Honestly I feel like I’m a stuck record with my family. They keep telling me I need to front face my child in her car chair (since she was 1 year old), she is now 2 years 8 months old. I’ve had my husband, my mother, and my mother in law all tell me multiple times that it’s time to front face, and comment about how ...
If your kid was attacked by another child and the kids mother was there and tried to grab your child. The kids are all about the same age. Would you phone the police? Would you go to her house and speak to them? Or something completely else
Whenever I go pick up my son I get told he’s clingy , what do I do ? It’s making me concerned and I feel like when I’m not there they won’t pay attention to my son as he’s too clingy and they may feel a kind of way about him because the other children are not like that . He likes to come near me here and there but h...
My baby is at nursery for 15 hours a week (using the 15 funded hours). I’m going back to work full time next month and was wondering how much I’ll be paying. Roughly how much do you pay if your babies are in full-time nursery every day, after the 15 funded hours and Tax-Free Childcare? Thanks! x
I haven’t stepped foot in a grocery store in almost a couple of weeks to a month. I actively avoid going grocery shopping now bc of how expensive is smh. Either my husband goes or I’ll bulk shop and try to stretch it to make it last. Smh, there used to be a time where I actually didn’t mind grocery shopping and actu...
I was made maid of honor for my cousin’s wedding, which is this October. She’s like a sister and one of my best friends. She also has a matron of honor—her aunt—who’s in charge of the bridal shower, while I’m in charge of the bachelorette. She’s told me exactly what she wants: a brunch followed by a winery visit. Sh...
Does anyone know what this could be? My little one is 3 months and 10 days old, and to be honest, I don’t think it could be a tooth coming in at such a young age. Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
I just wanted to show my toddlers little toy setup we did this weekend he’s officially 14 months old and he loves trucks and cars ❤️🚗
I'm getting more and more concerned about my daughter (20 months) eating at my mil's house, because of her attitudes towards food and body image. My mil is 3 kids- 2 sons (30 & 32) and 1 daughter (21). They've all got some level of disordered eating stemming from how their mum brought them up, e.g. food being a re...
Hey mamas, I need to get something off my chest. Lately, I've been feeling incredibly burnt out and overwhelmed. My little one is almost 17 months old, and lately, he's been going through a phase of throwing things, hitting, and having these intense scream-crying episodes that just won't stop, no matter what I try. ...
Hey mommas how did/ are you helping your kid get prepared for kindergarten? My daughter has only ever known being with me so I do expect some separation anxiety and I’m working on getting her to open snacks/lunch on her own, and trying to teach her emotional regulation and boundaries like say if she wants to play bu...
My MIL is throwing a house warming type bbq for the house she has been living in for almost 2 years. She lives 3.5 hours away and planned it for Father's Day. It's my husband's first Father's day and I was hoping to do something with the three of us (him, our daughter and I). They talk on the phone about once a week...
Anyone else out there just feels alone when it comes to your mental health or if you hurt physically I’ve been taking care of my 3 month old everyday by my self as my husband ducks around on his phone or goes outside and tells me he is “working” when all he is doing is being on his phone and then when you ask for a ...
Hi everyone. My little one is 4.5 months and she’s showing so much interest in food. She is leaning towards food when I have it, trying to grab it and opening her mouth when it’s near. She has really good head control, can sit up well in her high chair (we have been practising) and she is constantly putting everythi...
I always cook for my Mum, I make an effort to cook nice things, never ask her to contribute. She comes over once a week. Never compliments my cooking, doesn’t thank me for cooking. Always leaves a fair amount. I know I’m a good cook but she has the palette of a child. She never offers to cook for us, if we suggest a...
