Toddler & Child

The person who cleans my house has went off on maternity leave. I went to an agency and they sent someone who cleaned the house very well but she is someone I went to school with and she was quite mean to me and at certain points made me dread going to school. Obviously this was a very long time ago and I’m not hold...

What are your thoughts and opinions on this situation: If your child (5 years old) spent Christmas without you (father, mother plus newborn brother) at his grandma’s (mother in law) house to open presents? Backstory: I gave birth 2 weeks ago to our second baby. We (husband and I) both agreed we won’t be traveling ...

First time mum, 38 weeks today. I was talking to my husband about visitors when our baby boy arrives and he suggested us taking the baby over to his mum’s within the first two weeks of him being here. For some context we live in an annex at my parents and his mum, who doesn’t drive, lives about 10mins away. I was ve...

Meant to be going to my in laws today for Christmas. My sister in laws daughter is 6 and a high temp all week (close to 40) it’s now 38 and I just don’t know what to do. Would you go or stay home? My baby girl is 3 weeks and already is snotty from her 2 year old brother 😔

She brushes her teeth morning and night why is this happening?? 😩😩😩

For those that don't go, does your spouse still go or not? And does he get mad that you don't want to go? I don't want to go, but I want him to go. To enjoy the house without fighting with him about this would be great.

For any babies not yet 6 months old, is anyone giving them a bit of mashed carrot or something on Christmas Day for a little celebration of Christmas?

My husband has been working 12 hour days 6 days a week for the last week. He works at his family business so he has to be very hands on during their busiest time.

And I hate the idea of it. I hate the idea I have to return to work. These past two weeks, I needed to find work and go on interviews; and this Christmas week I have to return to work for a few hours each day. My baby boy seems to remember I am constantly leaving the house without him (and leaving him with my siste...

Yall I don’t know what to do. It’s 2:30 am. I just spent an hour breastfeeding my 5 week old (which normally he only takes half an hour to feed, 45 minutes if he sleeps a longer stretch, which he didn’t even sleep 2 hours between feedings this time) and he’s still wide awake and is crying.
