Just a rant.. and maybe opinion. My partners parents live as a big family in the house and there is a 2 year old that always seems to be ill. Every time they due to visit someone is ill and they starting to feel poorly too so I get a message asking if it’s still okay for them to come. I say no as I would rather him ...

Applying for primary schools for my daughter for next year. What are your opinions? Unsure which is better. The academies I’ve researched have better performance standards etc.. This is all brand new to me and I’m clueless 🤣

Is anyone planning a baby moon holiday and if so, where are you going? I’d like to get a holiday in before baby arrives in June (hopefully we’ll go March ish time) Kind of worried about going abroad but still tempted, only places warm but without Zika and within a reasonable flight time seems to be Canaries or sou...

In laws didn’t show up to my son’s 2nd birthday last month because they decided to create drama. Long story that I don’t feel like explaining. Now they’re sending money as a Christmas gift and acting like they never did anything wrong. Are we obligated to forgive them and act like they never did anything wrong?

Is anyone else absolutely petrified of weaning? My little boy is showing all the signs so we’re going to start weaning; he’s tried purées and I never know how much to give him at the moment it’s just half a pouch every other day as “first tastes”. I’m scared to start anything he needs to chew in case he chokes but I...

Years of future therapy 😭 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DD-_t-HqczI/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I really hate that part of me thinks this is kind of funny. 😭 Poor kids are terrified.

My 3mo old fell from the bed (its pretty high in my opinion..) i fell asleep breastfeeding her and i seriously dont know how this even happened. Im a light sleeper, and i always make sure to be as centered as possible to avoid edges.. i dont even remember grabbing her and putting her on that specific side to nurse.....

My 23 month old was baby led weaned and has always thrown his food on the floor but lately he throws it on the floor and also eats it off of the floor he refuses to sit and eat in his high chair and will climb out even when strapped in, is this normal behaviour? My parents tell me it is my fault because I trained hi...

What’s ‘normal’? Day 1 - 3 accidents, day 2 - 3 accidents and day 3 - 2 accidents. Is this fairly normal? Are we going in the right direction by the sounds of it? The accidents don’t upset LO and sometimes they just been because she hasn’t held it all long enough to get to the potty

Is anyone else still breastfeeding and finds little one prefers boob to food? My little one usually ate well, but he’s been poorly with colds on and off, flu & HFM since November. He’s definitely lost his appetite throughout. He’s seemed to get better this past week however does not want to eat. Today he’s ate a b...

I’m running out of dinner ideas for my toddler! She seems to eat the same things every week, I have a 4 month old too and work full time so don’t have a lot of time to make creative meals on a budget.. any ideas?

We got sick so my bro denied us to his place for xmas and presents on mas eve due to not wanting to spread sickness and so we'd reschedule He called today saying they've got so much to do and people to see and will be close by and wondered if he could drop off gifts and pickup gifts but not hang out. I'm like, u...

This will be long sorry. Is anyone else's going through a "bad" behaviour phase. He's currently TERRIFIED of bed and screams (literally) all night. I attempt to settle him and even ask him to talk to me about what he wants but he just screams (i don't mean crying, I mean ARRRGGHHH) repeatedly and this goes on all th...

My almost 14m has suddenly become very clingy ? Dad will want to take him or hang out with him but he just wants to come to me or if I leave the room keeps whinging for me. Apart from his attachment to me , he’s suddenly become very whingey too (never used to be!) Anyone else?

I am SO fed up with changing poopy pull-ups and I just LOST it today and stripped down my LO to go completely bare lower half. I set 15-20 min timers to put her on the potty and have been watching her like a HAWK and asking her every few mins if she needs to go pee. She’s been saying no and also has ran to the pott...

Every time I make a meal for my toddler he refuses to eat it and spits it out. He was never like this until a month ago? Example now I made some roasted potatoes, carrot, chicken and veggies. He refused to eat it. So I made him plain pasta with cheese and he’s eating it? The only time he eats anything is when it’s a...

I’m at the point in life where I’m just tired of everyone , I’m 27 weeks and this month has been terrible for me smh 🤦🏾‍♀️. My stamps where supposed to hit today and now I’m gonna go all day without eating because litterally nobody can help me .. I been applying to jobs but it’s like nobody is hiring. My mom moved…

My son has amazing teachers and they’ve truly helped him so much in the few months he’s been there and I wanna get them something for the holidays but I’m thinking of doing a group gift cause there’s a lot of them and I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas for what I could get?
