If something was bought to you/for you, that you didn't ask for, and it hinders your life... should you be grateful?

I hate that I get called ungrateful but I hate that I have to be grateful for something that I've not asked for! Example, My lovely lovely dad bought us an 8 seater picnic bench as a wedding present, obviously to put in the garden, and my 2 very small children keep climbing up onto it, falling off and hurting themse...

What is the one item you couldn’t do without as a twin mum?

One of my friends announced today that she is 16 weeks pregnant with non identical twins (they won’t find out gender). I’d like to buy her a gift and wondered what you would recommend.

Gifts for birthdays

We have our first 2nd birthday party soon and I have no idea what are ideal presents to gift? A book or is that considered stingy? You never know what parents like their children to play with, so I was wondering if there are any ideas and suggestions that tend to be a hit! Thank you 😊

Christmas question: Is something like this (see comments) enough to gift to family members from my daughter (15m)? They would get a separate gift from partner and I too?

Sorry I know it's too soon to be talking Christmas but I'm pregnant and need to be organised! If I make these from my LO would take be enough as a gift do you think !? My partner's family are big on presents for everyone 🤦🏼‍♀️

Am I over reacting? Should I not have expected it??

Would you feel a bit sad if you make a birthday party for your 3 yr old and everyone shows up but no one brings a gift? My mom was the only person who brought a gift and I felt a little sad because my daughter was so excited. (Our gift to her is on its way from Amazon) but I just felt a little bummed for her. Althou...

Just a thought and wanted feedback

Okay so December birthdays are coming soon. I ended up making my own invitations to his birthday party. I loved making them and I know they aren’t perfect when it comes to being centered and even. But I thought I could work on them and get better. Now my thought is so sell customized ones through Etsy or something l...

PSA - boots recycle

I just found out about the boots recycle app. You need a booots advantage to use but you enter in “hard to recycle” products (wipe packets, nappy packs, there is loads but for mums we go through the majority of these) and you drop 5 off at boots and you get points back!! Over a year you could get points on your card...

6 month old for Christmas?

Hello, sorry to mention the c word but I’m going to have an almost 6 month old for Christmas. I’ve already bought him a tonie box for it and don’t need to buy him much more. However what sort of things do they need at that 6 month milestone that I’d probably end up buying him anyways that I could get him? Thank you xx
