How much would you pay for a busy board like this ?

I made my son this busy board recently (still not all painted) and my partner said he thinks I should make them and sell them but I don’t think anyone would pay what it’s even costed for me to make it (I paid £200 on everything to make it)

it’s amazing! trouble is as you said it cost £200 to make so to make a profit for your time as well you’d need to charge well over £200
we made one at home ourselves for £30/40 which is no where near impressive granted but it would mean I wouldn’t pay out for one
this is amazing though!

That’s amazing. Definitely plenty to do!

I might be wrong but if you were selling for kids to use you might need it to be safety checked to save it coming back on you if a child was to choke or injure themselves on it.

That’s amazing! Definitely worth the money if you were to make them and sell them

This is really good! However I wouldn’t buy this as I think there is just too much going on. I know my boy would get overwhelmed with it.

This is so good!
What about if you were to make smaller ones which you could sell for a bit less?

I think it might be hard to get what it's worth for one this big (the amount you spent to make this, as well as the time you put in.)

Or you could shop around and buy bits in bulk to get your costs down?

Either way it's amazing!

My partner made one for our son on his first Xmas, not as big as this! Not sure where I would store it lol and he paid about £60 for everything and materials. X

This is my opinion only, I would love to have one for my toddler but with way less toys on it ! My son can get very overwhelmed when their is too many things at once to see and so I know with so much to do he would end up not playing with it, plus 200£ I would get them out hardly on 1 time rather than smaller ones would be more affordable 🙏
But it would be a great business

It’s really amazing but how big is it top to bottom?

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?

What are we giving our soon-to-be 3yo for their birthdays?

We have the magnetiles, we have the kinetic sand and play doh, we have the play kitchen…

Literally, is there anything left in the world to buy this spoilt kid? 😅
