Mrs Rachel

Those who have kids that watch Mrs Rachel, specifically the Netflix episodes. Does your little one not like her husband?

My son seems to be fine with him except for S2E2 when he’s going over the farm animals, my son ends up crying and shaking like he’s terrified… has anyone else’s kids done this?

She’s only 8 months and loves mrs Rachel, all of the characters. I’m scared of them though 🤣

My first always screamed when anyone else showed up. She only like ms Rachel

My LG was scared of the ant song but not anymore. She loves gooooo Mr aron, STOP Mr aaron

I actually have to sing the 3 hungry ants song when my twins are having a meltdown at mealtimes, as that seems to be the only one that calms them down whilst eating 🤦🏻‍♀️

Mr Aaron is my daughter's favourite. She's just turned 1 years old. She laughs every time he is on the screen. I actually think she loves him more than ms Rachel 😂

She is terrified of the blueberries on dancing fruit though 😂

My girls aren’t bothered but my husband finds him creepy 😂

Personally she scares me lol! I don't think she's bad, but for some reason her voice makes me uneasy. 💀

My daughter likes Mr. Aaron. Hes not scary. Has anything happened to your child that involves a man that looks like Mr. Aaron?

We don’t watch

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

NHS job

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

Calpol

My mum has just given my 4 year old calpol because he asked for it. He isn’t poorly (although was last week, been fine this week) he just likes the taste of it. My mum didn’t check, didn’t ask, just gave it to him and when I’ve questioned her she said “he asked for it”. Then quizzed 4 year old who said he asked for it because it tastes nice.

How would you react?
