Jealous daddy

My husband is a great husband and father. Our baby has been sick, so she's been seeking mommy most. He's jealous and feeling left out cause she wants me, and he feels he doesn't get much time with her cause he works evenings (I work days) we work opposite shifts... I sleep with her at night cause that's just what wo...

Silly single mum predicament- advice

So I’m a young single mum but been dating a guy for three months now, he keeps asking me to be his girlfriend and to meet my child but personally it’s too early and I’m yet to see signs of what I want in a partner in him.

Partner keeps getting annoyed about me "sneaking" around the house...

Apparently, I am extremely quiet and light footed. I keep "sneaking up on him" and making him jump, and he flips out at me about it and makes me feel bad, even though I've not even tried to be quiet!! I've started trying to walk louder, fake cough when I'm approaching, talking... just so he can hear I'm coming... bu...

Family Struggles

Has anyone else ever had the urge to cuss out a family member for just blatantly disrespecting your boundaries? My husband's grandparents let us live with them until we could find a place to live. We moved from Houston to San Antonio while I was still pregnant and finding places was HARD. They ended up having to mov...

Opinions please

Baby will be 10 weeks old on Friday and have been invited out for food by girlfriends on Friday night. Baby is EBF and fussy in the evening (wanting to be on boob). I said I would take him with me but husband said a cheese and wine bar is not the right place for a baby on a Friday night. I completely accept that and...

Can’t watch so I hide🫣

So I need to know what to do or if this isn’t normal. I seriously cannot watch other people interact with my baby or else I will snatch him away from them and leave the room with the world’s worst attitude. I have no idea why I am like this to literally everyone including my husband. I don’t even want someone touchi...

Weaning 🥦 🥕

This might be a stupid question but I’m a first time mum and not sure. Do I have to start with single vegetables when weaning? Can I start with meals or homemade veggie snacks? I’m a little confused 😅

WIC??

Who qualifies for WIC? I’m pregnant and unemployed BUT I live with my boyfriend who supports the both of us and makes a decent amount. Does his income play any part of being able to get WIC? I really just want it for the formula aspect and fruits as those are pretty expensive and I’m planning on just formula feeding.

Is my husband neglectful? How concerned should I be?

I’m a sahm and do all our baby’s hygiene care, sleep feeds, doctor’s appointments (due to health issues), spend the day with her and put her to bed.
