Would you send your child to a preschool that offers access to a live streaming video for “your little one’s safety and your peace of mind”? Why or why not?

Absolutely not!
No idea who is watching it or who other parents are allowing to watch it.

Would definitely prefer a live streaming option over not

My son definitely went to a daycare where there was a live stream.

Yeah, I actually would like this. The risk of a some weirdo or a
paedophile watching it from a distance is less worse than my child potentially being abused in secret irl.

No. Different if it was just the nursery however they couldn’t have cameras in certain areas anyway. Parents should not have access to watch other peoples kids and to watch them get changed ect. Also I have a child with asd and his diagnosis is private. It is bad enough that I got confronted by parents at nursery it would be ten times worse with cctv.
Also if you don’t allow your children to be put on social media or to be photographed by the nursery why would you agree to a live stream?

Absolutely not.

I mean the streams are not just out there for everyone to see
Also normally there are limits on how long you can view

No absolutely 100% no.
Why does it need to be live streamed? Anyone could hack that
It's one of the reasons we never got Wifi monitors
Sexual abuse could happen still in daycares that have this because those people think they won't get caught and there's not cameras in the changing ares. Or if there is WHY on earth are you happy with that being live streamed?
And abuse as in physical or other? There would be cameras in nursery anyway, no? Plus other adults to whistleblow?
If I even suspected a thing or that my child was unsafe, I would be pulling my kid out right away not watching a live stream to catch someone out
UK based. I'm pretty sure that's not even legal here but could be wrong.

It would depend. Is it in a school building? Are they licensed teachers?
Mostly I am not a fan of video monitoring like this because then any random person could be watching

I would prefer this. However only if the parents/caregivers only have access to the feed.

nope every daycare center i worked at that had cameras were the worst/most neglectful by far. cameras are always a 🚩

My daycare does and it’s great! I like to peek in from time to time and see my girl

It's a violation of the privacy of the other children. Do you want someone you don't know watching your child on video?

Yes, I would be OK with it.
Staff can't always post photos of what they do throughout the day and the feedback is always about the “amazing day they had”, so it would be nice to see real bits of how they do.
Some parents don't consent photos and our nursery is not editing the faces, but rather not posting photos. 😑
And no, not everyone can hack it. You need to be a hacker. I don't know any hackers. No, it is not a violation of privacy if you agree to it. If you don't want it, you choose another nursery.

Absolutely not, anyone could be watching it.

Idk man, it just sounds weird to me. 😅 Maybe I'm paranoid
Any recommendations would be great, going down to Cornwall for a couple of days and would like the option of staying at Grandparents etc

Hi Mamas!
Just wondering how often your little ones are eating solids during the day? (e.g breakfast + lunch + dinner).
TIA! 🍴

Has anyone got any suggestions of activities to do whilst on maternity leave?
We do swimming once a week and try to go to a play group as well as going for walks.
My LO is 8.5 months old and I’m getting fed up of being in the house as much as we are, so I’m sure my daughter is too!
We’re in Worcestershire area so any ideas/recommendations would be much appreciated 😊

A few weeks ago my husband admitted he cheated on my 5 years ago. I have been trying to process it all. And initially I decided to stay but now I am not so sure. We have 3 kids together and I am 7 months postpartum. I am so sad. I speculated at the time and he has been lying about it. Now I feel like a fool.
I started seeing a therapist. I see her 2 times a week. I also started working out to clear my head. But I feel myself becoming more angry every day.
I have stopped having sex with him. And because of it he has stopped being affectionate toward me. He says he needs sex to operate and I shouldn’t punish him by withholding it.
I am disgusted. We have been arguing nonstop and I just am not in the mood. He keeps asking what I need from him and he will do it for a little while then he stops saying it’s not him. And it’s insulting because I think of how i have bent over backwards over the years for him and his needs. Has anyone dealt with any of this ?

Does anyone else’s boyfriend/husband, not help tidy house, wash/dry pots up after food, cook food, put washer on, hang clothes out to dry, bring the clothes in, put them away, change their child’s nappy when Poo’d or Wee’d & doesn’t bath them?
Because they ‘WORK’ & you are at stay at home mother so it’s job, even on his days off no help?
& just get told ‘to get a job if you want him to do anything’ 🙃🙃
