Childminding business

So I'm thinking of starting up my own Childminding business and I'd like to know what people's thoughts are...

Would you send your LO to a childminder that lives in a flat?

No because we lived in a flat when we were in South London so wanted our child to benefit from outdoor space.

Never really thought about it but I suppose it would depend on the type of flat. If it’s a high rise etc, could question health and safety

I think I'd be more wary...like who else lives in the building 😬

I don't think I would no, I really want her to be getting outside time and also some space to roam and play. If it was huge and next to a park I might consider it

I used to childmind from our London flat, but it was ground floor with a small patio, and then we were 10 mins walk from a big park. We also had our own entrance, separate from the two upstairs neighbours. So it depends on a number of things ☺️

Is it ok to give toddlers tea biscuits?

My little one (20 months) always wants to copy us when we have tea and biscuits so instead of daddies Hobnobs I give him one of the 30% less sugar tea biscuits...I'm still worried it's too sugary but at least he's happy then! What do you think?

Grandparents overbuying

Has anyone dealt with a grandparent who buys their child WAY too much stuff? Is there any way to get them to stop without it being the end of the world?
My MIL has good intentions but buys my daughter like 2 tote bags FULL of clothes and toys every month when we see her 🙃 Our house is quite literally overflowing with things and I don’t know how to tell her to stop in a nice way without her taking it as an attack to her as that’s how she shows her love

Conceal carry women: if you were taking your kids to a nature hike for a walk with another adult, would you ask if they’re comfortable with you bringing your gun or would you just bring it without saying anything?

For a little more info: the place we’re talking about going is the nature walking area because the paths are paved so I can easily push the stroller but it’s also kinda spooky walking there as a women especially with three young children. I really don’t thing it’s unsafe (I’ve been there before by myself before having kids) but you never know and I’d rather be safe than sorry. I haven’t seen this friend for years and I don’t really know if she’s comfortable with me having a gun but I also wanna feel safe walking with my kids 🤷‍♀️

How would you feel?

Last week we got invited over to a friends house for Easter dinner. I talked to my husband and told him him I’d like to go so that we don’t have cook and clean up. I’m 10 weeks postpartum and really would have liked to just relaxed. Well he insisted that we stay home, invite a couple people over and cook for our daughters first Easter. He’s the chef of our family. I told him I didn’t want to have to clean up after dinner. He promised that i could relax and he would handle everything. Well not only did i have to keep the kids all day so he could cook, while also asking me where everything is and sending me to the store for forgotten ingredients I woke up this morning after he sent me to bed early last night to literally every single dish, food and stuff still out. My husband rushed out for work this morning so here I am having to clean up while he calls me with an attitude complaining bout he’s tired. Im trying to not be upset but I really am. This is the reason i wanted to just go to our friends house instead of hosting. Rant over!

Owlet… Yay or Nay?

My fiancé and I have been debating since before our little one was born to get an Owlet. I keep seeing these horror stories about SIDS and mommas losing their little ones. They break my heart but simultaneously skyrockets my anxiety.

How does everyone feel about the Owlet? Are the features worth the cost? How long did you used the Owlet?
