Mil Nickname

So my mil has a nickname for my baby that I feel uncomfortable with and i have previously explained to her that i didnt like it and gave her other option that i was okay with or just by her beautiful name ! But she keeps calling her that nickname i dont like ! Idk what to do anymore !!! We didnt talk to my in laws for months bc they couldnt deal with boundaries, its been a month and they’re already disregarding what we asked of them! What should i do ?

Id call her twat features or something as a nickname and when she says she doesnt like it id say i dont like what you call my baby but you dont stop that😂

What is the nickname? I'm curious.

Lol

Call her big fat Janet till she stops

Omg in the same situation with my MIL atm. Keep telling my husband to correct her in a nice way, and he just says he doesn’t want to offend her ??? Like what’s offensive. I chose a beautiful name for my son and she just ruins it 🙄🙄 UGH

I would hate that too. Wtf 😭

My FIL does it too because he knows it annoys me. Just let it go and it’ll stop. It’s a control issue for both of you

she calls her mini her , like mini insert mil name , so she calls her a complete different name 😔

omg i never thought of that bc it just makes me mad butnim definitely gonna try this lol

haha did i mention she bougjt this for both of them ! Not me but her !

She did not!!!! That’s a declaration of war

I can only assume she never had a daughter? Living some dream out? Whats your partner think? I’d definitely notice is my mum was being so strange and possessive 🙃

she has a daughter!!!! Her daughter was her first child ! Shes nuts

GIRL SHE WAS PISSED ! Then i just said “I gave her a beautiful name you can call her or any nickname associated with her name works too” HAVENT HEARD IT SINCE 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 took a lot of courage 😭😅

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?
