Nursery

Currently planning for baby number 2. My two year old goes to nursery two days a week. We had to reserve his place for our nursery in pregnancy and we didn’t have much choice on which days were available even this far in advance. What are people’s experience with this when siblings are joining the nursery? Do they generally get them in the same days as their older siblings? Worrying about work if they can only accommodate different days!

They would only be able to offer what they have available unfortunately. I would contact them as soon as you are comfortable when you find out and get them booked in!

If only planning for number 2, there’s a chance your first could have left/ be leaving nursery… counting pregnancy and maternity leave

You'd have to likely book early again to ensure the same days

Marriage issues, venting!

I work for the nhs as a clinician I usually do anywhere between 40-60 hour weeks my husband doesn’t work. I cook, I clean, I look after our child after 12 plus hours night shifts/after work/on my rest days my husband can’t even put his own clothes away that he takes off at night…

he’ll see me cleaning the floor and he’ll come in with muddy shoes, he’s got no interest in doing anything outside the house unless I am coming up with the idea or force him out the house.

I do all the jobs in the house, putting up lights, painting, DIY and other household chores as well as pay the bills ect.

We have been together for 10 years (since 17 years old) and married 3…
He wasn’t always like this.

I don’t know what to do, I have expressed this to him multiple times.

We have a 2 year old so it makes things very difficult and I’d feel bad telling him to leave the house and go to his parents but I’m stuck because he’s not changing. X

Who's the YES parent

My 4 year old always says "daddy always says yes and mummy always says no"
Im the default parent.
My partner always wants to be the fun one giving sweets and would buy her a new toy daily if i let him.
If she asks him for something he says yes and alot the time I have to then say no!
Ive spoken to him and told him its not good in the long run and he will agree but come his day off it happens all over again🤦🏽‍♀️
Our 4 year old is 100% closer to me and I think my partner is almost trying to but her affection!!!

Wanting another

Our Jan baby is our 2nd child and I'm finding it hard having to pack away her clothes she's growing out of knowing I'll never be able to have them out again and to sell them.

My heart would absolutely love another but my wallet and energy does not. (32 years old).

My partner was never really keen when I told him I was pregnant again (needed help to conceive with my 1st). But now seeing him play with her he is absolutely smitten.

I hate these feelings of wanting another, I feel like having two is the sweet spot as they can go on rides together I feel like having a 3rd would be left out.

I am squeezing in as many cuddles and contact naps as I can now.

Does anyone else feel the same?

Sick of aryuing with this idiot

Constantly arguing about house jobs because he does fuck all and when he does decide to do something he does it wrong. Putting in black jeans with colourful items into the washing machine at 60 degrees which makes the dye leak out the darks and he comes out with "I know how it works they've been washed loads of times" Right so? They can still fucking leak! So I'm watching our sons favorite blanket going round and round in the machine and it's not as orange as it was.

Wouldn't have been a problem if he set the temperature at the usual temperature of 30.

Lucky I didn't have my expensive pyjamas in the basket otherwise that would have been them ruined again. I've kicked off with him twice about putting darks with colours and whites but he doesn't fucking listen!

And before anyone says do your own laundry, I do trust me I do I always split items up but him? Nope he just shoves the whole lot in and calls it a day he doesn't even remove it I have to..
Getting bored of this, fighting over house jobs but yet when I left him last year and I was dropping kids off at the house for him to have them the house was spotless, laundry done, dishes done but as soon as I've came back this lasted all of a month and now it's me doing everything. And his excuse is that I need to tell him to do the dishes, like I don't allow them to pile up to the point we don't have any plated left 🙃 I'm at breaking point and this was 80% of the reason I left him
