Blues clues and Team Umizoomi were hits for my littles at that age

I hear great things about bluey

My daughter loves Bluey!

I actually watch Ben and holly with my daughter I think I enjoy it more than she does 🤣

Bluey is fun for kiddo and parents alike!

My kids (3 and 1.5) both currently love Blue's Clues, Sesame Street, Daniel Tiger and Teletubbies

And Bluey!

My kids love Octonauts! They love it so much we bought the first 4 seasons for them to watch and the books for them to read.
They also enjoy watching educational shows like Numberblocks, Alphablocks, and Hey Duggee on YouTube. Some fun YouTube channels they enjoy are Pokemon Kids TV, Babybus, Pinkfong, and Cocomelon.
Team Umizoomi, Lucas the Spider, and Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood are a few of my kids favorites that are/were on conventional TV networks.

Sarah and Duck, baby/ kids Einstein and Elmos world. My son is 16months.

Out of the box is a fun one on Disney+

Bluey, my little pony, ms Rachel

My 14 month old watches Ms. Rachel on YouTube sometimes. It’s the only thing he will watch lol probably a good thing!

We ❤️ our PBS shows like Curious George and Sesame Street. MIL introduced them to Ms. Rachel and they are obsessed!

My 3 year old is obsessed with paw patrol. I make the boys take turns with the tv but when it's my 1.5 year olds turn I typically put it on YouTube and put in have fun teaching and they watch abcs, shapes, colors, etc. Hes obsessed with singing his abcs lol also both like Bob the Train on YouTube.

Thank you all soooo much! We started Bluey today and after 5 minutes of them
begging for their regular shows it finally got their attention enough! I’m going to try all of these shows suggested and see what they enjoy the most! Really appreciate it

A girl at playcare loves the wiggles

Theres one called Miss Moni and she sings nursery rhymes in a very engaging way. I even cath myself singing along with her has well. Theres also Paisleys Corner she is pretty good has well and she doesnt just sing nursery rhymes so if your tired of listening to nursery rhymes yourself then you should try Paisley Corner.

My 5 month old loves Gracie's Corner on YouTube

Grated courgette and carrot mixed in with onion and mince and a little bit of tomato puree. 😋

My daughter has become a little fussy and prefers anything she can hold so made these today for lunch! She’s 14 months old 🩷

Appropriate age to go out

I am the kind of person who struggles with being at home all day, not good for my mental health. I have a 1 month old and I am trying to start doing things with her. Like going ti the park, running errands. But people seem surprised and kind of judgy that I am out with the baby at her age. Is this wrong?

Am I wrong for getting upset?

Long story short. My cousin made a group chat for bridesmaids and groomsman to plan out bachelorette party.
I sent one text about finding a sitter and my cousin texts me to stop saying stuff like that cause no one gives a shit? As if no one else is gonna mention their personal lives during planning a trip of 10 people?
I. Put the screenshots. I got so hurt I told her just count me out if the mention of my kid offends everyone.

Roles between a sthm and a working partner?

I started wondering if our arrangement makes any sense. When I was pregnant I saw a cute video of a couple where they sleep seperately, the mom takes care of the baby during the night, the husband wakes up early in the morning takes over so the woman sleeps a bit before he gets to work I suggest this arrangement to my husband and we both liked it. Since I gave birth to my 22 month old boy, we are sleeping separately, I’m taking care of everything. My toddler still wakes up during the night every two hours on average. I wake up in the morning to make his breakfast and drive him to the train station and pick him up later in the day. I clean and cook and take care of my boy, with no appreciation or thank you. If I say I’m tired it turns he’d say what are you doing all day or he’d remind me of how he’s paying for everything. I am emotionally and physically exhausted and I don’t feel this is how a team should work.

Having a bit of a sad day

I don’t know if I want advice or just to get it out a bit.
I had a bit of a rubbish Mother’s Day, and then today had a falling out with my mum.
Very long story short, me and my partner turn 30 this year and were thinking of taking a short trip (2-3 days max) just the two of us to celebrate. Our son will be 2 by then.
We had discussed leaving our son with our parents and them sort of splitting having him (eg. My mum has him one night and my boyfriend’s mum has him the other two nights, or whatever we collectively decide on). They are both happy to do this.

Yesterday my MIL was pushing my son’s pram and got distracted and pushed it off the pavement into the road, a car missed the pram by about 5 seconds. This upset me a lot.

Me and my partner discussed this later on and I said it worries me leaving our son with her in case she does something like that. We also discussed the fact that my mum pays very little attention to our son when she’s with him and is absolutely glued to her phone (looking at social media etc) so we might just take him on holiday with us.

Then this morning I had a chat with my mum and told her we would probably just take our son away with us. She asked why and I mentioned the pram thing with my MIL so she said she would just have him- so I thought it was time to mention that when she’s with him she is glued to her phone and gets distracted and that it just worries me a bit. (For reference she’s been watching him before and because she’s been on her phone he’s managed to get half way up her stairs.)
She absolutely lost it at me. Called me rude etc.

I try so hard not to upset anyone and I’m just so so fed up now. I just wish it was simple and we could trust them to take care of him but they are both away with the fairies.

I want to talk to my mum but i don’t know how to approach it now. Just feel like i need a big cry.

Sending my baby to nursery

My daughter is just shy of 6 months old and I'm already feeling horrendously guilty about putting her in childcare for 5 days a week (2 days nursery, 3 at a childminder 8am to 4/5pm) when she's just over 13 months!

Right now, she goes to bed by latest half 7 so I really don't know how I'm going to handle going from being with her 24/7 to only seeing her for max. 2.5hours a day!

Does anyone else feel like this? Does it get any easier? If it wasn't for how expensive everything is nowadays, I'd be a SAHM in a heartbeat!
