I ordered mine at 35 weeks it still ain't here xx

there’s 2 I like😂 I given myself till next week to order one. But I’m stressing out so much over it

I bought a second hand one before like 20 weeks 😅

Try not think about it too much they all do the same thing....buy the one that you think looks better idk
But I wouldn't wait much longer!

Let the group vote on a poll which one and then the one with most votes buy that 🤣

I ordered mine at 20 weeks but its not arrived at the shop yet. Its my hospital bag that isn't ready yet x

We have just got the car seat delivered this week. I'm 36 weeks + 2, and we got a 2nd hand pram a few weeks ago. My hospital bag, however, is nowhere near ready, and the baby's stuff is definitely not organised..

I got mine weeks ago but it's stored at my mums (old wives tale about luck) but I still haven't finished the nursery, bagged a bag or bought a changing bag so I'm behind on everything else!

My hospital bag done and the baby clothes are all washed and put away. It’s just the pram and car seat 😅 I’ve decided I’m gonna order the first one I liked tomorrow..

I got mine when I was around 18 weeks but only as there was a good deal on. Try looking in the Black Friday sales. I have the mamas and papas occaro

I got mine quite a while ago. I reckon you should get it asap as you could go into labour any minute and you need the car seat and some of them may not be in stock or delivered for a while x

I’ve got the icandy peach blossom got mine 2nd hand about a week ago but that’s mainly because I’ve got a 1yr old and will obvs have Babba and my other pram the handle was low so was hurting my back me and my partner are tall but it took me months to decide glad I got 2nd hand in the end as would have cost me £800 and that was cheaper on online4 baby xx

Ordered mine at 29 weeks and it said 8-10 weeks, it comes next Tuesday which is the day after I'm induced. We ordered the mee-go pure bundle

Pram and car seat are ordered coming next week!! Hospital bag finally done so I’ll all ready for baby girl to make her appearance now

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..

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 😓

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 😭

Struggling

My husband works and does so much for me and my baby girl. However I get annoyed every time he hops on a video game he usually plays for 1-2 hrs if she's still awake and has like 3+hrs of free time once she goes to sleep (i co/contact sleep). The last time I was able to have actual free time was last month when I tried to turn some onesies into shirts for baby girl to sleep in- and I wasn't able to finish them and haven't picked them up since lol. The only free time I get is while she's napping right next to me where I can't move an inch or breathe too deeply or she'll wake up, or when I shower. Crafting used to be my outlet and now if I were ever to tell him that I need to craft I don't even know what I would do or where to start I just sit there and stare.... just losing myself and I'm struggling with it. Does anyone else feel the same way? What do I do?
