Anyone have a toniebox?

I keep seeing everyone buying the tonieboxes but not really sure what they do. Do you have to change the character on top so they tell a new story or do you buy a subscription and buy the stories on there?

We have one for our 4yo and tbh he’s only just getting the hang of it 🤪
Yes you buy the box and it comes with one (although not sure what’s on it as never used it) and then you can buy others and each one has stories or songs etc on it. They are around £15 each so make good gift ideas to tell people when you don’t want more enormous toys in your house 😅

Just to add it would be fine for a younger child but it’ll be a while til they can operate it themselves which is what we got ours for really

We have one for our 2 y/o and in hindsight I would have waited another year! We have a few different story characters that he loves like Gruffalo and Paddington, but when he puts one on then takes it off and puts another on, it starts from the beginning. So it’s actually really annoying and I’ve heard the beginning of Bear Hunt about 7,000x 😆 Think when he’s 3/4 it’ll be really good

you can record yourself reading stories on the one that comes with it

ooh perfect. Great if you don’t have space left for massive toys x

exactly this, more fun to just play with the little figures than actually listen 🤪

We have had one for our 2 year old since her first birthday and personally I don’t understand the people saying wait, she grasped how to work it really quickly. But yeah you just change the characters for different stories/songs but my daughter can do that herself. I sing songs and read to my daughter too but she uses it to settle herself to sleep which is a bonus. We’ll be getting my 8m old one for her 1st birthday too

I have one for my 8 month old. She loves it and dances to ones with music. We don’t offer screen time though so we’ve found it a useful tool to have alongside play time, bath time, bed time etc and we sometimes put a story on while she’s eating dinner x

We got my eldest a yoto instead. It's great and helps with bedtime. My August baby isn't interested though so although I'd recommend I'd 2nd no hurry.
Also it made a great birthday present, for her first two birthdays we said no gifts and people still got her things. For her 3rd we said no gifts necessary but if you'd like to get her something a yoto card is one idea. It worked really well as she didn't end up with loads of stuff and cards range a lot in price (less than tonies) so people didn't feel they had to spend a lot.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.
