Why am I jealous of my baby dad?

My kids dad and I separated almost 2 years ago, I was tired of doing everything in the house / with the kids and working while he just played on the console when he wasn’t at work. We never went on dates or even outside really, not much of a sex life and he wasn’t a present father for the children. Fast forward to n...

My partner and I got into an argument and he mentioned how he’s not going to come home from work and clean, cook, be a “babysitter,” etc. I told him that all that is being called a dad is.

What is the correct approach?

Little one’s grandad (father-in-law) is taking them for first solo “day out” together in the car - they have zero plan, just going to see where the day takes them...

Im a stay at home mom & sometimes I feel like I really need a break 😩, im grateful that my partner is able to provide so that I can stay home but we’re barely getting by.

I miss working & actually having money but I refuse to send my baby to daycare. Something being around my partner & our pets just irritates me so much. I get jealous that he gets to have adult conversations at work and I’m just always at home, it makes me feel socially awkward at this point. He also gets to clock o...
