Was she wrong for ignoring us?

We celebrated Eid as well as my baby’s first birthday on Friday at my in laws house. When we were there, some family friends of my husband also came. He calls them his uncle and he came with her daughter who is 27. We have met a handful of times, and they came to our wedding as well. My husband and I have 2 kids. When his uncle and daughter came, she greeted everyone accept myself and the kids. She ignored us the entire time and when she left she didn’t say bye to us either. She was also off with my husband as well. When I asked my husband he thinks she’s behaving like this because he used to visit them almost every day and since we got married and had kids he hasn’t. Our kids are 3 and 1, and the last 2 years has been so intense. Difficult pregnancy and postpartum plus a baby with colic. Is she wrong for being rude to us like this or is it my husband’s fault ? Also why is it always the woman that gets blamed, I almost feel like she’s blaming me for him not coming to visit…

Sounds like she fancied him and now she's insanely jealous

He should not visit her at her house, not at all, and you should not feel even a tiny bit guilty over that. He belongs at home with his family!!

Just ignore the rude bitch. You won.

Yh she’s defo got feelings for him or something off there , too childish for a 27 year old to act that way especially after knowing of one another for years…

that’s creepy ignore her

How strange and immature. I would’ve got in her face like SALAAAAM you good sis Eid Mubarak 🩷🩷🩷🤣 I hope they don’t have some sort of history you don’t know about

Well if you ever have to interact with her again at a social event:
Be charming
Passive aggressively rub in her face how happy you and your husband are
If she's gonna be rude, let her dig herself into a hole with her own words and behaviour, everyone will be on your side if you've been nothing but polite

If I were you I would feel sorry for her. Shes clearly still having feelings for him, how sad for her to never grow up and live her own life.

Guys am I crazy for thinking this lady has put some sort of evil eye on my family. Ever since that day, everyone in my house has been getting sick. First my baby and toddler and now my 10 year old is in hospital with random seizures (she’s never had this before).

Pooping in a potty

Last night while playing and having some nakey time without a nappy on my little girl who’s just turned 2 said “I want my potty” so I told her to go get it. She bought her potty into her bed room, sat down and went poop. I was shocked because she’s only been playing with the potty up-to now, she’s never done a wee in it and if anything she usually would get nervous whilst sitting on it as I think she was worried she wasn’t aloud to do a wee or poop despite my encouragement.

It’s has been sat in my bathroom for weeks not being looked it never mind used, so for her to actively go fetch it as she wanted a poop AND use it correctly, I’m shocked! 🤯

I gave her loads of praise, big smiles but she looked worried she’d done a “stinky” on the potty and was upset. Yet she’s the one who wanted to do it??? Im confused what to do about it. Personally I don’t think she’s ready to start potty training but the kid just independently took herself off to use it so perhaps I’m wrong?

How would you play these next steps? Or would you do nothing as it might have been just a one off?

Apart from circumstances where the child isn’t able to be, it is unacceptable for a 3 year old to not be potty trained.

Unless your child has SEND, it is 100% just LAZY parenting.

Baby fell off couch

my husband was supposed to be watching the baby so i could sleep in the morning and he set the baby 7 weeks old on the couch while he went to the restroom, well baby wiggled off and fell face first ☹️ i woke up to the crying we both ran to see he was laying face down on the tile floor and we rushed to the hospital they did X rays and they said nothing is wrong internally he just has a bruise on his forehead and bruised nose. IM SO HEARTBROKEN. we’re home now and baby is acting normally but i just feel like the worst parents ever. did this happen to anyone else ever or are we really the worst?? and is it likely he could get a long term disability from this ? has it happened to anyone else? also yes i’m very angry at my husband, i never leave the baby unsupervised. if something worse was wrong with the baby i was seriously considering divorce while sitting in the hospital room!

Autism parents did your child go to nursery or pre school?

So my little guy is 24 months and very speech delayed and displaying way above average levels of clinging and refusal to leave my side around other people and children. He cries his eyes out if I make him go to playgroup or softplay. Occasionally he will calm down and start enjoying if its not too busy but only if I am glued to him.
Im being pushed to get him in nursery and I keep being told he'll love it eventually. My fear is that time between now and "eventually"...he is incredibly distressed around everyone except me, his dad and my mum. He is the only child ive seen who can't even stand to be near another child without melting down.
If I force him into nursery im worried ill be pushing him too hard and traumatising him at this point. Other people don't understand the extent of his anxiety...
How have other SEN parents managed?

Food

Im wondering mom's what age did you all start giving solid foods !!

Activity ideas for 1yo and 3yr olds

I'm struggling. I take my boys outside every single day but they're still so full of energy. They don't stay very busy inside and I can't get much done. What are some activities or toys that keep your kids busy around these ages? We read books daily and they like to pretend to "clean" lately but im looking for other ideas please!
