A card... lol x

A card from bubba and a card from hubby plus shoes. It was a lovely surprise

I got a card, and we went to the garden centre to choose a new house plant and pot, as well as enjoying a coffee and cake in the cafe! Now enjoying a glass of wine and box of chocolates, whilst baby naps on me 🥰

Ahaha I got nothing 😂xx Looking at some of these gifts tho and I might order them for myself ahha 😂❤️ Happy Mothers Day everyone xx 😘

I was worried my partner wouldn’t do much so I dropped a few hints but I got a lovely card - personalised, a terrys chocolate orange 😋😋, a best mummy mug (which was a bit of a joke present as we always say we absolutely do not need any more mugs lol), some perfume and then my favourite was a photo book which made me cry so he didn’t do bad at all then I also got some daffodils which is a tradition I’ve always had with my mum to get her daffodils for Mother’s Day and I want my little girl to carry on that tradition with me as I wont need to have extravagant presents each year just those and breakfast in bed with a cuddle will be our tradition from now on 🥰🥰

My partner was away on his stag weekend for mother's day but we had a lovely bbq the Thursday before and he got me some lovely gifts from our LO....
There was alot of prompting though lol x

My wonderful neighbour’s handed in a beautiful bunch of flowers and chocolate as it was my 1st Mother’s Day. Beautiful kind people x

Is my child delayed ?

Recently had parent evening for my child (4 in June) and the teacher said she is not where she should be she does not know her shapes, letters or numbers.

My child is able to show me where shapes are on a poster for example if I said find the rhombus she would find it however if I i said name it she couldn’t,

On a number line if I said “find number 4 she would find it” but she is not able to count to 4 correctly but she could show on her hands 80% of the time.

She can recognise letters around 15 correctly but will not say the alphabet.

The teacher also mentioned she doesn’t hold a pen correctly but I have seen her hold a pen with pincer grip and use them in both hands correctly.

I’ll post an image of what educational based supplies we have in the Comments please tell me if we can add anything 🙂

Am I tripping 🤔

My friend wants me to watch her daughter 3 days a week 430 to 630 I told her I need $20 every time I watch her because I have 5 kids I have health problems am I wrong ? She saying she don't got it so I feel like I shouldn't do it then is that bad?

Do you feel like your husband/ partner puts the same level of care into parenting, cooking, cleaning etc when it’s his “turn” in comparison to you?

I’m having such a hard time lately because it’s become so embarrassingly obvious that my husband just doesn’t care as much as I do. I feel like he compares himself to his own dad or other men in his life who walked out or do the absolute bare minimum so in his mind he’s excelling, and that watching his mom struggle as a single mom doing everything growing up has conditioned him to be almost blind to the labor of women like it’s just expected. I’ve talked to him about this multiple times and it will get better temporarily sometimes but not long at all

Advice?

I don’t feel like a good mom. I’m a mom but I don’t feel as present as I need to be. I have an addiction to my phone ever since my son passed. Growing up it’s how I distracted myself and it’s just gotten worse. I use to be on my phone every now and then before but now it’s constant almost. I still play with my toddler but I get bored easily and I don’t look forward to doing stuff. I’m a couch potato who scrolls. I hate it. I recognize it and I hate it. I don’t go out anymore unless needed besides outback. I don’t bake desserts anymore. I feel lazy. Yes I have a therapist but I never say what I need to when I’m there and I have to bring my toddler so it just doesn’t work out how I imagine.

I’m trying to be the best mom I can be but I struggle. I struggle so hard and at this point I am disappointed in myself because I imagined so much for our life and I can’t even be the mom I need to be. Even my mom who lived in the living room and didn’t play with us at least was a present mom. I checked out. I hate it.

Nothing can top Bluey, but...

What other shows do you watch with your kids? It doesn't have to be for very young children; they LOVE the movies Jaws and Jurassic Park. And i live the 90's entertainment from my youth. Shows like Wild Kratts and Stinky and Dirty hold their attention, but they need something new because when they search for shows themselves, they find the worst! The screen is rampant with brainrot, where are those hidden gems??

honestly 🫤

i keep coming up with excuses for potty training my 3 year old and i don’t know why
i do it for like a day or two and end up putting her back in nappies and I know i need to and she need to be potty trained and I know i’m not helping her i literally know all of it but i don’t know why i’m not doing it… my partner keeps telling me i need to do it over and over and he gets annoyed and i feel guilty but Why dont i do it!!😔idk why i cant just do it and stick to it i’m confusing her too just starting over and over again
