Alone with baby?

How am I supposed to cook, or eat, or shower, or wash up? How do you do those things if you have a 1 year old screaming at your feet. I just don't do the things 🤷🏻‍♀️

Speech delay and unkind people

Sorry for a bit of a rant but I’ve been so upset all afternoon about this and keep crying (which is so silly but also hormones because I’m expecting again). My little boy had glue ear and has hearing loss. His speech is delayed. He’s saying more words but it’s single words and their fairly basic, not sentences, and ...

Zero patience

Anyone else who already has kids finding your patience is so limited and the slightest inconveniences or annoyances (behaviour) from your kids sends you into a total rage? Upto my eyeballs with a stressed feeling and it’s horrible I hate being like this and feel bad for them being around me when I’m like that and al...

Bad behaviour - advice please 😭

Hey ladies My 2.5 year old is just playing up biting, hitting etc. I’ve tried telling him no, calmly.. to explain what is ok and what isn’t, time out in naughty corner. Nothing seems to improve his behaviour at the moment, it doesn’t work. Any tips on what to do? I’m struggling x

Need Advice

My 3 year old son has a problem with putting everything in his mouth or chewing on things. Has anyone dealt with this, and if so, do you have any advice on how I can curve this habit. Also, could him being autistic have anything to do with this?

Development delay

I feel sad today because I took him to a stay and play, there are younger children that seem miles ahead. Playing together, I feel like I’ve fail...

Delayed speech

So feel really bad that my son isn't stringing any sentences together at all, I've just tried and sat down with him doing a puzzle with farm animals trying to get him involved and getting him to name me the animals but when the puzzle was coming together and starting to become a flat surface he's got distracted by h...

My 12 month old doesn't say many words

My little girl recently turned 1 and all she really says is 'hiya' but not all the time. She does spend most of her day babbling gibberish though. I feel like she's a little behind some of my friends little ones who can say 5-6 words. I know I shouldn't compare but it's so hard.
