They’re not as absorbent as a diaper, they are only used for pre-training, hence “training pants”…. They didn’t leak on me but I treated them like undies and changed immediately when he did one pee, we used them from 12m at home coz he was a cloth bum baby anyway I was already washing diapers, so washing pee training pants was nbd to me. They are only padded undies and should be treated as such. They will not last 2-3hrs like a diaper would so keep that in mind. I had a couple brands- cheap $4 ones from my local store, (bright bots I think the brand was) Bambino Mio, and Babybare. I liked the Babybare ones, they had the PUL waterproof outer. The cheap $4 ones were okay too but they had cotton outer.

Husband going on weekend away

Hi all, my husband is going on a weekend to France in a few weekends time to see his friend who lives there -Friday to Sunday. I’m really dreading it as our baby is just over 4 months and currently going through the regression and is super challenging at the moment. I’m so nervous to deal with it all on my own. I may go stay with his parents over the weekend or his sister may come see me for a night but I’m worried as my baby currently screams and melts down if held by anyone but me . I don’t want to be super negative and want my husband to enjoy his weekend but I feel so anxious and stressed . I don’t know whether to have his sister come stay with me for a night or go to his parents a 1 hour drive away to get a break …. As I said her current state means none of them will actually be able to help me as she only wants me ! If I go to his parents I get a change of scenery and have some support but am in a less familiar environment and plus she hates that car!! If I stay home then I’m in a comfortable environment and I’m n my own space but will only have his sister for support for one evening not his whole family …… Any advice ?

Moving on

Recently I've come to the decision to no longer allow certain behaviors that are for adults and children. Without trauma dumping, My son and I are in a recovery period. No one in our lives understand that. It's always get over it and you're still held up on it. When "it" wasn't over until November of last year. Through protection orders and not really having any guidance or village when it comes to us, I'm definitely paving the way for our outcome to be bigger than our downfall was. No one knows yet, but we are moving away from everyone we know and everything we know. Somewhere where we can start fresh and continue. We're not running and that's all everyone is going to see it as. I have my baby's childhood in my hands and I'm determined to make it as good as I can before he's older. I don't know if/when we will tell everyone where we are but for now I know and understand that we need to get right and start new.

Feeling deflated at the start of weaning

My nearly 7 month old just started weaning 5 days ago. First 3 days gave her broccoli. She loved it, first 2 days she had 2 spoons, and 3rd day about 10 spoons! Yesterday I started on butternut squash and she didn’t look amused but had a spoon or 2 forcefully, then today she also had butternut squash but was forced she had one spoon then every spoon I tried after that she didn’t want it. Is this strange considering she liked the broccoli but the butternut squash is more sweet and yummy I thought she would have enjoyed it. I mixed both with my breast milk.

How would you take this?

I’m having a rough period (cramps worse than usual, very tired and moody) and my husband has been aware of this for the last couple days. He knows I had to take extra pain meds so it’s not a usual period.

This morning I wake up at 6:30 to get my toddler milk, then laid in the guest bed for a little bit while both my girls went over to wake up my husband. I came back to our bedroom after he asked where I was and laid down. The girls cuddled with me for a bit as he got dressed and they all went downstairs when I was still laying in bed.

I was in bed for maybe 30 minutes, while I heard him emptying the dishwasher, feeding the toddler, managing their behavior and trying to start breakfast (this is normal behavior for my husband as we share a lot of household tasks).

Both girls came back upstairs to see me and I knew I wouldn’t get any more rest, so I got up and started getting dressed.

When I came downstairs, still visibly tired and slow, my husband eventually told me “We need to do a better job of communicating on weekends. I didn’t know that you wouldn’t be coming downstairs. You know it’s easier for us to handle breakfast together. If you aren’t feeling well, just tell me. How are you feeling? Do you want some Advil?”

How would you have taken that?

End Of Pat Leave ...

My husband is going back to work next Monday and I'm starting to feel quite apprehensive about it...
I'm pretty sure I'll be absolutely fine with my daughter but he's been so hands on and we've tackled everything like a team plus he has been really good at making sure I nap when I can as well. so I'm just a bit worried that it might all fall apart when I'm doing it all on my own 🙁🫣
Anyone else feeling the same or have any advise?? 🙏🏻

Gender identity in primary school

Hi all,

My child is in reception now. The school curriculum does it still teach/cover gender identity? Is this only in primary school or also secondary?

And if they do what can we do about it as parents. I wouldn’t like my child to participate in such things???
