How would you feel if you found out your 11 year old step daughter was dating a girl….and this girl is sending txts that are super toxic?

So my husband is a mess right now because we just found out that his daughter ( she’s 11) is dating a girl. It’s not that we have a problem if she likes girls it’s just since being with this girl she’s gotten a bad attitude, shes getting in trouble at school and we are really concerned about the txts too. Shes telling my step daughter that she thinks that my step daughter’s love language is physical touch. She talks about her mom doesn’t approve of her dating girls and how she got grounded for kissing girls….we are just really concerned about her wellbeing and bio isn’t doing anything to help, she took off the restrictions on her phone so now sometimes if we don’t check she is on her phone for 7 to 9 hours a day on the weekends….i don’t know what to do because my husband just isn’t taking this well

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

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..

Does anyone homeschool toddlers 2-3 years old?

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

Being too sensitive?

I wanted people’s opinions on this and wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation! My husband is being super sensitive over friends and families opinions on who our new born baby daughter looks like. I think it’s ridiculous we are even bickering over this and having heated conversations. A lot of people have said she looks like her dad but some are saying she looks like me and just because he can’t see it, he gets annoyed with them for thinking it. I had a friend that came round to meet her and she said “she’s 100% ALL you” (me), he found this rude and disrespectful. I don’t think it is at all! Everyone sees babies differently and everyone has an opinion. I for sure don’t get upset if someone says baby girl looks like her daddy. It takes 2 to make a baby and she is gorgeous so it doesn’t matter, I’m the one that grew and birthed her but I don’t take offence! We then had a deep conversation and he opened up to me and said because he didn’t have much growing up as a child, he just would have loved our baby to look like him and to carry his features, considering she’s his biggest achievement. He’s convinced all MY friends and family just want her to look so badly like me and not him. (He’s very good looking may I add). I just get anxious every time someone comes round now as I don’t know what they will say regarding who she looks like! This is something I cannot control. He should be proud she’s gorgeous, happy and healthy. What are your opinions on this?!
