Childcare

What has anyone with kids done for childcare while in labor? My littlen hasnt ever been away from us overnight n has only been away from us for a few hours during the day im due late September and partners parents have said theyll have littlen if inlabor before / after thr holliday theyve got booked n my cousin said she will have her if it happens while theyre away(she lives an hour away n doesnt drive) but im worried thst she wont settle or thst she would get distressed if me or her dad arent home with her especially if she’s trying to sleep in an environment shes never slept in before. Has anyone ever considered a sitter instead of child staying with family just so that the child is in an environment they know better? Or what has anyone else done for childcare ? Thanks in advance.

Have you heard of June Care? It’s a new childcare service in our area. Their screening process is better than any other service I’ve used, and includes interviews, background checks AND reference checks! The best part (IMO) is all providers are moms with hands-on experience for all ages and having mom instincts, is just an added plus! It has really helped me out with my move to CA, having no friends or family to rely on.

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.

Would you allow you child to gift their toys to their best friends?

I haven’t yet had this happen yet but our daughter is a very caring and thoughtful little human and may decide to do this eventually. And I’ve heard of this happening with other children. If your child gave away a toy and then wanted it back(after a long amount of time) how would handle it.
A) Would you get them a new one that looks the same.
B) Explain that when we give people gifts we don’t take them back because that’s rude.
C) Go to the parents and get it back.

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

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

What would yall do?

So a few days ago, I told my husband that we needed to separate because him not very participating in house chores him not giving you know the kids and my attention when he gets home. He’s always on his phone and him yelling at the kids all the time. He is now changing for the most part but he has done this before. We were going to do IVF I have all the medications. Should I keep them or just get rid of them ? I’m not sure what to do
