What do you do with your baby all day?

I need some ideas of what to do with my 7 month old. He’s crawling and standing and a very busy boy. He does not like the car seat (working on that) but I’m still open to options outside of the house as well.

Moving to Scotland

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some advice and insight.

My partner and I are planning a big move to Edinburgh, as he’s hoping to open a restaurant there. I genuinely love Scotland the atmosphere, the scenery, and the people always seem so warm and friendly whenever I visit.

However, I do have some concerns. I’m Black British, and I have a daughter who will be starting secondary school around the time we move. Naturally, as a mum, I want to make sure she feels safe, supported, and accepted in her new environment.

I’d really like to hear honest experiences what is it like for Black families living in Edinburgh, especially when it comes to schools? Have you or your children experienced any racism, and how is it generally handled?

Also, my daughter is very passionate about track and field, so I’d love recommendations for secondary schools with strong athletics programs or good sports facilities. Any tips on clubs, teams, or supportive communities for young athletes would be amazing too.

Overall, I’m excited about the move, but I just want to make the best decision for my daughter and ensure she has a positive experience.

Thank you so much in advance 💛

Have i normalised bad behaviour?

Hey all, today i reversed the car a little too much while trying to get out of tight parking and ended up scratching the car.

We have 2 cars, i drive the bigger one as im pregnant and its a lot more confortable right now.

My first thought was "shit, hes gonna be so mad! I fucked up" Now im stressed to tell him.

I wanted to ask, is this really normal? Should i be freaking out about telling my husband? I feel like a child, but hes not my parent. Surely its not normal to feel this way about your spouse? Have i just grown to believe this is normal?

Holiday suggestions - 3 year old and 10 month old

We would like to do a lovely all inclusive holiday in September with our 10 month old and 3 year old. Ideally not a really long flight considering their ages and would a bit of luxury as it will be to celebrate my 30th. Any recommendations? Thank you

Am I a bad mum if we don’t go out today?

I have a 3 month old who just wants to be held and breastfed and a nearly 2 year old who has only had 20 minutes sleep.

We usually go out everyday but it’s just us three and I don’t want my toddler to get overtired or overstimulated, my infant won’t be put down and just wants to feed and I’m pretty tired but that’s nothing new 😅

What do you think?

Help

I’ve been feeling a bit emotional lately and just need some reassurance. My son is 20 months old, and whenever we’re at my parents’ house, he always wants my sister and not me. Today, even at home, when he woke up from his nap, he cried out for “aunty” instead of me, which really hurt. It made me start wondering if I’m doing something wrong or if he doesn’t want me anymore. I think it’s hitting me harder because I’m also pregnant with my second baby.

Opinions please!

Would 6 months old be too young to send my baby to my parents for 1 night? I want to go and see Noah Kahan in November but he’s only in London or Manchester which would have to be a night away. But worried 6m might be too young for a night away! What does everyone think?
