or what about like an $80 and a roomba type? Or a cheap one for the carpet and a wet dry? Idk I’ve never been able to do anything other than free or cheap so I want something I’ll love that lasts a while and that won’t push my bipolar/adhd into executive dysfunction instead of using them! Thanks everyone

Just looking for support

Hi everyone! I’m a 20yo mom to a beautiful baby 8month baby girl. My world seems to have been shattered last night when I saw these deleted messages to his ex who he was with before me on my fiancés phone this morning (he has sent them, deleted it, and then silenced the convo so no notifications would come up). He said he was drunk and doesn’t even recall sending that (like that’s any better lmao). We’ve had issues bc of his following and liking habits of certain kinds of content on tiktok but this is beyond what I would have expected. I’m absolutely gutted and I feel like my world just ended. I hate how I wasn’t enough for him, I haven’t even been able to look at myself properly after seeing his likes and saves and now this has be disgusted in myself. I have bpd and the stress is giving me an endometriosis flare right now, I don’t have friends I can talk to. I’m making this post so I can at least pretend to talk to someone who will listen. Thank you for reading 🩷 edit: he’s been playing video games the whole night, literally 0 mention of what happened or our conversation lmao

MIL buying my child gifts I mentioned getting

Hello, I just want opinions on whether how I’m feeling is valid or if I’m just overreacting etc. And whether or not I should do anything about it.

So last week I mentioned to my mil the gift I was planning on getting my child for Christmas and what my husband plans to get our child for Christmas.

This week (she cares for our child at ours once a week whilst I work from home) she brings along with her a mini version of what I said I was getting as a Christmas gift and various accessories to go with it that I had also mentioned. I feel a bit odd that she’s brought these toys the week after I mentioned it and as such feel like it’s an attempt to “beat me to it” as now my child’s playing with these items already, they won’t feel new and exciting at Christmas time..

Am I being silly or is it valid to feel a bit uncomfortable about this? I’m not really confident or confrontational enough to mention anything to get myself, so should I mention it to my husband to bring up with her or let it slide? (I don’t want my husband to think I’m talking badly about his mum, I know she generally just cares and loves for our child and wants to spoil them).

Weaning

I have a 4 month 2 weeks baby girl who is watching us now eat every mouthful what age do people start introducing some food ?

Advice needed

I feel like I am at breaking point with my relationship. We’ve been together 3 years, we’re engaged and have a 20 month old together.

However, he does nothing around the house. He doesn’t help with dinner, bath or bed. I WFH 3 days a week and 1 day in the office so my WFH days, our daughter finishes at 1PM and he finishes work at 3PM so the plan was meant to be he would take care of her until I finish work once he’s home but he doesn’t so I have to work after our daughter whilst trying to work, which is difficult with a toddler😂

My problem is, we live an hour and a half away from my family so going back there isn’t really an option as I’d be moving my daughter away from her nursery, which she loves and his family. We currently live with his nan as we were saving for a house and our wedding.

I just don’t know what to do, I can only tell him how I feel so many times and I just feel like I have no one to talk to.

Would you be upset?

So I am upset about 2 things;

My family (parents, my siblings and their partners) went out to dinner last night for my sisters birthday.

My partner and I were sitting at the end and were the first to arrive. My brother and SIL arrived next and were polite but they sat down 2 seats away from us, my brother on my side, my SIL on my son's. One side of the table was a long booth. This is issue one.

During dinner, I was using chopsticks and while I am not bad, I am not profficiant. I asked my partner how he uses chopsticks so well and he responded "because i'm not a retard". I told him I hate that word and he knows it so why did he use it and asked why he called me an r. He didn't respond. This is issue 2.

I am feeling more hurt about what my partner did but am upset in general.

Cheating…

Hey, this is a bit sad and I’m struggling a bit on my own with a newborn, and my partner is being so off and I haven’t seen him in almost a month and I have reason to believe he is cheating and have no one else to talk to about this… I’m just wondering if anyone else is or has been in the same boat? It’s a bit of a lonely and awful boat to be in currently…
