If my baby didn’t keep her socks on and people mentioned it, I’d get annoyed. It is true, babies don’t always need socks. If your baby doesn’t like them, there’s only so much you can do to keep them on unless you get pants with feet 🤦🏽‍♀️

I always make effort to put my baby socks back on if they keep coming off because I just think it doesn’t look great a baby not wearing socks especially in cold weather. There is always the option of putting tights on

Honestly I’ve no idea why they always care so much about socks! It’s the thing I’ve had the most comments on 😂

Omg yes 😫 my son will start trying to pull them off to chew on them as soon as I put them on him. The back seat of my car has at least 10 pairs in it. And my mom fusses when he isn't wearing any, but Id like to see her force him to keep them on 🤦🏻

Yes, so annoying. I will always put socks on if we’re outside when it’s cold but if we’re inside or it’s summer then I’m not gonna bother. It’s better for them to not wear socks when learning to sit, it helps with learning balance and co-ordination. Or the amount of times my mum asks where’s his coat when we’re about to get in the car, infuriating😳🙄

I personally hate seeing babies with no socks on in cold weather and always put my son in tights to keep him warm. But people who comment on it are so annoying x

My baby was over tired and crying but she had kicked her socks off and my in laws were like maybe shes crying because she’s cold? I’ve never been so annoyed, it was a nice day and she was in a long sleeve onesie that covered her legs she had just kicked her socks off. Like i think i know my baby and shes crying because she hasn’t napped because shes more alert and fights going to sleep.

My baby doesn't wear socks in the house because what's the point when it's warm. She also has better grip without as she's standing and trying to figure out climbing and walking.

Yess!! It’s so annoying I don’t keep socks on my baby when we are in the house so she can get better grip when she stands and it’s always brought up how she must be “freezing”

Inside or just in general wearing them?

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?

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

Is it bad of me to think this or no?

My husband has been abroad for work (1 day and exploring for 1 day) for 2 and a half days which means I’ve had both kids (1 year and 4 year old) for 2 and a half days plus cooking, cleaning, taking them to clubs, bedtimes!
He came home late afternoon and said I’m so tired, I just need to chill. I said can you wash up whilst I sort kids dinner out, he said he’ll do it later which means he won’t do it and I’ll end up doing it so I said no do it now please otherwise I’ll end up doing it and he said well you have been home and I’ve been away so you’ve just been relaxing.
Don’t know what planet he is on but having the kids alone for 2.5 days is not relaxing. I was stressed!

When he was away, I did miss him and wanted him to come back but now he’s back, I want him to go away again😂
Is that bad?

Shift worker daddies - advice please?

My husband works shifts (6am-6pm days or 6pm-6am nights) so when he’s on shift we either get about an hour or 2 before he goes to work or an hour or 2 when we gets home with him.

I don’t think people who aren’t married/have babies with shift workers fully understand the impact of feeling like a solo parent sometimes.

Does anyone have any advice? I do have parents who can help but I struggle to leave my baby with others as I always feel like they don’t understand the need for tracking wake windows or feeds and our baby will not sleep unless we black out a room or go for a car drive . Everyone seems to think ‘if he’s tired he’ll drop off’ - no he’ll just get overtired and have to then pay for it during his night sleep. So I feel like it’s just easier for me to do it all myself.

When my husbands off work he is great but I do take the mental load of telling him what to do or even reminding him of wake windows etc because he’s not here and forgets routines. He’s also being tested for ADHD currently so there’s that on top of shift work.

Just looking for advice on how to stay sane/keep routines or share loads with shifts workers?

Thank you ❤️

Feeling like I’m failing

Hey guys, I need some advice or some positivity here!
My daughter is 5 months next week and she has her first tooth coming through! Yay! But for the past month or so she has become so wary of family whenever I go to visit! She screams, won’t settle, cries the whole time. I went for my birthday to celebrate and I had to leave because she just would cry looking at anyone :( it’s so hard because she used to be so good with anyone!

Will this change or is this just the way she is? I try to see them as often as I can, and my MIL is looking after her in two weeks overnight and part of a day and I’m petrified of what’s going to happen, that she’s going to scream. My poor MiL 😭. I’m a very calm and collected person and I don’t get worked up when she does react this way… I just feel so sad and down that I can’t be with family and that my poor girl is scared. I give her so many cuddles, milk, toys, going to a quiet room, but she just doesn’t settle 😭

Please someone say this is a phase and there is light at the end of the tunnel ?!!

With the weather getting nicer I just feel we are going to miss out on so many lovely family memories
