Birthday!

Hi Guys, my son is turning 4 this Friday. I wanted to asking it's still a thing for kids to bring something for their class mates? It's a very healthy school, doesn't allow chocolate or sweets in packed lunches. What would be an alternative? Thank you in advance.

Wasn’t a thing for us back in the 90s and I won’t be giving anything in when my daughter goes to school next year either never even heard of that 😅

We bring sweets in which seems to be the thing (I did ask). Although I didn’t realise that haribo has gelatine in so some pupils couldn’t have it. Also it’s now April so have kids been doing this in his class?

Our school doesn't allow sweets or chocolate in lunches but when it's a birthday you can send sweets in but they must be in original outer packaging so they can check for allergens...best check with the schools policy but I imagine it should be fine to send something in that is packaged:)

At my son's nursery they often bring a shop bought cake so the ingredients can be verified.

Most bring sweets

We do sweets - as they’re are less allergens
Also we have done stickers before too

Advice please

I am in a longterm relationship with a drug addict, he takes K daily to help his anxiety.. apparently.. he doesn’t go over the top and get absolutely out of it, but it is a worry. He owes me £6000, he is in major debt.
We have a 2 year old together and I have been thinking of leaving for a long time, i don’t know why i can’t make the move. The house is in my name, we will not be homeless because he would leave.
I just always hope he would quit, but I just don’t see it happening.
I also worry that his dad will want to see him and be doing drugs or drinking, i know we can have someone there to watch him but i don’t trust his family to watch him as they would let him get away with it 😔
I feel so stuck.

Is it cheating?

Husband hasn't been able to have sex with me or cuddle in almost a year. No hello/goodbye kiss. Basically no contact order ig. Today I find hes been following and frequently visiting a sexual FB page and its purely sex content. There were other searches as well. Atp we are married (2 years and 4 years together) we have two kids 3 and 2. He claimed in the past he was ashamed of jerking off and would stop and blah blah.

Once your child was potty trained did they regress back to having accidents?

Just wanting to find out how common this is....

Terrified to leave the house with just baby and I

Is it just me or is leaving the house with just baby and yourself to run errands super stressful and scary. If I have my hubby, mom, or friend I am not afraid at all. But the thought of leaving just the 2 of us scares me to death. Have an outing tomorrow to meet a new mom friend and am so nervous to leave and go to the zoo alone.

Any tips to help? Does anyone else feel the same?

4yo reading and writing level

Advice and question… My 4yo, turning 5 in June can sing her ABC’s, trace most letters(but not write on her own) and identify several letters(but not all). I’ve been working with her to learn sounds and write letters but I’m afraid, is she falling behind?

Would love any recommendations of products/programs to do as she starts
Kindergarten next year.

Food

What's everyone feeding their 8/9 month olds? I need some new ideas 🤔
