Soft parenting

What are your thoughts on ‘soft parenting’? Personally, the only children I’ve known/seen being soft parented have been right little sh*ts!

How do you manage the TWW?

I'm only 1 DPO, and I'm going out of my mind already, googling everything, or using Chat GPT. How do you keep busy? I have work 3 X this week so that's something but any tips to stay occupied would be great 🙏🏼

Does this look like a good “progression”?

First timer here ✌️😊. I have been ttc for 2,5 years and finally positive. Now I am thinking does this look alright? I am currently halfway through 6 weeks. I don’t really see a development it just looks the same for weeks now? Thanks for any comments on it 🧡.

4 weeks (13DPO)

This was my HCG line this morning. Should I be darker than this at this point? My digital test tells me 1-2 weeks.

Evap line?
