My son (2) is in daycare and I work at his daycare. We teach our child consent and always ask him if we can hold, kiss, or hug him before we do so (other than picking him up for safety reasons) and I was told that a teacher said “come here buddy” and he said no then she went to get him anyway and he said “go away” a...

Below is a pic of my front door and…I know it’s dirty and nasty. What cleaning solution would you recommend to remove as much of this dirt as possible. I have used boiling hot water and white vinegar. This helps but it’s not fantastic.

My little one has never really taken to solids, around 8 months he did start eating a bit more, but it's drastically dropped. He's one now and most days will maybe have one or two teaspoons of something and that's it. We offer three meals a day and tried all sorts of foods/ways of serving it. Also tried reducing m...

Has anyone gave their baby the thin rice cake snacks before 6 months? I want to give it to my baby who will be 6 months in a couple of weeks but I’m kinda nervous he will still choke on it

My LB will be 6 months in 2 weeks, I am a 2nd time mum but my first I was advised to wean from 4 months due to ebf and feeding for 50 minutes. I must add I don't and didn't intend to wean 2nd till 6 months. But I'm wondering if these are signs that he's still hungry. My LB sits unassisted and has good neck control s...

My little one hasn’t been eating properly for 3 weeks now! I’m running out of ideas and the only thing she’ll eat is Greek yoghurt 😢 Any tips?

Anyone’s little one just not interested in food and never really has been? At the minute she does have a cold so she literally won’t eat anything soon as you put it near her she turns her head away still drinking milk as normal. Worried because from a year meals are supposed to be their main nutrition my health vi...

My husband got a new job alhamdulillah, and I asked when we were talking about it that is the payment good? I didn’t ask how much or nothing too intrusive but still he became very defensive and told me that’s none of my business. Is this normal? Do you gals know how much your husband earns? Just for context I’m a SA...

I have a 10 year old stepdaughter, my husband has full custody and she sees her mom every other weekend. Over the past few weeks, her attitude and behavior has become increasingly disrespectful towards me. She is constantly telling me “no” or “I’m not doing that” when I ask her to help with chores around the house. ...

Is anybody else’s baby devouring food like there’s no tomorrow? My little girl is absolutely loving trying new foods and different textures😄

So I’m 15 weeks pregnant and I’m really struggling when I don’t have my son with me. He’s recently turned one and I’m struggling when he goes out with his dad to his grandmothers (my partners mother and I don’t get along) it courses so much anxiety and makes me feel so sick and stressed. I just want him to be home. ...

But in all reality my life is like a fucking dumpster fire. I am pregnant. I have a seven-year-old. I’m single parent. My seven-year-old’s father is incarcerated for life for murder. He still thinks we’re together and upset with me because I’m pregnant And The guy that I’m pregnant by is a piece of shit. He alread...

Every morning my son (26 month old) has a cup of milk with his breakfast which he asks for but doesn’t finish the whole cup and I end up chucking it because it will just curdle. So I wash the cup out and give him either water or juice , but he will just sip it and not often enough. I have tried different juices thin...

I'm in such a bad mood right now purely because of the attitude and number of "NO"s I've had to deal with today. And the rude demands. And the refusal to do anything. The latest comment that has pushed me to vent on here being "when's dinner?" "Not for a while yet that's why you've got your snack" "I don't want it p...

My son (19m) has recently become VERY attached to me, so much that he wants no one else near him, he's also suddenly started waking up at 1-2am and then will absolutely refuse to go back to sleep, crying flinging his arms in the air and I'm so tired! Tried everything from night lights, cuddling him, sitting with him...

But also nervous a bit! Because I've got the hidden trenches of my home a messs and I don't usually let anyone see those places! One of the most embarrassing is my master bathroom. I don't even use it anymore it's just so dirty all the time.. my husband only uses it at this point... I periodically try to clean it bu...

So my baby girl was born May 1st so Dec 1st she’ll be 7 months. She absolutely refuses refuses any solids. I can barely get one spoon of a taste. I’ve tried: sweet potatos, squash, peas, banana, avocado, apples, mango, banana in puree form. I’ve also given her bites of food to self feed to see if she’d rather and sh...

A kid around 7 just stole £1 off of my 4 year old and after I got it back I wondered if I should have told his mum. I didn’t cuz I’m no snitch (edit to say this is a JOKE) but wondering what you guys would do ?
