Everytime I wake my husband up out of his sleep he goes into a panic looking for his phone

I stay home with my child however when my husband gets home he takes her so I can cook. I make sure she’s fed and changed when I hand her off. Right after he gets her she always starts crying out of the blue. I know her cries and it’s a cry she only does if she’s hurt; After falling. I always go in and his respons...

I’m getting fed up with my husband. Like he constantly wants to be out and not home. He already works crazy hours. I’m literally just home and thought this is what he wanted?

Thinking about ending it, this is our second go around. We spent a year apart and I felt my kids ages 7 and 2 suffered for the first 6months (behavioral problems ect) then they adjusted.

So it’s been over 2 months now and my mom who lives like 20 minutes away still hasn’t come to see my baby. 😑 it’s always some kind of excuse, it’s too cold, I have yard work to do….

I want to get out, go the coffee shop, go to the mall, but I don’t know how to time it and I see other moms going on and idk how they are doing it.

Has anyone not gotten enough attention from their husband that they started wanting it from other people.. not cheating but wouldn’t mind being called pretty by others..
