We want to plan a trip for this summer to enjoy some quality time as a family of 3. Will probably be in April or May. Any suggestions? Ideally less than a 5 hour flight from NYC.

My 15 month old fell from top to bottom of the stairs earlier. I had the stairs blocked and both me and my mum were up there with her but in separate rooms. I looked away for maybe 10 seconds and could hear her in the bathroom banging on the toilet seat. Next thing I heard was her falling down the stairs after she’d...

We are due to have our first baby on 15th July. My mum got engaged last week, and they are not wanting to hang about to get married. The dates they are proposing are in September, and the location 3hrs drive away from home. She’s currently in the middle of a 45 day cruise on a different time zone to us… but I fear ...

Find lunch the hardest meal… I feel like I only alternate between scrambled eggs, avocado & toast or pancakes fruit and yoghurt… any other ideas lol

For snacks, crafts, to set down water bottles to easily come back to, etc. I’m too lazy and don’t feel like scrolling endlessly through Amazon/reading reviews! Haha I have 2 toddlers, and would prefer wood. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions! TIA!

First off I care for my step daughter and I don’t hate when she comes over it’s just that I have a daughter (her half sis) and honestly I’m just enjoying being a mom . I feel like with sd I’m constantly having to watch my back or what I do in order to keep the peace , be liked, set a “good example” not that I do any...

Personally, I’ve never attended bt I don’t ever want to attend either cuz I don’t care to be reunited with any1 from highschool. And I never went college so I wanna know how many of u actually go or wud want to go to their school reunions? Also curious why reunions are only usually organized for high school & colleg...

Okay so I’m currently a SAHM, my partner works but when he’s home he also has little responsibilities, some examples are he’s repsonsible for taking out the trash when the bin gets full as far as any household upkeep. Everything else I do. I cook and clean every single day. He does the dishes when I do bedtime routi...

I wasn’t planning on to, and have never done it, but the teachers at my son’s school have mentioned it a few times, and I just wanted to know everyone’s take on this,

We are really late and my girl only started using toilet/potty since December. It’s going great with pees, hardly any accidents and she goes in nursery and in public without problems. But she still doesn’t want to poo on toilet or potty. She is just doing it in mornings when she still has her nappy on , if I take i...

Grandparents watched five-year-old, gave her a Taco Bell burrito at 1 o’clock then no food until I picked her up at 6

In my 4th month of weaning my daughter, I started this journey when she was 6 months, she’s now 10 months. It’s been a really enjoyable experience so far she’s doing really well with different textures, colours, taste! She gets so happy about trying different foods, makes me happy seeing how much of a foodie she is!...

I just got offered a full time job and although I am excited I’m also very sad. My son will have to go to daycare. He is currently 10 months and will be starting by the time he’s almost 1. My heart hurts knowing I won’t be there as much. How do working moms do it ? This is already so hard and I haven’t even started

I had the worst experience today during my daughter’s 1 year review. She’s on the 99th percentile and has been for a long time now (since she was about 5-6 months old). She is formula fed due to a traumatic birth, weaned at 6 months and there’s not been one food that she doesn’t like which is amazing and I’m so prou...

I know this sounds like a silly thing to worry about but my baby starts nursery soon and her nursery provides breakfast, so part of me is wondering whether to just skip her breakfast on the days she goes in to save time? Because I’ll be in such a rush and I’ll already have to wake up extremely early! But also wonder...

I got a call from my sister in law while I was getting my little one ready to head out the door. My son was at recess, and another kid had him pinned against the fence repeatedly punching him in the stomach. My sister in law was freaking out and yelling out the window for this kid to stop. Screaming at the teachers ...

I’m a pretty low maintenance friend. My mental health pretty much keeps me at bay but I am trying to work on it💪 I don’t really have any hobbies or many interests just trying to stay alive every day for my babies so it all keeps me exhausted on the daily😅surely im not the only one tho and if I am, then that’s even…

Has anyone been to both? If so which do you recommend both are the same distance away from us but not sure which one is better for a day out? Thanks

For those of you that are now giving solids, how are you working this alongside the bottles? How many bottles are you giving and with how many meals? Has your baby dropped any ounces or even a whole bottle? For some reason my mind has gone completely blank to when I weaned my daughter a few years ago and I just can...

Hi 👋 How long in advance do you need to secure a place at a nursery in Sheffield? I am currently in second trimester.
