Parking drama, I want to know what people think!

My mum parks across my driveway sometimes (maybe up to twice a week) as there’s limited on street parking nearby.
Someone has been pushing her wing mirrors in, obviously in protest. Her car is older, and the wing mirror has been broken twice by doing this.

See my doodle. The guy doing this lives at the house at the top of the road’s turning circle. He walks the path of the purple line across the turning circle to do it to the car.

The road is not a busy road at all, it’s a short culdesac/dead end road. The pavement by my driveway is blocked by a bush and a lamppost (drawn in my pic lol), and any pedestrians would need to go on the road anyway to get past, even if her car wasn’t there. There are no obstructions on the pavement on the other side of the road.

Do you think what he is doing is fair??

Does anyone else feel this kind of guilt?

I’m going back to work in a couple of weeks—just two days a week—and my 8½-month-old has started her settling-in sessions at nursery. Yesterday was her second one, and it honestly broke my heart.

She’s breastfed but will take expressed milk from a bottle (as long as it’s not from me). When I picked her up, she was absolutely screaming—she’d clearly been crying for a while. Her hair was damp with tears, her eyes were red, and she was so upset. She’d refused her bottle, even though the staff member trying to feed her was a breastfeeding mam herself, and she’d just woken up from a nap too.

She’ll only be going once a week, as my mother-in-law will have her on the other day I’m working. But I can’t shake the feeling that I’m being cruel… I just don’t know if she’s going to settle. Once she gets really worked up, she’ll only calm down with someone she knows, and it took me a good 10 minutes to soothe her after I picked her up.

My mother-in-law has offered to have her both days, and I’ve said I’ll consider it if she doesn’t settle at nursery after a month—especially since my little one absolutely loves being with her.

But I keep questioning myself… am I making the right decision sending her to nursery at all? 🤍

You just changed your baby’s diaper, but realise you have to use the bathroom. Do you wash your hands..

Should I make a poll series on hand washing because I’ve been here long enough to know it’s not happening as much as it should lol

When you had a baby and you decided to breast feed did you feel that nurses were pushing formula?

My baby is not even 2 days old and she's been nursing super well according to the lactation specialist. She was born by c section so weight loss is expected to be higher than by vaginal birth due to the fluids given. I'm booked into see my doctor for the baby and I and lactation consultant at the doctors yet this nurse won't stop asking if I want to give formula so she can pee more and gain back her weight fast.

Breaking point

My baby just does not sleep.
Never has and I’ve fucking had enough.
She was EBF and fed every hour day and night so I’ve never even managed to have longer than a 20 min bath before she’s screaming for me.
She won’t sleep in the day longer than half hour and that’s after over a hours fight to get her to sleep with lot of tears (sometimes from both of us) even if it’s a contact nap, car or push chair she just hates to fucking sleep.
She goes to sleep every night and I think I’ve cracked it but no 30 mins later she’s up wide awake.
I’ve even switched to bottles and formula hoping to ‘fill her up’ but even then she’ll only take 3oz and be hungry again in a hour I’m drained. I’ve got the napper app and follow it like clock work. She’s tired but just does not sleep and if she does she’s awake 30 minutes later day and night.
& before everyone’s like it’s a leap, just a phase, regression she’s been like it since the day she was born nearly 6 months ago and it’s never got any better or worse but constantly shit.

Just needed to rant whilst I’m sat outside the bedroom listening to her scream she’s tired as her nap was due 1.5hrs ago and I just cannot get her to sleep.
