My son told me he doesn’t want to come back home with me he is only 5 he literally just broke my heart

I was getting him ready to take him to his dads bc he said he wanted to go and we were playing and I said I’m gonna miss you you gonna miss me he said no I was line dang why you say that you not gonna miss me and he said no again I said ooookay and kind of laughed and I said something about when he comes back home and he said I don’t want to come back here and then he said it again in the car and didn’t even want to hug me really barely said bye … I don’t even understand and what hurts even more is his dad abandoned him and started a family w/ someone else up until he was about to turn 3 and now he wants to leave … I don’t keep him from him I include his dad in everything to do with him I know he wants to see him more but damn my kid doesn’t even like me maybe not even love me and I love him so much my heart is really broken … I was excited to get a little me time today but I just want to curl up in a ball I know it’s a family at his dads and it’s just he and I at home but I’m trying to date to try and meet someone and hopefully give him a sibling but I guess it wouldn’t matter anyway

How’s everyone’s nursery’s coming along?! Would love to see pics of them! Still got some bits and bobs to do but we’re getting there😆

Being a boy Mam really isnt for the weak

I know I have both genders for children. BUT being a Mam to my son is hard and frustrating, like I remind him everytime he goes to the toilet to point his Willy down because well he pisses all over the seat and even on the floor (he sits on the toilet been trying to get him to go like a "normal boy" But he won't even go for bush wees when we try and get him to but will hold it till he gets to a toilet)

My daughter is 19 months so I'll be potty training her in the next year and of course I don't know what that's gonna be like but yeah honestly being a Mam to a boy just isn't for the weak 😂

Would you let her babysit?

My family goes to the same restaurant weekly, have been going for over a year so they know us
The manager (45-50 if I had to guess) comes and talks to us, she loves kids so she loves coming and seeing how my son is (he’s almost 3)
Eventually after getting more familiar she asked me if she could take my son to walk around the restaurant, my family and I always take turns doing this when he gets fussy
I said it’s fine since I can see and I know she’s not going anywhere, later she said if I’m ever in need of a babysitter to let her know
I really could use a babysitter, I never have time to myself, but is it okay to trust her? I don’t want to be too trusting but I also don’t want to be paranoid
So moms who are protective but not paranoid, what do you think? Should I let her babysit? Is this what having a village is?

Tips for giving slippery finger foods!

My 6m baby is obsessed with red bell pepper. But after I have removed the skin and steamed it, its super slippery. He gets frustrated trying to hold onto it. I think ive seen you can put ground flax seeds on things to help with grip. But is that actually safe??
