Toddler kitchen tower

Wondering whether to get one as my little girl and I are starting to do lots of baking and she wants to “help” all the time. Anyone have one? Are they worth it? And are they safe? Have a fear my girl would throw herself over the edge in a tantrum 🥴

We have one from Etsy and absolutely love it! We use it every day, she can safely climb in and out now xx

We got my son one when for his 1st birthday and he uses it loads, it's a great buy!

We also bought one from Etsy, little boy loves it, after seeing him on it I have no worries of him falling out of it, he's very safe x x

We got one for my daughters first birthday and she loves it. Uses it all the time. She learnt very quickly how to climb in and out safely 😊 we got this one https://minerakids.co.uk/products/learning-tower-kids-step

We have and our sons loves it. He has never tried to grow himself off and will climb off (sit down and slide out) if he has had enough.
We also bought one that had an attachable slide and he using the two things every day.

I have one for my son and honestly the best purchase, he loves it, he feels involved and before I was constantly having to pick him up so he could see what I was doing in the kitchen, because he wants to 'help' too. And he learnt really quickly how to safely climb on and off of it. I found it much safer than just using a chair.
They are very safe and sturdy, I bought mine from Robert Dyas, I'm in the UK.

They are brilliant and ours gets used regularly for baking and even playing with water at the kitchen sink! 100% recommend them.

In totally looking at getting one for my son! They're just sooo expensive and they don't come up second hand very often. But I have seen an IKEA hack online I might do if I can't find one

Love ours. My little girl does do acrobatics on it though so i'm hoping she gets over that phase soon 🙈

I did the ikea hack a few weeks ago and my little one loves it!!

I’ve just bought one from marketplace as one of my Lgs birthday presents 😊

it was one from Etsy

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
