Just wondering where people go on a rainy day with baby? X (missing the sunshine already!)

My 2 year old has barely slept last night due to having a cough, meaning I've barely slept. I usually resort to going for a walk but it's pouring it down so can't do that. Any suggestions on some activities to do when absolutely exhausted but also something that would keep him entertained for a while?

I found a few childminders locally who are a good option but I’m a bit surprised by their contracts. 1) they take 6 weeks holidays a year and you still have to pay them but they reduce the daily rate by a third 2) don’t work bank holidays and you still have to pay 3) charge £15 a day extra if you use government fund...

My partner bores me. We had a baby last year. We haven't been on holiday for almost 2 years and he's reluctant to book one again. Weekends are spent doing the same walks. Nothing any differnt, fun or exciting. We have no one to help us childcare wise so date nights are off the limits. But he makes no effort to do an...

Your 3yr old hits you with a toy. Would it be a justified reaction to take that toy and throw it?

Looking for dinner ideas for my 5 year old. He won't eat veggies, pasta, meat, beans or rice.

My baby has always been able to play alone while I clean the house & he’s always been able to put himself to sleep at nap time. He recently was teething and they’ve come through now so as of the last week and a half he’s been all good in that aspect but ever since he teethed, I cannot leave the room or let him fall...

Anyone’s toddler in swim lessons? Last spring/summer we did swim lessons where I would go with her. So it was a parent included class. Last week she started her toddler class and I don’t go in the water with her anymore. Last week and tonight she has cried for me the whole 30 minutes of class and it’s so heartbreaki...

So my stepson (7) loves to play on his switch and ipad. My daughter (1) loves to watch. I recently noticed that he has started to turn the screen away from her so she can't see or brush her hands from near him. She doesn't try to touch the screen or anything, they are just near him. Now I'm all for enjoying your own...

I don’t want any tvs in my house. Call me super old school but I don’t like social media, screens, tv, and I’m planning on going out more holidays, trips out. I like board games, family time, arts and crafts. Is this silly? Am I stupid?

My little girl is 3 weeks old and we love getting out for walks so far we’ve only really done the hoe and plymbridge … any suggestions on pram friendly walks in and around Plymouth?

Today my 2 year old daughter was super rambunctious. She had been dismissing foods she normally eats and starts yelling out of no where. My husband just started back to work after being off for a few weeks after having our new baby. So we are all still adjusting to having a new baby in the house. Well tonight at di...
