Moving country with baby
Has anyone moved country before with a baby?
My partners family live in Cyprus and I know he really wants to move there, it’s something I’m considering as he’s not happy here anymore and it’s affecting us massively. Our baby is 6 months old and I’m so unsure of what to do, any advice regarding a big move is greatly appreciated

If you feel the same like your partner and you love Cyprus, why not ? Your baby is so small , is much easier now then when your baby will start school
yeah you’re right with the schooling part. A lot is keeping me back here in England, all my family are here especially my elder grandparents who aren’t doing so well atm, a dog that I completely adore too! The move would be hard for me but I know it’s just as hard for him being away from most of his family.
plus I’d just be worried we’d make a big move, settle in and I wouldn’t like it. I don’t speak Greek either so that would be hard to adjust to as it’s quite hard to learn.
I know what you mean, moving country is a huge decision, but there are always will be some pros and cons...maybe you should make a list with pros and cons and look it together...I know many russian people buying properties there and moving to Cyprus
Of course it will be a hard adjustment for you, far away from family and new language
We are thinking of moving to my partner's country in the future , and I know it will be hard for me , but for the better future I will try to sacrifice
Hi! We moved from the Czech Republic to Cyprus - with our baby, who was 9 months old at the time.
What can I say… it was insanely hard 😅 but the baby was totally fine! We even managed to go for a swim and show him the sea. So yes, it’s absolutely doable - just really exhausting!
On the bright side: our baby is eating solids, and the local fruits and veggies here taste so much better than in the Czech Republic - he loves them!
Hello Polly ! Wow that's a great experience and very brave to do with a small baby on hands
How do you like Cyprus ? I know many people choose Cyprus, I think is quite safe up there
, I can’t really say anything yet. We’re still looking for an apartment, trying to understand the neighborhoods, and so on. Everything feels very unclear at the moment. And after Central Europe, the streets here feel like complete chaos.
But I guess that’s just my brain trying to adjust to the changes.
The climate, however, is amazing for the baby(at least now 😂). Finally, we don’t need to put him in a warm snowsuit - he’s so happy 😁

Mum guilt
Hey, I’m just posting because I’ve got horrendous mum guilt. I have a 3 year old and now a 3 month old. Prior to having my baby, I was out with 3 year old all the time, always busy. That’s obviously not been the case since having baby. We still do go out but I feel like it isn’t as often. Am I just being harsh on myself? I just find it so overwhelming at the minute but don’t want my toddler to feel like the bar has dropped!

Cartoon at Reception
My daughter started Reception this September, and it seems like they watch one or two cartoons every day. One is usually *Numberblocks*, but the other changes—sometimes it’s *Bluey*, sometimes *Zog*...I’m not too happy about this, but I don’t know if it’s common for schools to use cartoons for various reasons. I wouldn’t want to be the only mom complaining 😅

Shapes on tongue
Why does my 3 year olds tongue look like this? It’s always looked like it on and off and has never caused any issues so I haven’t brought it up to any health professionals but I’m just wondering what it is and whether I should be worried about it?

Weaning
Hi everyone! My little boy is 8 and half months old, we have been trying to wean him since 6 months but he is still not that interested, he doesn’t like purées as he won’t open his mouth for a spoon, and if I give him the spoon he uses his other hand to scrap the food off. We are mainly doing BLW which he will happily put the food in his mouth, but if he gets any in his mouth, he will gag and spit it out. Anyone having anything similar? He is still having breastmilk as I know their nutrition all still comes from their milk until they are 1, I’m just worried he is taking a long time to grasp the concept of swallowing food

Partners mobile and odd behaviour.
My partner changed his mobile phone number yesterday, which he told me about in the morning. He still has not given me his new number. Today whilst at the shops he refused to come in but after 20min of us shopping instead of sending or calling me to find out where we were, he came looking for us. Is this odd behaviour or what??

Husband problems
So me and my husband having going back and forth with the same issue since 15 years ago, he is distant and doesn’t have much interest in what I do or have to say. He is either on his phone or sleeping when there is time for us to spend together. He provides and is a good dad, spends time with the kids. He only pays attention to me just before he wants to get intimate. I am sick and tired of been lonely in this marriage. I have given my all, I am a good wife and mother. I have reached a point of not reaching out anymore. I do worry for the consequences of our marriage totally firing once I act the way he does too bu it’s exhausting from my end. Anyone else going through this. Divorce isn’t an option yet as the kids are young and it’s highly impractical to be a single mum for me. What to do, to survive this marriage?
