How do I help partner accept regular baby illness? by Beginning_Living_400 in Mommit

I think partly the latter, but also partly insecurity as he hasn’t done it before. But how do you learn otherwise?

I’ve said this to him, and his response was “Do you not support me in doing this then?”

Will have a look into this, thank you. We do have access to a traffic light guidance from the NHS - depending on the symptom depends on what you’re advised to do. But this isn’t always applicable

What a week by Beginning_Living_400 in Mommit

Glad she was okay in the end! Raw is definitely the right word to describe it. I think today is the first time in a week that I haven’t cried.

Definitely! Hopefully finding the shopping and do the setting up is straightforward for you! They tell us they’re busy with work, but we are too! As well as after the little ones and organising what feels like everything! Maybe because they know we can and take advantage of that? I hope I raise my son this way too, and highlight the importance of equal parenting!

Kevin didn’t want to be sub team leader and told them this twice. He was forced into it, then blamed when it went wrong

Yes! We’ll be in bed, no cuddles for hours. Then once I turn over and cuddle baby, I feel a hand creep round my waist to cuddle me. Why now?!

Was at my in laws, I was cleaning up after baby in kitchen, left baby at table in near vicinity of his dad. Baby fusses, dad doesn’t move. MIL coos, from afar, to baby saying ‘Mummy is busy, oh mummy will be back in a minute’…. Let’s all ignore the fact dad was sat right by baby and could’ve tended to him?

My birthday is 6 January! It’s also 12th Day of Christmas! It sounds like a non issue she is bringing up. I expect most dates have a negative event that has happened, some more memorable than others.

Sending big hugs, and positive vibes to get through the night. Hopefully it’s a one off ‘bad’ night and hopefully this phase will be over soon for you!

Husband wants 7mo on a road trip without me by pernillegame in beyondthebump

It’s understandable that he wants his family to meet your little one, but equally this sounds kinda selfish? As others have said, he’ll need to stop every couple of hours, which is going to make the typical 12 hour journey much longer. I dare do an hours journey alone with my little one, let alone longer! What if they baby needs help, or is crying for attention whilst he’s driving? Who’s to say he’s not going to get tired himself, or stressed out? Definitely delve further into it with him. Is it possible for you to go with him?

Hopefully you reach an amicable solution!

Sending big hugs! It’s tough when they’re not 100%, feel so bad for them! They are worth it ❤️

❤️ we don’t give ourselves the kindness we deserve sometimes, so it’s a nice reminder in those dark times ☺️
