Child haters going to her dads…

What should I do, my child is 10 coming upto 11 years old she’s always not liked going to her dads since being a toddler but when her dad and new partner had another baby in 2017 it progressively got worse she loved it at first until the child reached 4/5 years of age. And now she completely HATES going she cry’s before going and she’s very angry when she returns on the Sunday she’s expressively said it’s not her had but how the dynamic is with her half sister. She constantly asks me to lie and make things up for her not to go on weekends she’s told him once she did not want to go and he made her feel awful about it so she doesn’t like speaking to him about things.

I’m unsure what I can do without upsetting dad or daughter because he will definitely have a word with her if I was to say anything but on the other hand I’m soo fed up of seeing how unhappy my child is when it comes to going there.

I would say take him to court but sadly she's still too young and they won't listen to her. Poor thing that's rough. I mean you could try to talk to a lawyer and see what they say. I'm sorry you both are going through this.

I don’t force my child to be around people that make them uncomfortable

The end.

Dad can try to force mom by court order. That would be him forcing it, not mom. And all on him. (A good way for a father to destroy his relationship with his child)

Dad is cartainly going to have a hard time controlling the child when the child is a teen

Sleep during the day.

My nearly 4 week baby girl loves her sleep at night and will easily settle back down after her feeds however, during the day I struggle to get her to sleep or when she does she will sleep in my arms, if I try to transfer her to her cot she wakes straight away. Any suggestions on how I can help her or what I’m doing wrong?

Wake windows a myth for some?

My baby seems to laugh in the face of wake windows. We wake around 6-7am, he might fall asleep after his breakfast feed for a little bit but his only other long nap is our lunchtime walk in the carrier. Otherwise he is awake for hours on end but seemingly quite happy.

If anyone has a newborn who also doesn’t conform to the whole 60m rule, don’t worry, your baby isn’t broken and you’re not doing anything wrong, just go with their flow!

Bed Time - 4 months old

Hey mamas! How is everyone coping with an early bed time routine at 4 months old? My old friend chat gpt reckons that an early bed time of 7pm-9pm should be the norm but my girl will not go to bed until after 10pm 😭. Is it too early for sleep training or do most just follow their baby’s tired cues? X

Did anyone else’s epidural not work?

Writing retrospectively here. I had a epidural with my 1st baby in 2025 and it pretty much had no effect, I was in absolute agony the whole time (hours). Anyone else experience this?

Midwife now says this isn’t normal and I shouldn’t have been in pain.
Due my 2nd in 6 weeks and debating weather I should go for one again. 😣
