Just nothing to celebrate

So my birthday is next Monday
We are on the process of moving to our new house which I am very happy about it but we will do the move this weekend so my sister n law ask me what we will do for my birthday I say nothing we have so much to unpack and kids will go to school but you guys can stop by and have dinner I will figure out something
I don’t understand why she ask me she should ask her brother any ways I tell my husband about it and he said we will have to celebrate later since we have too mucho on the plate as now I feel like everything can pause for one day it will be my birthday only that day celebrating other day won’t be the same to me but I just agree with him and walked away
I guess I am not that important after all 🤷🏻‍♀️😞

Needing advice

I just found out im pregnat with my partner again

I have other kids that arent his

Is it wierd he says to me he always need to have the weekend at his house with his kids because he needs a break from my other kids, but he tells me he wants to be with me forever and stuff but says he needs a break am i just overreacting

Male nursery worker

Am I being unreasonable? I feel uncomfortable with a male nursery worker changing my daughter’s nappies. I was told he was “helping out” for a day? But no explanation was given. Can I raise it with the head without being seen as problematic? To be completely honest, I found it unsettling and odd he just appeared out of the blue..

Screen-Free

Any other moms doing no screens? How do you get anything done or deal with the crying?? I feel like I never get a moment for myself or to even do things that need to be done like cleaning or cooking. My baby loves to be held all day but hates carriers. No judgement please! We are trying to do no screens for the first two years. Sometimes I have to just let him cry for a bit while I do something for myself and it feels awful. And let's not even get into the screaming in the car...I don't know if it's true and I feel kinda bad for saying this but I feel like screen-free parents just deal with a lot more crying 😞

Curious about the screen time epidemic

Tell me what your family does

Does anyone homeschool toddlers 2-3 years old?

If yes can you share what resources you are using, where you find them etc…

Childminders

After a bit of advice. My son has been at a childminders since September last year. I'm finding her to be increasing unreliable, so far this year she's had 4 days closed and multiple times when I drop him off she informs me I need to collect him early, sometimes 2 hours early.
This is losing me money as I have a job that I can then not go to, as it's too short notice to arrange alternative childcare.
I've not had a childminder before, so I'm unsure if this is the norm?
