I know the feeling! My husband works two jobs, one in the day time, one at night, and i work full time, our schedules are so different, although we text and FaceTime often, it get can feel lonely :/

You are not the only one! I love my daughter but I need adulta interactions! Sometimes I feel like a single parent raising 2 kids

SAHP isnt for everyone! Is there a career or passion that would motivate you?

I spend all day doing housework and playing with my little girl I go to baby groups a lot to get out feel free to message me 😊

Just moved to a new country and my husband is at work while I am home with my lovely son. It is hard to find new mom friends and sometimes it makes me sad not having spoken to anybody the whole day until he comes home. Try to leave the house as often as I can for any kind of baby activity but still it is a looong day. I feel you!

SAME! My husband goes to work and school and doesn’t get home until late, so i know exactly how you feel

Needing advice

I just found out im pregnat with my partner again

I have other kids that arent his

Is it wierd he says to me he always need to have the weekend at his house with his kids because he needs a break from my other kids, but he tells me he wants to be with me forever and stuff but says he needs a break am i just overreacting

Curious about the screen time epidemic

Tell me what your family does

Screen-Free

Any other moms doing no screens? How do you get anything done or deal with the crying?? I feel like I never get a moment for myself or to even do things that need to be done like cleaning or cooking. My baby loves to be held all day but hates carriers. No judgement please! We are trying to do no screens for the first two years. Sometimes I have to just let him cry for a bit while I do something for myself and it feels awful. And let's not even get into the screaming in the car...I don't know if it's true and I feel kinda bad for saying this but I feel like screen-free parents just deal with a lot more crying 😞

Nursery and eating off the floor

My boy starts nursery next week at 12m. He loves to practice his pincer grip. He loves to practice eating. We just went for nursery taster and he spent the time outside trying to eat sticks and dried leaves. We stopped him but i was worried the nursery staff were too busy with the sick kids to notice.

Editing to add - there were alot of staff outside though and it wouldve been harder to be faster than us at stopping him eat things as we were both watching like hawks. They say they have 1:3 ratio of staff and that they would notice.

I'm really worried he will choke on something he shouldn't be eating but he LOVED being outside.

My partner suggested we ask he be kept inside until this phase has passed...is that too much?

Being too sensitive?

I wanted people’s opinions on this and wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation! My husband is being super sensitive over friends and families opinions on who our new born baby daughter looks like. I think it’s ridiculous we are even bickering over this and having heated conversations. A lot of people have said she looks like her dad but some are saying she looks like me and just because he can’t see it, he gets annoyed with them for thinking it. I had a friend that came round to meet her and she said “she’s 100% ALL you” (me), he found this rude and disrespectful. I don’t think it is at all! Everyone sees babies differently and everyone has an opinion. I for sure don’t get upset if someone says baby girl looks like her daddy. It takes 2 to make a baby and she is gorgeous so it doesn’t matter, I’m the one that grew and birthed her but I don’t take offence! We then had a deep conversation and he opened up to me and said because he didn’t have much growing up as a child, he just would have loved our baby to look like him and to carry his features, considering she’s his biggest achievement. He’s convinced all MY friends and family just want her to look so badly like me and not him. (He’s very good looking may I add). I just get anxious every time someone comes round now as I don’t know what they will say regarding who she looks like! This is something I cannot control. He should be proud she’s gorgeous, happy and healthy. What are your opinions on this?!

Newborn play

Can I ask what people are doing in the wake windows with nearly 4 week old baby?
