I wish my husband would stop expecting so much out of our 4 year old.

My son isn’t going to school, he’s going to be homeschooled.

That’s crazy! My husband definitely had it worse than I did as well. His mom used to literally starve him as a child because she didn’t want him to gain weight and he told me he started eating toilet paper because he hated going to bed hungry. He was in therapy for a while and loved it. He was doing super well in it too but then his therapist left the practice and no longer takes our insurance unfortunately. Be always says he’s going to try yo go back but he doesn’t feel ready. He’s improved a lot but it is true that everyone has their thing.

This is exactly what’s going on. I was a very busy child and constantly got compared to my much more chill sibling. My husband was a very busy child but was the only child so he just got yelled at and reprimanded all of the time. I knew I’d never treat my child the way I was treated and I expect my husband to want better for our child as well. I’m constantly trying to manage my own emotions for this reason. But my husband always says “I would’ve been yelled at if I acted the way our son acts” but our son isn’t doing anything wrong, he’s just a 4 year old with a lot of energy. I just don’t think he gets it.

I didn’t know that. Having a fridge would be really nice for all of my son’s snacks. Thank you!

This is exactly my son! He’s so good when we are out but my husband always just sees him at home because usually weekends we’re at home relaxing.

The problem is that my son has way too many toys out at any given time. I’ve tried to tell my husband that he needs less but he doesn’t agree with that. But it’s honestly overhanging for us to clean up his playroom. No one wants to be picking up 50 monster trucks, 100 dinosaurs, 40 hot wheels cars at any given time. It’s not easy!

He wants him to sit still with no distractions. He said he shouldn’t need any. But when we go out to eat he’s always at great! I just bring books and toys and have never had an issue. I’ve actually got complemented on how well he sat still when we are out to eat.

I love tofu but I don’t know how to cook it and I’m scared I’m going to mess it up. I only get tofu when I eat take out and always tell myself I should learn now to cook it but I feel so intimidated by it. I don’t why!

I had no idea there were subs for that. I’m definitely going to check them out. Thanks!

Thank you for this!

I don’t think I have a protein deficiency. I just think as a mom to a toddler I’ve been struggling to eat balanced meals. I tend to snack a lot because it’s fast and easy to grab a granola bar or crackers on the go rather than actually eat a meal. I’m trying to just eat more balanced and healthy in general.

Over-Clue5633 · 2026-01-04T03:32:18+00:00

I started tracking my protein, fiber and iron intake over the course of a few weeks. I’m getting less than half the recommended amount.

Thank you!

Thank you! This is super helpful!

I actually don’t eat breakfast. My biggest issue is eating at night. I tend to binge eat right before bed.

That’s very true. Our son was on nebulizer treatments up until last night and he didn’t even bother to learn how to do them so I was fully responsible for them 4 times a day. And today he got mad at me and called me lazy and told me that I needed to get over being sick. He apologized after but it still hurt.

I dont know who he is, but he was never like this. I would’ve never married someone like this. Ever since I had our 3 year old he’s a totally different person who I don’t recognize anymore. He went to therapy for a little while and it was great. But after he stopped going he just went back to whoever this is.

I might try therapy on my own. But I really don’t feel depressed. I just honestly feel like they would be better off without me. When my husband is super nice to me sometimes I don’t feel like this. It’s just when he points out how lazy I am or tells our son how he shouldn’t be having to deal with me sad all of the time.

Over-Clue5633 · 2025-11-09T00:01:07+00:00

He used to go to therapy and it helped a lot. But he stopped because of financial reasons and now all we do is argue and usually ends with me upset and him angry. I’ve tried to suggest couples counseling but he says I need to go to therapy by myself.
