I feel like a bad mum for letting my baby play with shoes and cat toys and eat honey and sugar 🙈
@Rachel I can’t keep him away from dog toys or shoes but just try and limit sugar 😂😂 you’re not a bad mum at all, we all prioritise different things and what we think is best!!xx
My mum collects from nursery one or twice a week. Our Daugher does school hours and has tea at my Mum's. A big thing for us is she'd be in the High chair for like 10 or 15 minutes and barley eat. So had to explain that she need more time in the chair to explore and its not just a case of her not being hungry. I'd send food for her tea. But then I know certain food weren't offered I think due to my mum's anxiety of her choking. But then me explaining I wouldn't send anything to hers unless I'm very comfortable at home her eating them x
It should be common sense, but that they have to be next to them lol. We were at our mum's house (we only visit a couple times a year so it's not baby proofed) and she looked after her, and I was like where is she? And she says she's playing in the living room (next door). Like...there are so many hazards in your house, please don't just leave her. Also shoes yes. You don't keep an eye on her and she'll chew on a shoe. I don't want her chewing on a shoe. Or playing with envelope openers. I sometimes wonder how I survived lol
@Nina I feel this!!
The biggest thing I’ve had to deal with when my parents have him is his naps. My mom thinks she knows best and that he should be on 1 nap, which he’s nowhere ready for, so I have to be pretty consistent reminding them of rough optimum nap times! How some food just be served, like squishing blueberries and had to lay down a very firm boundary of no biscuits/chocolate with my in laws as they look after our 17 month old nephew at the same time and his parents are a little more lax than we are with sugar. We had to say no it really doesn’t matter if Freddie has a biscuit, Jude won’t get jealous if you give him fruit instead!
