We have that at the moment, I haven’t had her checked over yet bc bank hols and she’s so happy and content apart from her stinking cold that I didn’t think it warranted 111. But if it puts your mind at ease that’s what they’re there for!

Literally had the same response from Mr B. Why should I have to ask for you to feed your son? And when I do, you fall asleep so, what’s the point in asking?Yep, that’s exactly what we went through. There was so much up in the air when the baby came, helping me, helping with the baby and helping with the home. I had to reiterate being a dad is more than playing the joker and getting her to laugh. He used the classic line ‘just ask me’I had to remind him that he was an adult and equal parent to the baby, he can’t rely on me to remind him to engage his brain. And before going to football asking did I need anything, had I been to the toilet, had I eaten, did I need ten mins of baby free time. He needed to much guidance
I woke up at 9.45 and just chilled. Let him deal with the kids and making bottles.
He asked why I got the hump, and I said we both done the same things on Saturday and Sunday, yet he gets sleep (8 full hours) and I get 5 if I’m lucky. I haven’t had a full 8 hours since before I was pregnant. Over a year. I’m tired. Just because my job isn’t physical, doesn’t mean I do any less
I have a whiney baby. I think she’s bored of my company. I’m running out of ideas, husbands decorating / hiding in the garage. I know it needs doing but he literally does nothing with her and I’m bored too. I don’t know whether she’s hungry tired from silly 30’min naps, teething or just that age where they just whine but it’s frustrating me so bad.
Honestly, get out for a walk! There’s times when I thought it was impossible but throw on anything, even if they’re dirty and get some air for you both. Sit on a bench, people watch, sit her on some grass, it will distract her if nothing else x
Exactly, I explained that yes I’m default parent but when we’re both home it’s 50/50, she has two parents!
Yeah it totally does. My partner says I’m nagging/moaning/going on about stuff but like, it’s because it needs doing and why should I have to ask 100 times?!
He actually helped me out a lot yesterday before my family came over, just spoilt it all by being an hole last night.
It’s really lovely that you and Mr TY got back together though. I think sometimes they just need a good kick up the bum and to mature a bit!
Imagine if as mums we sat around waiting for instructions all the time too. Poor babies wouldn’t be happy
I second going for a walk. Mines at the same age and sometimes I just think what are we actually supposed to do all day? But even if it’s just for half and hour, if you can stick her in the pram and go out for a walk it both kills time and gets you both out of the house. Mine tends to fall asleep in the pram too which helps!
Ahh it’s so tough at that age. I spent so long staring at her just going “what do I do with you now?!”
I second going for a walk, or even just going to sit outside, it’s a mood booster for you and a bit of sensory time for her. You could pop her in the pram, go for a long walk (maybe grab a coffee etc) and then hopefully she’ll sleep as well so it’s a win win!
Yeah nap times due so I’m going to go. I went for one yesterday too. I just need some adult company my brains turning to mush
Also, be pushy. Ask mums if they want to grab a coffee, go to the local free rhyme times and your family centres free groups. When I moved to the area I live now when I was younger and baby free I made meet up groups on meetup purely just to get out the house and if they were a bit odd I considered it a good story for the future
Do you have anyone around you can invite out for a walk? It’s so tough I really feel for you
I know no one where I live.Do you have anyone around you can invite out for a walk? It’s so tough I really feel for you
I need to get out more. 
Haha I second this, when baby was tiny I literally forced my company on a girl I vaguely knew with a baby the exact same age. I’m a v anxious person an I always worry I’m annoying people but I did it anyway and now we’re besties and the babas are besties. Like you said - worst case you get a funny story!Also, be pushy.

Have you tried Peanut?I know no one where I live.
More often then not women probably thinking are thinking the same but too shy to ask! My friends used to text me and ask how my lady dates had gone
I met two wonderful women on it and I see them every week usually we go for coffee the park loads of cheap things and I love them so much we also rant about our partners not really me so much but I am there to talk to and listen I don’t know what I would do without them. Baby group helped me make some other friends too! Check out orange on a swing

Quick Q - I love our pram but getting a bit stressed about how we're going to fit everything in the car when we go away in the summer. It's just the three of us but once pram and car seat and travel cot are loaded it's gonna be tough adding in clothing etc x3 plus we need towels, beach towels, possibly a high chair or bumbo or something as we're in a self catering unit, blah blah blah.
So considering pulling the trigger on buying a smaller lightweight/travel pram, with the thinking that we'll use it to go abroad with next year too. I heard the babyzen are good but then I saw the price and er, no. I don't mind not buying the absolute cheapest if it means it's a bit more fit for purpose/we get a bit longer out of it, but we won't be spending two hundred quid.
This one looks okay, does anyone have it? Or would recommend another or has a tips on what to watch out for? Ta.

We ended up buying a stroller just to go away but with fitting things in, can you put half the chairs down in the back of the car?Quick Q - I love our pram but getting a bit stressed about how we're going to fit everything in the car when we go away in the summer.

I think we're going to have to invest in a roof rack
All the kids and partner had bags under their feet this time and we couldn't fit a suitcase in so had to put clothes in bags to fit around everything else in the car. The pram takes up so much space in the boot!
Ffs, why does Mr B look fit today? How can I hate him when he gets his sunglasses out and is playing with the older boys 
Baby o has developed a new habit of bending and then kicking/stretching her legs when she feeds so she shuffles her bum off my lap I don’t think she’s in pain as she’s not lifting her legs and her tummy feels fine, it’s just bloody annoying
