First hair cut - feeling annoyed and upset

What would you do?
My partner took our little girl to my mums, after just coming to pick her up, no heads up, so that ruined the plans i already had with her, they have just got home and i found out my aunt cut her hair. Her first haircut and i missed it because no one told me, didn’t even ask if it was ok, i have made it clear so many times i want to be there when she has her first haircut cut. And this wish was denied. I feel upset that i missed it but mainly annoyed. Am i being silly?

No I'd be cross. What a violation. Are you are dad together ?

Omg I would be upset and annoyed too. What was the need for someone else to cut her hair? And surely they should have had the sense to at least ask you before doing something like that! I’d be livid and wouldn’t want her to even go there without permission.

I’d be angry if someone even gave my daughter something new to eat without checking with me first…. Cutting hair is such a personal thing to parents … it’s horrible they didn’t check with you or include you in this.

Totally justified with your feelings. I would totally be blocking them from seeing my daughter for months after. Especially since you clearly have mentioned it many times

Postpartum hair loss

When did yours start to stop?
I’m 7 months pp and it started around 4 months pp but it’s making me feel so sh*t with the amount I’ve lost.

I take vitamins and eat well and I just want it to stop 🥲

Any other mums feeling like this?

Before anyone judges, let me put it straight that I do absolutely love being a Mum but recently i’ve found i’ve been losing myself and becoming more and more agitated with little things, I never get a break from being a Mum and sometimes find myself missing the person I was before having a child, I feel awful that i’m feeling like this as I don’t want my Daughter picking up on my moods, I try so hard to make her happy and give her the best but sometimes it feels like i’m not doing enough, i’m juggling everything all at once (trying to get back into work after 3 years and having no luck) (doing course work that has tight deadlines) (trying to make sure I get her out and playing) (making sure she’s eating nutritional meals everyday) (trying to be the perfect person for everyone) it’s becoming a draining and depressing feeling.

Baby hates the car seat

My 8 week old cries for every car journey. Last week we went away on a 3 hour journey and thought we had turned a corner because she fell asleep calmly and we managed the journey with only two stops. On the way back was a different story, we had to stop 3 times in the first half hour and she cried solidly for the final 40 minutes because there wasn’t a services we could stop at. Since then she has cried for every car journey, almost the entire journey. It’s stressful when I can’t pick her up or physically comfort her and it’s putting me off going anywhere in the car. Anyone had this and found a solution?

This is the worst app for community or advice

You can’t even ask a genuine question seeking advice or maybe just to realize something new because someone just has to be negative. We’re supposed to be supportive of each other but instead there certain women being competitive and taking their pain out on others and I’m honestly sick of seeing it and dealing with it. Some people don’t have a village some people can’t leave there house for medical or other personal reasons. We don’t need some know it all bitch to tell anyone that they’re blaming their problems on others when you don’t even know them. I just hope you have to run into someone exactly like you and they give you the compassion and grace you shower others( which is none) but the acting authoritative and talking down to people has got to stop and you know exactly who you are.

Tantrums already

I don’t know about other babies but feel like mine has mini tantrums of throwing their body back or giving them something and then they’ll throw it. I thought all this was to begin at ‘terrible twos/three’s’. Even when I say ‘no’ to doing something they just continue and ignore me.

Do other mums have these bad days?
