I see your babies having all the fancy plates, all the berries that may I say are currently out of season lol. You broke yet? Mine loves avocados and every expensive fruit you can think of. This bougie taste is making me wanna sign up for bankruptcy 😭🤣🤣🤣
I recently caught up with my sister for the first time in a year (we live 6 hours away). She's a childcare worker and has a lot of opinions. She found out my daughter who is 1 still contact naps during the day and she started to give me a lecture on how she will need to be put down drowsy but awake when she goes to ...
So my baby daddy and I have made some adjustments. Like for example, he started to give the baby baths and feed her at night because he works during the day. We switch out bath and meal time. He tells me about how exhausted he is that he has to come home and do that. If he isnt doing those things 9/10 times he is on...
I am a teacher and send my daughter to an in home daycare that only takes teachers’ kids. They have changed their policies and want us to pay 50% for days the school is closed, such as winter break, is this typical for other daycares?
My 3 month old has gotten super fussy lately. Every time my husband tries to feed him or put him to sleep, he just starts crying nonstop. He was fine before but this started about two weeks ago. He’ll be happy with my husband for a little bit but as soon as he gives him the bottle, it’s like all hell breaks loose. I...

For anyone using the governments new free childcare scheme, does this cover the registration fee you have to pay for nurseries? I was so shocked a nursery requested £200 to complete my registration for the waiting list!!
First time mum, EBF 15 week old. My LO wont sleep unless I feed him to sleep. He wakes up every hour and stays awake feeding on and off for an hour before falling asleep on the boob. If I don't feed him, he cries and fussed for hours - literally won't fall asleep unless held. My back is killing me, I'm in pain. I'm...
Sorry in advance for being long. So I am a sahm of a 17, 13, 9, 7, and 2 year old, with extreme anxiety and depression, I am medicated for it. Sometimes, I just feel like I'm losing touch with reality. I feel so alone in just about everything, and I don't know what to do. I feel a bad panic attack coming on right no...
Made him hamburger helper (his favorite after a crap day) and made vegan Mac and cheese loaded with carrots, butternut squash, and chickpeas for me and toddler (who also won’t eat veggies). I asked him to put away the leftover cheese sauce from the blender while I nurse baby… Him- “I already used it all” Me- “huh? ...
My toddler turns 2 this weekend and honestly this last week has been awful 😩. I can’t even touch her hair without her screaming so brushing it or putting it up is a nightmare. She will kick me and my other half anytime we try to change her nappy and has a full on meltdown and scream when we set boundaries for her…
Any other mommas have a partner/spouse that works out of town so through the week you are basically a single parent?? I love him and I know it’s hard on him to be away from his family but he signs out once he gets back to his hotel. I’m on my own from Monday at 8AM-Friday at 3pm. And it’s exhausting and overwhelming...
My son hates porridge. But after success with baked porridge oat bars, this week I’ve been giving him breakfast crumbles and he LOVES them- just incase you need a breakfast idea to add to your list! They’re perfect for autumn mornings, and a great way to use up all the bits of fruit I end up having left over!
Since watching ‘Bing’, my 2 year old little girls behaviour has got worse. Bing comes across as very whiney, selfish and always moaning and this is exactly the behavioural traits my lg has started to display. I understand that those behaviours are all part of growing and learning boundaries etc but the tantrums are ...
