LO always mardy recently

Anyone else finding this for whatever reason? LO is just grumpy more often than not. She’s glued to me 24/7 so I’m getting stressed myself and she’s also been poorly which is another factor of the grumpiness I know.

But I can’t do anything without it being a scene of crying and paddying, even when dad is home! She never used to be like that. Not really interested in playing and just seems to go about the day shaking her head no or saying no to anything🤣🥲 she used to be so happy and chilled and just the last few weeks she’s taken such a turn! I’m not sure what’s happened🤯

Same!! I was wondering if it was just us because we've gone through some changes recently as well as an illness. However i feel like i am on egg shells. Last night we has a huge tantrum because he wanted his teddy in the bath with him. It's the worst tantrum/screaming match ever 😢😅. I am hoping it's just a passing phase 🤞

My little girl is the EXACT SAME! She has always been so happy, has also recently been poorly… I was changing her nappy the other day and she was crying and I noticed her top molars coming through either side which I think is the source of the moodiness 😂 x

Oh yes mine is the same! No to EVERYTHING! but her bottom molars are so puffed up ready to come through I think that’s not helping 🫠🫠

the toys of teething 🦷🤣 my little girl has got hers coming through too x

is the worst!! They are taking forever to come though, also have moodiness with 1 nap and early mornings. Not fun! I took a picture of her smiling and you could see how puffy they were bless them! X

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.

Looking for recipes you use in your family that are not the traditional lasagna, shepards pie, ect

If you DO NOT buy things second hand, it is mainly because:

Answer only if it applies to you.

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅

Baby groups?

Hello there!!
I hope you enjoying the 5month babies 🫠 the cuteness outweighs everything over here.
We live in the area of Croydon & need to start going to baby groups ( I NEED it more than him though) but I am a little bit clueless. Any recommendations?
We are happy to travel a bit too.
Thanks ☺️

Hiiii!

Hey yall! I’m Mahala and socially awkward as hell. I’m looking for other moms to connect with to hang out in person or on FaceTime. Drink coffee while the kids destroy the house. Literally anything. Making friends is hard in motherhood when you don’t know how to talk to people. I’m pretty low maintenance friend and we can talk whenever. And I’m down to do anything within reason. Let’s chat!
