Cutest/silliest thing

What's one of the cutest/silliest thing your little ones have learned to do? Mine has learned how to call for the cats by making a little clicking sound with her tongue and reaching her hand out and waving for the cat to come to her. I think it is so silly and cute that she learned that from us 🥹💗 now she does it…

Do all men moan everyday

My partner moans from the moment he wakes up till he goes to bed about stuff about mundane things. He is SO negative and it is draining the life out of me. I know my Dad was the same growing up and I just want to know is this just something as a woman we need to live with , is it normal? Is it just a man thing?

Hitting

If your little one is hitting you, how are you dealing with it? Honestly I don’t even know what to do anymore. He slaps me, hits me, throws things at me, and it’s getting to me so much. I’m a single mum so I don’t have any help at home, it’s just me and my LO, and I feel like I’m 🤏🏼 this close to having a breakdown

Head banger

My 15 month old constantly moves and bangs her head on the side of the crib. It doesn’t wake her up but wakes my husband and I up. Any suggestions to help her from hitting her head? Bumpers? Mesh? Wait it out?
