I'm struggling to find places to go with my 2 year old daughter there's isn't much for her age we go parks but she doesn't play with other children. Worried she's not going to socialise very well. Any suggestions on places

In laws didn’t get me a bday gift…

Just need a moment to vent. My in laws didn’t get me anything for my birthday this year - just a card that they nearly forgot about as is. They have always done gifts and got my SIL a gift just last month…

I don’t need anyone to say “well maybe they are having money issues” or whatnot. We have a shared Amazon account so I see their orders 🙈 just in general feeling like they only like me at this point because I grew them a grandbaby

Also to point out for my birthday we went to a hockey game. I purchased the tickets for everyone, my in laws included…

Nursery

Hi all, my son has just started nursery and he’s pretty much potty trained. I need some advice as when I pick him up they have said he’s had no accidents but he’s not pulling his pants down far enough and we’re on the back off them when sat on the potty ?

How do I ask them nicely to help him next time as I thought this would have been common sense to help ?

I’ve also managed to come home with some other kids underwear so how have they mixed this up ?

And he’s not getting cleaned properly, he comes home with crusty nose from dry bogeys, he has sand all over him (why not clean it off) etc

Is this normal ?

Screen time

I’ve been cutting back on screen time as of late I feel like a bad parent just letting him watch tv , I read to him , I narrate things we do throughout the day but I feel like the tv is becoming a must have when he’s crying I’ll turn on the tv and he will immediately stop , we have been doing walks maybe 2-3 times a day what are some other things to do that don’t involve tv ?

Bf said I’m nagging

I wanna break up with my bf, im tired of the constant conversations and no changes, he’ll reassure me today and go back on his words tomorrow.. He always come over, we’ll have sex and he’ll leave immediately.. I complained to him, told him I don’t like feeling like I’m a booty call.. so he came over today and we had sex, then he said he doesn’t like the way I complain about him not calling me, me saying he doesn’t love me or care for me, he said he sees it as nagging and he doesn’t like women that nags… At the moment I felt very hurt, me expressing my feelings is nagging? I didn’t say anything to him, he left as usual.. I wanna call it off cos I’m tired and done.. we never spend time together, he doesn’t stay for long with me, and I call him my boyfriend? He said it’s making him see me like a relationship and not a friend… we’ve been in this for 2yrs lol… and I asked him “are we friends?” Cos I’m confused.. he said we are more than that, deeper than that… then what?
I’m emotionally tired tbh.. I wanna call it off and he’s not picking his call. I don’t wanna text him, I want him to hear me call it off.

Toddler classes

So when I was on maternity leave I did baby sensory, baby massage and other classes to give us some structure to our days.
I made loads of great friends too ☺️

However now we’re all back at work I don’t get to see my pals anymore. Plus the days I am at home it’s turned into more doing errands with my daughter.

I only work three days a week and I think if I see our local park or library one more time I’m going to scream! I want our fun days back.

What classes are you currently enjoying with your toddler? For reference she’s 19 months, walks well and is really trying hard to talk.

Dad not participating much…

Hey ladies. More and more I start to notice that my husband doesn’t really participate much in raising our girl. She’s 5 months. I’m stay at home mom and still wake up at night for feeds. I’m the main parent and there’s nothing wrong with it but it would be nice if my husband helped after work. He gets up at 5am so he can gym and then go to work till 4. He is then tired and exhausted. He works a corporate job as a manager so he’s not actually in labor intensive work just a bunch of meeting and desk work. Now I’m not diminishing his work, all types of work are exhausting in their own way. But after work he plays with the baby for 10/15 minutes and then he’s fed up and just watches tv or on his phone “resting”. Where’s my rest? I clean and cook and shop and entertain (we all know how exhausting it is to entertain a baby). After work I get his dinner ready and he usually eats dinner on his own while I just sit there with the baby entertaining (hungry) and then when I went to go wash her bottles and asked him to watch the baby, she was just laying on a couch fussing while he watched tv, he asked what I’m doing why is she fussing, I told him that she probably wants to be played with. He proceeded to say “husband up early, work, come home, baby and sleep and it’s all over again tomorrow” I took offense to the baby part cause he made it sound like he didn’t want to deal with her and it’s now a chore. Like I’m fine with 1 kid. But he wants 4. And I don’t think I want to have more than 2 if this is how it is. Most of the free time he games and sometimes plays with baby. But let me tell you, he doesn’t know how much oz she drinks, or that she doesn’t take bath every night now, or how to put her to nap. He feeds her ever so often if I ask. And changes a diaper maybe a few times a month (generous). I won’t tell him anything cause he’s sensitive. And he always hits me with I do this so you can stay at home with the baby. And yes my life is awesome, I have money and jewelry and few vacations a year. But I all that means nothing if im the only one raising her and he’s not involved as much as he actually thinks. Like he wouldn’t even know how to properly get her to sleep for the night.
