New and love to hike/walk

Hi I’m new to the area and my boy is 6.5 months old. Not sure if he is allowed on a back carrier yet but would love to talk hikes/walks and get outdoors when the weather is nice!

How would this make you feel?

My ex husband cheated badly. He then went on to mentally and financially abuse me during our divorce when I got the guts to leave.

I later found out he’d started sleeping with one of my best friends. Why she went there is still a mystery to anybody because she knew how nasty he’d been to me. She must have lost her mind.

Anyway it’s been five years. I heard down the grape vine that they’ve had a rocky relationship but they did have a baby together. They also just got married too.

Anyway guess what. He’s done exactly the same to her as why he did to me.

Part of me hates the thought of this happening to any woman. Especially when kids are involved but the level of hurt the pair of them have inflicted onto me also makes me feel slightly glad! Karma caught up with her. I’m sad he’s not changed his ways, he’s a truly nasty person.

But I feel so conflicted about being secretly sorta happy this has happened. I could have predicted their ways would come back to bite them. Also I hate woman who do this to other woman. Me and my friend had been best friends since we’re 14!

How would you feel?
Has this ever happened to you?

Feeling guilty

I am feeling really guilty. My baby is almost 8 months old, has learned she can stand up and all she wants to do is hold my hands to stand up. She gets extremely whiny, whingy and frustrated whenever I’m doing something that doesn’t involve holding her hands. This morning I was trying to set up a new baby camera and I couldn’t work out how to do it and she kept trying to climb me and was shouting and whinging. I pick her up and put her down on her bottom and I shouted ‘enough’ and she got really upset. this is probably me just ranting but when does it phase stops?! She used to be entertaining herself up until a couple of weeks ago but now she just won’t entertain herself anymore. I used to play with her and I still do now but before I was able to at least leave her do to bits, now no matter what new toys I show her she won’t let me wash bottles, tidy up, make lunch without crawling to my legs and cry 😭 I end up having to put tv on for a few minutes so I can sit down in peace without her whinging or whining. It’s constant, literally constant

SMP is diabolical

How’s anyone surviving on SMP!? I don’t qualify for free childcare yet so what I’d be paying makes it my whole salary. I’m not entitled to any help at all benefit wise. Ive paid into the system for 15 years and there’s just no help at all. Honestly feeling so stressed and down 😩

Nursery advice

Hi. Feel free to tell me if I am being overdramatic but I need some advice.

Our 13 month old started nursery approx 3 months ago and I just have such negative vibes. He comes home in random clothes sometimes, his nappies are never put on the correct way, he is given different food because they don’t read his allergy plan properly.
I am just fed up.

Baby engaged

Am I being over the top?

When my baby was about 4mths old he was with his fathers parents (so my sons grandparents) and they fed him and they kept it hidden from me for about 2 months!
My partner found out and said they were wrong not to tell us and they agreed but said they knew that I wouldn’t have liked it.. so then my partner and his parents all kept it hidden from me!!! I feel betrayed by all of them. And now my partner gets in a mood when I say they aren’t babysitting our son…am I being over the top or am I in my rights to feel like this?
To this day have not said what they fed him and he was at the time suffering with constipation.
