He's watched it maybe 2 or 3 times for about 10mins. I just forget about it a lot that's why only a handful of times.

About 10 mins a day. Sometimes its the only thing that calms her down, last resort 🫠

Not dancing fruits because my little one finds it too overstimulating but she does watch classic 90s kids stuff on YouTube like bear in the big blue house and old Winnie the Pooh for 1520 minutes a day depending when I need to pump or do chores or something. My besties little one is six months and watches dancing fruits for about 20 minutes a day every day while she does her morning routine and the kid loves it!

I tried but she doesn't like it 😭 I thought it'd buy me some time to make lunch but she seemed very unimpressed. But I have lots of friends that do 10-20 mins either to buy some time to do jobs or to calm their little one down when crying lots

My boy does usually in the morning whilst I make the bed and wash bottles. Sometimes can be 10-15 minutes. Also in the evenings if he’s nap does work around when I am prepping dinner

I find it good for tummy time! I put my lil gal on her boppy pillow and she looks up at the tv on her tummy 🥰 only about 5 mins max though as she gets tired! X

I use it every once and a while for about 15/20 mins when I really need to get my uni work done and he’s bringing fussy

I put it on once or twice a day for about 10-15 minutes! Mainly for tummy time or sometimes it helps calm her down a bit in her witching hour in the evening xx

Yes and it’s usually about 10 minutes at a time. Like other mums on here it’s something that calms her down, or keeps her distracted whilst I do the dishes or her bottles for example. She does like hey bear sensory as a whole, especially the rainbow simmertime video with different animations x

we’ve swapped from dancing fruit to postman pat or guess how much i love you and it’s usually first thing in the morning when im cleaning bottles and making coffee so 10-20 minutes and then again when i make dinner 20 mins xx

I hate to say it and by all means call me a bad mum but dancing fruits has been my saviour you gotta do what you gotta do 🤣🤣

no one should call anyone a bad mum.
We all do things differently but we all do things right by our little ones. All our children are so different.
If your child is watching something for 5 minutes or 30 or whatever it doesn’t matter we have to do things for our sanity as well. We still have to get our housework done, washing done and even just sit and have a coffee whilst juggling being a mum. So I hope no mum ever feels bad for letting their child watch something for however long as long as their seeing the world and being cared for it shouldn’t matter. Everyone’s doing amazing ❤️

I went to look up I didn't know what it was, she's never watched but I let her watch inside out 2, the same 2min every time I need to cut her nails or clean her nose 😂 maybe I'll try dancing fruits next time to vary 😅

Around ten minutes once a day, maybe twice if it’s been a toughie and we all just need to calm down 😂

I use teletubbies a few times per day for tummy time. She still hates doing tummy time and I've given up entertaining her when she just hates it.

Is this clever or cruel?

My husband and i were talking and with social media and the internet in general being a terrifying dumpster fire, we are trying to figure out the best way to keep our son safe while still teaching him how to safely be online and moderation.

We landed on the idea of giving him the 90's kid treatment. A computer in the living room for us to keep an eye on what hes doing online, and once we feel hes mature enough to hang with friends without adult supervision he gets a flip phone. When we feel he is responsible enough and he earns and saves up the money for the physical phone, case, and screen cover, then we will be happy to take him to get a smart phone.

I thought this was air tight, but now my brother says its cruel to give a kid a flip phone, and besides he can just use his friends phones at school.

My husband and i remember a time before the internet, and we remember having complete access to something no one understood yet. We saw unspeakable things and are always battling with the urge to put the phone and social media down. I dont want that for my son, especially with his brain so vulnerable still.

If your partners parent passes away

And you and that parent didn't get along are you still go to the funeral?

Not my situation!

Partner no longer wants baby #2

Before our son was born we originally both wanted minimum 2 kids but we were hoping for 3-4. My partner found the birth traumatic to watch and also struggled a lot with the newborn/baby stage. He no longer wants to have any more children and it’s completely breaking my heart. I need another baby. We’ve spoken about it a lot and the options. He said he wasn’t COMPLETELY closed off to it so I asked him to try and work through his feelings and reconsider his decision. He eventually said he definitely doesn’t want another. I know that I will always want one and my feelings will never change. Do we have to break up or does anyone know anything else I can do to help change his mind? Has anyone else’s partner said this and then changed their mind? I don’t want to break up because I adore him and our life together and I’d hate to split up our family for “selfish” reasons and make my son miss out on having both of us together but I just don’t know what to do

Nursery funding

My child turned 9 months last week. I applied for government funded hours nearly 2 months ago and so well within the required timeframe for the April term, however upon receiving my first invoice without the funding applied and having questioned this, I have now been informed that the stretched funding doesn’t start until 4th May.

Has anyone else been told it won’t start until May?

The government site states it should start from April 1st, and so I intentionally set my nursery start and return to work as the start of April for that reason, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to afford the nursery on my sole income without the funding

Jealous of my husband

I’m so jealous of him and it’s making me resentful. We have a ten week old and I’m jealous that he is at work all day. I’m jealous he can leave for lunch and actually eat an uninterrupted lunch. Take a phone call uninterrupted. Chat with a friend he runs in to uninterrupted. Even go to the bathroom when he wants uninterrupted. He comes home from work when he wants. He’s not on a set schedule. Some days are late some are early. It depends on when he’s done. I’m jealous he can come home at 10pm and shower, eat and go right to bed uninterrupted because I already have the baby asleep. He doesn’t have to worry about anything house wise or baby wise because I’ve done it all. Meanwhile I’m covered in puke and crap and smell like rotten milk. When he is home he is VERY active and helpful. So it’s not that. I’m just jealous his world hasn’t changed and mine has I guess. This isn’t something he’s doing wrong so I’m not sure how to get past this. I wish I could keep him home all day because that’s how helpful he is, but I understand he obv needs to work.

NHS job

Anyone work for the NHS and does 12 hour shifts? How do you work around childcare and your partners job?
