My daughter barely plays with her toys

She’s very active. Loves climbing, running etc. but I’m having trouble when it comes to her playing with her toys or doing activities. She will play with something for maybe 5 minutes and then gets into something she’s not suppose to.. she’s constantly just makes a mess. She’s 26months and has always been like this ever since she was mobile. I was really hoping it would get better the older she got but it’s just more frustrating. I try to redirect her as much as possible but she doesn’t care. Even when I try doing painting or anything she will do it for 5 minutes then make a mess or just leave. I literally can’t cook or make food sometimes cause she’s just making messes or crying for me. Idk.. I try to rotate her toys. Get new ones. But again the interest doesnt last long before she’s off pulling something off a shelf.

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!

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!!!!

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.

Pet resentment

Can’t believe I’m posting this as I swore it wouldn’t be me. But my baby is 2 weeks tomorrow and I just wish my cat wasn’t here. I wish he could just go in a cat hotel for a few months. I feel like he makes my anxiety 10x worse. He jumped on her highchair whilst she was in it and she has a tiny scratch on her arm. It makes me honestly hate him. Then I feel so terribly guilty, it’s not his fault at all and I think he can sense my energy. Did anyone else get this and when did it go away? I want to love him the way I did asap.

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 🫠🫠🫠
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
