Bournville/Stirchley mums

Hi
I’ve just moved to the area and was wondering if there were any playgroups anyone would recommend
LOs 4.5 mths

Or if anyone fancies meeting up for a walk, coffee…wine? 😜 😂

Hello! I believe there is a stay and play in Stirchley baths and one in the St Francis church in Bournville on Fridays. I haven't been to either yet (my LO is 3months).

There is a good parents walk organised by NCT on Thursday mornings at Rowheath Pavilion. I regularly go to that, it's a nice group.

Hi Lindsay,

I’m on the bournville/selly oak border and I believe there are a few classes at sense touch base pears in selly oak, and also some classes at Rowheath pavilion

I am still pregnant but due end of September
Always up for a walk and looking forward to wine again 🍷 x

Both of these 👆are suitable for toddlers but have a baby area too.

If you’re looking for regular classes to go to then there’s loads in the area: baby sensory, rhythm time, glow bugs, moo music, tots play.

Hope to find something you like!

Walks I don’t mind I live in hall green

I'm not a Bournville or stirtchley mom I'm actually Kings Heath way, but am happy to meet up for walks 🥰
Group wise have a look at baby sensory Birmingham South. Those classes I cannot recommend enough, I think your closest may be row heath pavillion maybe, but honestly my little boy loved them, and really came out of his shell when he went to them. He's now in toddler sense as he'd just graduated from baby sensory and he loves that too. X

Hi, not sure if anyone is still active on here, but I’m a mum to a 21 month old with second baby due in the next few weeks. We’re looking to buy a property in Bournville and have seen a couple today we really liked! Just wondering what the area is like with young children?

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

Favorite recipe rn?

I need more ideas for dinner, what yall cookin up in the kitchen these days ?

Dads app!

I have been using this app for the last 6 months ish and found it brilliant for advice and making friends. My partner though doesn’t have any male friends who are dads and I was wondering if anybody knows of anything similar to this app that he could use to find some other dads local to us, to chat to/get advice/make friends etc. anyone any ideas? ☺️
