Community Posts, Tips & Support on Toddler & Child

My mother in law has been bugging us to take my son to her hospital for a while now but we always got out of it. Now that he is a toddler (16m) she wants to take him herself. She lives in the street behind us and comes over once a week for 30 minutes just to play, take pictures to show her friends and go home. Neve...

My husband has been having health anxiety at its peak. For the last few weeks I have been trying to support him in every way that I can. He has mistreated me bad in the past saying bad things, so has recently apologised while going through this and we moved on. I have been trying to support him the best I can at t...

Does any else LO get really upset when dropping them to nursery ? Mine screams and cries but as soon as he’s inside he apparently loves it and always comes out very happy at pick up’s. He only does 3 days a week for 4-5 hours. And he is normally with me 24/7 as I am a single full time parent so I am assuming it is...

BD got mad that our 1 year old son high fived a guy while we were out shopping and said I’m an irresponsible mum. Am I in the wrong? Thought it was a harmless interaction btw but because it was another black man similar age to him he said that I should keep my single mother antics away from our kid 🙄

Has anyone been to head over heels on a Saturday afternoon. I'm planning to take my toddler there this Saturday afternoon and was wondering would it be too busy? It's the one near wilmslow, not in Manchester. It's meant to be raining Saturday as well. I've been before but on a weekday. Is it worth going on a Saturd...

My LO started solids a little before turning 6 months old and was eating great. Doing purées mostly with a mixture of baby led weening foods here and there. He is almost 8 months old and the past week or so has not been too big into foods - even purées. Drinking bottles/milk (exclusively bf/pump) just fine though....

My husband has no manners literally doesn’t give a shit what he’s doing or how he Is looking, I don’t usually ever care about stuff like this but it’s getting to the point it’s actually a bit of a put off😫 he sounds like an actual animal when he eats chewing with his mouth open to the point now I can’t sit and eat…

I asked my husband if he could clean the downstairs toilet. For context It’s a tiny downstairs toilet with a toilet and a small basin. His immediate response was “do I have to do it now”. And then “what exactly do you want me to do?”. I said no, not right now, and I just want you to give it a once over. This was a...

My daughter lost her tastebuds but I want take out/ordered in food what would be the best for our sickness?

I met my guy just over two years ago. We were basically inseparable from the moment we met. Our sex life, great. We moved in together got married and now expecting our first. Suffice to say, so much has happened in this amount of time. However, lately he has stated his concerns about the change in my libido, he beli...

A bit of a personal question.. we are just about to move into our first home, I’m not returning to work anytime soon. And my baby won’t be going to nursery until I do.., so no childcare fees. My partner brings home about £4.8k a month & after bills (including travel to work for him which is about £800 a month) we h...

My 21 month old toddler is SUPER clingy and would rather play and do stuff with me but even when I try get her to participate in what I’m doing she always wants me to pick her up the whole time. Although I try to limit screen time as much as possible sometimes it’s been a life saver especially when I’m solo parentin...

Y'all already know we've been having some problems with our new apartment. Well this morning our heat went out. It's the end of November in Ohio, it's pretty cold. I have 2 under 2, the youngest being only 4mo. I called the office about it and an hour later the maintenance man showed up. He'd been here for a little ...

He was poorly a couple of weeks ago with tonsillitis and the flu so I just put it all down to that and then he had some teeth through, but now he's totally better and is still hardly eating? I did him his favourite tonight, fishcake, sweetcorn and potatoes and all he's touched is the sweetcorn, gave him some strawbe...

I know no one’s licensed so I’m not expecting a diagnosis but just to vent and get some input for anyone willing to listen. I have been diagnosed with depression a few times in the past and taken prescription but I guess I’m confused now because it’s not like anything I’ve experienced in the past. I often find mysel...

Anyone already gone back to work or going to work soon? I’m getting pretty nervous. It’s rare that my baby will fall asleep for naps unless he is nursing. And then when he does fall asleep he dream feeds or he wakes up. I’m worried that baby won’t sleep enough and my boyfriend won’t know how to handle it. He already...

Please could people recommend some really easy, healthy meals for me to make for me and little one, I’m really struggling to know what to do, espieically now he’s not having formula

My little one can’t be left alone happily without me putting YouTube nursery rhymes videos on the tele for her. For example when I’m making her breakfast, lunch, dinner, or when I have to go to the loo or do something else that means I’ll be out of the room for a few mins. I’m starting to feel guilty because her scr...

So I just found out that my baby dad may have another child on the way. We’re not together. Recently split up. Baby girls 11 months old. And I don’t know how to feel. I’m so shocked. But explains a lot as to what he was doing while I was doing everything majority of the time by myself. I’m highly embarrassed, never ...

My LO has been showing this since a month ago. Is this normal since she's drooling more too??
