Have you/would you say your 2 year old is under 2 years old to get day tickets cheaper?

We want to go to the zoo on the weekend, we're a family of 4 and it would cost us £85 just to get in the zoo. It says on the website 2 and under free. 2 and over is £20. Considering trying to get my 2 year in as under 2... have you done this and got away with it? Would you do it? Just so expensive!!

Depends if they look under two or look massive. Most don't look much especially if in a buggy. Harder to get away with it when walking

Haha same, if they ask i would just say yeah he's literally two next week or something - birthday outing!
I'd probably wing it till April ish, after that I'd feel like I was taking the piss

If your on uc then there’s places that do uc tickets for £1 just show them you had a payment at the gates after booking. There’s loads of places that does uc tickets london zoo is one x

Yeah 2 and under annoys me, should be 3 and under. First year or so they haven't got a clue whats going on so at least give us 2 years worth of benefit lol

It’s 2 AND under, so really it’s under 3.

If your baby is 2, then they are in the free category until they are 3 xx

Weren't we all told to pretend we are only a certain age by around parents. Wed approach the gates and our parents would be like, you're this age now

I would risk it lol

100% say they’re 2 next week I took my twins the zoo a few weeks ago and they didn’t get £20 worth out of it lol

If you know anyone on any benefits that could go with you they can get six tickets for £1 each
We went yesterday with my grandad
We booked the tickets online & although he’s almost 80 he showed proof of pension age benefit

If your child is 2, they are still free! ‘Age 2 and under is free’

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Separation Anxiety

My baby is nearly 6 months old and has just entered the separation anxiety stage… this evening I was trying to cook dinner whilst my husband was with the baby and he was just crying every time he couldn’t see me, with full blown hysterical sobbing, and as soon as he saw me again he started giggling and smiling. Any tips on how to stop this? And how long might this phase last?
My husband felt pretty disheartened and upset 😢
