Does anybody else fill with anxiety at the thought of a visit from the in laws? They haven’t visited for 4 months and it’s been nothing but trouble with them. How can I deal with this?

What sort of things are you giving baby for lunch? We always give a hot meal at dinner time either puree or the same as what we eat. For lunch we usually give toast and try some fruit or carrot sticks but I’m looking for inspiration! Also he’s going to be going to grandparents while I’m back at work next month and...

Hello, does anyone know of a daycare or daycare in someone’s home that has a small class size for 0-3 year old range. Location: inside loop, sugarland or south of 59 (friendswood, west u etc) Thank you!

I’m really struggling with lunch/tea ideas. I use Ella’s kitchen pouches - purely because I’m lazy and 8/10 times I’m too exhausted to make ‘proper food’. I’m a single mum and I really want to get better at making ‘meals’ for my LG. I buy the stuff like veg etc give it 1 or 2 times and then I just revert back to pou...

I’m finding the 4pm - 7.30pm bit of the day is really dragging now that it’s cold and dark outside. I used to go for a walk with lg in the pram or go over to the park but can’t do that as much now. What are you all doing to keep your little one entertained before dinner and bed?

So my toddler is really bad with sleep and due to having absolutely no help whatsoever with childcare it’s been difficult to take him off the formula, so we’ve tried cows milk for about two weeks, and mixing cows milk with formula but he gets diarrhea, and now he’s eating has become really bad and he doesn’t even ea...

He has a disgusting habit of constantly being on his phone while driving. Not just texting & driving but literally watching football & constantly looking at his football fantasy shit. I keep talking to him about it & it's getting WORSE. He'll do it while me & OUR CHILD is in the car. I blew up & told him if he crash...

So here is what my girl eats during the day I feel like she needs to have more solids but I have no idea what to give her? Mornings 9am she has her weatabix this is a must she won’t have anything else for breakfast Brunch around 12pm she will have a banana or yoghurt Naps at 1-3 After her nap 3:30 she has lu...

My little boy is 6.5 months and loves trying his food although he's not quite eating much yet but we're offering food consistently twice a day. Im out on Friday and would prefer not to take an ice pack but was wondering if I steam some veg the night before and leave it in the fridge overnight, can it be left in my b...

Baby will be 3 weeks.. I haven’t seen my stepdad since my baby shower. He didn’t even congratulate me for giving birth all because I told him abt two months ago that I would prefer we hold off on him calling himself grandpa since he kept saying it over and over I felt I needed to say something. I went through a toug...

Seeing I am here alone during the day I am petrified of walking away and my daughter getting into stuff and getting hurt However, I am having a hard time with my bathroom breaks. Do you other moms take your little to the potty with you? Then its her playing with stuff in the bathroom so I end up not going and being...

My partner and I have lived together for over a year and a half. He can be harsh with my daughter but he tells me he is only trying to help me. He's yelled at her on a few occasions. This morning really bothered me. She wasn't getting out of bed and she gave me an attitude. He came into her room and just starts yell...

I am a stay at home mom of 3 kids. My last born is 1 year old. And I plan she would go to crèche at 2. My neighbour who works is 4 months pregnant and has asked some months back if I could babysit for her. I made it clear that I've been home the past 7 years tendering for my kids. I would want to go back to work or ...

My kids will all be home from school and I’m having a stroke trying to think of things to do. Have you/ will you do you mapped out anything

My son is 15 months and he learned to shake his head no around 13 months. We’ve tried teaching him to shake his head to say yes, but he just says no to everything. If I ask him if he wants more (for food) he’ll shake his head no and then open his mouth for more. It’s like he thinks he’s saying yes. How to I teach hi...

Lately I’ve felt nothing but rage towards my bd. He’s a selfish jack ass. When I got pregnant all did was tell me that he did want another kid and then he moved away. I couldn’t help but felt abandoned. Our son is now a year old and he still has baby been in his life but he wants to preach of great of a dad he is. A...

So my little boy does amazing with going to the potty for a wee and poo when he has nothing on his bottoms but as soon as I put pants or jogger bottoms on he forgets about the potty. How can I encourage him to go with something on.. he has no problem in pulling them down and if he does he asks for help but I just do...

I have a nearly 7 month old and a 2 year old, now the weather is getting colder and the parks are freezing 😂 does anyone have any days out ideas? I worry with play areas as my oldest isn't big enough to play on her own but I cant carry my 7 month old round a wacky warehouse 😂

My baby is 14 weeks old and is inconsolable today, she has a rashy face, dribbling like crazy, chewing on her hand and she has a bit of a sore bum. It’s textbook symptoms but is she too young?

I have a 30 month old boy and my husband is just not interested in doing anything with him. The moment he gets home from work he will stick the TV or just stay glued to his phone. If our son wants to play with him he just blanks him and I asked him why are you not playing with him and he said I don't want to. I feel...
