I don’t think an elementary school teacher should be trying to teach lessons through physical punishments like that. And I don’t want my kids to associate working out with punishment so young. Maybe a gym teacher could but idk?? my husband thinks I’m overreacting when I said I feel like we should email someone about...

Is it lame to have a couple of games and a Craft at a birthday party? Our girls 1st birthday party is tomorrow and we’re doing an Alice in ONEderland theme; we have “pin the smile on the Cheshire Cat” and a piñata….I was thinking of maybe playing some musical chairs and possibly one other thing. Also thinking of hav...

We leave tomorrow, flying few states away and staying 2 weeks, I feel like I’m forgetting to pack something!

My son has been more Handsy with the tree than my 3yr old daughter she's more gentle with the tree than my son. He thinks that the Christmas baubles are toys any ideas how to get him to be more gentle with them. I'm not saying he can't touch them just don't pull on them or take them off.

After watching this documentary it’s actually made me never want to give my LO a smartphone. Limiting screentime for our babies is one thing, but as they get older and all their friends have a phone it will get so much harder to control. I feel so strongly now that every parent needs to push the agenda to ban smartp...

So we have a three-year-old and a five month old and we’re traveling out of state for my husband‘s holiday party. We will be gone 36 hours. It is the very first time that his mother is taking care of our children by herself. She’s never watched our toddler or the baby for a few hours alone, so does anyone have a gui...

I have no idea what I’m getting my son ! I want to get him a car to drive/ride in but I’m thinking of giving him that for his birthday when it’s closer to being warm ! But I’m at such a loss he loves cars and dinosaurs but I want to find something really cool! What are you guys getting your little boys ??

A bit of background info, we are going to travel 8 hours home from where we are working for the holidays. I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have an OB appointment tomorrow, I was thinking about asking the OB if they think its a good idea to try and make the trip. The reason I'm nervous about it is because I'll be 33 weeks w...

Hi all any suggestions on a toy for toddlers? Boy Under £30 Links or photos please 💗

I tried making paper chains with my toddler this morning and it ended in confetti and a fight over tape control. 😊 2 yrs old. Any ideas for Christmas crafts with toddlers? Ornaments? I'm thinking of just cutting Christmas shapes and letting her color. 🖍️

We’ve tried everything to encourage him but he never wants to play quietly alone, not even for 2 minutes. How can we encourage him to play alone sometimes? He has the most lovely toys, which he loves but it’s always “muuuuum can you play with me”, I know someone will say he’s after connection/attention etc but he ge...

Is your LO obbsessed with it like mine is?! She calls it ‘Kakka’ because of the character Makka Pakka 🤣 which is cute, but she says it fairly often because she wants it on the TV. She also loves Super Simple Sings but they drive me nuts on repeat !!! What else do kids our age like to watch?

We will be travelling with our 3yr old from the Uk to Australia in January. We have a stop over in Singapore for a few hours but otherwise they are some looooong flights 😅. Anyone have any tips or tricks (words of encouragement so I don’t die of anxiety!) ??

I’m 32 weeks and the store we have purchased a pram from has called to see when we want to collect. When is a good time to bring it home? We have gone with the travel system so obviously I know we need the car seat first. However at what point is it not bad luck to bring it home? 😂

Hi all! We will be flying to Florida from CT with our almost 5 month old for Christmas and I’d love to know some of your travel essentials for infants! It’s not a terribly long flight but I’m definitely nervous and preparing for it to be a chaotic journey… would love to hear any hacks and tips as well as items that ...

What’s your favourite?

So I just found out today that my son (18 months) has had no time to play outside at all at nursery, bear in mind he’s there from 8’ish to 5 so it’s a long time to go without having any fresh air! When I asked why I was told, “because of the weather…” which I personally think is absolutely ridiculous! Being a teache...
