I went with beech nut bc I get wic and supposedly they test each ingredient before and after processing. Gerber has a lawsuit in texas rn for not disclosing the unsafe levels bc they only test ingredients BEFORE processing and not after.

I’d just steam whatever you’re eating and give it to the baby. A little taste of everything :)

Divorce

I’m thinking of divorcing my husband. I have been with him for 6 years and married for 2 years. He is a huge mama’s boy and prior to marriage made me beg for help with anything. I saw all the red flags but kept being told he promised me he would work on it and change and show up more. I don’t ask for much, at all. I set the bar so low he can’t even do the bare minimum. He wasn’t there for me my entire pregnancy, and when my water broke he was mad it broke on the day a new video game came out. I was left alone in the hospital room too cause he kept saying he couldn’t stay in there cause he was bored. He didn’t help me postpartum and my family lives out of state so I spent my whole postpartum alone basically. He doesn’t like helping with our son and he’s 15 months old and when he gets home from work I ask him to play with our son while I cook or clean up and to give me a breather and he complains the whole time and says he’s bored & doesn’t know what to do with him. I don’t know if he will ever change he keeps telling me he will but I don’t know what to do

If you have other children, how are you coping?

I feel like it can't be this hard for everyone and surely I must be doing something wrong? Everything feels like an uphill battle.

I have a 3.5 year old son as well as our April baby and it feels like I may as well have 10 children.

I don't get anything done, yet I'm somehow never sitting down.

And I feel like I'm neglecting my baby because her brother takes up so much of my time and attention.

Weaning has been a disaster because I can't just sit and focus on feeding her. I cannot stress enough how impossible it is to just *sit*.

My 3yo is just constantly in the background "mummy look at this" "mummy I need help" "mummy I need the toilet" "mummy why are you feeding baby" "I want some too!" "Why why why why why I want I want I want" arghhhhhg!!!!

And I truly understand that he is just not used to sharing my attention and wants connection and to be involved. I get that. We always make time for him that's just solely for him and us, no baby sister. But daily life is just a struggle because he is relentless!

Not to mention the neverending to do list that just grows as the day goes on. Making all the meals, bottles, sterilising, nappy after nappy, sick, changing clothes, toddler accidents, toddler crying, toddler hurts himself, toddler tantrum, A THOUSAND snack requests, managing baby's naps pulling my hair out trying to keep her calm and sleeping in her bed whilst dipping in and out making sure 3yo isn't doing something unhinged in the livingroom.

I'm always hungry, I'm not even going to admit the last time I showered, or brushed my teeth, or hair.

And yes my 3yo goes to nursery but he only does half days because he's struggling with it, so the nursery runs just add more on my to do list and it never lines up with naps.

I could honestly just keep complaining all night.

Sorry for the whining but I've just about had enough. My head is spinning.

And with all that said, my husband is very involved when he can be, but he works long hours and is usually only home for bedtime, which is when we both take one child and take them to bed, so we rarely ever actually get any time together.

Any suggestions on how to not argue so much with your partner during the first two years of your kids life? We’re having a lot of issues with responsibilities and it feeling uneven for both people.

We both work from home and are doing different things to work on our careers. Because I don’t work nearly as much as he does, I take on more of the child related responsibilities. I also apparently boss him around, but I also feel like he doesn’t take initiative so I just feel like I’m being a household manager and I don’t mind managing things if he doesn’t mind letting me manage it, but he doesn’t like it but at the same time because he works more than me he does expect me to do more child related things, but doesn’t like when I take over either.

I’m at a loss of what to do and how to fix this.

Here to rant rq

So I’m a stay at home mom I have 2 boys ones 7 and ones 6 months old,I obviously cook clean do laundry feed the baby change the baby do everything make lunches all the things that need to be done on the daily, I’m SICK runny nose lost my voice I feel like absolute shit! AND the baby’s sick I’m still doing everything tho because I’m a stay at home mom and I wanna make sure everyone’s happy,but… my husband got home from work and he took the baby said hi kissed me told me about his day I told him about mine, he then looks at me and said “you need to shower you stink” like brotha!! I haven’t had time today to fuckin shower I’m dealing with a sick baby and doing everything else like when people are sick they have a stinky smell but it’s not like I smell like rotten onions or anything I just don’t smell like roses and shit, so with all that said… am I wrong for kinda being upset with that. Like I planned on showering when he got home, but he said he was hungry for dinner so of course me being me I put everyone first.
