Should I be annoyed
My 3 year olds parent and child swimming class got moved to this evening (usually I take her on Saturday) anyway her dad is off work today and my period suddenly started extremely heavy so I asked if he could take her for me (explained why) he said absolutely not he'll take her to another pool not that one (even though he CAN take her and she wanted him too) he took her to this class when she was 1 year old for 1 lesson anyway...
I was royally pissed.
So off I take her and hope as normal a tampon does the job đź« đź« đź«
He had no idea the effort a woman has to go to every week shaving worrying about period etc every 4 weeks. Forget I thought he might do me a favour

Why did he not want to take her to that pool specifically? Does he have an issue with the venue itself, the teacher, the class or something else?
No. He said he doesn't want to do it and it's not up for discussion. I and we don't know anyone there or the teacher as it's all new
He specially won't put himself in any situation he finds slightly awkward for his daughter
What’s awkward about taking your child swimming, for a parent/child swim lesson where everyone is there to do the same thing - am I missing something here?
Does he not feel body confident in his swimwear or something?
If he was off work today and you are clearly ill and suffering, I’m not understanding why he wouldn’t just take your child swimming? Hardly putting him out to some great extent.🙄 Is he usually such a selfish git?
“Not up for discussion” now that would piss me off. Especially over something so ridiculous like taking your child to their swimming lesson.
I explained to him like it's not a group parents have time to talk, I talked to no one everyone took their kids swimming and left.
His no issue being in trunks etc. It's simply slightly out of his comfort zone something he isn't used too (I have to constantly push myself out of my comfort zone as mum) and he also doesn't care to do things I ask
This is why I am single
I asked him to have my daughter one morning to help me months and months in and he stood there telling me no, N + O spells no đź«
I should expect nothing

My husband just told me he is embarrassed by me
We are on holiday with my 1 year old baby! I was washing few things outside on the bathroom which is outdoor, and he kept calling me because the baby was crying! I shouted and said “omg why instead of you shouting at me you do something to keep your baby calm” he grabbed me through my arm and started shouting “ why are you always shouting! I am constantly embarrassed by you!” He said some many hurtful things that it’s not even worth mentioned! But the thing is, I feel he is a good guy but he actually doesn’t love me! So he feels frustrated! I just don’t know how I will start my life over! Just for context, we do not fight all the time! We do get along pretty well! But when he is frustrated I feel he liberates his hidden hatred! I just don’t know what to do! I know tnrw he will say sorry that he loves me bla bla!

Partner cheated on me - next steps?
Has anyone been cheated on and stayed and things got better?
My partner cheated on me last night. She came home really late and seemed a bit flighty, after a lengthy conversation she explained that a few drinks led from one thing to another and it all “just happened”. And if it was a kiss maybe I could get past it, but it was sex and I’m struggling.
I don’t want to make rash decisions and leave her but I’m struggling to process it all. I have 3 kids who rely on me so I don’t get a chance to grieve my relationship, I just have to carry on and I have no friends to tell. She’s gone to her friends house for a few days to give me space and I’ve had a headache and nausea that’s not shifted. I’m just really heartbroken rn and maybe it would be easy to move on if she was horrible but she’s not, she’s amazing with our kids, she’s always done everything for me and I just don’t know where to go from here.
I don’t want to hear that I should leave her, I want to hear from people who have gone through this and things eventually got better

Is this worth reporting or am I overthinking it?
My daughter has a shared bus stop. There’s another little girl at the stop, and I’d like to talk about what I witnessed this morning and if this is something you’d report.
Today, I witnessed the mom search her daughter’s back pack at the bus stop and confiscated a hairbrush. She told her daughter school is not a fashion show and she’s not allowed to brush her hair. The little girls hair is matted and she told her mom the teacher could fix it and asked her to bring a brush, so the mom went off the wall that she’s going to get the teacher fired and open a lawsuit against the school for inappropriately touching her child without consent. Her daughter asked if she could please just brush her hair so the other girls didn’t say she looked scruffy, and mom told her once again school is about learning and not a fashion show. She then said a he’d make her a hair appointment to cut it all off so they didn’t have to worry about the matting, but the girl was crying she just wanted to brush it out and have long pretty hair. Her mom was very angry and told her again it’s not a fashion show. She got on the bus crying, with no hair brush and it was left untouched.
I’ve seen other small things before, like not letting her take her backpack to school and the little girl crying that she’d get in trouble for not having it and the man (not sure if it’s her dad) telling her it’s her fault, even though they had plenty of time to go back for the backpack.
I mean I know people parent differently, but this just felt cruel. Brushing your hair is about hygiene not fashion. Am i overreacting?

Frustrated
Frustrated and venting. Not looking for the standard “divorce him” comment.
Told my husband sorry for blaming him for something and he said “you’re always wrong” with such smug conviction. Which pissed me off and makes me not want to do a damn thing for him.
I have a lot of other things I could say but for respect to God I won’t 🙄.
Just mad and didn’t want to hold this one in.

Relationship problems
My fiancé has told me twice now he doesn't think I'm doing a good enough job or enough as a mom and I've disappointed him. Our son is 5 weeks old tomorrow. His main complaint is that I don't seem happy enough when he gets home from work and I act like spending all day raising our son is a chore and he would like time to relax after work instead of me immediately asking him to do something or "bombarding him as soon as he walks in the door". I handle all the night feedings, he's done it twice since he was born to let me sleep, and he's gotten up with him in the morning twice. He was upset with me on Saturday for asking him to get up with him at 8:30 so I could sleep in because he wanted just one day to sleep in. I understand his frustration but I don't think I deserved that. I'm a first time mom, I'm still figuring this all out, and I just had a c-section 5 weeks ago, and I havent slept more than 3 hours straight since he was born because even on the nights he gets up with him I have to pump. I am excited when he gets home from work because I have a person to talk to and someone to share this with. I see why he's frustrated but I don't think he's giving me enough grace or putting himself in my perspective. He says I feel like a stranger to him now, he's disappointed, and he's not sure he wants to marry me anymore. I don't know what to do.

How to get my son to stop watching tv?
My son is 2. I’m solo parenting. I work 9-5 remote. When he wakes up from his nap around 2-3pm I struggle to keep him entertained until I finish my shift so end up putting the tv on. He now is getting upset when I turn it off and is now watching it longer than I’d like him to. He is watching on average 2 hours a day when I’d prefer him to watch less than 1 hour as per guidelines. Any at home activities I can set up for him? Pls recommend!!! I’m desperate!!!!
