Very much so, I can never have it on speaker because of him and sometimes have to go to a different room.

right 😩😩I just give up and give him the phone but he just wants to hang it up and go to YouTube even tho what he is trying to watch is already on tv

I haven’t run into this yet, but if I did I think I’d let him say hi then say I needed to finish my conversation

My Little One isn't allowed my phone either, it's just because he can hear someone on the phone and wants to talk to or try to (because he isn't talking yet).

She gets so mad when it’s a call and not FaceTime. The entire time is just “show me!” And “I want to see her!”

No. I have a strict no kids policy for my phone. If they want to throw a tantrum over it, so be it.

He doesn't get upset, but he does try to tell them things. Today someone called while we were in a parking lot. I tried to disconnect my phone but didn't by accident so it went through the car speakers. My son was yelling about how he got a lemon (plush toy from aldi) oops 😳😂

He thinks all phone calls are grandma and I’m just holding out on him lol

My daughter isn’t allowed to use my phone unless I offer it for FaceTime with family or if I’m in an appointment and put a show on it for her. There is no reason a kid should be on your phone so much they get upset when you need to use it.

Sounds like a lot of screen time is the issue

Avatar

Used to but she's learnt when I'm on the phone to leave me to it and keep as quiet as she can

Avatar

No.

my child gets no screen time but when people call that she knows she wants to hold the phone. And yes, she will get upset if I don’t let her hold it. Don’t be so judgmental lmao

Avatar

my son only uses my phone to call family as well but he gets upset because anytime I’m on the phone he thinks it’s family. Doesn’t necessarily mean OPs kid is on her phone all the time

Avatar

oh okay so just rude 😂

Avatar

None of my kids use my phone regularly unless one of our family members is on screen time but it’s not routinely given to them to play with otherwise they’re more likely to get their play phones or remotes and mimic my being on the phone than to actually want or cry for my personal phone also my phone is on lock they’ve never played one game on it nor can they maneuver anywhere on it etc my son has his own tablet for that

Avatar

Luckily usually whoever is calling is someone my daughter likes so she just waves at phone and says "Nana" or "Pappa" etc

she didn’t give a lot of context in the poll question, I was just sharing my opinion 😊

Leaving a stay and play before the tidy up?

I take my daughter to a few stay and plays which are usually 2 hours long. Most of them finish when she would usually be napping and then it will take me a while to get her home and relaxed ready to nap etc. Is it rude to leave early? I think 2 hours is already a long time so I would prefer to leave after 1- 1.5houre but I don't want them to think I'm being rude

Co- sleeping 🥰💕

Can I just say to all those co-sleeping mama’s out there…… you’re doing one of the most natural things possible providing security, love, care and attention to not only your babies needs but your own 💕 It is so right yet you are lead to believe it’s so wrong! Why?

Soak in all the love and cuddles whilst they are small as one day they won’t need us like we need them 🥰💕

I hate the newborn age

Is it normal to actually hate the newborn phase? We are 8 days old so still very new to this and I’m a FTM. I thought I would LOVE having a newborn baby. I’m so overwhelmed and anxious if I’m getting anything right, if she’s happy if she’s fed if she’s gassy if she’s sleeping enough that I’m just not finding much joy in the newborn stage at all. I feel pretty lonely (even though my husband is the biggest support system and my absolute rock). Finding exclusively breastfeeding tricky and sort of wishing away these early weeks so we can get some sort of routine in place! Anyone else the same?

Ferber method..it works!

We did the Ferber method last night for my 14 month old son. He’s EBF and would wake several times in the night, he’s start off in his cot and end up in bed with me but need to lay on top of me, his dad would sleep ikn the sofa and it was just a lot for all 3 of us eapeacially since I’m now back at work and he’s at nursery. His dad has been begging for us to do the Ferber but I’ve said no every time because I can’t stand the crying, he’s my angel baby boy and I could never just let him cry for me. I just couldn’t do it. But yesterday, after rocking him for nearly an hour and singing the same song over and over I was just like no. We are doing it tonight. So I fed him, kissed him, cuddled him and said “you are a big boy now. You can do this, I love you and I am just next door. Sleep well my baby.” And left the room. He was screaming but more like shouting. I checked in at 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and then 10 minutes each time saying “you can do this my baby. I love you. Go to sleep” and in the second 10 minute interval I went to check and he was fast asleep. He slept from 22:11pm till 8:00am no wake ups, no night feeds! I was shocked!

Long sleep stretches

I’m not complaining but I’m def concerned , my son sleeps 6-7 hours at night… he’s 7 weeks today. He’s growing healthy weight, everything is fine. But he sleeps 6-7 hours 😭 I worry if this is normal at his age. He’s exclusively breastfed

First birthday party timing

What’s the best timing for a first birthday party? (Garden party at home)
Currently 9.5m old, on 2 naps roughly 9 & 13:00. Thinking 11:00-14:00? Is it likely they will drop to 1 nap by then?
