I’m genuinely getting stressed about this. My husband’s family have booked a holiday let 3 hours from our home for the week and my husband has said we’ll go for a long weekend. I’m 33 weeks pregnant and very nervous about being that far away from home as they are really not supportive of my pregnancy (I’ve barely ha...

I'm sorry to say this but kids?...they don’t owe you perfect behavior. They just don't. They’re learning, just like you. Expecting them to always listen, be calm, and act “right” is setting yourself up for frustration. Kids aren’t little robots programmed to behave perfectly—they’re messy, emotional, and figuring ...

Please send recommendations 🙏

Curious to know how others would react and feel about a MIL like mine. There’s a long history of her over stepping boundaries and being disrespectful and I mostly bite my tongue to keep the peace but she crossed the line yesterday. My son has had to see a dietitian and a gastroenterologist who we are very lucky i...

How’s it all going for you and baby, what are they eating and how many times a day?

I am thinking to go on holiday when I am 32-33 weeks! It will be a 2 hour flight so kept it nice a short. Does anyone have any recommendations about going abroad/on holiday pregnant! (Will ensure we are insured!) Edited - I have a midwife appointment for fit to fly before hand I also have looked at the airline po...

I am just going on my 3rd week back to work and I am now on my second day of having to use PTO because of illness and daycare issues. One day the daycare had to close the infant classroom due to shortage of staff because of illness. Now today I feel she is sick and needs to go see the pediatrician so I have to take ...

Hi. We've been potty training my little boy for the past 5 days. He's been doing great at home. Usually has 1 accident per day and is doing poos on the potty. Today was his 1st day and nursery and hasn't gone well at all. He's gone through 7 sets of bottoms so far today! He's got 1 more set of clothes left so they s...

Every now and then over something small, we have this freaking fight and I’m so sick of it. I’m still salty this morning after not speaking all night and me going to bed early. What happened: yesterday morning I ran to get groceries, our 3 yr old didn’t want to go so husband had him and the 7 month old baby (he rar...

My daughter (11) banged on our door tonight while my partner and I were in the middle of adult time *cough cough* and my daughter became hysterical. Went to the backyard crying and carrying on for all the neighbors to hear. Then carried on in her bedroom for ages waking up our dog & 6 month old baby. This isn’t the ...

I have just been doing my weekly food shop with my children, 2 month old strapped to me & my 3 year old walking next to me & an old couple pushed my trolley out the way and huffed at me twice, on the second time I asked if there was a problem she told me I shouldn't be allowed out with 2 children by myself & im spee...

I didn't know I would ever feel this way, but I hope our children NEVER EVER meet a man like their father. He is a narcissistic drama king who can't be good for anyone. He can't come out of himself at all. All he thinks about is sex and a vacation. With the family that he despises. I'm so sad that I gave him childre...

Anyone else just feeling so guilty on their younger kids when feeling so tired in the first trimester? I’m struggling at the moment and I’m not my usual fun with self him and just feel like such a crap Mum. A lot of our days at the moment are at home and my family have been helping out. Taking him for days out and...

When you give your baby pasta do they ever actually eat any or just play with it?

Anyone give there little ones 12+ meals? My boy is 9 months and I’m thinking of trying them this week.

Can anyone share a daily/weekly/monthly activity plan by age for a toddler to do at home I took my son out of daycare and he's full time with me now. I need to get organized and we follow a routine but I could really use an activity plan that I can set up each day. I wish I knew the daycares plan There must be...

Hello, I was wondering if my 10 month can eat fish fingers? I know it's processed food but I'm struggling with meal ideas

So, i have a 5 year old but when he went through teething, we didn't even know about it 😅 So not sure if this may be teething? My little girl was fine yesterday until around 5pm. She started projectile vomitting and was very upset. She's gone off her bottles (usually has 7-8oz 3x a day but only drinking 1/2oz),…

My LG who turned 3 last week started potty training yesterday, we had tried before at 2 year's and 5 months but due to a family illness had to stop. She's going to be so hard to train, she's very smart, picture memory but says no I sit on the potty later when you ask her to and causes a tantrum when you make her ...

Should I be expecting teeth soon ? Or is this just what they look like ?
