troubled relationship

My partner and I seem to be struggling a bit with out relationship. We are very in love but seem to be snappy at each other for no reason, taking offence to what each other says very quickly and i think i'm also being a little emotional/ tired and sensitive.

We moved to a new town last year (the day after i found out we were preggo with our second) now we have a 2yo boy and a 2mnth old girl. We dont really have anyone up here, we have met people but its taking time to meet people we click with, i think this may be part of our problem to, i am always with the kids and need time out (but never seem to get it) and he is always at work or with us (so there is no time out for him either)

I want to be back at work but im still feeding our daughter and dont want to stop (can anyone give any ideas on this one)... By me working i think i will get time out and the extra $ money always helps to lift some stress.

I'm not sure how to make things better between us, nither of us have a problem with each other but i still feel affected by the stupid bickering

potty training

My 3yr old (nearly 4yrs)has been out of nappies during the day for the past year but no matter what I do I can't get him to poo in the toilet. I have tried everything I can think of rewards ,taking him to the toilet with me to show him theres nothing to be afraid off etc. I have even tried refusing to give him a nappy when he asks for one but his way of getting around that is to hold it in and then start complaining his stomach is hurting or holding it till he has his bed time nappy on. He is now at school and not one accident he is doing really well using the toilets independently there but yet again if he needs a poo he will hold it in untill he gets home and then complain his stomachs hurting.What do I do?

Here fishy fishy fish

This is gonna sound silly because from my knowledge, the fishier a fish tastes, the higher it is in good fats like omega 3 and 6. Now my q, does any one know a a fish that would still be quiet high in the good things, that doesn't taste fishy, and if any one does have good recipes, that a quick and easy, could you please minti mail them to me. I ask as we are currently trying to have fish at least once a week to try and help our son curve some excess energy (peadiatrician said he is definetly showing attributes towards adhd and we want to control it as much as possible with diet, exercise and positivity. not drugs!) And as many would know, fish is meant to be an exceptionally good food for brain development and concentration. Please help!

Ear tubes - grommets

My 1 year old just had grommets inserted. I am wondering how long it takes to see a difference to the better. He is still quite miserable and crying a lot, I would say he is worse than he was before the operation which took place 4 days ago.

Mums who have expressed

With my son, i never even thought about breast feeding/ expressing and went straight with formula. This time im wanting to express.

I was just wondering how would I go about giving the baby its first bottle once born. Would I need to start expressing during pregnancy and freeze the milk or what? I dont get to see a midwife till March so thought I'd ask on here.
Thanks

We have good reason to believe our eldest son has ADHD...

We are working with his teacher to try to find some kind of behavior therapy for him, however my husband and I are not wanting to put him on any sort of drugs. I've done some reading about homeopathic solutions and have come across sme stuff made by VAXA. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with VAXA, or any other types of treatments like that.

schools sores

My poor boy has picked up a school sores and we have beeen to the doctor to have it confirmed. He is now on antibiotics and has an antibacterial cream to put on the sores.
I was told to keep it clean but didn't think to ask if I should remove the crusty bits (where the oozey stuff has dried?) or to leave that (I have been cleaning it away atm). I'm also stuck on weather it would be ok if he came to the supermarket with me as its quiet contagious through contact with the sores themselves.

Adult child benefit provision

My husband who does not handle any of the household bills, finances, paperwork etc added our 24 year old back to his medical plan under this new provision that was offered for the first time last year. The problem is that most people didnt realize the tax implications of adding these children onto their benefits. Sure the kid would be covered but the tax rate is like that of domestic partner. My husband who never makes any changes or deletions to the benefits account added our son back on last August without discussing it with me. I had almost submitted our taxes when he thought he may need to mention it to me. I finally got someone on the phone from his benefits office and was advised he added him as a claimable dependent which is a lower premium rate, however we havent claimed him on taxes in years. I have done our taxes for many years using turbo tax and am not having any luck finding any info in regard to this situation. I am afraid we may end up owing a nice tax bill thanks to my hubby's error but atleast grateful I hadnt filed yet and risked an audit. If you took advantage of this provision, I would love to hear about your experience or and advice from any tax professionals out there.

Need advice urgently

I went out today and asked ex if he could arrange for someone to pick up our child as I wanted to stay out longer, very stressed, upset and need time on my own. Ex called my parents to see if they could pick our child up. Parents then assumed I wanted to spend time out more than I wanted to spend with my son which is definitely not the case. I am not coping at the moment and if I didn't get some space things could have tipped me over the edge. I go to pick my child up from daycare only to find out my child isn't there!!!! after finishing having a heart attack I find that my parents have already picked him up without my permission. I tell them they have 5 minutes to return him to me or I'll call the police. They tell me ex gave permission to get him and once they picked him up they gave our child to him and he has taken him. Now my child is gone with his father and I have no idea where they are, will not answer my calls. I don't know what to do! I am in Australia.
