does purchasing a trademark mean someone can take my username?

hello! someone recently asked if they could purchase my instagram username. we had a very nice conversation after i politely declined, as i have had my username for 11 years and it is deeply connected to my identity. a few days after our conversation, they told me they are going to purchase the trademark for my username and contact an instagram employee they know so that i will have my username taken away. is this actually possible for them to do? i'm sorry if this is a stupid question!

husband nitpicking everything i do with our son

i (23f) and my husband (23m) have a son (18months) together. my husband and i have a pretty normal relationship, except recently he seems frustrated by everything i do regarding our son. i'll call my husband "F" and our son "S".

examples:

S has extremely rare screen time. when he watches tv, i'd like for him to watch something educational, but F immediately says S is bored (even though S is showing zero signs of boredom) then changes the educational show to a cartoon. not something we need to argue about, so i let it go.

S likes to run through the kitchen and open and close everything. when i'm cooking, i would like for him to not do that, so i gently escort him out of the kitchen. F says "he just wants to spend time with you! it's okay S, you can be in the kitchen." so, S comes back into the kitchen. again, i don't have time or energy to argue, so i just watch out for S.

i'm eating dinner alone in our bedroom after something that just happened. i was cooking while S and F were sitting and waiting. when i brought out our plates, S was holding his cup. i gently took it from him and placed his plate in front of him. he didn't care at all and started excitedly digging into his food. F said "leave him alone!" i started to explain why i took S's cup (the reason is because S gets confused when there are several things in front of him, so i always keep the cup next to my plate and let him drink from it when he asks for it) but F kept interrupting me, saying "no, he doesn't get confused. no." i asked him "why do you have a problem with everything i do?" and he said "because you're always taking shit out of S's mouth!" i don't know what that even means. the only time i take anything out of S's mouth, is when it's something like trash or a shoe. anyways, i found out some really sad news this morning and i'm not in the mood to walk on eggshells, so i just took my plate into the bedroom.

i have no idea wtf is happening and my husband will not enlighten me. am i doing something wrong? have you ladies gone through something similar? i'm lost.
