Sleep issues

Whenever my partner wants to sleep, I’ll turn my phone off, read elsewhere or leave the room entirely to give him the space to sleep. But when it comes to me, he won’t. He’ll game, he’ll watch loud things on his computer or have someone on. I like complete darkness and no sound as I sleep better but I understand he might need some sound. So we have a fan going in the room or rain music. I compromised with him on that. Lately, I’ve been getting insomnia because he has been gaming non stop lately. When we first moved into this new place, I said I didn’t want his pc in our bedroom. He tried the garage and didn’t like it and ended up moving it all into the room. And I hate it. I don’t know what to do because he won’t put it any where else as it is an expensive pc and he doesn’t want the kids breaking it. What would you do? I am stuck…

Sleep in another room

Id speak to him and say he needs to suck it up and have it elsewhere cos you not having decent sleep isn't acceptable

My husbands is in the kitchen and my daughter knows to stay away.

Get a sofa bed for the living room? It’s not ideal but if he wants to have the bedroom he can have it alone

Nursery fees

Just received my first invoice from the nursery for May attendance, and they've charged me for 2 bank holidays, but they're not open then, so my little one won't attend nursery. Is this standard practice, to charge for the bank holidays when the nursery doesn't operate? Or just an error, maybe?

Weaning while out? Help please! 🙏

I can’t wrap my head around how on earth I feed my baby solids when I’m not at home - does anyone have any advice/suggestions please?

Atm baby girl is having 1 solid meal a day around 11am after her morning nap. (We are moving up to 2 meals a day when she hits 7 months).

She’ll have something like porridge and fruit or scrambled egg with mash sweet potato and avocado (a mixture of spoon and BLW). I can’t figure out how I would take this sort of food out with me if I happen to be out with her at 11ish and also feeding her with the mess etc 😅 would I just change her meal time or is there a knack to it?? 🙏

I feel awful saying this but

I am to resent my baby. Reason being he’s just driving me up the wall. He is soooo clingy I cannot not put him down when if I’m in the same room he will have a meltdown and won’t stop until I pick him up. He doesnt sit still on my lap he always wants to be standing on my lap. He always seems to be crying I honestly think our neighbours hate us 😬🤣 he just such an unhappy baby the last month. Not sure what to do anymore cause I can’t take much more.

He’s my 2nd. My daughter was and is an absolute angel.

Is it just boys that tend to be nightmare children 😖

3 year old not potty trained

I feel so ashamed by this but my 3 year old isn't potty trained, he did start doing wees August September last year and was very consistent with it, but when my second baby was born in December he completely regressed to not doing any.

I've recently started trying again, I've tried everything he's got several pottys, ones he's picked, big toilet seat, pants he's picked, books, watched shows about potty training. I don't know what else to do I feel embarrassed and like a failure about it.

I'm still 4 months postpartum so I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonably upset about it 😭
