for the past 2 days my son’s daycare have been telling us he’s been refusing his lunch which is odd because he hasn’t shown this behavior at home. i’m not sure if it’s a developmental change or he’s just going through a phase but this isn’t like him. he’s 15 months, 16 saturday. anyone else experienced this?

I’m a new Mum to a wonderful little boy (4 months). I was on the receiving end of a lot of fear mongering comments whilst pregnant…”you’ll never sleep again”, “you’ll hate your partner”, “you’ll hate your body,” “the newborn stage is so awful”. None of which has been true so far, although I appreciate its early days...

How do we feel about screen time? I don’t like my son watching tv and if I do decide to put it it’s like 20-30 min a day. I live with my mother and she constantly puts the tv on for him no matter how much I tell her no and it pisses me off. She claims that he needs to watch tv so he can learn (and i don’t care if ...

Does anyone have recommendations for an indoor play area for toddlers? Bonus points if there is a coffee shop in it or nearby! I’m looking for somewhere my 18 m/o can play indoors as it becomes colder in the mornings and darker in the evenings. The only spots I’ve heard of are in north county/30+ minute drive, hopin...

My daughter is almost 19 months, I have been very fortunate to have this time with her (I decided to quit my professional job as couldn’t see it working part time) we are together 247 but recently my mother has been having her the odd day to get used to the change that is about to happen I’ve been fine getting house...

I've been seeing alot of posts lately about the amount of poos and teething. What's the correlation ? Can anyone enlighten me as I am clueless

Send help 🫠 toddler is currently only eating select fruits and vegetables and yogurt. Refusing all pastas, meats/fish, anything new/unfamiliar is completely off the table. Won’t even touch chicken nuggets when they were his favourite previously!

Does anyone else find that their friends without babies just don’t get it I have a friend that’s pressuring me to come to her birthday outing in the evening/night time and I’ve explained that I can’t afford it because maternity pay is horrible and it’s Christmas etc, also I’m breastfeeding and if my husbands worki...

So my partner is super weird with his phone. Has been the whole time we've been together, really. Sometimes, he's more relaxed about it, and other times, he's ridiculously protective. For Eg, on a few occasions, he has left his phone open and facing up when he has left the room. Normal right. Most of the time, he...

Does anyone know if they are bringing in 30 free childcare for 9 months old or is it staying at 15 hours? I can't seem to find an up to date article or anything on the Gov website.

What activities are you doing at home with your energetic toddlers?

Hello Beautiful Mommas, My 18months old started refusing all the foods he loves eating all at the same time. Could this be teething issues or what please? Is anyone else experiencing this at the moment? What do you advise? Also, please I would like to know what other drinks you offer your toddlers aside water and...

I know it’s pretty early but curious if anyone has started incorporating basic education in their daily routine with their child . For example just teaching alphabet, numbers etc. in a more structured way rather than through fun and games. Like do you have a set up for study etc. would be interested to know what you...

My sister in law has 4 brothers, my husband included. Each brother has a long-term significant other, including me. Can someone explain to me why this woman hates ALL of us? She has an issue with every single one of her brother's gf/ wife. What's that about? We all try to be cordial and civil with her, and she's jus...

Background - Child will probably be around 2y6m once visits start. Dad is only interested in every other weekend, I personally don't think this is fair on our child. She is currently with me and my partner 24/7 and has the stability with us here. I don't think only every other weekend is enough for a child so youn...

Should i confront my MIL how I did not like that she took the opportunity to throw my partner and her grandson a party while i was away? Clearly throwing a party while i am away speaks volumes. Also, my baby was only 11 weeks old and she exposed him to RSV, FLU, and COVID! Let me not forget to mention that he did in...

Any recommendations on toys for 6 months old for Christmas time? I have no idea what to get her first time mom here!

My LO has never been a big or good eater. We struggled to wean, with textures and took us a really long time to get to the point I could say she was enjoying food. Up until last week, she was having a full meal for dinner, fruit, yogurt and a little dessert. This lasted about a month. She got chicken pox last week...

TL;DR: AITA for being upset that my fiancé (now husband) paid for a private dance in a strip club on his stag do (/bachelor party)? My (31F) husband’s (39M) stag do was abroad this summer, 2 weeks before our wedding. When he arrived home afterwards we spent the day together, with him telling me all about what he’d ...
