I got my daughter tickets to Disney on ice as part of her birthday. I woke up this morning seriously ill 🤒 I’ve spent most of today sleeping or struggling to awake and my partners had to take care of her. The tickets are for tomorrow night 🥲

Would you start at 2yo (as many do) - or is it too young? We had a trial session this week, and I’m not convinced either way. My child definitely prefers to throws balls (and throws well) - compared to kicking. He can kick - but I can’t decide if good to start football early, and maybe 3 yo is better? Or later?

My son will be 2 in June and he LOVES peppa pig so I thought about taking him to peppa pig world for his birthday. I mentioned it in conversation to my father in law who then invited himself. I thought okay one extra no problem. He brought it up again but this time to my partner about this great idea I’d found say...

Mums that also have toddlers what activities are you doing when home with baby and toddler? Getting my 3 year old out is fine but obviously I can’t be out all day. Im struggling for how to keep him entertained at home while also breastfeeding and seeing to my 3 week old during the day.

When you packed up your whole life and home to move country, what were the most important things to make sure you took with you? (NOT things like passports, documents, photos etc - those are obviously first packed). Struggling to start and prioritise what comes in luggage, what gets shipped and what never makes the ...

I need some advice on my situation. My husband has two children from a previous relationship. We have a daughter together and I am currently pregnant with our second child. BM decided to take SK on holidays abroad to the Caribbean in the week that my baby is due. I don't know what to do, as I would like them to meet...

If you had the chance to move to New Zealand with your husband and 3yr old would you do it? We don't know anyone over there, all of our family are in the UK and I know our daughter will miss her grandparents and cousins But I just feel like the UK is going sh£t and NZ offers more security and a brighter future. Bu...

Does anyone know where they are? I had a look and could only find somewhere tomorrow in St Helens and no further dates or locations. I can't make tomorrow's place

So we are headed for our first abroad holiday as a family of 3. We have a 14 month old little one, he doesn't currently walk but we have just over a month so you never know. Please share all of your absolute musts for travel, poolside, days out and beach. I have no clue what to get 😂!

What do you guys do all day? My baby is almost 11 months old and I have no idea what do do all day. I sing, dance, let his explore wherever he wants to go (safely) when we can (depending on weather) we go for walks around stores and im just losing it. When I try and set up activities he just tries to eat it or chew...

I find it so funny that they just latch onto something for a while. At the moment my son is obsessed with tractors, rainbows, the alphabet, and bees 🐝 😅 We listen to the same tractor song probably 100 times a day

Does anyone have any garden stuff out for your April baby? I am looking for inspiration for independent (supervised) outdoor play.

What games do you play with your little one at home for their development?

Feel a bit pants typing this but need some advice. My lad is audhd and goes to a sen school but he has a problem with hitting another child. School are doing what they need to but was wondering how I could help hom understand not to do it as the behaviour is coming home and he's doing the same to his brother. Big br...

What ideas can I do for the garden now it's getting warmer outside? I go and put the washing outside but she hates it when I leave the livingroom and shes in her playpen, what can I do outside that's safe for her to be outside with me just so I can do odd stuff without having her attach to me. Her being inside is n...

I always question whether I'm doing enough to play with my toddler. When we're at home and I'm not cooking/doing some sort of chore, I generally sit on the sofa and my toddler will play around in the living room. He seems happy enough and will run around and play with different toys, bring me stuff, etc. I interac...

Mums of teens, my son (12) is a total gamer has been most of his life and honestly I hate it. He doesn’t enjoy being outside or doing sports. Nothing comes close to gaming basically. I’ve spent the last 12 years encouraging him to do this and that but always comes back to gaming. He spends most of his time at his da...
