Don’t wanna miss a thing - Aerosmith lol

I sing it to him every morning and he start kicking me every time

Anything frank sinatra

Anything and everything, lol. I didn't know I was pregnant until almost 12 weeks along, and all I did every day was listen to music and dance while I was at work. Now, anytime I dance and listen to music at almost 33 weeks, baby doesn't stop moving. 🤣

Idk if it was a favorite in the womb, but I would sing my girls to sleep with "La-La-Lu" from Lady in the Tramp. It's the song the mother sings to her baby ❤️

I don’t ever sing but whenever I play Black and Yellow he starts dancing around in there lol 😆😂

My daughter twinkle twinkle my son happy birthday

My first son was “Wasteland, Baby!” By Hozier. This baby is another Hozier song (unintentionally) “I, Carrion (Icarian)”

Anything Kenny G

The only song I have noticed my daughter move to is "bottoms up" with Niki Minaj
But my preferred song I play more often is "Scars to Your Beautiful."

For me it’s been vitamin string quartet’s cover of Circles by post Malone. And also Zach Bryan’s I remember everything. I came across that song on a TikTok and she instantly started kicking now every time I play it she starts kicking

Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, now that he’s out we sing Fly Me to the Moon a lot… he also seems to like Defying Gravity from Wicked 😂

I never noticed during the pregnancy but somehow after my second was born we found out that her favorite song was Hollywoods Bleeding by Post Malone. I don't remember listening to it that much when I was pregnant maybe once a car ride or something but it was the surefire thing that soothed her for the first few months when we exhausted all the other options.

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Car seat

No idea which car seat to get next. Please hit me with your recommendations, 1year+ (preferably rear facing or 360). Thank you 🫶🏻

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.
